Amazon GuardDuty introduces a new threat detection that informs you when your EC2 instance credentials are used to invoke APIs from an IP address that is owned by a different AWS account than the one that the associated EC2 instance is running in. The new finding type is: UnauthorizedAccess:IAMUser/InstanceCredentialExfiltration.InsideAWS . While Amazon GuardDuty has always informed you when your EC2 instance credentials were used from outside of AWS , this new threat detection limits a malicious actor’s ability to evade detection by using the EC2 instance credentials from another AWS account.

Someone has invented a way to add Wi-Fi to a standard Arduino Uno, by proposing a module that drops into the DIL socket normally reserved for the ATmega328 – it will not work with Unos that have a surface-mount 328. The proposed 28pin DIL module includes a surface-mount ATmega328, plus an Espressif ESP8285 for the Wi-Fi …

It seems every major country or region wants a chip industry but not many can afford one. TSMC’s 2022 capex budget of $40 billion surprised everyone but it’s only a smidgeon bigger than Samsung’s $37.8 billion budget while Intel’s, backed by Uncle Sam, isn’t going to fall too far behind. These are not the sort …
