In tests involving a computer server rack in a metal enclosure placed underwater, a 5KHz audible tone was found to disrupt computer drive operations from more than 6 meters away. University of Florida's Sara Rampazzi explained, "If it is just a denial-of-service attack, that can take a few seconds, depending on the power of the acoustic signal.

EasyRide lets users swipe one way on their smartphone to start their journey and swipe the other way when they reach their destination. The app transmits location data to an SBB server during the trip to calculate the passenger's route and bill them for the fare. Researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich were able to trick the app by manipulating the smartphone's location data.<br /><br />From "Researchers Outsmart EasyRide Function on Swiss Travel App"<br />ETH Zurich (Switzerland) (05/15/24) Fabio Bergamin<br /> <a href="https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2024/05/researchers-outsmarted-easyride-function-on-swiss-travel-app.html" target="_blank" >View Full Article</a> ]]></description> <link><![CDATA[https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2024/05/researchers-outsmarted-easyride-function-on-swiss-travel-app.html]]></link> <guid><![CDATA[https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2024/05/researchers-outsmarted-easyride-function-on-swiss-travel-app.html]]></guid> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[States Turn to AI to Spot Guns at Schools]]></title> <description><![CDATA[Associated Press<br /><br />Several states have introduced legislation to create grant programs for schools to support the installation and use of AI surveillance systems able to detect individuals carrying guns. Pending legislation in Kansas has raised eyebrows because it requires the AI software to be patented and in use in at least 30 states, among other criteria, and only ZeroEyes, the same company that touted the criteria to lawmakers, meets all the mandated specifications.
