Japan to set up dedicated white hacker team to counter AI-based cyberattacks

Japan will set up a specialised white hacker team in November to respond to AI-based cyberattacks, aiming to find and fix vulnerabilities from a hacker’s perspective. The unit will be installed at the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA) under the jurisdiction of the economy ministry and others, and will carry out AI-backed penetration testing. The government has also warned industry groups about a major PHP vulnerability and plans steps to bolster small business security.

Theori releases response plan for Node.js flaw for sites unable to patch immediately

AI-based offensive cybersecurity company Theori said it has reproduced and verified a critical flaw found in the Node.js runtime and released an emergency response guide for companies and institutions. The vulnerability, dubbed Node2Shell, stems from an out-of-bounds write defect in a Brotli decoder module, enabling denial-of-service, memory exposure and remote code execution without authentication. Theori also suggested temporary mitigations and opened a free online diagnostic service at nodejsguard.io.

Idemia partners with KT to support 2026 quantum-resistant cryptography pilot transition project

Idemia Secure Transactions said on Oct. 26 it will support a 2026 pilot transition project on quantum-resistant cryptography in which KT is participating. Under the project, Idemia will implement U.S. NIST-standardised and Korean quantum-resistant cryptography algorithms on a smart card platform applying quantum-resistant SIMs. It said the work will help protect defence communications systems by preparing for threats that could emerge as quantum computing advances.
