  • Pixnapping Android Flaw Lets Rogue Apps Steal 2FA Codes Without Permissions
    October 16, 2025, 12:12 AM EDT. Researchers have revealed Pixnapping, a novel Android side-channel that lets a rogue app covertly exfiltrate sensitive data - including 2FA codes, Google Maps timelines, and other app content - by stealing pixels from the device's UI without needing user permissions. Targeting Google and Samsung devices on Android 13-16, Pixnapping uses a pixel-stealing framework that injects victim pixels into the rendering pipeline via intents and overlays semi-transparent Activities. The technique leverages a GPU-based compression channel (GPU.zip) and the window blur API to leak rendering data and extract coordinates of high-value pixels. Crucially, any app could deploy the attack once a user has installed and launched it, even with no manifest permissions. The researchers warn this could bypass browser mitigations and affect non-browser apps like Authenticator.
  • Pixnapping: Pixel-stealing attack targets Android apps, 2FA data at risk
    October 16, 2025, 12:11 AM EDT. Researchers from UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UW, and Carnegie Mellon have demonstrated a pixel-stealing, side-channel vulnerability called Pixnapping that can leak tiny screen pixels from Android apps. By overlaying transparent windows and using timing signals, a malicious app could glimpse data from browsers and non-browser apps such as Google Maps, Signal, Venmo, Gmail, and even Google Authenticator 2FA codes. Tests on Google Pixel devices (6-9) and a Galaxy S25 showed successful data exfiltration; Google has patched part of the issue, with Samsung and others still working on a full fix as of Oct 2025. Attacks require deep Android internals knowledge, but the risk highlights the need for careful app installation and regular security updates.
  • Together AI kicks off substantial Nvidia chip purchases
    October 16, 2025, 12:09 AM EDT. Together AI has begun making its own substantial purchases of Nvidia chips, signaling a shift toward owning critical AI hardware rather than relying solely on third-party providers. The move strengthens its AI hardware strategy and could boost training and inference efficiency, while tying its fortunes more closely to Nvidia's GPU roadmap. For the broader AI startup ecosystem, the development highlights growing demand for Nvidia chips and may influence pricing, supply dynamics, and what investors expect from AI-focused hardware assets.
  • Moto Razr Ultra (2025) hits $999; foldable value, AI features, and hot deals
