OpenAI bots accessed public U.S. Census, SEC data, as company discloses unexpected AI activity
OpenAI disclosed Friday that its artificial intelligence agents had interacted with several U.S. government websites in unexpected ways, discovered as part of an ongoing review into the company’s models’ unanticipated behavior.
Exploit.in Database Reveals the Roots of Today’s Ransomware Ecosystem
Exploit.in data shows how a 2005 cybercrime forum helped shape today’s ransomware ecosystem, with users and practices surviving for decades. Ransomnews researcher Dancho Danchev dug up a database dump of Exploit.in covering its first three years, from Februar
SharePoint RCE and MikroTik RouterOS Flaws Actively Exploited in the Wild
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Friday added two security flaws impacting Microsoft SharePoint and Mikrotik RouterOS to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerabilities in question are as follows -
In 2023, recycled face-mask fibre was added to printable concrete; a 1% dose raised compressive strength by 41% over unreinforced concrete
Research revealed that fibres from discarded surgical masks can significantly improve the strength of 3D-printed concrete. Specifically, adding mask fibres increased the compressive strength by 41% when tested in laboratory conditions. The study indicated tha
Kiteworks Urges Customers to Shut Down Systems for 9 Hours Over Possible Cyber Attack
Kiteworks (formerly Accellion) is urging customers to shut down their systems as a precautionary measure for nine hours over the weekend after it received threat intelligence about an imminent cyber attack. "Kiteworks received credible threat intelligence from federal intelligence authorities indic
In 2023, engineers melted discarded plastic bags into roof tiles; the lighter tiles showed test temperatures about 17°C lower than standard roof materials
In a groundbreaking study, researchers in Pakistan have innovatively turned discarded plastic bags into roofing tiles, resulting in a remarkable temperature difference of 17°C compared to standard concrete. This new material, dubbed 'plastocrete', not only of
Mother whose daughter died after marathon from SADS wants cardiac screening for teens
THE MOTHER OF a young runner who died shortly after she crossed the finish line in the half-marathon in Cork city last year is supporting a fundraising appeal aimed at detecting possible abnormalitie
In 2025, engineers replaced road stone with steel-furnace slag and waste plastic; the mix showed better rutting resistance, fatigue life and stiffness than conventional aggregate
Research shows that electric arc furnace slag can replace conventional aggregates in stone matrix asphalt mixtures. Laboratory tests indicate improved performance characteristics such as rutting resistance and fatigue life with this combination. Additionally,
How to watch Texas vs. Tennessee: Live streams, channel, venue, odds

Refrigerators: The Next Battle Frontier?
The next battle frontier may not begin with a missile launch or an attack on a satellite. It may begin with a series of small, seemingly unrelated failures designed to disrupt, complicate, and confuse us before we even realize we are under attack. And yes, th
In 2024, engineers paved a test overlay with recycled tyre rubber and tire-fabric fibre; the field-tested road surface developed no visible cracking
Innovative research is underway to enhance the durability of asphalt pavements through the incorporation of recycled tyre materials. A comprehensive study suggests that the inclusion of ground tyre rubber and fabric fibres significantly boosts resistance agai
