GPS: A backbone for critical infrastructure. [T-Minus: Space-Cyber Briefing]
Since its original creation in the 1970s, GPS has evolved from a technology primarily used by the military to a foundation for modern society. After the removal of selective availability for civilians in 2000, GPS’s value has significantly expanded. In the past two decades, nearly every critical infrastructure sector–telecommunications, transportation, energy, agriculture, emergency services, and financial services–relies on GPS constellations to ensure that timing and location accuracy are precise. Though many do not see its utility in day-to-day efforts, GPS has become entrenched in modern networks and services. Key sources: Removal of selective availability.

The skills pay the bills. [Research Saturday]
Today we are joined by Marco Giuliani, Vice President & Head of Research at ThreatDown, discussing their work on "GachiLoader adopts AI skill lure." Threat actors are now using fake AI agent “skills” as highly convincing social engineering lures, with a new campaign disguising the GachiLoader malware as a legitimate OpenClaw tool for automated Polymarket betting. Victims are tricked through fake installation guides and polished Electron apps into downloading malware that deploys the Rhadamanthys infostealer using fileless injection and blockchain-based command-and-control infrastructure. Researchers say the campaign marks an evolution in cybercrime, turning AI skill ecosystems into a new phishing-style attack surface.
