A study from UC San Francisco highlights concerns regarding the use of ChatGPT in Emergency Departments, finding that the AI often overprescribes unnecessary treatments, including x-rays and antibiotics, and may inappropriately suggest hospital admissions. Comparing ChatGPT's recommendations to those of resident physicians across 1,000 emergency visits, researchers found that ChatGPT-4 was 8% less accurate and ChatGPT-3.5 was 24% less accurate than human doctors. Lead author Chris Williams warns that while AI can assist with certain tasks, it lacks the critical clinical judgment needed in complex emergency situations, raising concerns about the potential harm from overprescribing and the need for improvements in AI frameworks for better evaluation of clinical information.

A 19-year-old honors student from Connecticut has been linked to a $243 million cryptocurrency theft, which led to a violent carjacking of his parents a week later. During the attack on August 25, 2024, the couple was rear-ended while driving a Lamborghini and subsequently assaulted by six suspects from Florida who believed they could extort cryptocurrency from them. The assailants, who were arrested shortly after the incident, reportedly targeted the couple under the impression that their son had access to significant digital assets. The theft, executed on August 19, involved advanced social engineering tactics, leading to severe financial and personal repercussions for the family.

Microsoft has raised concerns about the growing use of legitimate file hosting services like SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dropbox in cyber attack strategies, particularly in business email compromise (BEC) schemes. This technique, referred to as living-off-trusted-sites (LOTS), enables threat actors to mask malicious activities within trusted network traffic, complicating efforts to detect and trace these attacks. Recent observations indicate an uptick in phishing campaigns leveraging restricted access files shared through these platforms, often initiated by compromising trusted vendor users. Targeted individuals receive phishing emails with links requiring one-time password authentication, leading them to pages aimed at stealing credentials and two-factor authentication tokens.
