Systems/M365 admin for 2 years, on my own supporting 150 users spread across multiple sites. My manager is leaving, and they're pushing me toward a "Head of IT" role — more budget, strategy, board meetings. I can technically handle it. The problem is it just doesn't grab me at a gut level. Negotiating, playing the political game, I genuinely couldn't care less about it — I could fake it, but I'd be faking it the whole way through. My current IT Director doesn't help either: nice enough outside of work, but at the office he's a walking cliché — technically clueless, obsessed with looking good in front of leadership, incapable of admitting he's wrong (he'll flat-out rewrite what happened rather than own a mistake). A total corporate-climber boomer. And he's leaving in a few months anyway — we were a team of 3 not long ago, so I'll end up alone regardless of the title, handling daily support, infra evolution, projects, M365, and telephony all at once. I think I just like fixing real problems, not playing power games. Turning down a promotion still looks bad socially, but I think lying to yourself about it costs a lot more in the long run. submitted by /u/Gloomy_Pie_7369 [link] [comments]

I currently work 32 hours a week as the main internal IT person for a logistics company with around 110 users. We also have an external MSP, but I handle most of the day-to-day IT work and coordinate with them when necessary. My work includes: User and device management Laptop deployment and endpoint policies Identity, access and security management Software deployment, licensing and updates Managing our ticketing system and CMDB Cloud storage, mailboxes and collaboration tools Managing and redesigning our softphone and call queues Troubleshooting hardware, printers, networks and user issues Working with suppliers, ISPs and our MSP Writing documentation and procedures Managing infrastructure changes and small IT projects Alongside this, I help a small engineering company with around 5 users, which may grow to about 10. There I’m building most of the IT environment from scratch, including device management, security, cloud storage, software deployment and general IT support. I also have a homelab where I run several servers and virtual machines because I enjoy learning and experimenting. The strange thing is that I don’t really know what my role is anymore. I started in IT support/workplace management, but I now do parts of system administration, cloud administration, infrastructure, security, telephony, project work and IT coordination. I enjoy having a broad role, but I’m worried that I’m becoming “the guy who does everything” without becoming a real specialist in anything. I don’t know whether I should aim for a sysadmin or cloud administrator role, move towards IT management, or continue as a broad IT generalist. For people who have been in a similar position: What job title would you give this type of role? Which direction would make the most sense from here? Should I specialise, or is being a broad IT generalist a good path? Which skills or certifications would actually add value? At what point do you consider yourself a sysadmin rather than support? I know titles aren’t everything, but I feel like I’m doing much more than traditional support while still not knowing exactly where I fit. submitted by /u/timtim2000 [link] [comments]

Apple today informed MacRumors and others that the Apple TV streaming service is receiving a price increase in the U.S. starting today. As a result of the Apple TV price increase, the Apple One Individual bundle has also gone up in price, with all of today's changes outlined below. Apple TV (Monthly): $14.99 per month (up from $12.99 per month) Apple TV (Annually): $119 per year (up from $99 per year) Apple One (Individual): $21.95 per month (up from $19.95 per month)Apple TV also received a price increase in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico today, according to Apple, but no other countries are affected. The higher prices are effective immediately for new subscribers, while existing subscribers will be notified approximately one month prior to being charged the new price, according to Apple. Existing subscribers should look out for an email from Apple over the coming days and weeks ahead of their next subscription renewal. Apple TV initially cost just $4.99 per month in the U.S. when it launched in 2019, but the price has increased four times. The monthly price rose to $6.99 in 2022, to $9.99 in 2023, to $12.99 in 2025, and now to $14.99. Apple One Family and Apple One Premier did not receive price increases today, but those plans already went up in price in July alongside an Apple Music price increase. Apple One Individual had avoided a price increase at that time.

We got a few sites to deal, I would like to know what everyone is using to deploy VMs and containers at all these locations. We were looking at VMware but the pricing horror stories well just avoid it, scalecomputing is interesting but we’d like to keep the hardware we already have and this new company called Tekkio that seems to do exactly what we need. We’re also considering Proxmox, how would that work for what we’re trying to do ? Any thoughts? Just trying to get a general idea Other solutions mentioned in the comments : VergeOS, OpsFabric, hyper-v Edit: so 37 locations with mostly mini pcs a bunch of workloads locally including POS systems, inventory management, CCTV, guest WiFi, print servers and so on Ok I realize my original post lacks detail. I have compute at all these locations anyways, and I’m running VMs and Containers on site because connectivity can be gone for days at a time in some of our location. My goal here is to make as easy as possible to deal with all these locations. That’s avoiding configuration drift, being able to deploy a new container/vm at all locations at once. But also get high availability, and as much resiliency as possible. Essentially a solution that helps standardize everything and simplify management of all of this. submitted by /u/dcristoklam [link] [comments]

Apple CEO Tim Cook today pledged that the company will make a donation toward relief and rebuilding work in Nepal and Tibet, where flash floods and mudslides have killed hundreds of people. On Wednesday, part of a Himalayan glacier collapsed, briefly damming a river before a surge of water and mud hit communities downstream. Many people are dead or missing, and roads, bridges, and homes near the Nepal–Tibet border have been destroyed.

Cook makes this pledge in the final days of his tenure as CEO. John Ternus takes over the role on September 1, when Cook will shift into the newly created executive chairman position, where he is expected to continue representing Apple on policy matters.Tag: Tim CookThis article, "Apple Pledges Donation for Nepal and Tibet Flood Relief" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Hey everyone, looking for confirmation on a worst-case scenario. I’ve been with my company for about two years now. Before I was hired, the company underwent a merger. As part of that merger, the entire IT setup,including a migration from an old self-hosted/third-party email system over to Microsoft 365, was fully completed by the previous team. Fast forward to today: A high-level executive’s laptop suffered a total Windows crash. When attempting to boot or repair, it hits the standard blue screen demanding the 48-digit BitLocker recovery key. Here is the problem: The laptop was encrypted way back before merge. Everything (migration, handover, decommissioning) was already finished before I joined, and no legacy BitLocker key repository was documented or handed over. The key does not exist in our current Microsoft 365 / Entra ID tenant because the machine was encrypted long before the M365 migration took place. What I’ve already done: Checked our current Entra ID portal (nothing there, as expected). Had the VIP check [account.microsoft.com/recoverykey](https://account.microsoft.com/recoverykey) on any personal or old email addresses they could remember. Removed the drive to mount via USB adapter on a bench PC;still immediately prompts for the BitLocker key. My Questions: Has anyone dealt with missing BitLocker keys after the old environment was already gone, or am I officially at the "deliver the bad news, wipe the drive, and re-image" phase? submitted by /u/Mysterious-Loquat619 [link] [comments]

