* Banks at Risk: Nearly 100 Staff Logins Stolen by Cybercriminals* 'AirBorne' Vulnerabilities Expose Apple Devices to Remote Code Execution Attacks* WhatsApp Introduces 'Private Processing' for Secure Cloud-Based AI Features* Microsoft Warns Default Kubernetes Helm Charts Create Security Vulnerabilities* Security Concerns Grow Over Electric Vehicles as Potential Surveillance PlatformsBanks at Risk: Nearly 100 Staff Logins Stolen by Cybercriminalshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-01/bank-employee-data-stolen-with-malware-and-sold-online/105232872Cyber criminals have stolen almost 100 staff logins from Australia's "Big Four" banks, potentially exposing these financial institutions to serious cyber threats including data theft and ransomware attacks, according to recent findings from cyber intelligence firm Hudson Rock.The compromised credentials belong to current and former employees and contractors at ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, and Westpac, with ANZ and Commonwealth Bank experiencing the highest number of breaches. All stolen credentials included corporate email addresses with access to official bank domains."There are around 100 compromised employees that are related to those four banks," said Hudson Rock analyst Leonid Rozenberg. While this number is significantly smaller than the 31,000 customer banking passwords recently reported stolen, the security implications could be more severe."Technically, [attackers] need only one [login] to do a lot of damage," Rozenberg warned.The credentials were stolen between 2021 and April 2025 using specialized "infostealer" malware designed to harvest sensitive data from infected devices. These stolen credentials have subsequently appeared on Telegram and dark web marketplaces.Security experts explain that these breaches could potentially give hackers "initial access" to the banks' corporate networks. While banks employ additional security measures such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), specialized cybercriminals known as "initial access brokers" focus on finding ways around these protections, often targeting employees working from home.The investigation also uncovered a concerning number of compromised third-party service credentials connected to these banks, with ANZ having more than 100 such breaches and NAB more than 70. These compromised services could include critical communication and project management tools like Slack, JIRA, and Salesforce.All four banks have responded by stating they have multiple safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized access. NAB reports actively scanning cybercrime forums to monitor threats, while CommBank noted investing over $800 million in cybersecurity and financial crime prevention last financial year.The Australian Signals Directorate has already warned that infostealer infections have led to successful attacks on Australian businesses, highlighting that this threat extends beyond the banking sector to organizations across all industries.'AirBorne' Vulnerabilities Expose Apple Devices to Remote Code Execution Attackshttps://www.oligo.security/blog/airborneSecurity researchers at Oligo Security have uncovered a serious set of vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol and software development kit (SDK) that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on affected devices without user interaction. These flaws, collectively dubbed "AirBorne," affect millions of Apple and third-party devices worldwide.The security team discovered 23 distinct vulnerabilities that enable various attack vectors, including zero-click and one-click remote code execution, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Perhaps most concerning are two specific flaws (CVE-2025-24252 and CVE-2025-24132) that researchers demonstrated could create "wormable" zero-click attacks, potentially spreading from device to device across networks.Another critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-24206) enables attackers to bypass the "Accept" prompt normally required for AirPlay connections, creating a pathway for truly zero-interaction compromises when combined with other flaws."This means that an attacker can take over certain AirPlay-enabled devices and do things like deploy malware that spreads to devices on any local network the infected device connects to," warned Oligo. "This could lead to the delivery of other sophisticated attacks related to espionage, ransomware, supply-chain attacks, and more."While exploitation is limited to attackers on the same network as vulnerable devices, the potential impact is extensive. Apple reports over 2.35 billion active devices worldwide, and Oligo estimates tens of millions of additional third-party AirPlay-compatible products like speakers, TVs, and car infotainment systems could be affected.Apple released security updates on March 31 to address these vulnerabilities across their product line, including patches for iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, macOS versions (Ventura 13.7.5, Sonoma 14.7.5, and Sequoia 15.4), and visionOS 2.4 for Apple Vision Pro. The company also updated the AirPlay audio and video SDKs and the CarPlay Communication Plug-in.Security experts strongly advise all users to immediately update their Apple devices and any third-party AirPlay-enabled products. Additional protective measures include disabling AirPlay receivers when not in use, restricting AirPlay access to trusted devices via firewall rules, and limiting AirPlay permissions to the current user only.WhatsApp Introduces 'Private Processing' for Secure Cloud-Based AI Featureshttps://engineering.fb.com/2025/04/29/security/whatsapp-private-processing-ai-tools/Meta's WhatsApp has announced a new privacy-focused technology called 'Private Processing' that will allow users to access advanced artificial intelligence features while maintaining data security. The system is designed to enable AI functionalities like message summarization and writing suggestions that are too computationally intensive to run directly on users' devices.The new feature, which will be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks, will be entirely opt-in and disabled by default, giving users complete control over when their data leaves their device for AI processing.Private Processing employs several layers of security to protect user privacy. When activated, the system first performs anonymous authentication through the user's WhatsApp client. It then retrieves public encryption keys from a third-party content delivery network (CDN), ensuring Meta cannot trace requests back to specific individuals.To further enhance privacy, users' devices connect to Meta's gateway through a third-party relay that masks their real IP addresses. The connection establishes a secure session between the user's device and Meta's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), using remote attestation and TLS protocols.All requests for AI processing use end-to-end encryption with ephemeral keys, and the processing occurs inside a Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) that