Researchers today revealed a new 'SATAn' attack that can turn a SATA cable into a radio transmitter, thus allowing a hacker to exfiltrate data from a system that isn't connected to a network and transmit it to a receiver 1m away — all without physically modifying the SATA cable or hardware. The software-based technique can work from user space or through a virtual machine (VM), and you can see a short demo in the embedded video below. The ubiquitous SATA connection is used in billions of devices worldwide to connect hard drives and SSDs inside a PC, making it the perfect target for hackers looking for a sophisticated attack with a wide footprint. Some of the most sensitive data on the planet is stored in air-gapped systems. These systems are entirely isolated from any connection to the outside world, like a network or the internet, and also don't have any hardware that can communicate wirelessly, like wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi hardware. As such, it requires ultra-sophisticated techniques to steal data from them. Researcher Mordechai Guri at the University of the Negev, Israel, has accomplished the feat by converting a standard SATA cable into a radio transmitter, but without actually making any physical modifications to the hardware. As with all computer interfaces, the SATA bus generates electromagnetic interference during normal operation, and if used correctly, that interference can be mani[CENSORED]ted and then used to transmit data. In this case, the researcher used the SATA cable as a wireless antenna that operated on the 6 GHz frequency band, thus transmitting a short message to the nearby laptop. This attack can be used in concert with keyloggers to steal passwords or other sensitive data. Likewise, attackers can employ other mechanisms to steal important data, like files and images. Naturally, the attacker would first have to install malicious software onto the targeted machine, but as we've seen with Stuxnet and other attacks, USB devices with malicious code can spread malware inside protected systems. Otherwise, the attacker would need physical access to install the attack payload. Once installed, the malicious software first encodes the data to be stolen. Then it conducts certain types of file system access, like reads and writes, in a controlled manner to generate a signal on the cable. While either read or write operations can effectively create the correct signals, the researcher notes that read operations typically don't require higher permissions at the system level and generate stronger signals (up to 3 dB) than write operations. The researchers also noted that background operations that incur other traffic to the storage device are generally fine. Still, intense drive activity can muddy the transmissions, so it's best to pause or stop the transmission when heavy background activities occur. The attacker can then receive the signal from a nearby device, but the reach is limited. In this case, the receiver has to be within 1m of the transmitter due to increased bit error rates associated with longer distances. The receiving device, in this case, a laptop, uses a Software Defined Radio (SDR) receiver to receive the signal. The philosophy behind this type of attack isn't new — researchers have previously demonstrated mani[CENSORED]ting the clock rates of an AMD Radeon graphics card to create a radio transmitter that generated a signal that an attacker could receive through a wall 50 feet away — but the hacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated as researchers find new interfaces to exploit. There are several ways to mitigate these types of attacks, but they aren't foolproof. The paper suggests that the first line of defense is to implement policies that prevent the initial penetration, along with other tactics, like forbidding radio receivers in the secured facility. Naturally, spooks can also use monitoring hardware of their own to detect if any nefarious transmissions are underway, or install software on secured machines that monitors abnormal file usage, like odd read and write activity to temporary files. These tend to be low-yield methods of detection, though, because the transmissions and drive activity are easy to disguise. The most direct method of protection would be to add extra electromagnetic shielding either on the SATA cable or to the PC's case. But then again, perhaps the complexity of the attack itself is the best protection for us normal folks. Building the receiver is surprisingly simple, but developing the requisite software and encoding techniques would require a high level of sophistication, meaning that these types of attacks are most likely relegated to nation-states engaging in espionage, meaning the average user has nothing to worry about.