Motståndet mot nya datacenter sprids och blir allt starkare i framför allt USA (men inte bara där) och det är lätt att tro att det hela drivs av en AI-backlash. I den amerikanska techdebatten har det exempelvis nu börjat lyftas kritik mot Anthropics Dario Amodei och Open AI:s Sam Altman för att de skrämt upp folk för mycket med sitt prat om att AI kommer ta alla jobb. Och visst, som jag skrivit om tidigare finns det all anledning att ta människors tveksamhet inför den nya tekniken på allvar. Men om man tittar närmare på rörelsen är det tydligt att drivkrafterna inte har så mycket med rädsla för AI att göra. AI är förvisso medskyldigt eftersom det är AI-boomen som ligger bakom den enorma utbyggnaden av datacenter som planeras, men i allt väsentligt är det här inte något som förstås genom ett allmänt ”techdebatt”-perspektiv. Det här är nämligen lokala frågor. Motståndet eldas i viss mån på av AI-kritiker och anti-AI-aktivister men i de allra flesta fall handlar det om vanliga medborgares oro för sin närmiljö och sina plånböcker. Det handlar om energitillgång och elpriser, om störande ljud, om etablering av nya miljöförstörande kol- och gaskraftverk i grannskapen. I förra veckan kom en undersökning som visar att tre fjärdedelar av amerikanerna inte vill bo granne med ett datacenter och det här är anledning till att datacenter nu blivit en politisk fråga i USA. Mellanårsvalet i höst drivs av lokalpolitik på ett helt annat sätt än vad ett presidentval gör och datacenterfrågan är nu något som alla kongresskandidater måste besvara. Vi har ett val i Sverige också om mindre än en månad och även om vi sett ett par utspel från främst oppositionen är datacenter inte en stor politisk fråga här, ännu. Det handlar dels om att den miljöförstörande aspekten inte riktigt finns här – en techjätte skulle aldrig få tillstånd att bränna massa kol, gas och diesel för att driva AI-datacenter i Sverige – men också för att datacenter från politiskt håll fortfarande ses som något nästan odelat positivt. Det är fortfarande storögda välkomnanden om datacenteretableringar som är ”bra för Sverige” när investeringsplaner presenteras. Känslan av att få ”hänga med” och vara i AI-utvecklingens framkant tar över. Så låter det i alla fall i den allmänna, rikspolitiska, debatten. För även här har datacenter blivit en lokalpolitisk fråga, vilket man helt missar om man bara följer riksmedierna. Sedan i somras har det uppstått en vild debatt om Googles planer på köpa industriområdet Torsboda i Timrå för att bygga AI-datacenter i gigawatt-skala, en debatt som nog gått under radarn för många. Lokala medier ger en annan bild: enbart SVT:s lokalnyheter i Västernorrland har hittills gjort över 40 (!) publiceringar i frågan. Som även här, precis som i USA, inte handlar om AI alls utan om invånarnas oro för framför allt energitillgång och höjda elpriser. Kampanjer har startats, protestlistor har lämnats in. Till slut sa politikerna i de berörda kommunerna, Timrå och Sundsvall, ändå ja till affären. Trots att flera av dem menat att det här i grunden är en fråga av nationell vikt. Först i efterhand har finansmarknadsminister Niklas Wykman sagt att han tänker prata med Google för att höra hur de tänkt sig att försörjningen av kapaciteten på potentiellt 2 000 MW, motsvarande två kärnreaktorer, ska gå till. Det är uppenbart att det behövs en nationell strategi och handlingsplan, och den kan inte bara handla om att ”attrahera investeringar” och ”skapa bättre förutsättningar” för datacenter utan om att rent konkret peka på vilka villkor som ska gälla för att få ta del av vår än så länge billiga el. När el och nätkapacitet blivit strategiska och begränsade resurser måste Sverige också bestämma vad vi vill ha i utbyte. Vad krävs egentligen för att få lägga beslag på ett par kärnreaktorers effekt? En sådan sak är att visa hur etableringarna faktiskt gynnar Sverige, svenska företag och medborgare. Techjättarna brukar sälja in sina satsningar med att de skapar jobb, oklart hur många, och sockra det med att lägga några miljoner på att utbilda medborgarna (både Microsoft och Google har gjort detta). Men det är nog dags att ställa högre krav än så. Ibland låter det som att det är positivt för Sverige bara AI-beräkningskraften står på svensk mark, men så fungerar det ju inte. Så länge inte kapacitet till exempel öronmärks för svenska företag (vilket Socialdemokraterna föreslagit) eller frigörs genom tydliga samarbeten med svenska institutioner och organisationer från start, finns det inget som hindrar att all beräkningskapacitet i praktiken produceras med billig svensk el för att sedan ”exporteras” till kunder i andra länder. Men frågan om energiförsörjning är förstås den stora. Just nu ligger det ansökningar hos Svenska kraftnät på nästan 7 000 MW för datacenter. I december var siffran 5 000 MW. Storleken på anspråken visar att det här inte kan fortsätta behandlas som en rad isolerade etableringsfrågor, så att ställa frågan till techbolagen var de tänker sig att den här kapaciteten ska komma från är minst sagt rimlig. Och den lär behöva fortsätta ställas oavsett vem som vinner valet nästa månad. Ett anspråkslöst förslag: Sverige ska bygga ny kärnkraft som kommer att kosta hundratals, kanske över 1 000 miljarder kronor. Kanske AI-byggarna kan lämna ett bidrag till detta? — Den här krönikan är hämtad ur CS Veckobrev, ett personligt nyhetsbrev med lästips, länktips och analyser skickat direkt från chefredaktör Marcus Jerrängs skrivbord.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to troubleshoot an issue with an old Siemens phone system at a hotel, but I don’t have much experience with this kind of equipment. I’d really appreciate any advice. Basically, there is a Siemens telephone system in the hotel. There are 3 phones at the reception, and one phone in each room. Everything was working before, except for one phone at the reception, there was no power or connection at its phone socket. A week ago, some workers came to install refrigerators and, as I was told, they went around switching off and on all the electrical panels and breakers. After that, all phone sockets in the hotel lost both power and connection. They did not enter the server room. I suspect the problem is with the Siemens PBX itself (HiPath 150E), its power supply, or the lines. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or what I should check? All other electrical systems and the network are working fine, only the local telephone system went down. submitted by /u/SuspiciousCurve5026 [link] [comments]

Earlier this month, about 40 top mathematicians gathered at OpenAI’s offices to discuss the future of their profession.

We think the contrary view is more likely, at least in the short-term. AI models are nowhere near as capable as experienced academic mathematicians.

Google is adding an "Expert Intelligence" feature to Gemini Notebook (formerly known as NotebookLM) that lets users cite and work directly from more than 100,000 books they own through Google Play Books. Those books can be used as sources for things like quizzes, infographics, and Audio Overviews. Digital Trends reports: For now, Google is offering one free book to users in the US as part of the launch campaign, with a caveat -- "while supplies last." At the moment, Expert Intelligence is only available in the Gemini Notebook app and its web dashboard, but down the road, Google says that it will also appear within the core Gemini app and AI mode in Search. The broad idea behind expert intelligence is to combine what you can already do with Gemini, and expertise sourced from your favorite books. So, if you're asking Gemini to create a meal plan that is based entirely on chicken and spinach, you can ask the AI assistant to look for relevant recipes in one of Martha Stewart's cookbooks that you own. You can use these books as a source and turn them into Infographics, Audio Overviews, and Quizzes, among other formats. Google has partnered with select authors on Featured Notebooks that provide extra insights and context beyond their books. It's also worth noting that access is still tied to book ownership, so anyone using a shared Gemini notebook must own or purchase the book to fully use the feature.

I've been learning Japanese for a few years and kept running into a similar problem. I'd find a video I wanted to learn from, hear a useful sentence, and then realise that turning that sentence into something I could study later was both time consuming and draining at times.I would end up jumping between a video player, subtitles/transcription, a dictionary, screenshots, audio clips and Anki. So I built SubSmith to bring that workflow together.You can drop a video or audio file into it, generate a transcript locally and then use the transcript alongside the media to:* look up words and sentences * replay individual lines * edit the transcript * save useful sentences with their original context/audio * export them as Anki cardsThe important part for me is that it works with your own media. It isn't tied to a particular streaming service or library, so I can use the random anime episode, podcast, lecture, etc. that I'm actually interested in studying.It's an offline-first desktop app, and transcription happens locally rather than sending the media to a transcription API.I'm sharing it here because I'm now more interested in finding out where this workflow breaks down for other people rather than adding features randomly now that I have solid core/base.For example:* Would you actually save sentences from your own media? * Which part of this process feels like too much work? * Does having the audio/context attached make creating an Anki card more useful? * Would you prefer this to work inside your existing video player/browser? * Is installing a desktop app a significant barrier? * And does requiring an account before starting the free trial make you give up?The current version does require an account to start the trial, and I'm trying to work out whether that's meaningful friction for the people who would actually use this.It's free to try, and I'd particularly appreciate feedback from people who already learn languages through their own videos, anime, films, podcasts or other media.I'm the developer, so I'll be around in the comments to answer questions and discuss how it works.https://subsmith.app Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476894 Points: 36 # Comments: 39

