La Agencia de Seguridad de Infraestructura y Ciberseguridad de EE. UU. (CISA) ha agregado una nueva vulnerabilidad a su lista de Vulnerabilidades Explotadas Conocidas (KEV), alertando así a las agencias gubernamentales y otras empresas sobre explotación activa en la naturaleza.
La nueva incorporación es una vulnerabilidad de ejecución de código que se encuentra en NextGen Healthcare Mirth Connect. Tiene un seguimiento como CVE-2023-43208 y aún no se le ha asignado una clasificación de gravedad.
NextGen Healthcare Mirth Connect es un motor de integración de código abierto que se utiliza principalmente en TI de atención médica para intercambiar datos de atención médica entre diferentes sistemas. Permite la interoperabilidad entre diferentes aplicaciones de atención médica y permite la transferencia de datos segura y eficiente a través de protocolos y formatos estándar como HL7, DICOM y FHIR.
No hay detalles sobre el defecto.
Según se informa, esta vulnerabilidad se produjo como un efecto secundario del intento de la compañía de corregir una vulnerabilidad crítica anterior, que se rastrea como CVE-2023-37679. Esta vulnerabilidad, que tiene una puntuación de gravedad de 9,8, también se describió como ejecución remota de código de autenticación previa y se solucionó en agosto del año pasado.
Además de agregar la vulnerabilidad a la lista de KEV, CISA ha dicho muy poco sobre la falla. Por lo tanto, no sabemos quiénes son los creadores de la amenaza, cómo la explotan, quiénes son las víctimas ni cuántas son.
CISA ha dado a las agencias federales como fecha límite el 10 de junio para actualizar sus puntos finales y llevar Mirth Connect a la versión 4.1.1.
Debido a la sensibilidad de la información con la que trabajan, las organizaciones de atención médica son una de las más atacadas que existen. Hay varias formas en que los ciberdelincuentes pueden utilizarlo como arma. Informacion delicadaDesde venderlo en el mercado negro con fines de lucro, hasta extorsionar a las empresas víctimas.

Cuando las organizaciones de atención médica pierden datos en un ciberataque, pierden la confianza de sus pacientes, lo que en última instancia se traduce en pérdida de negocios. Por otro lado, los reguladores y responsables del tratamiento de datos pueden exigir importantes inversiones en medidas de ciberseguridad, así como multas por la pérdida de datos de los pacientes, lo que también se traduce en menores beneficios.
South Korean memory giant SK Hynix, which recently announced plans for the construction of the world’s largest chip factory, has now announced a major partnership with top Taiwanese semiconductor foundry, TSMC.
The two firms aim to cement their positions in the fast-growing AI market by developing and producing the next-generation of High Bandwidth Memory, known as HBM4.
The production, scheduled for 2026, will make use of TSMC’s state-of-the-art packaging technology. The project’s initial focus will be on the improvement of the performance of the base die, the element of HBM that connects directly to the GPU. SK Hynix will reportedly adopt TSMC’s advanced logic process for HBM4’s base die, allowing for extra functionality to be packed into a minimal space. The two firms intend to optimize the integration SK Hynix’s HBM and TSMC’s CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate) technology.
A strategic move for TSMC
“We expect a strong partnership with TSMC to help accelerate our efforts for open collaboration with our customers and develop the industry’s best-performing HBM4,” said Justin Kim, President and the Head of AI Infra, at SK Hynix. “With this cooperation in place, we will strengthen our market leadership as the total AI memory provider further by beefing up competitiveness in the space of the custom memory platform.”
Dr. Kevin Zhang, Senior Vice President of TSMC’s Business Development and Overseas Operations Office, and Deputy Co-Chief Operating Officer, agreed, stating, “TSMC and SK Hynix have already established a strong partnership over the years. We’ve worked together in integrating the most advanced logic and state-of-the art HBM in providing the world’s leading AI solutions. Looking ahead to the next-generation HBM4, we’re confident that we will continue to work closely in delivering the best-integrated solutions to unlock new AI innovations for our common customers.”
This collaboration is a strategic move for TSMC as much as it is for SK Hynix – if not more so – and demonstrates the firm’s potential in a role beyond foundry service provider. It’s hard to guess at the future, but should TSMC wish to continue its growth trajectory, it may need to consider expanding its strategic horizons even further, a move which could see it competing with some of its partners such as AMD or even rivals like Intel.
Competition is fierce in the semiconductor industry and moving up the value chain – leveraging its advanced technology to drive higher margins – is a risky move, but one that could potentially be hugely rewarding for the Taiwanese chip giant.