Netflix needs a buyer. Flying solo while content costs and competition skyrocket and subscription levels stagnate or fall is not sustainable. But is Microsoft the right rescuer? A new rumor suggests that Netflix and Microsoft, which recently climbed on the couch together to binge billions of dollars in ad revenue on Netflix's upcoming ad-tie-supported service, might become more than just friends. Speaking to Yahoo Finance(opens in new tab), Needham Senior Analysis Laura Martin contends this deal is simply Phase One of a wooing process that could bring Microsoft inside until it decides to bring Netflix all the way inside. "Netflix is trying to get closer to Microsoft in hopes that, after Microsoft digests its Activision acquisition, it turns and buys Netflix next," said Martin, referencing the still under regulatory scrutiny $68B Activision acquisition. As Martin rightly assumes, Microsoft is unlikely to make any other company buys - at least of this size - until that deal is done. And, oh yes, a Netflix acquisition would be big, massive even. The company is estimated to be worth around $176 billion. A small number of companies only as big as Microsoft, or maybe Apple could afford it. My immediate reaction to this idea was, "No. Belch. Why? No synergy." Granted, this was a gut reaction, and not well considered. The reality is that this could be either an awful or brilliant acquisition for the 47-year-old company. The why of such a potential acquisition is obvious. Netflix needs a larger company to help shield it from the vagaries of the market while it deals with the ebbs and flows of subscribers and fights and spends to create audience- and award-winning content. It's a good-ish idea For Microsoft, it's a chance to compete - again - with Apple, which launched its own original content streaming service in 2019 and has since won a Best Picture Oscar in the process. That might seem like a slam-dunk idea, but Microsoft has succeeded as of late by realizing that it does not have to be Apple. It's no longer concerned about having its productivity products only on Windows, with its new strategy being, "put Office on whatever screen you want." It's not tied directly to Intel anymore, happily building Windows for ARM systems. Microsoft has a lovely Surface line but doesn't generate the kind of buzz Apple does for MacBooks and iPhones. I'd say Microsoft is happy to win by making billions in Azure cloud money. Thoughts of Azure, though, remind me of the obvious synergies. Netflix, which is hosted on Amazon's AWS, could move to Microsoft's Azure cloud infrastructure. I'm sure they'll get a nice test drive through the ad-server system. There is a clear entertainment cross-over from Microsoft's gaming business that includes Xbox, through which many people already watch Netflix, Gamepass, and myriad game studios, some of which are now spawning streaming content of their own (though not on Netflix). It's a bad idea On the awful side: It's just another tech giant buying another huge company, further consolidating our choices. Microsoft could force through some awful co-branding ideas, like bundling Office 365 with Netflix (though a Netflix Ad-Tier in Gamepass might name sense). It could start peppering LinkedIn with Netflix promos. It might demand Netflix launch a business content streaming platform. That sounds...er...boring. Surely there'll be some oddball tie-ins with underdog search engine Bing, speaking of which, it just occurred to me that "Bing" is only one letter away from "Binge." But I digress. The reality is, this is just one analysis guessing at what this, to be fair, very important partnership could mean. Microsoft may not feel that way about Netflix. Bingeing ad-supported content is cool, but chilling is a little too much.

MSI will debut(opens in new tab) its take on screwless M.2 SSD fixings in upcoming 600-series motherboards for AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Zen 4. The system relies on the combination of an MSI Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr, plus EZ M.2 Clips. MSI’s patent-pending designs require no tools or screws. MSI first showcased the M.2 slot(opens in new tab) design back at Computex 2022. Twitter leaker chi11eddog(opens in new tab) shared a set of authentic-looking images, where you can see an overview slide with various claims by MSI about its Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr’s ease of use. In addition, a couple of illustrations show how to use the install system and how the spring-loaded latch works. On upcoming MSI motherboards with Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr heatsinks, a series of pre-fixed posts will be available to facilitate easier M.2 SSD/heatsink installation. Readers who have installed bare M.2 SSDs will be aware of pivoting in the M.2 stick and then fixing down the other end with a screw. It isn’t tricky when stacked alongside other PC building tasks, but MSI engineers/marketers must have decided it is a problem. With the new MSI system, you first insert the M.2 teeth in the motherboard socket at a slight angle. Then, pushing down the other side of the SSD, you will bring the u-shaped cutout in line with an MSI EZ M.2 clip. Turn this clip to lock the M.2 SSD down flat. It is a lot like the Asus ROG M.2 latch fixing system. MSI doesn’t stop there, as you still have its M.2 heatsink to install – something that will become all the more important with the high-speed PCIe 5.0 SSDs due to debut on next-gen PC platforms. For the heatsink, MSI has another screw-less, tool-less fixing method, dubbed MSI Screwless M.2. It is somewhat similar to the initial M.2 SSD install. First, users line up and insert the fixing post into the back of the heatsink, then pivot it down. Once they feel the heatsink is touching the fixing bases beneath, it is simple to push the spring-loaded slots holes at the far end to line up with the posts beneath, and they will click into place with continued downward pressure. MSI’s Computex 2022 video shows a company exec making this new “easiest” M.2 SSD install look fiddly and difficult to use. Perhaps, since that video, the fixing system has been improved a little, made more fool-proof. We will highlight this fixing system in new motherboard reviews when they arrive.