remains isolated from Meta's main systems. According to Meta, the processing environment is stateless, with all messages deleted after processing, retaining only "non-sensitive" logs."The AI-generated response is encrypted with a unique key only known to the device and processing CVM and is sent back over the secure session for decryption on the user's device," the company explained.To build trust in the system, WhatsApp has promised to share the CVM binary and portions of the source code for external validation. The company also plans to publish a detailed white paper explaining the secure design principles behind Private Processing.Despite these security measures, privacy experts note that sending sensitive data to cloud servers always carries some inherent risk, even with robust encryption in place. Users concerned about data privacy can either keep the feature disabled or utilize WhatsApp's recently launched 'Advanced Chat Privacy' feature, which provides more granular control over when data can leave the device.Microsoft Warns Default Kubernetes Helm Charts Create Security Vulnerabilitieshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftdefendercloudblog/the-risk-of-default-configuration-how-out-of-the-box-helm-charts-can-breach-your/4409560Microsoft security researchers have issued an urgent warning about significant security risks posed by default configurations in Kubernetes deployments, particularly when using out-of-the-box Helm charts. These configurations can inadvertently expose sensitive data to the public internet without proper authentication protections.According to a new report from Michael Katchinskiy and Yossi Weizman of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Research, many popular Helm charts lack basic security measures, often leaving exploitable ports open and implementing weak or hardcoded passwords that are easy to compromise."Default configurations that lack proper security controls create a severe security threat," the Microsoft researchers warn. "Without carefully reviewing the YAML manifests and Helm charts, organizations may unknowingly deploy services lacking any form of protection, leaving them fully exposed to attackers."Kubernetes has become a widely adopted open-source platform for automating containerized application deployment and management, with Helm serving as its package manager. Helm charts function as templates or blueprints that define resources needed to run applications through YAML files. While these charts offer convenience by simplifying complex deployments, their default settings often prioritize ease of use over security.The report highlights three specific examples demonstrating this widespread issue. Apache Pinot's Helm chart exposes core services through Kubernetes LoadBalancer services with no authentication requirements. Meshery allows public sign-up from exposed IP addresses, potentially giving anyone registration access to cluster operations. Meanwhile, Selenium Grid exposes services across all nodes in a cluster through NodePort, relying solely on external firewall rules for protection.The Selenium Grid vulnerability is particularly concerning as cybersecurity firms including Wiz have already observed attacks targeting misconfigured instances to deploy XMRig miners for cryptocurrency mining.Organizations using Kubernetes are advised to implement several key mitigation strategies. Microsoft recommends thoroughly reviewing default configurations of Helm charts before deployment, ensuring they include proper authentication mechanisms and network isolation. Regular scans for misconfigurations that might publicly expose workload interfaces are crucial, as is continuous monitoring of containers for suspicious activity.The findings underscore a critical tension in cloud deployment between convenience and security, with many users — particularly those inexperienced with cloud security — inadvertently creating vulnerabilities by deploying charts without customizing their security settings.Security Concerns Grow Over Electric Vehicles as Potential Surveillance Platformshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/29/source-of-data-are-electric-cars-vulnerable-to-cyber-spies-and-hackersCybersecurity experts are raising alarms about the potential for electric vehicles to be exploited as surveillance tools, particularly those manufactured in China, according to recent reports from the UK.British defense firms working with the UK government have reportedly warned staff against connecting their phones to Chinese-made electric cars due to concerns that Beijing could extract sensitive information from their devices. The warning highlights growing security considerations around the increasingly sophisticated technology embedded in modern electric vehicles.Security specialists interviewed by The Guardian note that electric vehicles are equipped with multiple data collection points, including microphones, cameras, and wireless connectivity features that could potentially be leveraged by malicious actors or hostile states."There are lots of opportunities to collect data and therefore lots of opportunities to compromise a vehicle like that," explains Rafe Pilling, director of threat intelligence at cybersecurity firm Secureworks. He points out that over-the-air update capabilities, which allow manufacturers to remotely update a car's operating software, could potentially be used to exfiltrate data.The concerns are particularly focused on individuals in sensitive positions. "If you are an engineer who is working on a sixth-generation fighter jet and you have a work phone that you are connecting to your personal vehicle, you need to be aware that by connecting these devices you could be allowing access to data on your mobile," warns Joseph Jarnecki, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers such as BYD and XPeng have drawn particular scrutiny due to China's National Intelligence Law of 2017, which requires organizations and citizens to cooperate with national intelligence efforts. However, experts also note there is currently no public evidence of Chinese vehicles being used for espionage.Cybersecurity professionals suggest that concerned drivers can click "don't trust" when connecting devices to their vehicles, but this sacrifices many convenient features. They also caution against syncing personal devices with rental cars, as this can leave sensitive data in the vehicle's systems.The UK government has acknowledged the issue, with Defence Minister Lord Coaker stating they are "working with other government departments to understand and mitigate any potential threats to national security from vehicles." He emphasized that their work applies to all types of vehicles, not just those manufactured in China.While the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) maintains that all manufacturers selling cars in the UK must adhere to data privacy regulations, the growing integration of connected technologies in electric vehicles continues to raise new security considerations for both government officials and everyday consumers alike.

