New ServiceNow flaw lets attackers enumerate restricted data

A new vulnerability in ServiceNow, dubbed Count(er) Strike, allows low-privileged users to extract sensitive data from tables to which they should not have access. ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to manage digital workflows for their enterprise operations. It is widely adopted across various industries, including public sector organizations, healthcare, financial institutions, and large enterprises. The flaw was discovered by Varonis Threat Labs in February 2025

The MFA You Trust Is Lying to You – and Here's How Attackers Exploit It

Still getting login codes via text or authenticator apps? You’re not alone—and that’s a big problem. What used to feel like a smart security layer is now one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access to your accounts. First we were told to use SMS for MFA. Then we were told: “Don’t use SMS for MFA, use an authenticator app instead.” And while that may seem like a step forward, it’s still fundamentally flawed. Authenticator apps do improve over SMS by avoiding message interception, but t

The U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned cyber actor Song Kum Hyok for his association with North Korea's hacking group Andariel and for facilitating IT worker schemes that generated revenue for the Pyongyang regime. Considered a sub-cluster of the Lazarus group linked to North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau, the Andariel state actor is focused mostly on financially-motivated operations like ransomware (Maui, Play) and cryptocurrency heists. Song Kum Hyok has been identified as a

I went hands-on with Samsung's Z Flip 7 FE, and it left me with more questions than answers

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a big upgrade over its predecessor. It features an edge-to-edge cover-screen display, a bigger battery, and more polished AI features. It retains the $1,099 price tag, but Samsung needed a flip phone under $1,000 to address the increasing competition from Motorola Razr. Enter the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.

This $300 Motorola has no business being this good for the price (and it's on sale)

Motorola's Moto G Power is the sibling to the 2025 Moto G, a solid mid-tier smartphone that I reviewed not too long ago. The variant is not a huge upgrade over the base device. The two share many similarities, with only a handful of differences. But those small changes were enough to make me enjoy the Power model more than the standard. Also: Best Prime Day phone deals: Top sales on iPhones, Samsung, Google Pixel, more One of the problems I had with the standard Moto G is that it's meant to be

Florida is letting companies make it harder for highly paid workers to swap jobs

This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. One of the most employer-friendly policies in the US has become law. Florida enacted legislation that allows companies to enforce non-compete agreements for up to four years, up from the current two. The new law is a big win for Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, who advocated for it. With the new arrangement, employees leaving a company would be relieved of their job responsibilities but sever

X Chief Says She Is Leaving the Social Media Platform

Linda Yaccarino, the chief executive of X and a top lieutenant to its owner, Elon Musk, said on Wednesday that she was leaving the company two years after joining the social media platform.

I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me.” She did not provide a reason for her departure. Ms. Yacc

A fast 3D collision detection algorithm

This article will assume some familiarity with narrow phase collision detection methods and associated geometric concepts such as the Minkowski sum. A few years ago I was watching Dirk’s great presentation, The Separating Axis Test between Convex Polyhedra (video, slides). Around the 18 minute mark (slide 29) he starts talking about overlaying Gauss maps of convex polyhedra to find the faces of their Minkowski difference. Figure 1: A gauss map for two convex hulls The upshot is that all faces

Tree Borrows

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension. On the one hand, compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powe

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Hands-On: The Cover Screen Is No Longer Made for Ants

Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s Z Flip 7 feels less like a major leap forward. Announced at Unpacked, the fllp-style smartphone has the largest cover screen that Samsung’s ever put on phone that folds in half like an old cellphone, and certain specs are improved, but the dimensions still feel like the Z Flip 6. I really wish Samsung trimmed down the Z Flip 7 the same way it did the Z Fold 7. See Galaxy Z Flip7 at Samsung.com See Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung.com Starting at $1,100, the Z F

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Hands-On: Finally as Thin and Light as a Regular Phone

Headlining Samsung’s summer Unpacked event is the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Prime Day Turns This HP USB-C Dock Into a Practically Free Grab, Now 58% Off and stock Is Moving Fast

You can get a lot done using just a laptop, but there is an upper limit when compared to a desktop PC. Laptop screens are much smaller than a standard desktop monitor. A 17-inch laptop is pretty large when stacked up against other laptop screens, but monitors tend to be almost twice that size or in some cases, even larger. Monitors be ultra-wide, display up to 4K, and showcase a larger field of view. And with monitors, you can add in more than one for even more workspace. Plus, you can get more