Musician Name: Whitney Elizabeth Houston Birthday / Location: August 9, 1963 Newark, New Jersey February 11, 2012 (age 48) Beverly Hills, California Main instrument: R&B pop soul gospel dance Musician Picture: Musician Awards & Nominations:- Best Performance: - Other Information: Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer, songwriter, actress, producer, supermodel and businesswoman. She is considered by music critics as the best singer of all time. Her powerful vocals, which reached very high ranges, especially in melismas and vibratos, combined with smooth tessituras, and her extreme artistic talent in composing lyrics and melodies, made her known as A Voz e Rainha da Balada. Houston was the most awarded artist of all time according to Guinness World Records in 2009. Her list of awards includes: two Emmy Awards, seven Grammy Awards; sixteen Billboard Music Awards, twenty-two American Music Awards, for a total of 415 awards won in her career until 2013. One of the most successful artists in the music world, she has sold more than 400 million records worldwide. Inspired by several prominent family soul singers, including her mother Cissy Houston, cousins Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick, Houston began singing with the Church of New Jersey's junior gospel choir at age 11. After she began working as a backing vocalist at her mother's New York nightclub shows in 1977, she was discovered by Clive Davis in 1983, the year her professional career began. He was manager of Arista Records. Houston has released six studio albums and three soundtrack albums, all of which are certified diamond, multi-platinum, platinum and gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Her self-titled debut album, released in 1985, became the best-selling debut album by a female artist, with 25 million copies sold. Her second album, Whitney (1987), became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. Whitney achieved major hits on the po[CENSORED]r music charts, as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for How Will I Know allowed several African-American female artists to follow their success. Houston's first film role was in the film The Bodyguard (1992), in which she was hugely successful as the lead. The film's original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy for Album of the Year. Her first single, I Will Always Love You, became the best-selling single by a female artist in music history. The album is the only one by a female artist in the top five of all time, ranking fourth. Houston continued as a film star and contributed to film scores, including the films Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). Three years after the release of her fourth album, My Love Is Your Love (1998), Whitney renewed her contract with Arista Records. She released her fifth studio album Just Whitney in 2002 and the Christmas album titled One Wish: The Holiday Album in 2003. Amid widespread media coverage of her personal and professional turmoil, Houston ended her troubled marriage. 14-year-old with singer Bobby Brown in 2006. In 2009, Houston released her seventh and final studio album, I Look to You. Whitney was internationally recognized as one of the greatest artists of all time, due to her talent, legacy and, most importantly, her remarkable and legendary voice. Thanks to this remarkable vocal talent, Whitney was often called The Voice. Whitney is often compared to great artists of the past such as Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley and is also among Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Artists of All Time. Whitney died on February 11, 2012. The Los Angeles Criminalistics Institute report stated, in principle, that the death was accidental. The singer drowned in a hotel bathtub. According to the experts, there were signs of heart disease and traces of cocaine use.