Overview On August 27, 2026, PaperCut Software published an urgent security advisory stating that it is investigating active exploitation of a vulnerability affecting PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF. PaperCut has confirmed customer incidents and is treating the issue as a security emergency. At the initial time of disclosure, the vulnerability had not been assigned a CVE identifier, and PaperCut had not publicly disclosed a CVSS score, vulnerability class, authentication requirements, or the technical details of the exploit path. However on August 28, the vendor assigned CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078 for the two vulnerabilities that make up the exploit chain.CVE IDDescriptionCWECVSSv4CVE-2026-81578Authentication BypassCWE-306 Missing authentication for critical function.8.8 (High)CVE-2026-82078Unsafe Dynamic Class Loading in Database ConnectorCWE-470 Use of Externally-Controlled input to select classes or code ('unsafe reflection').9.4 (Critical)PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF are print management platforms commonly deployed within enterprise, education, and other organizational environments. Because the PaperCut Application Server provides web-accessible administrative and application functionality, organizations with servers exposed to the public internet should prioritize remediation and access restriction.PaperCut stated in its advisory that information supplied by a university customer’s security team and digital forensics and incident response team enabled its security response team to reproduce the vulnerability in PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF. On August 28, 2026 at 02:10 AEST, PaperCut released emergency patches for PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF versions 25 and 26, followed later the same day with patches for version 24.PaperCut has been targeted in the past; in 2023, CVE-2023-27350 was broadly exploited in the wild by multiple threat-actor groups, including ransomware operators. This prior history increases the urgency organizations should address this new zero-day with.PaperCut currently considers all versions of PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF potentially impacted. Customers operating internet-accessible PaperCut Application Servers should take immediate action even if no suspicious activity has been observed.Technical overviewThe vulnerability is an authentication bypass that lets attackers invoke privileged PaperCut components. This can be leveraged to reconfigure an external database lookup. When this lookup is triggered, malicious SQL can be executed, resulting in remote code execution.PaperCut uses the Apache Tapestry framework, whose "complex direct" request format can identify one page to display and a different page containing the component to execute. PaperCut validates access only to the displayed page. By selecting either the public Error page or Exception page for display, an attacker can bypass authentication while invoking administrative components belonging to ConfigEditor or UserList. Additionally, the first emergency patch could be bypassed by using the Home page for display, however the newest version of the vendor patch correctly remediates this bypass.The attack uses HTTP POST requests to the following URIs (Note that the path segment with the value 1 shown below can be any value for this path segment, and the Error path segment may also be the Exception or Home path segment):/app?service=direct/1/Error/ConfigEditor/quickFindForm /app?service=direct/1/Error/ConfigEditor/$Form /app?service=direct/1/Error/UserList/$QuickFind.$FormThe first two URIs provide unauthenticated access to PaperCut's configuration editor. The third can invoke a user or card search that triggers the configured external database lookup.An attacker first uses the ConfigEditor requests to modify four external user-lookup settings:user-lookup.db-driver user-lookup.db-url user-lookup.id-to-username-sql user-lookup.enabledThese settings normally allow administrators to connect PaperCut to an external card database. After bypassing authentication, however, the attacker can configure them with a malicious JDBC connection and a malicious SQL statement.By leveraging PaperCut's bundled Apache Derby database driver and supplying a Derby CALL statement that activates its foreignViews feature, Derby opens an attacker-controlled H2 JDBC URL. H2 processes an inline INIT statement that creates a JavaScript-backed database trigger. PaperCut includes the Nashorn JavaScript engine, allowing that trigger to start an operating-system process. However it is expected that other mechanisms to execute an arbitrary command can also be used instead of Nashorn. Finally, the attacker submits a search through the forged UserList request. This activates the external lookup and executes the malicious SQL.Mitigation guidanceOrganizations running PaperCut NG or PaperCut MF should prioritize patching on an emergency basis, particularly where the PaperCut Application Server is accessible from the public internet.PaperCut has released emergency patches for PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF versions 24, 25 and 26. Note that the vendor has released a second version of the emergency patch. Any organization that has applied the original first version of the emergency patch is not protected, and must apply the second emergency patch immediately.The vendor notes that these builds have not undergone their normal release process and are intended as emergency fixes for customers with public-facing servers that cannot otherwise sufficiently mitigate exposure.PaperCut recommends that administrators immediately restrict web access to trusted IP addresses only, such as internal corporate network ranges. Firewall rules, network access controls, reverse-proxy restrictions, or equivalent measures should be used to prevent untrusted internet hosts from reaching PaperCut web interfaces.Please read the PaperCut security advisory for the latest remediation guidance, updated indicators of compromise, and additional release information.Artifacts/Evidence Sources and IOCsFor detection and forensic analysis, PaperCut has identified several preliminary artifacts and evidence sources that may indicate compromise.Application activity: Alerts from intrusion-detection, endpoint-security, or network-monitoring products involving the PaperCut Application Server, particularly suspicious post-exploitation activity associated with pc-app.exe.Log integrity: Missing, unexpectedly truncated, or deleted PaperCut server.log files.PaperCut server.log entries:ERROR No suitable driver found for jdbc:no:xERROR DatabaseUtils - Database error looking up cardID: VALUES CASTPaperCut has not yet published validated network-based indicators such as malicious IP addresses, domains, or URLs.The vendor specifically warns that the absence of these indicators should not be interpreted as evidence that a system has not been affected.Rapid7 customersExposure Command, InsightVM, and NexposeExposure Command, InsightVM, and Nexpose customers can assess exposure to this new PaperCut zero-day, with an authenticated vulnerability check expected to be available in the August 28 (today’s) content release.UpdatesAugust 28, 2026: Initial publication.August 28, 2026: Updated to reflect new emergency patches and CVE ID assignment.

The char/misc changes were merged this week for the Linux 7.3 cycle. While there is a lot of IIO driver churn as usual and updates to the likes of the Google Binder drivers, there continues to be the 2026 trend of removing old hardware drivers that are rarely updated these days and likely have no active users left on the mainline Linux kernel. This trend is further pushed along by the surplus of AI/LLM-generated bug reports and patches these days causing additional maintenance burden for these obsolete drivers...

Över 100 teknik-, AI och cybersäkerhetsföretag går nu samman i ett upprop för att kraftigt förstärka cybersäkerheten världen över. Bland undertecknarna finns Google, Microsoft, Open AI, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Adobe, IBM, Cloudflare och Crowdstrike. I ett öppet brev varnar företagen för att cyberattacker lär bli både vanligare och mer avancerade de kommande månaderna, i takt med att AI-modeller blir allt mer kapabla. Undertecknarna skriver att det finns ett begränsat fönster att ligga steget före. Enligt undertecknarna kan AI-utvecklingen samtidigt också kan stärka cyberförsvaret. Företagen vill därför se en gemensam internationell satsning där organisationer höjer sina säkerhetskrav och prioriterar cybersäkerhet. Bland annat uppmanas cybersäkerhetsföretag att göra AI-baserade försvarsverktyg mer tillgängliga, medan regeringar bland annat bör finansiera säkerhetsarbete inom samhällsviktiga verksamheter. AI-företagen bakom de mest avancerade AI-modellerna uppmanas i sin tur ge försvarare tillgång till modeller, finansiering, och utbildning.

AI-plattformen Hugging Face har nu lanserat Microdruck, en ankformad robot med öppen källkod, rapporterar Techcrunch. Roboten är 25 centimeter hög och använder en kamera, lidar och två rörelsesensorer för att uppfatta sin omgivning. Microduck kan bland annat vagga fram, huka sig, resa sig efter att ha ramlat och plocka upp föremål på upp till 800 gram med näbben. Tanken är att användare själva ska kunna lära roboten nya beteenden med hjälp av förstärkningsinlärning. Beteenden kan först tränas i en simulering och sedan föras över till den fysiska roboten. Enligt Hugging Face är öppenheten en fördel för integritet, eftersom användaren får större insyn och kontroll över vad roboten gör. Det innebär dock inte att all information stannar lokalt, eftersom tredjepartsappar fortfarande kan få tillgång till exempelvis kameran. Microdock är tillgänglig att beställa nu och ska levereras innan jul. Pris ligger på 340 euro, motsvarande cirka 3800 kronor. raw footage pic.twitter.com/HUTKEb9bXT— clem 🤗 (@ClementDelangue) August 27, 2026

En federal domare i USA stoppar nu Pentagons svartlistning av AI-bolaget Anthropic. Enligt domaren var Pentagons beslut “olagligt och saknade grund”, rapporterar Reuters. Pentagon klassade Anthropic som en säkerhetsrisk efter att Anthropic vägrat låta den amerikanska militären använda Claude för inhemsk övervakning eller autonoma vapen. Efter det stämde Anthropic den amerikanska regeringen. Enligt företaget hade försvarsministern Pete Hegseth överskridit sina befogenheter och svartlistat företaget som ett straff för deras ståndpunkter kring AI-säkerhet. Den federala domaren håller nu med och skriver att hänvisningar till nationell säkerhet inte användas för att bestraffa regeringskritiker. Anthropic säger att de välkomnar beslutet. Pentagon har ännu inte kommenterat det hela Anthropic driver samtidigt en separat rättsprocess i Washington D.C. gällande en annan klassning från Pentagon som kan leda till att företaget stängs ute från civila myndighetskontrakt.

