Zoom’s AI context layer connects business data to meeting assistance

The point of Zoom’s Unified Context Layer is to give AI business context it can use to help an individual participant during a conversation—not just transcribe what was said. In principle, an assistant could use that context to surface a relevant answer or suggestion. Zoom says its planned Live Meeting AI Agent will provide proactive help, including finding answers and keeping meetings on track, but hasn’t specified whether its suggestions will be private to one participant or how they will appear.

📰 This cool Raspberry Pi project turns Telegram photos and voice messages into framed pictures

Some of the more ingenious projects I've reported on were born from limitations. While tinkerers will gladly load up their gadgets with as many features as possible, things change when they want to make something for someone who may not be as big of a tech geek as they are. Such is the case of this lovely Raspberry Pi project that allowed a grandma to keep up with the family's Telegram group with minimal interaction.

Около 10% выходных узлов Tor были вовлечены в атаку по перехвату SSH-подключений

Опубликованы детали инцидента, в ходе которого злоумышленникам удалось получить контроль над 333 выходными узлами сети Tor (всего в Tor около 3000 выходных узлов) и организовать на них перехват нешифрованного трафика и перенаправление SSH-соединений. Атака началась 2 октября (в пятницу вечером), но была выявлена и начала блокироваться 4 октября. 5 октября все скомпрометированные серверы были отключены операторами или самими атакующими. Разбирательство показало, что атакующие получили доступ к серверам за два месяца до начала атаки на пользователей Tor и установили в скомпрометированных системах вредоносное ПО Ebury 1.8.3.
