HN 12 - The Dark Side of Hacking: Russian Hackers' Infrastructural Shift and Google AI's Fuzzing

Author: Cipherceval August 24, 2023 Duration: 14:46

In the Dark Side of Hacking, we take a look at how Russian Hackers have shifted their focus to attacking infrastructure rather than individuals after being identified and putting victims through panic.

Google AI launches a new bug hunting strategy called Fuzzing, which uses a machine learning algorithm to search for flaws in software. Fuzzing is a more targeted approach to bug hunting that can be used to find vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