Canada is recruiting 64 researchers to universities across the country (source paywalled; alternative source), including 48 from U.S. institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and MIT. The hires are backed by more than $364 million in government funding and are part of a broader effort to attract researchers in fields such as AI, climate science, and medicine. The New York Times reports: While scientists often shy away from political discourse, some are saying the Trump administration's assault on science is behind their departure. "I used to live in the country that I thought was the most enthusiastic about the prospects for science improving the human condition, of any country in the world," said Phillip Zamore, the chair of RNA Therapeutics Institute at the University of Massachusetts. "And I woke up one day and that wasn't true anymore." He has been recruited to McGill University in Montreal, which has also hired five other researchers, and will join the medical faculty. "If scientists don't stand up for truth, no one will," Dr. Zamore said. The Canada-bound brain drain from U.S. institutions began last year as the Trump administration put forward policies that targeted foreign students, academic freedom and funding for equity-related programs. Kevin Hall, a nutrition scientist who left the U.S. National Institutes of Health last year, accusing federal officials of censoring his research on ultraprocessed foods, has been hired at the University of Ottawa. "While certain countries are cutting research and turning their back on academic freedom, we're doubling down on science," Melanie Joly, Canada's industry minister, told reporters at the announcement, in Vancouver, of the new university hiring. She billed it as the world's "largest talent attraction" project. The European Union has made a similar push. "Years from now, we will look back at today's announcement, and we will be able to seize the lasting impact of our choices," Ms. Joly said. Unpredictable decisions about funding prompted Seth Guikema, a professor in civil and environmental engineering, who has specialized in natural hazards modeling at the University of Michigan, to look elsewhere. His work focuses on how climate hazards inequitably affect communities, and that work has become harder to fund, he said. "Every country sets its priorities in terms of what is going to get funded, and I think Canada has done a very good job of supporting research in areas that really matter to society," said Dr. Guikema, who will start at Western University in London, Ontario in January.

Techbranschen stod inför en omvälvning i slutet av 2022 i och med lanseringen av Open AI:s Chat GPT, en enkel chattbot som kunde svara på frågor – nästan som genom ett trollslag. De tidiga banbrytande stora språkmodellerna (LLM) från Open AI och konkurrenter som Anthropic och Google kunde resonera, lösa problem och besvara detaljerade frågor som ställdes till dem med hjälp av naturligt språk. Men ingen visste exakt vad som fanns i de svarta lådorna bakom tjänsterna. Snart dök AI-modeller som Metas Llama och Mistral upp för att bryta det proprietära AI-monopolet. Dessa typer av modeller kunde laddas ner fritt och anpassas för specifika tillämpningar. I slutet av 2024 släppte det kinesiska företaget Deepseek V3, en öppen modell som enligt uppgift tränats till en bråkdel av den kostnad som de amerikanska pionjärlaboratorierna lagt ut. En resonemangsmodell, R1, följde i januari 2025 och betraktades som ett reellt hot mot pionjärmodellerna. Under det senaste året har öppna modeller som Alibabas Qwen och Moonshots Kimi också vunnit mark bland företag inom resonemangs-, agent- och fysisk AI. ”Resultatet är en tydlig trend: för varje generation tar det hälften så lång tid för öppen källkodsmodeller att komma ikapp den första slutna källkodsmodellen i sin era”, förklarade analysföretaget SemiAnalysis i ett nyhetsbrev denna månad. Olika typer av öppna modeller Det finns nu flera versioner av ”öppna” AI-modeller, däribland ”open-weight”-modeller och ”open-source”-modeller. Även om de låter liknande är det viktigt att förstå hur de skiljer sig åt. De vanligaste ”öppna” modellerna som används i företag är modellerna med öppna vikter. Dessa låter företag anpassa AI-tjänster och verktyg efter sina egna interna krav. Företagsledare och it-beslutsfattare kan se in i modellen, granska den och finjustera den efter sina egna specifika data. Öppna vikter är de parametrar som bearbetas med matematiska tekniker för att producera ett resultat. Företag kan anpassa en modell genom att finjustera vikterna, lägga till sina interna data och driftsätta den internt. ”Modeller med öppna vikter bidrar till att ge den tryggheten genom att de gör det möjligt för organisationer att kontrollera sina egna data, utvärdera och anpassa modellerna efter sina egna behov samt driftsätta dem där verksamhetens krav så kräver”, sa Nvidias vd Jensen Huang i ett brev som publicerades förra månaden. Men – och här ligger den största skillnaden – modeller med öppna vikter döljer information såsom kod och träningsdata, vilket innebär att vissa delar inte kan modifieras. Enligt Open Source Initiative (OSI) offentliggör en verkligt öppen källkodsmodell även de data som den tränats på, tillsammans med annan information som gör det möjligt att studera, granska, använda, modifiera och fritt distribuera dessa modeller. Användning av öppna modeller i företag Visst erbjuder tjänster som Chat GPT, Googles Gemini och Anthropics Claude välutvecklade AI-funktioner; de kommer inte att försvinna inom den närmaste framtiden. Men tjänsterna är dyra och kan vara överdimensionerade för vissa specifika företagsändamål. Många företag kan ha större nytta av en liten språkmodell (SLM) eller en LLM som är inriktad på just deras specifika behov. Öppna modeller är tomma dukar på vilka företagen kan måla upp sina arbetsflöden, säger Deepak Seth, senior director analyst på Gartner. – Ett företags verkliga behov ligger i specifika arbetsflöden med specifika data, och en sluten allroundmodell som tränats på hela internet är överdimensionerad för de flesta av dem, säger Seth. Kina är en förespråkare för öppen källkod och öppna modeller i takt med att landet i allt högre grad blir en AI-konkurrent till USA. Andra stora ekonomier, däribland Tyskland, Frankrike och Indien, uppmuntrar också införandet av öppna modeller. Företag som Servicenow och RWS har tagit i bruk dussintals open source-modeller (utöver egna modeller) som är specialiserade på specifika uppgifter. – Vi bör inte vara rädda för att använda en strategi med flera leverantörer om vi tror att vi kan dra nytta av olika AI-verktyg, snarare än att riskera att låsas in i ett enda AI-verktyg, säger Max Goss, forskningschef på Gartner. Vid fysisk drift, till exempel i ett fordon eller på plats, måste beslut fattas på millisekunder – ibland direkt på enheten. Det gynnar modeller som är specialbyggda, effektiva och kan köras nära den plats där data genereras, säger Praveen Murugesan, vice vd för teknik på Samsara. – Öppna modeller möjliggör en sådan skiktad distribution eftersom företaget styr var varje modell körs och vilka data den hanterar, säger Murugesan. Styrning och kontroll som viktiga tillgångar I takt med att fler företag anammar AI blir drifttiden allt viktigare för att arbetsflödena ska fungera smidigt. Öppna källkodsmodeller ger företagen större kontroll över sin AI-framtid – och skydd mot sårbarheter som upptäcks i proprietära stora språkmodeller. Att säkra och kontrollera AI-system och data är en del av den styrning som krävs för att framgångsrikt implementera AI inom företag. – Man bygger faktiskt gränserna runt det. Så den ansvarsfulla AI:n är inbyggd, säger Jinsook Han, grundare och partner på Spruce Peak Ventures. Öppna modeller kan köras internt, avskilda från molnet. Det ger ytterligare säkerhet, särskilt för reglerade branscher där datakontroll är avgörande. – Det finns definitivt en tendens mot att känna sig tryggare med en mer öppen modell och att förlita sig på: Jag vill ha allt lokalt. Jag vill ha det här i mitt arbetssystem, säger Han. Företagen kommer att vilja ha modeller som är tränade på deras egen information och kommer att behöva gedigen kontroll över verktygen på grund av oro för läckage av immateriella rättigheter, säger Craig LeClair, vice vd och chefsanalytiker på Forrester Research. – Öppna källkodsmodeller kommer att köras i kontrollerade lokala miljöer, vilket ganska snabbt gör dem mindre öppna, säger LeClair. Öppna modeller gör det möjligt för företag att ”granska vikterna, kontrollera träningsdata eller isolera driftsättningen”, säger Goss från Gartner. – Man kan inte styra det man inte ser. AI och digital suveränitet Öppna modeller kan hjälpa länder att anpassa AI så att den uppfyller inhemska seder, traditioner, policyer och regionala regleringskrav. – Öppna modeller är viktiga för suverän AI så att nationer kan förstå, anpassa och kontrollera de system som driver den digitala infrastrukturen, säger Richard Morton, chef för Institute of Foundation Models vid Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence i Abu Dhabi. Öppna modeller är också bättre på att driva innovation utifrån lokal kunskap och lokala krav, säger Kari Briski, vice vd för generativ AI-programvara hos Nvidia. – Öppna modeller och öppna data fungerar som en startpunkt: man behöver inte återskapa och samla in kunskapen från internet som en förträningsmodell, säger Briski. Nackdelarna med att satsa på öppenhet Proprietär teknik kan hämma innovation, även om den erbjuder en högre säkerhetsnivå än öppen teknik, säger Jack Gold, chefsanalytiker på J. Gold Associates. Och även om öppna modeller finns tillgängliga från stora tjänsteleverantörer, faller ansvaret för deras implementering, underhåll och uppdateringar i många fall på företagen själva. Utöver det är öppna modeller kanske inte alltid fullständigt granskade, vilket medför en risk att proprietär information i en modell kan läcka utanför företagets gränser, säger Gold. Till exempel har det funnits stort intresse för Open Claw, som kan skanna filsystem, få tillgång till personlig information och kommunicera med stora språkmodeller, men agenterna kan skapa nya angreppsyta; det är därför som ledande tekniker experimenterar noggrant innan de implementerar dem i företaget. – Vi tror starkt på öppen källkod och är oerhört glada över att se ekosystemet kring dessa öppen källkodsmodeller växa och blomstra. Med tiden kommer dessa öppen källkodsmodeller att få sin egen plats, säger Samar Abbas, medgrundare och vd för Temporal. I slutändan behöver företagen en förteckning över varje modell och agent – både godkända och skuggmodeller – med en tydlig överblick över vilka data var och en har åtkomst till, säger Abbas. – Vissa arbetsflöden kräver en sluten modell av högsta klass. Många gör det inte, och en öppen modell anpassad till interna data kommer att prestera bättre än en horisontell sluten modell.

