Researchers introduce FLASH, a pulsed-light attack that exploits temporal HDR fusion in modern cameras by creating cross-exposure inconsistencies, causing darkening and visibility loss across eight camera platforms including smartphones and automotive systems. The attack requires no physical access or knowledge of fusion algorithms and successfully triggers low-visibility responses and severe image degradation in real-world scenarios like autonomous driving systems.
OpenAI disclosed and disrupted an organized campaign to systematically extract protected reasoning content from its models, with activity first detected in early July.
