Allbirds has sold its footwear business to American Exchange Group for $39 million, is removing sustainability language from its charter, and is relaunching as NewBird AI with a plan to buy GPU infrastructure using a $50 million convertible financing facility—an outcome that depends on a shareholder vote scheduled for May 18, 2026. How NewBird AI […]
Microsoft’s April 2026 Windows 10 update (KB5082200) forces explicit user consent when opening .rdp files and stages new Secure Boot certificates; those are concrete, operator-level changes, but they do not make .rdp-based phishing impossible. Administrators need to treat the update as a change in control points, not a substitute for policy and training. How KB5082200 […]
In 2024, open–source DevOps projects are judged less by sweeping promises and more by how well they slot into existing CI/CD workflows, reduce secret exposure, and scale storage without operational surprise. Concrete risk points these tools are addressing Teams have shifted from treating open-source utilities as generic automation to viewing them as targeted mitigations for […]
Anthropic has simultaneously pushed Mythos into conversations at the highest levels of government and finance while locked in a legal fight with the Department of Defense—an unusual posture that makes Mythos a distinct governance and operational problem for banks, regulators, and infrastructure providers. What banks and financial regulators are being asked to weigh Mythos is […]
In early April 2026, a Magecart campaign used a tiny, deliberate evasion technique—embedding a base64 JavaScript skimmer in a 1×1 pixel SVG’s onload attribute—to harvest card data from nearly 100 Magento stores while exploiting the PolyShell vulnerability; official Adobe fixes remain in pre-release. What unfolded in early April and why the SVG matters Recommended Reading […]
Poke, a Palo Alto startup, runs AI agents entirely through text messages—iMessage, SMS, and Telegram—so users can set up automations without installing an app or managing API keys. The platform’s distinct technical choice is provider-agnostic model routing: it picks the model best suited to each task, including open-source models, rather than tying automations to a […]
In 2026, renting $30,000-class GPUs and buying thermally hardened, modular workstations are both viable ways to run AI-driven password cracking and red-team labs — but they solve different problems. This article lays out the cost inflection, the thermal and software constraints that determine sustained throughput, and the concrete decision points teams face today. How rental […]
Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft AI, frames the present moment as one driven less by new algorithms than by an extraordinary expansion of compute and the costs of running models. He says the math has changed: exponential compute growth has compressed training times and pushed the real bottleneck toward inference costs and infrastructure scale. A […]
OpenAI’s Child Safety Blueprint is not just a PR reset: it pairs proposed law changes, new reporting channels for investigators, and built‑in safeguards in models to address a concrete rise in AI‑enabled child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The initiative was developed with NCMEC, the Attorney General Alliance, and state attorneys general after the Internet Watch […]
The recent sequence of fixes for the Ninja Forms – File Upload extension matters because an incomplete February patch left thousands of WordPress sites exposed to unauthenticated remote code execution until a full remediation arrived on March 19, 2026. CVE-2026-0740 (CVSS 9.8) allows arbitrary file upload via the plugin’s handle_upload() AJAX endpoint; only version 3.3.27 […]
Arcee, a 26‑person U.S. startup, has shipped Trinity Large Thinking — a 400B-parameter, Mixture‑of‑Experts model released under Apache 2.0 — positioning a geopolitically sovereign, commercially usable alternative to proprietary and Chinese-built AI. Trinity’s design, training choices, and U.S.-based infrastructure partnership intentionally challenge the idea that only the biggest AI labs can produce competitive, deployable frontier […]
APT28 (Fancy Bear, GRU Unit 26165) has shifted from classic phishing and malware to a hybrid approach that begins on compromised home and SOHO routers and finishes inside Microsoft 365 environments—using DNS hijacking and a cloud-native malware toolkit called “AUTHENTIC ANTICS” to steal OAuth tokens and live cloud content. That contrast—network infrastructure compromise at the […]