Microsoft is making a big change with Windows, switching to a new plan of introducing a fresh incarnation of the desktop operating system every three years, with smaller and more regular feature updates in-between. The move to a new engineering schedule is a rumor floated by Zac Bowden of Windows Central(opens in new tab), who is well-connected at Microsoft, and has offered up reliable leakage in the past. As mentioned, the theory of what’s happening in the future is that Windows will have a three-year release cycle, and as Windows 11 emerged in 2021, that’ll mean an all-new Windows – possibly Windows 12, maybe something entirely different – arriving in 2024 (Windows 24? Windows XXIV? WindowsOS, ahem?). And then another version will pitch up in 2027, and then rinse and repeat (unless Microsoft changes its mind, which is a fair bet, at some point, if recent form is any indication). Of course, what Microsoft doesn’t want is a return to the not-so-good-old-days of having to wait ages for new features to arrive with a fresh incarnation of Windows, so the current version will be continually updated with new functionality throughout any given year. So, instead of a big yearly feature update, Microsoft will issue smaller feature updates every few months, up to four of them per year, Bowden asserts. This situation will come into play from next year, so we’ll still get the Windows 11 22H2 update (aka Sun Valley 2) later this year, of course, but Sun Valley 3 has apparently been scrapped. In 2023, we will instead move to those more compact feature updates rolled out quarterly (or thereabouts), and these will be called ‘Moments’, or at least that’s the working title, it’d seem. Analysis: A logical extension of what’s already happening? Let’s wind back the clock a minute. As you may recall, the original plan with Windows 10 was that it’d be the last version of Windows ever (not that we believed that), and it’d be continually updated on a rolling basis, twice per year. That original concept obviously changed with Windows 11 being launched, and big feature updates getting switched down to a level of once per year. However, with those major feature upgrades having had their cadence slowed, Microsoft has already introduced ‘experience packs’, which might sound like they’re straight out of a plan to monetize an MMORPG, but are in fact Microsoft’s scheme to bring in more regular updates. Feature experience packs, for example, can be deployed to update legacy core apps for Windows away from a major feature update. So really, what we’re hearing here is kind of what we already have – with Windows 11 following Windows 10, we could guess another version was likely coming down the line. And Moments are basically powered-up experience packs, and a way to bring in changes that improve the current interface without radically changing it, which are necessary to facilitate more regular tuning for the desktop OS if Microsoft is moving to a three-yearly plan for new versions of Windows – which is a big if. Whereas those entirely new versions of Windows will be where wholesale changes to the UI or user experience are debuted. Another way to look at this is that it makes sense in terms of being a logical extension of the direction Microsoft has already gone in. And a three-year release gap aligns perfectly with recent history for the software giant, too, with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Window 10 having three-years between them all. Still, we must regard this as just a rumor for now, even if a lot of it does make sense to us, and it’s from a more reliable source than most for Microsoft-related speculation. And besides, even if it is the current plan at Microsoft, that doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way – the company hasn’t been shy about chopping and changing the way the OS is produced in recent times, of course.

Intel developers have submitted Meteor Lake graphics patches that are ready to be merged into the next version of the Linux Direct Rendering Manager (DRM-Next). Once completed, Linux 5.20 will offer initial Meteor Lake graphics support. This is yet another development that points to Meteor Lake being on track, despite some whispers from the rumor mill that it might be delayed. Linux-centric news site Phoronix observed Intel posting Linux driver patches for Meteor Lake support earlier this month. Now, these patches are queued for addition to the i915 kernel graphics driver. The Intel patches confirm that Meteor Lake iGPUs will offer Xe_LPD+ display engine version 14 capabilities, version 13 media block, and version 12.70 graphics block. Current Intel processors with enabled iGPUs use Xe_LPD display engine version 13, and earlier versions of both the media and graphics blocks. Sadly, we don’t know what extra features will be supported with the driver advances. However, it is expected that Meteor Lake iGPUs will be similar in capability to Intel Arc Alchemist discrete graphics, which are starting to become established in new laptops (but not desktops yet). Elsewhere in the DRM-Next highlights are support for both Small BAR and PCIe Resizable BAR (BAR = Base Address Register) for faster memory performance. Several fixes and low-level driver changes have also been implemented – all very welcome work to smooth the arrival of a new hardware release. Lastly, concerning this Linux driver news, Phoronix notes that more Arc Alchemist and Arctic Sound M device IDs have been added to the code. Intel Meteor Lake processors, the 14th Gen Core processor series, are noteworthy for advances on several fronts. First, these processors are expected to debut with a mix of Ocean Cove high-performance cores and efficiency cores built with EUV-enhanced Intel 4 process technology. Another major part of the “leading compute, AI, and graphics” proposition is an iGPU with between 96 and 192 EUs built on TSMC N3 technology. The aforementioned powerful CPU and GPU cores are wrapped up with an SoC featuring a memory controller, a PCIe controller, a Thunderbolt controller, and more, leveraging Intel’s Foveros 3D packaging technology. With all this new technology combined and finessed into a finished product, there is admittedly a lot that could go wrong and cause delays. However, with the exception of a few whispers to the contrary, Intel seems to be on track for its previously stated 2023 launch goal.

