That would cover all Post-Open software used by the organization.

    Unearthing APT44: Russia’s Notorious Cyber Sabotage Unit Sandworm
  • My point being that they deem this serious enough to release publicly themselves instead of an internal memory, and that this is about an active threat actor rather than a mere vulnerability.

    APT44 is a threat actor that is actively engaged in the full spectrum of espionage, attack, and influence operations.

    Unearthing APT44: Russia’s Notorious Cyber Sabotage Unit Sandworm | Google Cloud Blog

    What's worrying about this report is that it's coming from Google itself.

    With Russia's full-scale invasion in its third year, Sandworm (aka FROZENBARENTS) remains a formidable threat to Ukraine. The group’s operations in support of Moscow’s war aims have proven tactically and operationally adaptable...

    ...Mandiant continues to see operations from the group that are global in scope in key political, military, and economic hotspots for Russia. Additionally, with a record number of people participating in national elections in 2024, Sandworm’s history of attempting to interfere in democratic processes further elevates the severity of the threat the group may pose in the near-term.

    Generative AI can turn your most precious memories into photos that never existed
    www.technologyreview.com Generative AI can turn your most precious memories into photos that never existed

    The Synthetic Memories project is helping families around the world reclaim a past that was never caught on camera.

    Generative AI can turn your most precious memories into photos that never existed

    Dozens of people have now had their memories turned into images in this way via Synthetic Memories, a project run by Domestic Data Streamers. The studio uses generative image models, such as OpenAI’s DALL-E, to bring people’s memories to life. Since 2022, the studio, which has received funding from the UN and Google, has been working with immigrant and refugee communities around the world to create images of scenes that have never been photographed, or to re-create photos that were lost when families left their previous homes.