Intel’s Arrow Lake processors are inbound for desktop PCs and should land later this year, and we’ve just caught a leak about how these chips might be named.
This comes from one of the more regular leakers on X (formerly Twitter), and as ever, sprinkle a whole lot of seasoning on the claims.
The theory from leaker Raichu (via VideoCardz) is that the first launches for Arrow Lake will be the 285K, 265K, and 245K – which should be the equivalent of the Core i9, Core i7 and Core i5 CPUs from the current-gen range (Raptor Lake Refresh).
So, the initial Arrow Lake CPU names could run as follows:
Core Ultra 9 285K
Core Ultra 7 265K
Core Ultra 5 245K
After that, the non-K releases (meaning locked processors, ones that can’t be overclocked, unlike K chips) won’t use the same number – as has previously been the case, where the ‘K’ is simply dropped (14900K, 14900). These will be named entirely differently as the Core Ultra 275, 255, and 240 (VideoCardz theorizes those would be Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 5 models).
There’s a further suggestion that we could get a Core Ultra 9 290K later on, which would be the equivalent of the ‘KS’ limited edition chips (14900KS).
The battle of the next-gen CPUs begins to take shape
(Image credit: Future)
If this is what happens, are these new names confusing? Well, they’re bound to sow some bewilderment among buyers initially, no doubt. For desktop CPUs, this represents a big change from the typical 14900K, 14700K and so on that we’ve been used to for a long time now.

