Imagine a world where the software that powers your favorite apps, secures your online transactions, and keeps your digital life could be outsmarted and taken over by a cleverly disguised piece of code. This isn't a plot from the latest cyber-thriller; it's actually been a reality for years now. How this will change – in a positive or negative direction – as artificial intelligence (AI) takes on a larger role in software development is one of the big uncertainties related to this brave new world. In an era where AI promises to revolutionize how we live and work, the conversation about its security implications cannot be sidelined. As we increasingly rely on AI for tasks ranging from mundane to mission-critical, the question is no longer just, "Can AI  boost cybersecurity ?" (sure!), but also "Can AI  be hacked? " (yes!), "Can one use AI  to hack? " (of course!), and "Will AI  produce secure software ?" (well…). This thought leadership article is about the latter. Cydrill  (a

Iran will Develop their own security Software , No more foreign Solution According to latest report, Iran's Information and Communications Technology Minister announce that - Iran has prohibited import of foreign computer security software. Because International sanctions stopped Iran from obtaining anti-virus software. So, Iran stressed that no foreign software for computer security will be imported into the country, adding that Iran will rely on its own software, made by local developers. The Bonian Daneshpajouhan Institute has about 25 smaller firms that develop domestic security software of various nature, and country will rely on it.  A senior Iranian intelligence official has claimed that an estimated 16,000 computers were infected by the Stuxnet virus, which targeted the country's nuclear facilities and other industrial sites in 2010. The ban is intended to push Iran into the production of its own malware defense instruments. Whether the Stuxnet virus affected only

Iran government websit es now on local server to Protect them from Cyber Attacks An Iranian official says the country has transferred the location of most of its government websites from foreign-based hosting agencies to new computer facilities inside the country to avert potential cyber attacks. The country's deputy minister for communications and information technology, Ali Hakim Javadi, Reuters reports that more than 90 percent of all the Iranian government's websites have had their hosting locations transferred inside the country. " Over 30 000 Iranian websites, including those of key institutions such as ministries, were hosted abroad, mainly in North America ," the Islamic Republic News Agency cited Ali Hakim Javadi, the Deputy Minister for Communications and Information Technology, as saying without specifying the countries involved.

An Iranian engineer working on the captured US drone has said that Iran exploited a weakness in the craft's navigation system to hijack it. The aircraft was downed through a relatively unsophisticated cyber-attack that tricked its global positioning systems (GPS). The technique, known as " GPS spoofing " has been around for several years, and the Iranians began studying it in 2007, the engineer reportedly said. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that GPS is widely used, but insecure, although few users have taken note. GPS signals for the U.S. military are similarly insecure, and drones often rely on signals from multiple satellites. It's possible to spoof unencrypted civilian GPS systems. But military GPS receivers, such as the one likely installed on the missing drone, use the encrypted P(Y)-code to communicate with satellites. " With spoofing, an adversary provides fake GPS signals. This convinces the GPS receiver that it is located in the wrong place and/or time ," t

Duqu computer virus Detected by Iran civil defense organization The virus is called W32.Duqu, or just Duqu create fear after the opening Pandora's Box of Stuxnet. The head of Iran's civil defense organization told the official IRNA news agency that computers at all main sites at risk were being checked and that Iran had developed software to combat the virus. First, Duqu is not deigned to harm industrial automation. The software basically attacks windows systems. Instead of sabotaging industrial control, Duqu has been general remote access capabilities. Duqu has a key logger and can save passwords etc.. The malware uses HTTP and HTTPS to communicate to a command and control (C&C) server at 206.183.111.97, which is hosted in India, the IP is inactive as of October 18th. Duqu infiltrates systems directly it is not a worm like Stuxnet and needs to be placed directly, e.g. through infected mails.Duqu also the certificate of C-Media Electronics Incorporation, a Taiwanese audio ch

Comodohacker is 21 year old patriotic Iranian Hacker The New York Times got in touch with Comodohacker, who says he's a 21-year-old Iranian student, and asked him about the motives behind his sweeping breach of Gmail this summer. By sniping security certificates from a Dutch company — essentially the digital ID cards that tell your computer a website's legit — Comodohacker was able to crack 300,000 Iranian Gmail accounts, prompting Google to warn the entire country. " My country should have control over Google, Skype, Yahoo, etc., " he said by e-mail. " I'm breaking all encryption algorithms and giving power to my country to control all of them. "" I'm totally independent, " he said " I just share my findings with some people in Iran. They are free to do anything they want with my findings and things I share with them, but I'm not responsible. " Hundreds of companies and government authorities around the world, including in the United States and China, have the power to issue the

Iran has tricked a web firm into issuing fake security certificates for Gmail, Skype, Hotmail and more. Comodo Group, a US-based certificate authority firm with 15% of the market, admitted that one of its affiliate's accounts in Southern Europe had been hacked, letting the attackers create fake SSL security certificates for six websites. Such digital keys let websites offer secure services, and fake versions could be used to spoof sites, gather login details and watch user activity. The fake certificates target Microsoft's Live platform, Gmail and Google, Skype, Yahoo, and Mozilla Firefox extensions. The attack was quickly discovered, with the attacker still using the account when it was shut down. Comodo's CEO Melih Abdulhayogl said the attack appeared to originate in Iran, as it would have required access to the country's DNS infrastructure. "We believe these are politically motivated, state-driven/funded attacks," he said in a blog post, adding it wa

A State Department spokesman could not be reached for comment. An administration official said the group identified with the banner is known as the Iranian Cyber Army.
