At least 78 FRN/M23 fighters were neutralized during the month of October 2026 in the territories of Lubero, Masisi, Walikale and Kalehe, North Kivu and South Kivu.

Among them, 58 voluntarily surrendered to the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and Wazalendo groups, according to the communication officer of the 34th military region, Major Dieudonné Kasereka.


He also reports that 20 others were captured during military operations.


The military officer said on Monday, November 2, that these surrenders come in a context of continuing clashes between the rebels and the Congolese army.


According to him, several fighters who have defected claim to have been forcibly recruited in Goma, Bukavu and other cities. These fighters say that some of them received only basic training before being deployed to the front.


These conditions of recruitment and deployment would have pushed them to abandon the ranks of the movement to join the FARDC, according to the explanations of the communication officer of the 34th military region.


The 58 fighters who surrendered are currently being taken care of, pending the decisions of the military hierarchy, said Major Dieudonné Kasereka.

A new way for cybercriminals to create fake social media profiles and carry identity scams using Artificial Intelligence powered tool? A couple of months ago  it was reported that  NVIDIA has developed a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to create extremely realistic human faces which in reality do not exist. Now, there is a website that is currently receiving a lot of attention online due to a similar function. Apparently, the website can recreate realistic fstent people by just hitting the Refresh button. Designed by a software engineer Philip Wang, who works at Uber, the website can generate fake but realistic looking human faces of people who don’t actually exist, using artificial intelligence. The website is hosted at  ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com . Wang used the research from NVIDIA’s algorithm StyleGAN to produce an infinite stream of fake portraits because the algorithm that he has used can generate a plethora of real images and use the generative ...

Attacking the Qualcomm's GPU

-
 - When writing an Android exploit, breaking out of the application sandbox is often a key step. There are a wide range of remote attacks that give you code execution with the privileges of an application (like the browser or a messaging application), but a sandbox escape is still required to gain full system access. This blog post focuses on an interesting attack surface that is accessible from the Android application sandbox: the graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware. We describe an unusual vulnerability in Qualcomm's Adreno GPU, and how it could be used to achieve kernel code execution from within the Android application sandbox. This research was built upon the work by Guang Gong (@oldfresher ), who reported CVE-2019-10567 in August 2019. One year later, in early August 2020, Guang Gong released an excellent whitepaper describing CVE-2019-10567, and some other vulnerabilities that allowed full system compromise by a remote attacker. However in June 2020, I noticed that the pa...

Major General Ori Gordin, head of Israel's Northern Command, was reportedly killed today in a rocket strike believed to have been carried out by Iran, according to unconfirmed Israeli sources. Gordin, a veteran commander responsible for defense along the borders with Lebanon and Syria, played a central role in recent operations in the north. According to some accounts, Gordin stated today that "the threats from Iran's proxies in the north will be met with an overwhelming Israeli force." Explosions struck a military post in the north shortly afterward. The area is cordoned off; the government remains silent, but media outlets are reporting Gordin's death. An escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran is looming.