An anonymous reader quotes a report fro SFGATE: From "rizz" to "meat proxy," words and phrases have fallen in and out of favor for centuries. Culture, politics and technological development have long influenced these trends, and now, new research shows that ChatGPT is beginning to influence how humans communicate. The findings from a team at the Pew Research Center show how, in a short time since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022 and other chatbots followed, the use of certain words and phrases has spiked on the web. The researchers, led by data scientist Samuel Bestvater, studied nearly half a million English language webpage texts in snapshots over the past five years. Not only has AI-written text become more common, but it could also be influencing how people write, such as trying to avoid using the "tells" that have become associated with AI-generated text. Bestvater and his team detected double the number of em dashes, double the frequency of particular words -- such as "delve," "testament" and "interplay" -- and nearly triple the use of a phrasing known as negative parallelisms ("it's not X, it's Y"), as well as a 63% increase in Oxford commas. But while AI labs continually try to tweak their models to generate more humanlike text, the people they're mimicking aren't staying the same. "Human writers might also be changing the way that they write in response to AI. I've seen some anecdotal evidence of people saying, 'Now I avoid em dashes,'" Bestvater said. "If human writers are adjusting their choices of words and phrases and punctuation to try to differentiate their writing from AI-generated text, then you would see a pattern that looks sort of like that in the chart." "You can see changes in people's speech. People are tending to more commonly use these low-frequency words in their speech because they're spending a lot of time listening to or reading AI-generated content," said Roger Kreuz, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Memphis who recently wrote about how difficult it is for people to identify bot-written text.

Hi all. Some context: I'm a mid level engineer at our company. I work on a sysadmin team building tooling for the team and wider project. I joined the team at the end of last year (so 10 around months ago). I have around 4 years experience which makes me the least experienced member on my team by quite a few years. Most of my experience is software dev though. I am a higher grade than a couple team members. (Including the team member I'm talking about in the post). I'm having difficulty with my co worker Derek. Derek, in the kindest way possible, is completely incompetent. He borderlines on reckless/careless. When I joined the team, I was almost straight away giving him help without really understanding much about the system we manage. Just with very basic things like PowerShell, some networking issues on his dev env, and all the rest of it. At first I was really pleased, it felt good to join a team and be able to troubleshoot right away for team members, like all my hard work from previous teams was paying off. My manager pointed it out and gave me praise at our 1-1 / Performance Review. All good I thought. The problem is: Derek is constantly asking me the SAME questions. It is far beyond a daily basis at this point. Every single day this week I have had to spend 1-3 hours with him troubleshooting things that nobody else has problems doing. I'm talking about processes that are almost entirely automated. Today he was updating a config file to import some policies, and everything was just fucked. I was genuinely speechless when I went over. He's, deleted all the files he should've kept (no other copies, just a nightmare). I had to tell him to delete his branch and start over. Once I fixed it, was helping him fill in his ticket, so he can submit for review, turns out, he read the ticket wrong. So the thing he asked for help with, was incorrect. 😅 I laughed it off and basically just did the entire ticket for him at his desk. (15-20 min job, he's been at it for 2 days). I feel like that; I'd get it if he was new. But he's been on the team 6 years. He has around 25 YOE. I know other people are well aware he's incompetent, but it's frustrating for me at this point. I'm clearly becoming his "go to". Rant over! How do I approach this with our manager? I'd hate to get him in trouble, but I need my time back. I've got some quite lengthy tickets I need done but I can't knuckle down and focus with his constant need for hand holding. Am I the asshole? Should I just accept he's simply not good? Or do I say something to him instead of our team lead? submitted by /u/beers [link] [comments]

Developers will have until February 2027 to meet new thresholds for memory and bitmap usage. To aid developers, Google is adding tools to flag apps that exceed the limits and help prevent slowdowns and crashes. TechCrunch reports: The company explains that the mobile industry is now facing "significant hardware supply constraints that are altering device memory availability," which can then, in turn, affect the consumer's experience with their devices. To address this, Google is now establishing new performance thresholds across several areas, like dynamic memory usage and bitmap usage. In addition, Google is adding code optimization requirements designed to prevent things like app slowdowns and crashes related to performance. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Tim Cook shared an inside look at the work he is doing behind the scenes as he prepares to step down as Apple's CEO next week. Cook has been preparing incoming CEO John Ternus for the transition over the last several months, and today he introduced Ternus to popular Pokémon character Pikachu. Cook said he and Ternus met with the Pokémon team to talk gaming. The accompanying video features Pikachu exploring the Apple Park campus, including dancing under the rainbow arch and picking an apple from the orchard. Today's agenda at Apple Park: Introduce the @Pokemon team to John, talk gaming, and politely ask Pikachu to stay out of the pond. Two out of three were accomplished. pic.twitter.com/KzirV3VX8U— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) August 27, 2026 It's not clear why the Pokémon team was at ‌Apple Park‌, but Cook first met Pikachu in September 2025 on a trip to Japan for the reopening of Apple Ginza in Tokyo. There are several Pokémon-themed games available on Apple's platforms, including Pokémon GO, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, Pokémon UNITE, and Pokémon Champions.Tags: John Ternus, Pokemon, Tim CookThis article, "Pikachu Visits Apple Park, Meets Tim Cook and John Ternus" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Wired reports that OpenAI is testing a new "Persistent mode" for Codex that would let the agent keep working until explicitly "put to sleep," proactively creating follow-up tasks for itself across sessions and using prior interactions and knowledge of the user to decide what to do next. Code alluding to the feature was spotted in the product's code base, though it has not been rolled out or officially announced yet. From the report: Persistent mode appears in Codex's "reasoning effort" menu, in which users can select the level of computing power, tokens, and time they want to allow for an AI model to "think" before answering a prompt. It seems to be one of OpenAI's most computationally intensive settings. When users have selected Persistent mode, OpenAI's code base reads that Codex will "continue working until put to sleep." That's a stark contrast to currently available modes, which will stop working on a task after a few minutes or hours, even if it's not complete. In another file in the code base, OpenAI describes a feature within Persistent mode called "proactivity." This appears to be a type of system prompt for agents in Persistent mode, which are told that their work is not done when they finish answering a user's request. Instead, the agent is instructed to proactively create follow-up tasks for itself. The agent is capable of working on those tasks across sessions and using past user interactions and "knowledge of the user" to decide what to work on. It also has a tool to message the user without being asked but is told to send these sparingly. The instructions also set limits for the agent, according to the file. The agent is told that Persistent mode does not expand what it is allowed to do and that altering anything outside the user's own system requires the user's approval first -- seemingly intended to limit how dangerous a persistent AI agent could be. The file sits in the shared core of Codex rather than in the code specific to the terminal, seeming to suggest the proactivity feature is intended for more than the command line tool.

