Microsoft Entra ID flaw allowed hijacking any company's tenant

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-10-09 15:30:51

A critical combination of legacy components could have allowed complete access to the Microsoft Entra ID tenant of every company in the world. The fatal mix included undocumented tokens called “actor tokens” and a vulnerability in the Azure AD Graph API (CVE-2025-55241) that allowed the tokens to work with any organization’s Entra ID environment. A threat actor exploiting the issue would have had access to a slew of highly sensitive data without leaving any trace in the logs on the targeted en

An Asteroid Could Smash Into the Moon in 2032. Here’s Why We Should Destroy It

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-09 12:00:35

Asteroid 2024 YR4 garnered global attention last year when astronomers estimated it could hit Earth in 2032. Though they have since ruled out that possibility, this large space rock still has a 4% chance of smashing into the Moon. Those are pretty slim odds, but on the off chance 2024 YR4 does end up on a collision course with the Moon, the scientific community needs to be prepared. Astronomers have found evidence to suggest that a lunar impact could eject an enormous amount of micrometeoroid d

Brian McKenna — The following has never happened to me but I often hear stories. You go into work and discover that a coworker isn't happy with some code you wrote because they don't understand it. They go to your manager and tell them that you're being a problem by writing code they don't understand. Your manager, being very skilled in conflict resolution, makes a technical decision to avoid whatever tool you used which caused the problem. In your case it was functional programming. That's i

‘Black Phone 2’ Is Everything You Want In a Horror Sequel

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-09 18:30:58

More often than not, horror sequels are weak imitations of the original, a cheap, quick, cash grab that hits the same beats in a slightly different way. Black Phone 2 is not that. It’s a sequel that changes and elevates the original in ways you’d never expect. You learn more about the world, the characters, the killer, and by the end, it’s almost as if the original was merely a table setting for the horrors of its follow-up.

OpenAI researchers tried to train the company's AI to stop "scheming" — a term the company defines as meaning "when an AI behaves one way on the surface while hiding its true goals" — but their efforts backfired in an ominous way. In reality, the team found, they were unintentionally teaching the AI how to more effectively deceive humans by covering its tracks.

Moon Helium Deal Is the Biggest Space Resource Grab Yet

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-09 14:00:11

For billions of years, solar winds have bombarded the Moon. Over time, this constant onslaught of charged particles has caused helium-3 to accumulate in the lunar surface. This isotope is rare on Earth, and rising demand from several industries—including quantum computing—has incentivized some companies to explore the possibility of lunar mining. One such company is Interlune, a Seattle-based startup that aims to extract natural resources—primarily helium-3—from the lunar surface. Interlune eve

An AI model wants you to believe it can't answer how many grams of oxygen are in 50.0 grams of aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃). When asked ten straight chemistry questions in a test, the OpenAI o3 model faced a predicament. In its "reasoning," it speculated that if it answered "too well," it would risk not being deployed by the researchers.
