Dribbble is enforcing its terms of service that lets it take a cut of designers’ work, and kicking out those who don’t comply. One top designer has had enough, and is building his own startup instead.Dribbble is enforcing its terms of service that lets it take a cut of designers’ work, and kicking out those who don’t comply.

A code-reuse attack named coroutine frame-oriented programming (CFOP) is capable of exploiting C++ coroutines across three major compilers, namely Clang/LLVM, GCC and MSVC. CFOP even succeeds in environments that are protected by control flow integrity (CFI), exposing relevant gaps in 15 of these defense schemes.A code-reuse attack named coroutine frame-oriented programming (CFOP) is capable of exploiting C++ coroutines across three major compilers, namely Clang/LLVM, GCC and MSVC.

New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have put forward a novel framework that identifies adversarial threats to foundation models—artificial intelligence approaches that seamlessly integrate and process text and image data. This work empowers system developers and security experts to better understand model vulnerabilities and reinforce resilience against ever more sophisticated attacks.New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks.

A POSTECH research team has developed a thin, flexible robotic actuator inspired by human muscle proteins. As thin as paper, yet capable of generating strong forces, this robot can maneuver through tight spaces and manipulate objects, making it suitable for a wide range of applications—from surgical robots to industrial equipment. The study has been published in Nature Communications.A POSTECH research team has developed a thin, flexible robotic actuator inspired by human muscle proteins.