Ring is rolling out a new default encryption system called TAKE, or "Throw Away the Key Encryption," that rotates video keys every five minutes and permanently deletes Ring's copy after 24 hours. The system is designed to preserve cloud features such as smart alerts and AI video search while limiting what Ring can provide under legal process to non-video account information and encrypted footage. The Verge reports: Ring says TAKE uses unique, rotating encryption keys for your footage, stored in a secure enclave and accessible only under strict conditions -- based on the features you enable on your account. Currently, footage captured by Ring cameras is encrypted in transit to the cloud and at rest, and then decrypted for Ring to process for those smart features. With TAKE, the encryption keys change for every five minutes of footage. Ring stores copies of those keys to decrypt the footage, but throws away each copy within 24 hours, "leaving you with the keys and full control of your videos," according to Ring. TAKE was developed using Messaging Layer Security, an open standard from the Internet Engineering Task Force, according to Ring. The company says it is "inspired by the privacy principles of E2EE (end-to-end encryption)," which Ring offers on some of its cameras. However, the two systems work differently. With E2EE, Ring never has the keys and can't process your video for cloud-based features. Both options are available on newer cameras that encrypt on-device, and you can switch between the two. Older cameras encrypt at cloud ingress and only support TAKE. According to a white paper the company published today, Ring's copy of those keys is managed inside an AWS Nitro Enclave, to which Ring's access is restricted by "access controls, cryptography, and hardware isolation." The company claims there is no persistent storage and no way for a Ring employee to access it. The stored keys can only be unlocked by the enclave through cryptographic attestation that proves it's running the exact software image Ring approved. The enclave releases a temporary key when an enabled service requests it. When asked about what happens if Ring is subpoenaed by law enforcement, a spokesperson for the company said: "Where TAKE is enabled, Ring will only be able to provide non-video information (such as basic subscriber information) and encrypted video files in response to the valid legal process. We have updated our Law Enforcement Guidelines to reflect this change." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Sysadmins Are About to Get More Tickets in September Any Microsoft Entra tenant with its FIDO2/Passkey registration campaign set to Microsoft-managed will begin prompting users to create an Entra passkey on September 1, 2026. In my opinion, this rollout is happening a little too early. Many organizations already using Windows Hello for Business (WHfB) may assume they are ready for Entra passkeys and take no action. The issue is that WHfB is recognized as a passkey by Windows 11, but it is not currently recognized as an Entra passkey associated with the user's online Microsoft/Entra account. As a result, users who already have WHfB configured may encounter an error when the registration campaign prompts them to create an Entra passkey. The process can fail because Windows detects that a passkey for that identity already exists in the local passkey store. Microsoft has acknowledged this gap and confirmed that WHfB should ultimately count as an Entra passkey. In Microsoft Message Center post MC1450134, Microsoft describes the fix: users with WHfB will automatically receive an auto-registered Entra passkey tied to their online Microsoft/Entra account sometime between October and November 2026. The timing by Microsoft is strange. The Entra passkey registration campaign begins in September, while the WHfB auto-registration fix is not expected until October or November. That mismatch could lead to user confusion and an increase in help desk tickets during the interim period. The error users may encounter when following Microsoft's process to add an Entra passkey while Windows Hello for Business is already configured. "Error: Try a different device. You already registered this device. You don't have to register it again." ## Disclaimer: info is based on my own testing. Your results may vary.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Documentation files on more than 100 websites are referencing potentially dangerous executable content that gets installed automatically when visited by many AI agents [including Claude, OpenAI's Codex, and Nous Research's Hermes]. A few dozen companies, some of them Fortune 500s, are among those that executed proof-of-concept code. At least one misconfigured site is directing visitors, human or AI, to live malware. The potentially dangerous content is in llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, an emerging convention websites employ to provide machine-readable summaries of the site's content and its high-level structure. These files are the AI equivalent of the robots.txt standard that instructs search engines how to index the site's content. Google Lighthouse, a tool for helping web developers, has more here. Correctly configured llms.txt and llms-full.txt files for Cloudflare are here and here. "The trust model is broken," Alon Hertz, one of the researchers, wrote in an interview. "Agents treat vendor docs as ground truth and don't question them -- and neither do the humans supervising them. Agentic AI usage is exploding, and agents are spreading across every layer -- SaaS, cloud, endpoint. As they multiply, so does the supply-chain surface, and today's guards don't cover it." "An agent doesn't distinguish between a page and a command," the researchers wrote Thursday. "Everything it reads is input, and every input is a potential instruction. Which means the entire corpus of published data that agents are now wired to consume has silently become an execution surface -- and almost none of it carries the integrity guarantees we apply to actual code."

Longtime Slashdot reader dhartshorn writes: Foreign-produced "bulk power" equipment is now effectively banned, and the list of what constitutes such equipment is essentially everything used to make up the grid... much of which we are heavily dependent on foreign sources to supply. In a Wednesday executive order, President Trump said foreign supply of electric equipment "constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat" to national security. The Hill reports: Under the order, it will be up to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, in coordination with other officials, to determine whether a piece of equipment poses an issue. The order could impact a wide range of equipment, including substations, transformers, batteries used for energy storage, generators, turbines, software and more. It does not lay out specific threats or single out any country by name. [...] Under the last Trump administration, the president put a similar order in place. The new order comes amid several reported cyberattacks on U.S. water systems, which officials suspect have links to Iran, according to The New York Times. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Panic is refunding Playdate customers the 19% tariff charges it passed along while the Trump administration's import duties were in effect, after the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal and the company began receiving refunds from the government. Panic says the money "just [wasn't] ours to keep." Ars Technica reports: In an update posted on the Playdate help site this week, Panic noted that it has finally "begun to receive refunds of the tariffs we paid in the last year" and had consequently "refunded all tariffs charged to customers." In the initial version of that tariff note, Panic explained that it couldn't afford to simply "absorb" the 19 percent tariffs it was being charged to import Playdate hardware made overseas because "our margins on Playdate are low." As such, while the tax was in effect, it was passed along to customers as an explicit subtotal line item at the bottom of all Playdate orders. That's in contrast to companies like Nintendo, which vaguely cited "market conditions" and tariff "uncertainty" in raising the asking price of legacy hardware and some Switch 2 accessories last year. Speaking to Game Developer, Panic co-founder Cabel Sasser said filing paperwork to claw back these taxes and processing tariff refunds for customers took a fair bit of backend work. Still, he said returning that money to Playdate purchasers in the end was a no-brainer. "It's just not our money to keep, and it felt really good to give it back," Sasser said. "That's an easy way to know you made the right decision." "It just felt like the right thing to do," Panic wrote in a refund email message shared on Reddit. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

As Exchange Online continues its multi-year directory modernization, we are evaluating the future of several long-standing identifier properties: ObjectGuid, SamAccountName, and DistinguishedName. Today, multiple properties can identify the same object in Exchange Online. While this has provided flexibility and compatibility, some of these identifiers reflect design decisions from an earlier era and can add complexity for customers building and maintaining automation, integrations, and administrative workflows. As part of our modernization efforts, we are exploring whether a smaller and more consistent set of identifiers could better support the future of the service. No decisions have been made. Before determining a path forward, we want to better understand how these properties are used today, what the impact of potential changes could be, and what alternatives, notice periods, and migration assistance customers would need. We are particularly interested in hearing from customers, partners, and solution providers who use these properties in scripts, automation, reporting, applications, provisioning systems, or operational processes. The potential changes discussed in this survey apply only to the Exchange Online directory and do not represent changes to on-premises Active Directory or Exchange Server. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey. Your feedback will help inform our evaluation and any future decisions in this area.

