Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex psychiatric disorder that affects the lives of hundreds of millions of individuals around the globe. Even today, researchers debate if morphological alterations in the brain are linked to MDD, likely due to the heterogeneity of this disorder. The application of deep learning tools to neuroimaging data, capable of capturing complex non-linear patterns, has the potential to provide diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for MDD.

StormBamboo Compromises ISP to Abuse Insecure Software Update Mechanisms KEY TAKEAWAYS StormBamboo successfully compromised an internet service provider (ISP) in order to poison DNS responses for target organizations. Insecure software update mechanisms were targeted to surreptitiously install malware on victim machines running macOS and Windows. Malware deployed by StormBamboo includes new variants of the MACMA malware.

Abstract Machine learning (ML) techniques have gained popularity in the neuroimaging field due to their potential for classifying neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the diagnostic predictive power of the existing algorithms has been limited by small sample sizes, lack of representativeness, data leakage, and/or overfitting.
