Incredible work by the Google security team. This message has so many hallmarks of being a phishing message, and even some of spear-phishing:
- Presented with urgency (made worse by Apple "Intelligence")
- Links go through a domain you'd never interact with (c.gle, their click tracker)
- Sent to my email without addressing me by name
- Presenting ominous information with no detail, asking you to interact for more detail
- Unsolicited
- Blurry, @1x logo, not sharp like an SVG or @2x image would have been
- Targeting a high value target (Admin of a corporate workspace)
- Plus, some minor formatting issues on a narrow screen make it seem just a touch dodgy
Stellar work guys

AttestLLM: Efficient Attestation Framework for Billion-scale On-device LLMs
As on-device LLMs(e.g., Apple on-device Intelligence) are widely adopted to reduce network dependency, improve privacy, and enhance responsiveness, verifying the legitimacy of models running on local devices becomes critical. Existing attestation techniques are not suitable for billion-parameter Large Language Models (LLMs), struggling to remain both time- and memory-efficient while addressing emerging threats in the LLM era. In this paper, we present AttestLLM, the first-of-its-kind attestatio…

The Intercepted Self: How Generative AI Challenges the Dynamics of the Relational Self
Generative AI is changing our way of interacting with technology, others, and ourselves. Systems such as Microsoft copilot, Gemini and the expected Apple intelligence still awaits our prompt for action. Yet, it is likely that AI assistant systems will only become better at predicting our behaviour and acting on our behalf. Imagine new generations of generative and predictive AI deciding what you might like best at a new restaurant, picking an outfit that increases your chances on your date with…