Aravind was a Staff Software Engineer at Uber, and currently works at OpenAI.Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google PodcastsEdited TranscriptCan you tell us about the scale of data Uber was dealing with when you joined in 2018, and how it evolved?When I joined Uber in mid-2018, we were handling a few petabytes of data. The company was going through a significant scaling journey, both in terms of launching in new cities and the corresponding increase in data volume. By the time I left, our data had grown to over an exabyte. To put it in perspective, the amount of data grew by a factor of about 20 in just a three to four-year period.Currently, Uber ingests roughly a petabyte of data daily. This includes some replication, but it's still an enormous amount. About 60-70% of this is raw data, coming directly from online systems or message buses. The rest is derived data sets and model data sets built on top of the raw data.That's an incredible amount of data. What kinds of insights and decisions does this enable for Uber?This scale of data enables a wide range of complex analytics and data-driven decisions. For instance, we can analyze how many concurrent trips we're handling throughout the year globally. This is crucial for determining how many workers and CPUs we need running at any given time to serve trips worldwide.We can also identify trends like the fastest growing cities or seasonal patterns in traffic. The vast amount of historical data allows us to make more accurate predictions and spot long-term trends that might not be visible in shorter time frames.Another key use is identifying anomalous user patterns. For example, we can detect potentially fraudulent activities like a single user account logging in from multiple locations across the globe. We can also analyze user behavior patterns, such as which cities have higher rates of trip cancellations compared to completed trips.These insights don't just inform day-to-day operations; they can lead to key product decisions. For instance, by plotting heat maps of trip coordinates over a year, we could see overlapping patterns that eventually led to the concept of Uber Pool.How does Uber manage real-time versus batch data processing, and what are the trade-offs?We use both offline (batch) and online (real-time) data processing systems, each optimized for different use cases. For real-time analytics, we use tools like Apache Pinot. These systems are optimized for low latency and quick response times, which is crucial for certain applications.For example, our restaurant manager system uses Pinot to provide near-real-time insights. Data flows from the serving stack to Kafka, then to Pinot, where it can be queried quickly. This allows for rapid decision-making based on very recent data.On the other hand, our offline flow uses the Hadoop stack for batch processing. This is where we store and process the bulk of our historical data. It's optimized for throughput – processing large amounts of data over time.The trade-off is that real-time systems are generally 10 to 100 times more expensive than batch systems. They require careful tuning of indexes and partitioning to work efficiently. However, they enable us to answer queries in milliseconds or seconds, whereas batch jobs might take minutes or hours.The choice between batch and real-time depends on the specific use case. We always ask ourselves: Does this really need to be real-time, or can it be done in batch? The answer to this question goes a long way in deciding which approach to use and in building maintainable systems.What challenges come with maintaining such large-scale data systems, especially as they mature?As data systems mature, we face a range of challenges beyond just handling the growing volume of data. One major challenge is the need for additional tools and systems to manage the complexity.For instance, we needed to build tools for data discovery. When you have thousands of tables and hundreds of users, you need a way for people to find the right data for their needs. We built a tool called Data Book at Uber to solve this problem.Governance and compliance are also huge challenges. When you're dealing with sensitive customer data, you need robust systems to enforce data retention policies and handle data deletion requests. This is particularly challenging in a distributed system where data might be replicated across multiple tables and derived data sets.We built an in-house lineage system to track which workloads derive from what data. This is crucial for tasks like deleting specific data across the entire system. It's not just about deleting from one table – you need to track down and update all derived data sets as well.Data deletion itself is a complex process. Because most files in the batch world are kept immutable for efficiency, deleting data often means rewriting entire files. We have to batch these operations and perform them carefully to maintain system performance.Cost optimization is an ongoing challenge. We're constantly looking for ways to make our systems more efficient, whether that's by optimizing our storage formats, improving our query performance, or finding better ways to manage our compute resources.How do you see the future of data infrastructure evolving, especially with recent AI advancements?The rise of AI and particularly generative AI is opening up new dimensions in data infrastructure. One area we're seeing a lot of activity in is vector databases and semantic search capabilities. Traditional keyword-based search is being supplemented or replaced by embedding-based semantic search, which requires new types of databases and indexing strategies.We're also seeing increased demand for real-time processing. As AI models become more integrated into production systems, there's a need to handle more GPUs in the serving flow, which presents its own set of challenges.Another interesting trend is the convergence of traditional data analytics with AI workloads. We're starting to see use cases where people want to perform complex queries that involve both structured data analytics and AI model inference.Overall, I think we're moving towards more integrated, real-time, and AI-aware data infrastructure. The challenge will be balancing the need for advanced capabilities with concerns around cost, efficiency, and maintainability. This is a public episode.

