iOS and Android juice jacking defenses have been trivial to bypass for years

iOS and Android juice jacking defenses have been trivial to bypass for years

All three of the ChoiceJacking techniques defeat Android juice-jacking mitigations. One of them also works against those defenses in Apple devices. In all three, the charger acts as a USB host to trigger the confirmation prompt on the targeted phone. The attacks then exploit various weaknesses in the OS that allow the charger to autonomously…

New study shows why simulated reasoning AI models don’t yet live up to their billing

New study shows why simulated reasoning AI models don’t yet live up to their billing

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with impressive accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper mathematical proofs found in competition-level challenges, they often fail. That’s the finding of eye-opening preprint research into simulated reasoning (SR) models, initially listed…