However, these names do make sense based on the naming scheme for Meteor Lake (laptop) CPUs, and it’s fully expected that Intel will shift over to its Core Ultra branding across all chips, not just those for laptops.
At any rate, while the names may change, and confusion may be rife for some, the underlying core specs shouldn’t. With next-gen Arrow Lake desktop processors, the top die should still run with 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, as is the case with Raptor Lake Refresh (and all recent generations).
As per another recent rumor, the other main die Intel will base Arrow Lake CPUs on has six performance cores plus eight efficiency cores – there’ll be a bunch of variants on both of these dies, as ever.
Arrow Lake seems to be in a bit of a strange place at the moment. Earlier leaks certainly suggested that these next-gen CPUs are going to be a massive performance leap for Intel – although that hype has died down somewhat (although it’s still far from extinguished).
What has surfaced more recently is doubts that Intel will get Arrow Lake out in a timely manner this year, with the prospect raised that these desktop CPUs may not hit the shelves until the very end of 2024.
Especially if Arrow Lake volume is wonky to begin with, as other speculation has indicated, and Zen 5 (Ryzen 9000) is more affordable. With all that considered, AMD could be in a prime position to threaten Intel’s places in our ranking of the best CPUs. Add your own skepticism here, naturally, but that’s the way things look to be shaping up now.
The glimmer of positivity here is that with the naming scheme being spilled, perhaps this is an indication that Intel’s Arrow Lake CPUs aren’t as far off as some leakers seem to believe. Be even more cautious around that prospect, but still – we need all the good vibes around Arrow Lake that we can get, frankly. The keener the competition between these next-gen desktop processor ranges, the better things should be for the consumer, ultimately.
Could Apple’s upcoming OLED iPad Pro sport an M4 chip? Photo: Apple/Cult of Mac
Apple’s upcoming OLED iPad Pro will reportedly begin the company’s shift into AI hardware. Apparently, the new tablets will sport the next-gen M4 chip to power all the AI features.
If this report is accurate, Apple will skip bringing its existing M3 SoC to its flagship tablet lineup.
2024 iPad Pro could skip the M3 chip for M4
Apple unveiled its 3nm-based M3 chip just a few months earlier, in October 2023. It introduced notable performance and efficiency improvements along with a faster and more efficient Neural Engine.
A recent report suggests the company has planned even bigger AI-focused upgrades for its next-gen M4 chip. The SoC would power many AI features Apple has planned for its upcoming Macs.
But Apple has typically announced a new M-series after 12-15 months. So, it would be an odd move for the company to unveil the M4 chip so soon.
As per Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter release, this will allow Apple to “position the tablet as its first truly AI-powered device.” Every new product the company releases after this will also highlight its AI capabilities. The upcoming iPhone 16’s A18 chip will also reportedly center around AI.
Apple is also expected to unveil a refreshed Apple Pencil, in addition to introducing a new iPad Pro, iPad Air, and a revamped Magic Keyboard. The company’s May 7th ‘Let Loose’ event invite does a good job of teasing the accessory already.
While the rumor mill has been relatively silent about the third-gen Apple Pencil features, Gurman says it will sport haptic feedback. If true, this would be the first time Apple’s stylus for the iPad has incorporated this technology. It would also help the Apple Pencil 3 stand out from other styluses on the market, as none offer any form of haptic feedback.
Last fall, Qualcomm revealed a major upgrade for its laptop chips with the And while we’re still waiting for those processors to make their way into retail devices, today Qualcomm is expanding the line with the Snapdragon X Plus, which I had a chance to test out ahead of its arrival on gadgets later this year.
Similar to the X Elite, the X Plus is based on the same 4nm process and Arm-based as its sibling. The difference is that the new chip is meant to be used in slightly more affordable mainstream laptops, and as such it only has 10 CPU cores (vs 12 for the X Elite) and reduced clock speeds (3.4Ghz vs 3.8Ghz for the X Elite). This positioning is a lot like what Qualcomm’s rivals have been doing for a while, with the X Elite serving as the flagship chip (like Intel’s Core Ultra 9 series) and the X Plus sitting just below that (which would be equivalent to the Core Ultra 7 line).
Qualcomm
However, one thing that hasn’t changed is that just like the X Elite, the X Plus’ Hexagon NPU puts out the same 45 TOPS of machine learning performance. This is particularly notable as Microsoft that laptops would require at least 40 TOPS in order to run various elements of its Copilot AI service on-device. Qualcomm is also making some big claims regarding power efficiency, with the X Plus chip said to deliver 37 percent faster CPU performance compared to an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H when both chips are running at the same wattage. And when put up against other Arm-based chips, Qualcomm says the X Plus is 10 percent faster than Apple’s M3 processor in multi-threaded CPU tasks.

Unfortunately, the X Plus is not expected to show up in retail devices until sometime in the second half of 2024. That said, at a hands-on event, I was able to run a few benchmarks on some early Qualcomm-built reference devices. And to my pleasant surprise, the X Plus performed as expected with multi-core scores in Geekbench of 12,905 and multi-thread performance in Cinebench 2024 of 852. (Note: Because the processor has not been released yet, there’s an error in Cinebench that results in the chip’s GPU incorrectly being listed as from the X Elite instead of the X Plus.)
This is a promising showing for Qualcomm’s second and less expensive chip featuring its Oryon architecture. Though as always, the real test will come when the X Plus starts showing up in proper retail hardware. That’s because even if it boasts impressive benchmark figures, these processors will still need to play nicely with Windows, which has not had nearly as smooth a transition to Arm-based silicon as Apple’s macOS.