In this podcast I have invited Neha Pawar, who is one of the Founding Engineers are StarTree (the company powering Apache Pinot). We talked about how StarTree has implemented Tiered storage and how it differs from other available implementations. Note: Currently tiered storage is available only in StarTree's Pinot and not available in the open source version. But its only about time. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 03:28 What does Tiered Storage mean? 05:51 How many tiers are typically supported? 07:30 Is it mainly about Cost Optimisation? How do I compare the cost savings vs performance hit? 15:41 What is mmap and how does it help? 16:45 How do I implement/approach Tiered Storage? What are the challenges? 23:00 What is Apache Pinot? When we say low latency, how low it is? 25:00 How is it implemented in StarTree (Apache Pinot)? 36:45 What happens when I query for more number of (or all) columns? How is that optimised? 47:10 What are the failure modes? 50:15 How can we test and validate Tiered Storage as a feature? 54:30 How would bloom filter false positives affect performance and correctness? 56:15 Can I move back my data from Cold storage to Hot Storage? 57:45 What other cloud storage services are supported other than S3? 58:35 What is the future of Tiered Storage?

Kishore Gopalakrishna, co-founder and CEO of StarTree, created a solution to a database problem with his co-worker and eventual co-founder Xiang Fu while working at LinkedIn. At the time, LinkedIn was debuting its now-popular feature called Who's Viewed Your Profile, which required the ability to slice and dice massive amounts of data in real time. Kishore and Xiang developed what they called Apache Pinot, a real-time distributed analytical processing data store used to deliver scalable real-time analytics with very low latency. The pair went on to found their open source company, StarTree, in 2019 to build a commercial version of Apache Pinot. The analytics provided by its technology are increasingly essential for all kinds of business decision makers, and the company's quickly emerged as a leader in serving up real-time user-facing analytics at very low latency—for millions. In this episode, Kishore talks about the solutions StarTree provides, its key relationship with the developer community and the roadmap for the company, which just announced a $47 million series B led by GGV, with participation from investor existing investors, Bain and CRV as well as new investor Sapphire Ventures.

