Famous Hackers: The Story of Gary McKinnon.

Redazione RHC 01/07/2025

A few months after the attacks on the World Trade Center, a strange message appeared on a U.S. Army computer: “Your security system is shit” it read. “I am Alone. But I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels.” The Greatest Military Cyber Attack of All Time In fact, Gary McKinnon, single-handedly scanned thousands of U.S. government machines and discovered obvious security flaws in many of them. Solo broke into nearly a hundred PCs within the Army, Navy, Air Force, NASA, and the Department of Defense between February 2001 and March 2002. Solo navigated through them for months, copying files and

Pope warns: “AI is not the devil, but it can become one without ethics”

The head of the Catholic Churchhas expressed concern about the way today’s children and adolescents interact with digital technologies. In his viewthe abundance of information available through neural networks and other intelligent systems can seriously affect the mental and intellectual development of the younger generations. Pope Leo XIV has warned of the risks thatthe rapid development of artificial intelligence could pose to young people. He expressed his position at the Second Annual Rome Conference on AI, part of which is being held in the Vatican. At the same time, the Pontiff noted that artificial intelligence in itself does not pose a threat. It can be

Cryptography at Risk: MIT develops a Quantum Algorithm to crack RSA.

Tara Lie 27/08/2024

Modern encryption methods, such as RSA, are based on the fact that even the most powerful classical computers are not able to quickly decompose a large number into prime factors. However, quantum computers promise to considerably accelerate this process, thanks to an algorithm proposed by Peter Shor in 1994, which demonstrated that a quantum computer could break RSA encryption. Over the last 30 years, scientists have been actively developing quantum computers, but up until now they have not been able to create a powerful enough device to execute Shor’s algorithm. It requires a quantum computer with about 20 million qubits, while modern

Musk’s Supercomputer in Memphis is ready! 100,000 liquid-cooled Nvidia H1s.

Elon Musk, who simultaneously heads six innovative companies-Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, X (formerly known as Twitter), Neuralink, and xAI-is not stopping there. He recently announced that xAI has begun training its models on the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence cluster: the Memphis Supercluster, located in Memphis, Tennessee. According to the publication WREG , this supercomputer will represent the largest capital investment by a new market company in the city’s history. However, despite its ambitious plans, xAI does not yet have an agreement with the local energy company Tennessee Valley Authority, which is necessary to provide the project with electricity with a capacity of