But with renewed support for Windows on Snapdragon PCs and Qualcomm recently working with major players like Google to bring “” in Chrome for devices running its laptop chips, things may be smoother this time.
The OLED iPad Pro should ship with slimmer bezels. Photo: Cult of Mac
Apple’s new iPad Pro could launch in early May with updated internals and a refreshed design. All rumors surrounding Apple’s next premium tablet indicate it will feature OLED displays.
The first iPadOS 17.5 beta seems to confirm this, as it contains four new display firmware for unreleased iPad models.
iPadOS 17.5 beta contains new display firmware for unreleased iPads
9to5Mac did some code digging in the recently released iPadOS 17.5 beta and found multiple references to unreleased iPads. Additionally, they found four new display firmware for iPad16,3, iPad16,4, iPad16,5, and iPad16,6. Apparently, these four models are the upcoming iPad Pro, separated by cellular and Wi-Fi options.
Based on the references, the report says Apple’s 2024 iPad Pro lineup will use OLED displays, with different suppliers for the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models.
Apple seemingly had to delay the launch of its new iPad Pro lineup due to the complex OLED panels. The tablets are now apparently scheduled for launch in the second week of May. Apple will soon start shipping marketing materials to its retail stores to prepare for the new iPad’s launch.
The 2024 iPad Pro’s OLED panels should provide higher brightness levels with better colors, contrast, and clarity.
12.9-inch iPad Air might also launch soon
Apple should also unveil a new 12.9-inch iPad Air alongside the OLED iPad Pro. Rumors suggest the OLED iPad Pros will cost significantly more than their predecessors, so a 12.9-inch Air should fill the gap caused by the price hike.
In addition to the new iPad Pro, Apple is working on a refresh for the iPad mini and low-cost iPad. The two models could launch towards the end of the year and sport minor internal spec bumps.
One of Intel’s Lunar Lake processors, which are very promising power-efficient next-gen chips for laptops, has just been spotted and it’s seemingly part of the Core Ultra 200 family.
This comes courtesy of a leak on X (formerly Twitter), highlighted by VideoCardz and posted by @miktdt (a leaker who has popped up a couple of times recently).
Intel Corporation Lunar Lake Client Platform/LNL-M LP5Detected 3100.000 MHz processorIntel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 234V 2.10GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0xbd, stepping: 0x1)cores per package: 8threads per package: 8https://t.co/eDZ71yTO2oApril 4, 2024

As you can see, the CPU is called the Intel Core Ultra 5 234V, as posted on 01.org, which is Team Blue’s Open Source Technology Center – so the info should be correct (you’d hope, anyway).
The processor is confirmed to have 8 cores, and as previously rumored, this breaks down into 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. We can safely ignore the clock speed of 2.1GHz as this is silicon still in testing.
V for victory?
What’s interesting here is the fact that the Lunar Lake processor is a Core Ultra part with a ‘V’ suffix. It’ll run alongside Arrow Lake mobile H and HX chips – high-end silicon – with Lunar Lake covering the lower-end and majoring in being seriously efficient. The idea is that it’ll be perfect for premium thin-and-light laptops.
All of these will be Core Ultra 200 CPUs, with the Ultra denoting they are using the newest Intel architecture, whereas there will also be Raptor Lake Refresh H laptop processors that’ll be part of the Core 200 range as well (but not labeled ‘Ultra’ as these are the last-gen architecture).
Yes, the naming scheme is a little confusing, but what do you expect from Intel? It’s par for the course, and we’ve seen more convoluted naming in the tech world to be fair.

Core 200 CPUs will follow up the current Core 100 range, which consists of Meteor Lake – both high-end (H) and low-end (U) processors – running alongside some Raptor Lake Refresh chips.
Some previous rumors suggested that with the next-gen laptop products from Intel, we might also see Arrow Lake-U CPUs to sit underneath Lunar Lake, for a more wallet-friendly alternative in cheaper notebooks – and maybe that’s still the case. However, VideoCardz makes no mention of such chips here. As ever, we’ll see how things pan out.

When Samsung listed the European prices for its new 2024 range of OLED and QLED TVs, we were a bit disappointed to report that a number of models were getting price hikes. As we wrote last month, there were “major jumps in some cases, well above Eurozone inflation rates”.
We also noted that some of the pressures on prices, such as materials costs, shipping costs and tech costs, were global rather than limited to the EU. So we’re not entirely surprised to see that there are some price rises in the US too to what will be the best Samsung TVs.
The new Samsung S90D costs $100 over the Samsung S90C; the Samsung QN90D is $380 more than the Samsung QN90C; and at the highest end, the 8K QN900D is a whopping $1,000 more than the Samsung QN900C. These are the official prices for the US models in Samsung’s 2024 TV range are as follows:
To sweeten the deal, Samsung is currently offering a deal where if you pre-order a 2024 Samsung TV you can get a 65-inch TU690T for free. And there’s another deal giving you a $50 Samsung.com credit if you pre-order the Music Frame. Both offers are valid through April 11 at Samsung and at participating retailers.
