Low-cost Android smartphones are being shipped with preinstalled malware that can turn them into residential proxies, allowing hackers to conduct ad fraud, silent installations or removals of partner apps, and more. According to Bitdefender, the malicious software is designed to generate revenue, with the operators carrying out ad and click fraud, collecting device and installed-app information, and turning infected devices into residential-proxy relay nodes. The preinstalled nature of the malware suggests a compromise of the device supply chain, and the fact that the malware has been detected on devices with firmware signed using certificates attributed to Shenzhen Zediel Co., Ltd, a Chinese Android device manufacturer, highlights the need for increased vigilance and cooperation between vendors, marketplaces, and consumers to prevent such threats.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital forensics and incident response has been gaining popularity in recent years. However, the increasing reliance on AI in these areas has also raised concerns about the reliability and validity of AI-generated findings. In response to these concerns, SANS has created two new AI frameworks designed to help practitioners develop reliable ways to verify AI-generated output. The frameworks provide a comprehensive approach to verifying AI-generated output in digital forensics and incident response, and highlight the importance of understanding the underlying discipline and using AI on top of it. By adopting these frameworks, practitioners can build a defensible AI practice and address the unique challenges of digital forensics and incident response.

A critical Linux kernel vulnerability known as PwnEscape has been discovered, allowing code inside a virtual machine to read memory on the host computer it runs on. The vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's networking code and was demonstrated against Vercel's live cloud sandboxes. The fix for the vulnerability is a single Linux kernel change that adds a check to prevent packets from pointing into the IPv4 header. Updating the host kernel to one of the fixed versions above can fix the vulnerability. However, the discovery highlights the need for cloud providers to prioritize security and to work together to address shared vulnerabilities.