The global smartphone market may be tumbling, but the iPhone 13 continues to sell well, and Apple is expecting its upcoming iPhone 14 to do even better at launch. Apple's slightly higher expectations for the forthcoming iPhone 14 underscore a growing belief among Wall Street analysts that the Cupertino-based company's sales are likely to hold up better than the broader smartphone industry if major economies enter a recession. Apple, which reports its fiscal third quarter earnings on July 28, conveyed its expectations to suppliers in initial forecasts as it carries out trial production of the iPhone 14, sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. With Apple sitting at the higher end of the market, analysts believe that inflation in core items like food and fuel have taken a lesser toll on its relatively affluent user base. That comes as industry watchers such as Fubon Securities Investment Services chairman Charles Hsiao believe demand for consumer electronics will slow overall this year and next. An economic slowdown in China has already taken a huge bite out of the smartphone market, pulling global sales down 10 percent year over year to 96 million units in May, the most recent month for which full figures were available, according to Counterpoint Research. It's only the second time in nearly a decade that the monthly figure has slipped below 100 million handsets, the firm said. But two iPhone supply chain sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters that iPhone sales have continued to do well in July despite signs of cooling market demand for other smartphone makers. "Others are starting to take a hit,” one of the sources said. The second source said July shipments for the iPhone 13 from one factory were a third higher than July last year. That pattern was especially unusual because sales of current iPhone models tend to slow down in July and August as consumers await new models that Apple traditionally releases in September. “Judging by shipment, sales of iPhone 13 are fairly good," the second source said. The iPhone has continued to sell well late into its cycle in part because "China demand rebounded sharply after lockdowns ended and the iPhone was a beneficiary" of a June shopping holiday in China, Cowen analyst Krish Sankar wrote in a note to clients. In keeping with its annual schedule, Apple has started trial production of the iPhone 13's successor with the goal of ramping up mass production in August so the devices can start shipping in the fall. The initial shipment forecasts Apple has given suppliers is “slightly higher” than that of iPhone 13 a year ago, the second source said. “It's slightly higher than last year. It's good, but not explosively good," the second source said. For the just-ended fiscal third quarter, some Wall Street analysts are bracing for a slight decline in iPhone 13 shipments even if volumes are higher at some individual factories. But analysts still expect the iPhone to fare better than rivals. Cowen, for example, expects Apple handset shipments to be down about 1 percent for the just-ended quarter, while overall handset shipments could be down as much as 13 percent. The divergence between Apple and the Android market is rippling through Apple's supply chain. “For Samsung's display unit, a better-than-expected performance in Q2 is expected due to shipments for iPhones, which is the only smartphone with strong sales,” said Song Myung-sup, analyst at HI Investment & Securities. Cowen held steady its "outperform" rating on shares of chipmaker Skyworks Solutions, noting that it gets about 55 percent of its revenues from Apple for a radio chip in the iPhone. Skyworks rival Qorvo, by contrast, gets 30 percent of its revenue from Apple and has greater exposure to the Android phone market. Cowen downgraded Qorvo to "market perform." "Skyworks' greater relative exposure to Apple in its mobile business likely insulates the company in the near term from significant impacts associated with... downward demand revisions," Cowen analyst Matt Ramsay wrote in a note to clients. © Thomson Reuters 2022

Microsoft has confirmed that Microsoft 365 patches will end on January 10 2023 for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users as the company continues to push them towards Windows 11. For most people, support for Windows 7 - which launched in 2009 - ended in 2020. In recognition that many companies preferred to run Windows 7, Microsoft offered Extended Security Updates, a paid service that would continue to offer security patches for the dated OS. Early 2023 will see the end-of-life as security updates end for Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Microsoft 365 apps. “New installations of Microsoft 365 Apps will [also] be blocked on Windows 8.1 devices,” according to the company. Microsoft ends support for old products A recent survey(opens in new tab) found nearly 5% of all PCs surveyed were running Windows 7. Around 2% were running a version of Windows 8, while more than four in five had Windows 10 installed. Less than 1.5% were using Windows 11, however that was in April just a few months after general availability of the operating system. Part of the reason that business users are reluctant to upgrade to the latest OS could be that Windows has historically been subject to vulnerabilities, requiring frequent patches and updates. Ending support will inevitably push many users towards a newer version of Windows, but many companies will be left feeling unheard as they are forced away from a comfortable environment that works with their productivity needs. This news comes one month after the company killed off Internet Explorer after 26 years in service, as Microsoft continues to steer users towards the latest versions of its products by ending support for those of old.

