New EDR-Freeze tool uses Windows WER to suspend security software

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-10-08 18:07:14

A new method and proof-of-concept tool called EDR-Freeze demonstrates that evading security solutions is possible from user mode with Microsoft's Windows Error Reporting (WER) system. The technique eliminates the need of a vulnerable driver and puts security agents like endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools into a state of hibernation. By using the WER framework together with the MiniDumpWriteDump API, security researcher TwoSevenOneThree (Zero Salarium) found a way to suspend indefinite

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will stop using OneDrive as a cloud backup option in the Gallery app. Instead, the company will use its own cloud solution to back up your data. There’s no date yet for when OneDrive support will end. If you have syncing enabled in the Samsung Gallery app, then your photos will automatically be backed up to the cloud. Not only does this allow you to access your photos from other devices, but it’s also nice knowing you won’t lose your precious mome

With the number of passenger vehicles rising across Europe, cities are grappling with air pollution, traffic accidents, and the loss of public space. In Spain, the city of Pontevedra has managed to overcome these challenges, surpassing national air quality standards and creating safer streets. The key, according to the Galician municipality’s mayor, is an urban model that prioritises residents over cars – without imposing an outright ban on private vehicles.

The New Math of Quantum Cryptography

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2025-11-01 06:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them will doom most forms of cryptography. Several years ago, researchers found a radically new approach to encryption that lacks this potential weak spot. The approach exploits the peculiar features of quantum physics. But unlike earlier qua

You can cut a hole in a cube that’s big enough to slide an identical cube through that hole! Think about that for a minute—it’s kind of weird. Amazingly, nobody could prove any convex polyhedron doesn’t have this property! It’s called ‘Rupert’s property’. Until this week. This week Steininger and Yurkevich proved there is a convex polyhedron that you can’t cut a hole in big enough to slide the entire polyhedron through the hole.

Why email security needs its EDR moment to move beyond prevention

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-05 15:01:11

Security leaders today are rethinking email security, not because traditional methods have failed outright, but because the threat landscape and business needs have evolved beyond what legacy approaches can handle. A surprising but apt analogy keeps surfacing: email security is stuck where antivirus (AV) was a decade ago, and it’s time it evolved like AV did, into an element of EDR. The comparison might not be obvious at first. After all, email and endpoints seem like apples and oranges. But