StarTree, a company building what it describes as an “analytics-as-a-service” platform, today announced that it raised $47 million in a Series B round led by GGV Capital with participation from Sapphire Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and CRV.

Kishore Gopalakrishna is Co-Founder & CEO of Startree, the real-time analytics platform that provides a managed service on top of the open-source distributed data store Apache Pinot. Kishore is also the co-creator of Apache Pinot, which was started while he was at LinkedIn. Since leaving to build Startree, Kishore and his team have raised $28M from investors including GGV, Bain Capital Ventures, and CRV. In this episode, we discuss the right time to launch a managed service on top of an open source project, the importance of relentless focus on customer needs and use cases early-on, community building, and much more.

This episode features an interview with Neha Pawar, a Founding Engineer at StarTree. StarTree is a software development company that focuses on democratizing data for all users by providing real-time, user-facing analytics.Prior to her time at StarTree, Neha was a Senior Software Engineer on LinkedIn's Data Analytics team where she spent five years working on Apache Pinot. Neha has provided countless contributions to Pinot over the years, focusing on real-time streaming integrations, ingestion, and storage. In this episode, Sam sits down with Neha to discuss Apache Pinot's impact on the data community and how LinkedIn popularized real-time analytics.-------------------"Many people do think that a batch is good enough, real-time infra is expensive anyway. And what difference is it going to make if the data shown in this application is a day ago or an hour ago, and it's not real-time to the nearest second? And while that is true, in some cases, but in many other cases, not having real-time data can be super expensive and can affect the business badly and also make them irrelevant. You need the real-time data and then you also need to be able to analyze that data at the speed of your thought. For example, if you are having fraudulent activity somewhere, you can't wait for, ‘Hey, my model is going to learn about this.' And then the next time, be able to tell me that that was a fraudulent activity. You need to be able to analyze all that data right now. So, it's not just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have.” – Neha Pawar-------------------Episode Timestamps:(01:58): What open source data means to Neha(06:04): Neha's learnings from the LinkedIn Data Analytics Team(07:07): What peaked Neha's interest in real-time data analytics(08:30): Neha's first experiences working on Apache Pinot(11:40): How the work of real-time data spread from LinkedIn to other companies(17:30): How the Apache community has grown(24:04): Neha's focus at StarTree(30:41): Neha's motivation for tiered storage at StarTree (37:07): Neha's advice for open source data folks-------------------Links:LinkedIn - Connect with NehaLinkedIn - Connect with StarTreeTwitter - Follow NehaTwitter - Follow StarTreeVisit StarTree

Real-time analytics are difficult to achieve because large amounts of data must be integrated into a data set as that data streams in. As the world moved from batch analytics powered by Hadoop into a norm of “real-time” analytics, a variety of open source systems emerged. One of these was Apache Pinot.

Companies that take existing software and manage it in the cloud have the opportunity to rethink their architecture and use cloud services appropriately. The resulting system is often cheaper, simpler, more elastic, and more manageable. Neha Pawar, a founding engineer at StarTree Data and a PMC member of Apache Pinot, recently published a blog post about her experiments with tiered storage for Pinot. We had an in-depth conversation about how they approached the architecture change and the challenges of achieving reasonable latencies with cloud object storage like S3. And the big question: Why did otherwise reasonable engineers decide to tackle this project's prototype over a weekend? Interested in more SaaS?

Data and analytics are permeating every system, including customer-facing applications. The introduction of embedded analytics to an end-user product creates a significant shift in requirements for your data layer. The Pinot OLAP datastore was created for this purpose, optimizing for low latency queries on rapidly updating datasets with highly concurrent queries. In this episode Kishore Gopalakrishna and Xiang Fu explain how it is able to achieve those characteristics, their work at StarTree to make it more easily available, and how you can start using it for your own high throughput data workloads today.
