Researchers find numerous Apple AirPlay vulnerabilities allowing "wormable" exploits over Wi-Fi

Apple already issued patches, so be sure to update your systems immediately
In brief: Security researchers have uncovered a wide-ranging set of vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol that could allow attackers to hijack Apple and third-party devices remotely without user interaction. The exploit chain, dubbed "AirBorne," includes 23 individual bugs – 17 with official CVEs – and enables zero-click remote code execution on vulnerable systems.

World's first transparent 5G antennas turn windows into base stations

Stealthy antennas hiding in plain sight
In brief: It's been over five years since 5G started its worldwide rollout, bringing low-latency super-speed internet to hundreds of millions. But building out those 5G networks has been a challenge. The higher frequency signals don't travel as far, so more base stations are required compared to 4G. With prime real estate in limited supply, Japanese telecoms had to get creative.
