Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.
Welcome to the third installment in our series on transparency at the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). In this ongoing discussion, we talk about our commitment to providing comprehensive vulnerability information to our customers. At MSRC, our mission is to protect our customers, communities, and Microsoft, from current and emerging threats to security and privacy.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that an attacker send a malicious link to the victim via email, or that they convince the user to click the link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message. In the worst-case email attack scenario, an attacker could send a specially crafted email to the user without a requirement that the victim open, read, or click on the link. This could result in the attacker executing remote code on the victim's machine. When multiple attack vectors can be used, we assign a score based on the scenario with the higher risk (UI:N).
**According to the CVSS metrics, the attack vector is local (AV:L) and privilege required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker must have local access to the targeted machine and must be able to create folders and performance traces on the machine, with restricted privileges that normal users have by default.
**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially execute a cross-VM attack, thereby compromising multiple virtual machines and expanding the impact of the attack beyond the initially targeted VM.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker needs to physically connect a malicious USB device to the victim's machine.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker needs to physically connect a malicious USB device to the victim's machine.

As the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in the industry is becoming ubiquitous, the risks of using AI models are also increasing, with new unauthorized personas potentially accessing those models. AI models are now the new key for organizations requiring large investments in training and inferencing, which largely rely on accelerated computing (GPUs).When we talk about protecting those models in Kubernetes environments, we look at protecting data in rest (storage), data in transit (networking), and data in use. Our focus here will be on data in use by leveraging confidential com
