Bluetooth Blues: Cars, Chats, and Chaos in a Hacker’s Paradise!
Rowhammer attacks have hammered their way into Nvidia GPUs, prompting the tech giant to advise users to enable ECC. It’s like a memory workout, but not the kind you want. Make sure your GPU isn’t having a meltdown—because no one wants a tech-induced memory lapse!
Hot Take:
Nvidia’s GPUs are now the latest to join the Rowhammer drama club, proving once again that even the most advanced tech needs a little extra shielding against those pesky memory-hammering gremlins. Meanwhile, car hackers are revving up with Bluetooth exploits, Jack Dorsey’s got a BitChat that’s more chat than bit, Marco Rubio is being deepfaked into oblivion, and Bitcoin Depot users are left wondering if their identities are now part of a cryptocurrency scavenger hunt. Who knew cybersecurity could be this entertaining?
Key Points:
- Nvidia’s GPUs found vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks; System-Level ECC is the hero we need.
- PerfektBlue attack exposes cars’ Bluetooth systems, proving hackers have a real need for speed.
- Jack Dorsey’s BitChat app is about as secure as a chocolate teapot, says security expert.
- Deepfake Marco Rubio is calling people, and no, it’s not an AI-generated political campaign.
- Bitcoin Depot takes a year to inform users of a data breach; patience isn’t always a virtue.
