Authentication Coercion: How Windows Machines Are Tricked into Leaking Credentials

GBHackers on Security | #1 Globally Trusted Cyber Security News Platform

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a growing trend in Windows-targeted attacks that exploit fundamental operating system features to force machines into surrendering valuable credentials without requiring user interaction or system vulnerabilities. Known as authentication coercion, this attack method manipulates legitimate Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocols to trick computers into authenticating to attacker-controlled systems, potentially compromising entire […]

掌握多种语言可能有助于减缓衰老

根据发表在《Nature Aging》期刊上的一项研究，研究人员发现使用多种语言与显著延缓的衰老过程相关。在这项大规模研究中，研究人员分析了来自 27 个欧洲国家的 86,149 名健康参与者的数据。为更精确衡量衰老速度，研究团队开发了一种名为“生物行为年龄差”的新指标。这个指标综合了个体的功能能力、教育水平、认知表现等积极因素，以及心脏病、高血压、感官损伤等消极因素，来预测一个人的生物行为年龄。当这个预测年龄超过其实际年龄时，就意味着他正在加速衰老，反之则说明衰老延缓。研究结果显示，仅会说母语的单语者，其经历加速衰老的概率是多语者的 2.11 倍。掌握至少一门外语的人，经历加速衰老的概率降低了超过一半。这种保护效应还呈现出“剂量依赖性”，即掌握的外语越多，其经历加速衰老的可能性就越低。研究人员推测，这种保护效应源于多语能力对大脑“认知储备”的不断锻炼。当一个人掌握多门语言时，即使只使用其中一种，其他语言也始终处于活跃状态。大脑需要持续地进行抑制和切换，这极大地锻炼了执行功能、注意力和记忆力等高级认知能力。这些被频繁调用的脑网络，恰恰是那些在衰老过程中最容易退化的区域。因此，长期使用多种语言，就像是给大脑进行持续的“健身”，增强了其抵抗因为年龄增加而衰退的能力。