The Information reported on Wednesday that Nvidia has agreed to buy open-source platform Hugging Face for $12.9 billion. "Deal talks began after Hugging Face, an open-source AI platform developers use to collaborate, test and share tools, received acquisition interest from another suitor," reports CNBC, citing the (paywalled) report. Business Insider separately reported the acquisition talks. From CNBC: If completed, the acquisition would put one of the most widely used platforms for sharing and working with open-source AI models under Nvidia's ownership, expanding the chipmaker's reach further into the software and model ecosystem. Siddy Jobe, a fund manager at Eonopolis Exponential Technologies funds, said it made sense for Nvidia to target a company like Hugging Face, as Nvidia has made it clear that it is not looking to discriminate between closed and open-source models. "I think Nvidia is very much a community, a platform-based company, and in that respect, I think Hugging Face fits perfectly within that. There is this five-layer cake from Nvidia, and foundational models are one of them," Jobe told CNBC's Squawk Box Europe on Thursday. "It is clear that Nvidia wants to be integrated in the entire stack vertically, going from energy to foundational models and also to applications," he added. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Apple this week announced a new Mac Studio with the M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, discontinuing the M4 Max and M3 Ultra models that had been on sale since March 2025. The machine's design is unchanged for a fifth consecutive year, with all of the upgrades being internal. The table below details everything that changed regardless of whether you choose a Max or an Ultra chip. The two tables that follow break down the differences within each tier. What Changed Across Both Models Here's everything that differs between the 2025 and 2026 ‌Mac Studio‌ irrespective of configuration: ‌Mac Studio‌ (2025) ‌Mac Studio‌ (2026) Baseline SSD read and write speeds Next-generation SSD architecture built on PCIe Gen 6, with up to twice the read and write speeds Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) via the Apple-designed N1 chip Bluetooth 5.3 Bluetooth 6 Genlock over USB-C With the latest model, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 arrive on the ‌Mac Studio‌ for the first time, facilitated by the same N1 chip Apple introduced in the iPhone 17 lineup. Apple also says the new machine is made with 35% recycled content overall, including 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets. Mac Studio M4 Max vs. M5 Max Here's everything that differs between the M4 Max and M5 Max configurations: ‌Mac Studio‌ (M4 Max, 2025) ‌Mac Studio‌ (M5 Max, 2026) M4 Max chip M5 Max chip 14-core CPU, configurable to 16-core, with 12 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores 18-core CPU with 6 super cores and 12 performance cores 32-core GPU, configurable to 40-core 32-core GPU, configurable to 40-core, with Neural Accelerators built into every core and enhanced shader cores Second-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing Third-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing Up to 546GB/s memory bandwidth Up to 614GB/s memory bandwidth 36GB unified memory with the 32-core GPU, or 64GB with the 40-core GPU (128GB option withdrawn in May 2026) 36GB unified memory with the 32-core GPU, or 48GB, 64GB, or 128GB with the 40-core GPU Weighs 6.1 pounds (2.74 kg) Weighs 6.0 pounds (2.7 kg) Now discontinued Starts at $2,499 The most immediately useful change is at the entry level. The M4 Max started with a 14-core CPU and could be configured up to 16 cores, whereas the M5 Max has an 18-core CPU as standard with no CPU upgrade to buy. Apple has also changed its core architecture, dropping the performance and efficiency split in favor of 6 super cores and 12 performance cores. Mac Studio M3 Ultra vs. M5 Ultra The table below outlines every difference between the two Ultra configurations: ‌Mac Studio‌ (M3 Ultra, 2025) ‌Mac Studio‌ (M5 Ultra, 2026) M3 Ultra chip M5 Ultra chip 28-core CPU, configurable to 32-core, with 24 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores 30-core CPU, configurable to 36-core, with 12 super cores and 24 performance cores 60-core GPU, configurable to 80-core 64-core GPU, configurable to 80-core, with Neural Accelerators built into every core and enhanced shader cores First-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing Third-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing Dynamic Caching Second-generation Dynamic Caching 819GB/s memory bandwidth 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth 96GB, 256GB, or 512GB unified memory (512GB option withdrawn in March 2026 and the 256GB option withdrawn in May 2026) 96GB or 256GB unified memory, or 512GB with the 80-core GPU Now discontinued Starts at $5,499 Across both generations, the maximum GPU still contains 80 cores, the Neural Engine still contains 32 cores, display support and media engine is identical, storage still maxes out at 16TB, and maximum unified memory is still 512GB. The 1.2TB/s of bandwidth feeding that memory, which is 50% higher than before, and the Neural Accelerators for each GPU core, are among the key changes. How Big Are the Upgrades? Apple's own comparisons against the outgoing chips are heavily weighted toward AI and graphics. For the M5 Max against the M4 Max, Apple claims: Up to 3.9x faster LLM prompt processing in LM Studio Up to 3.5x faster text-to-image performance Up to 3x faster Magic Mask performance in Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Studio Up to 1.9x faster basecalling for DNA sequencing in Oxford Nanopore MinKNOW Up to 50% faster graphics performance For the M5 Ultra against the M3 Ultra, Apple claims: Up to 4.3x faster text-to-image performance Up to 4x faster LLM prompt processing in LM Studio Up to 3.3x faster CopyCat ML training performance in Foundry Nuke Up to 1.8x faster graphics performance Up to 1.7x faster scene rendering performance in Maxon Redshift Up to 1.3x higher multithreaded CPU performance On either chip, tasks that use matrix multiplication can run three to four times faster thanks to new Neural Accelerators in each GPU core. Which to Choose? Apple no longer sells the M4 Max or M3 Ultra models, which became relatively poor value for money by the end of their run. The M4 Max cost $2,499 with a 14-core CPU and up to 64GB of memory. For the same price, the M5 Max has an 18-core CPU, 614GB/s memory bandwidth, up to 128GB of memory, twice-fast storage, and Wi‑Fi 7. The M3 Ultra ended at $5,299 with a 96GB memory limit. For $200 more, the M5 Ultra brings back 256GB and 512GB options and adds 50% more memory bandwidth. Current M4 Max and M3 Ultra owners generally do not need to upgrade after only 17 months. Launch buyers paid $1,999 or $3,999, so replacing their machine now costs 25–38% more for the same design, ports, Ultra core limits, storage limit, and Media Engine. The main exception is AI-heavy work. Local LLMs, on-device image or video generation, and demanding machine-learning tasks in applications like DaVinci Resolve or Nuke can benefit substantially from the new Neural Accelerators. The M5 Ultra's 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth can also improve large-model token generation. The upgrade makes more sense for M1 or M2 ‌Mac Studio‌ owners. Apple says the M5 Max can process prompts up to 10.7× faster than the M1 Max, while the M5 Ultra can train ML models up to 15.4× faster than the M1 Ultra. Older models also lack Thunderbolt 5, AV1 decoding, and the newer Media Engine. If you already skipped the 2025 refresh, this is a more meaningful step forward. The 2025 models are mainly worth considering used or refurbished at a steep discount. Apple raised prices in June, so lightly discounted older stock is often too close in price to a new model. One notable exception is an M3 Ultra with 256GB or 512GB of memory, since those configurations were unavailable new for much of 2026 and M5 Ultra equivalents will not ship until later this year. When configuring, buyers should remember that memory and graphics are linked. The M5 Max always has an 18-core CPU, so the key choices are GPU and memory. More than 36GB of memory requires the 40-core GPU. With the M5 Ultra, 512GB of memory requires the 80-core GPU. If memory is your limit, as it often is for local AI tasks, you may need to pay for more GPU cores too. Apple says the 512GB M5 Ultra arrives in late October, with pricing expected to start above $10,000. The M5 Ultra is now Apple's highest-end Mac. Apple discontinued the Mac Pro in March, seemingly with no plans for a replacement. There is no higher end Mac to wait for and no internal expansion path beyond adding a second machine. Pre-orders are now open, with all but the 512GB model arriving on September 22. All M5 Ultra configurations now show a shipping time of 10–12 weeks in the United States.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Operation Bluebird, the Virginia-based startup trying to revive the allegedly abandoned "Twitter" name and logo, announced Monday that it has launched its new social media network: Twitter.now. "We are a small company, we have investors, and we have a product," Stephen Coates, one of Operation Bluebird's cofounders, told Ars. "And we have waited months and months to launch, and we are not going to wait anymore." [...] Twitter.now, still in its nascent stage, only has hundreds of users for the time being. The social media network looks and feels much like the Twitter of old and many of its offshoots -- it has replies and retweets. A new and notable feature is the automated fact-checking tool, a Gemini-based "veracity engine for real-time analysis" ("Vera" for short), which runs on every tweet. Coates has been testing Vera in recent days by posting obviously false messages, like "George Washington was our second president." "Our first goal is to see if we can truly bring back a town square that's safer and less harmful," he said. "We say freedom of speech and not freedom of reach. We want people to say what they want, but we also want to create a platform that's not financially locked into that viral content that's harmful or inaccurate." Operation Bluebird argues that Elon Musk effectively abandoned the Twitter brand and trademarks when he renamed the company X, opening the door for the startup to claim them. X Corp. sued to stop the effort, but a federal judge tentatively ruled in April that X appeared to have relinquished rights to "tweet," the bird logo, and possibly "Twitter" itself, though no written ruling has been issued. Bluebird has taken that as enough of a green light to move forward while emphasizing that its new Twitter is not affiliated with X. "Operation Bluebird, Inc. picked up the name X Corp. walked away from and is rebuilding it on trust, in your browser at twitter.now," it states prominently on its website. "We are not X, and we are not affiliated with X Corp." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

