A new research report has debunked five “false assumptions” that people have about social engineering which are integral to why so many fall victim to these forms of cyberattack.

Secureworks Counter Threat Unit (CTU) researchers have identified indexes of multiple unsecured internet-facing Elasticsearch databases replaced with a ransom note. The note demands a Bitcoin payment in exchange for the data.

ESET researchers have analysed three malicious Android applications targeting customers of eight Malaysian banks.

The formation of a global partnership to ensure legal protections for good faith (bona fide) zero day researchers has been enacted by the Paris-based not-for-profit Cybersecurity Advisor Network (CyAN), with such research illegal in some jurisdictions, putting modern life at serious risk. We speak to Peter Coroneos, CyAN VP, to find out more.

An international group of researchers including researchers from Monash University has successfully applied AI technology to real-world retinal imagery to detect possible diseases more accurately and on a larger scale.

Researchers at Western Australia’s Curtin University have helped to determine the age of the youngest rocks ever found on the Moon, as part of a global space mission that is working to refine the chronology of the entire Solar System.

The Australian Centre for Field Robotics has announced the appointment of Professor Ian Manchester as its new director.

RMIT is set to become the first Australian university to implement a dedicated cloud supercomputing facility on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to drive digital innovation in research and education at scale.

Monash University and the Provincial Government of West Java, Indonesia have signed a Letter of Intent to collaborate on developing new solutions to restore the Citarum River – one of the most polluted rivers in the world.

RMIT University and St Vincent’s Hosital Melbourne have collaborated on the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) program for early detection of prostate cancer.

Melbourne biosciences company Esfam Biotech says it is on track to commence human trials for a COVID-19 treatment by the end of 2021.

Curtin University researchers have helped uncover the four billion year old story of a lunar sample brought from the moon to earth, by the manned Apollo 17 mission more than 50 years ago.

A serious vulnerability in SAP Solution Manager would allow an attacker can authenticate to vulnerable systems by simply trying to connect, a local researcher has warned, adding that a proof-of-concept exploit is circulating.

A team of researchers at Monash University and The Alfred Hospital’s Department of Infectious Diseases have been awarded $3.4 million from the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) for the SuperbugAi Flagship project.

Australia’s peak body for science and technology, Science & Technolgy Australia (STA), fears the permanent loss of talent from the country’s research system and has called on the Federal Government to staunch the "hemorrhaging" of talent in the wake of thousands more job cuts just announced by universitities.

La Trobe University researchers are embarking on ways to improve community health and wellbeing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, using targeted grants from La Trobe, Medibank and Optus.

UNSW Sydney researchers have secured more than $4.9 million in Australian Research Council (ARC) funding for development of the ARC Training Centre for The Global Hydrogen Economy.

Monash University researchers have developed an energy exchange framework to better manage distributed energy resources, and which they say will help consumers lower their power costs.

Researchers at the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science (ACEx) say they will soon have a much cheaper way of stabilising, blocking and steering light – potentially lowering the costs of high-tech equipment used in telecommunications, medical diagnostics and consumer electronics.

A claimed “world first” cutting-edge robotics research project at the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision to create bespoke, miniaturised surgical robots, is the brainchild of a young researcher, Andrew Razjigaev.