Researchers from Simon Fraser University may have just released the photonic springs that accelerate the quantum internet. In a paper published in Nature(opens in new tab), the researchers demonstrated an emergent capacity in silicon qubits to produce a "photonic link" between each other. Furthermore, this same photonic capability may be easily integrated with the existing fiber optic infrastructure that already carries data across a reasonable (yet still insufficient) portion of society. That is bound to provide immense savings on deploying a quantum internet - and as we all know, the cost is (mostly) king. The authors' paper describes observations carried on particular types of qubits: "T-center" photon-spin qubits, a kind of qubit that takes advantage of a specific luminescent defect in silicon - more specifically, InGaAs (Indium gallium arsenide), also explored in CPU manufacturing technologies. Silicon qubits have already shown remarkable coherence times - which relate to how resistant qubits are to outside interferences that would cause them to collapse and lose their information in the process, becoming unusable for the workload at hand. And with more fantastic coherence times - and the comparative ease with which these "T center" qubits can be linked - comes the capability to perform more and more significant calculations. In their experiment, the researchers observed the effect in over 1,500 T Center qubits, ensuring they can replicate it - a healthy indicator for the potential scalability of their solution. "This work is the first measurement of single T centers in isolation, and actually, the first measurement of any single spin in silicon to be performed with only optical measurements," said Stephanie Simmons, Canada Research Chair in Silicon Quantum Technologies. "An emitter like the T center that combines high-performance spin qubits and optical photon generation is ideal to make scalable, distributed, quantum computers," she continued, "because they can handle the processing and the communications together, rather than needing to interface two different quantum technologies, one for processing and one for communications." Some qubit solutions in the market already use photonics to enable scaling between individual Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) - such as the diamond-based qubits from Quantum Brilliance. However, others don't naturally possess the ability to send information through photonics without coupling a complementary system. It, in turn, adds one more step in the quantum information chain, introducing variables in a technology that is erratic enough to any variations in its environment. The cost of pairing both technologies is also another factor to consider. "T Center" photon-spin qubits, on the other hand, already emerge from a light-based phenomenon. Furthermore, they emit light at the same wavelength today's fiber communications and telecom networking equipment use - while retaining a >99% fidelity. "With T centers, you can build quantum processors that inherently communicate with other processors," Simmons says. "When your silicon qubit can communicate by emitting photons (light) in the same band used in data centers and fiber networks, you get these same benefits for connecting the millions of qubits needed for quantum computing." There's another inherent advantage towards silicon-based qubits: manufacturability. The tech industry has been manufacturing silicon-based transistors for decades already, and we're now reaching the point where even silicon manufacturing has to consider quantum effects. As a result, the quantum and silicon industries could converge and bring benefits of scale - and importantly, cost - towards a sector expected to be worth a cool $4531.04 billion by 2030. "By finding a way to create quantum computing processors in silicon, you can take advantage of all of the years of development, knowledge, and infrastructure used to manufacture conventional computers, rather than creating a whole new industry for quantum manufacturing," Simmons concluded. "This represents an almost insurmountable competitive advantage in the international race for a quantum computer." And indeed, it may very well be.