SPONSORED FEATURE: Verify and survive: your backup isn't real 'til you test it

Reuters reports that Meta explored shrinking some teams by as much as 60% as part of an "AI native" restructuring plan that would shift much of employees' day-to-day work to AI agents and smaller teams of human "builders." But the effort quickly ran into employee revolt and disappointing productivity gains, leading Zuckerberg to scrap a planned second wave of cuts after Meta laid off 10% of its workforce in May. From the report: In January, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his top lieutenants gathered for their annual leadership retreat at his Hawaii compound. There they hatched a radical plan to reimagine work at the social-media giant in the age of artificial intelligence. Code-named Project OT -- short for Organization Transformation -- the plan envisioned an "AI native" future for the owner of Facebook and Instagram. AI would take over much of the daily work performed by thousands of human employees. Virtual workers would be overseen inside Meta by smaller, "talent-dense" cadres of human staffers, according to one internal planning document reviewed by Reuters and three people familiar with the project. In scenario-planning exercises, two of these people said, executives explored slashing the size of many teams across Meta by as much as 60%. Some employees would be offered roles in new units, while others would be laid off as part of a culling that one human-resources executive projected would be as big as or bigger than the company's cuts of around 25% three years ago, according to another internal document. The restructuring would be carried out in two "waves," beginning with a first purge in May and followed by another shake-up in November, internal planning documents seen by Reuters showed. Layoffs would be supplemented with the closing of open positions and pushing people out who Meta believed were poor performers. These and other details of the plan, including the scale of the restructuring, haven't been previously reported. AI would take over much of the daily work performed by thousands of human employees. Virtual workers would be overseen inside Meta by smaller, "talent-dense" cadres of human staffers. But on the night of May 19, just hours before the first layoff wave, Zuckerberg blinked. Meta laid off 10% of its employees the next day, but it called off planning for the November cuts, according to one internal document reviewed by Reuters. By then, Meta employees were in open revolt, convinced that the company's AI transformation initiatives were partly aimed at replacing them. Internal data was also suggesting that autonomous AI "agent" technology at the heart of the strategy was failing to deliver hoped-for productivity gains. Some investors were questioning what Meta had to show for its gargantuan spending on AI. This article reveals for the first time the rapid pace of the cuts Meta was considering, the thinking behind the plans and how they quickly unraveled. Based on scores of internal documents, posts and recordings reviewed by Reuters, as well as conversations with more than 20 people with knowledge of Meta's inner workings, the reporting shows how the social-media giant attempted to position itself at the forefront of an AI-driven workplace overhaul, only to stumble in the execution.

"It just felt like the right thing to do."

I'm an IT "Director" of a school. I'm the IT guy but the sole owner of everything and end decision maker. The title sounds much fancier than it is but it accurately captures my level of ownership. Day to day, I'm more like a sys admin. I wasn't totally qualified for this position when I got it and I have done my best in the past few years to grow in to it. But I'm noticing that I can not seem to catch up to the technology. Every day it seems like I have a new problem on my hands that I have never seen or heard of before. Bluetooth intermittently connecting and disconnecting from a computer even with driver refresh, domain desync issues happening sporadically so computers lose access, laptops that simply won't connect to wifi until a local account is logged in, adobe licensing that won't validate even with the (poorly documented) tool kits provided by adobe. I can't tell if I'm just incompetent and need to read a million books or something or if the technology just seems to be disintegrating into a pool over overly complex, poorly developed, and greedy corporate structures. A new windows feature hits and it seems to make my life much harder. Until recently, I didn't look into VTI, VMD, or the RAID configurations coming out with most laptops these days that make fresh installs or imaging impossible when enabled. Printers do not seem to have easily accessed, consistent driver support that is stable long term. Microsoft 365 admin features and account management seems to get worse every day (I gave someone access to a shared mailbox and it kept denying them access for nearly a week, trying to add each day, until is suddenly worked with no changes on my end at all). One of our film labs uses ACVHD format and Premier Pro but with a new windows update Premier Pro can no longer see or access AC3 audio codex. A whole group of Lenovo E16s won't connect to a particular wireless display via the wireless transmitter supplied with the display despite every other laptop model we have working just fine. Every single printer seems to jam every day even with maintenance techs working on them. The problem is that any one of these would take me a few hours to troubleshoot and diagnose but I'm getting 2 or 3 of these every single day. I can't seem to keep up and I don't know if it's my own incompetence and inability to maintain a stable environment or if technology is just getting impossible to maintain. I'm open to suggestions, on the broader management item or any of the issues I'm currently managing. But mostly I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is feeling similarly.

The new Mac mini and Mac Studio models announced by Apple this week are "slated to ship" with macOS Golden Gate, according to Daring Fireball's John Gruber. Apple's product pages for the new Mac mini and Mac Studio models mention macOS Golden Gate features such as Siri AI, providing further evidence that the computers will ship with the latest operating system, instead of macOS Tahoe. In addition, FCC documents and other evidence uncovered by MacRumors all point towards the new Macs coming with macOS Golden Gate preinstalled. "The new Mac mini comes to life with the upcoming macOS 27, which includes Siri AI, a profoundly more capable and personal assistant; helpful Apple Intelligence features across everyday apps; and an expansive set of improvements that make the Mac even more responsive and reliable," said Apple, in a press release. Apple said the new Mac mini and Mac Studio will be released on Tuesday, September 22, so macOS Golden Gate would need to be released before that date if the computers will ship with that operating system. Based on historical patterns, macOS Golden Gate will most likely be released during the week of Monday, September 14.Related Roundup: macOS Golden GateThis article, "Apple's New Macs to Ship With macOS Golden Gate" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

AI’s water footprint is growing, but location and cooling technology make a difference.

As SaaS giant gets a boost from Claudeforce, users might want to know how their AI use will be monetized

IntroductionDespite modern verification controls, identity theft remains one of the most pervasive threats to both individuals and enterprise organizations. U.S. Federal Trade Commission statistics show over 1 million identity theft reports annually, with related fraud and imposter scams accounting for billions in financial losses each year. While stolen credit cards enable rapid, short-term monetization, Social Security numbers (SSNs) represent a far more permanent and dangerous tier within the cybercrime ecosystem, because unlike payment cards, they cannot simply be deactivated. Once exposed, an SSN can support enabling unauthorized lines of credit, synthetic identity fraud, and sophisticated tax scams.When exposed identity data belongs to corporate executives, board members, and other high-profile employees, the risk can extend beyond the individual. Threat actors target these high-profile individuals not just for their premium credit profiles, but to leverage their compromised identities for executive impersonation, corporate espionage, and downstream extortion. Rapid7’s recent alert telemetry underscores the severity of this targeted exposure: since early 2026 alone, we identified 476 instances of compromised SSN records across 395 unique corporate personnel. Over 73% of these exposures directly targeted top-level leadership, with C-suite executives comprising 44.6% of affected profiles and Presidents making up another 28.6%. Unsurprisingly, given the geographical nature of SSNs, 95.6% of these leaks stemmed from U.S.-headquartered organizations, concentrated heavily in high-value sectors like Financials (over 25%) and Industrials (17%).In this blog, we explore the operational mechanics of the underground identity economy, focusing on three dominant SSN marketplaces tracked by Rapid7: Xilo, Bankom, and PeopleFinder, which together account for 81.5% of all executive SSN leaks in our dataset (led by Xilo at 40.8%, Bankom at 21.8%, and PeopleFinder at 18.9%). Using Rapid7 alert telemetry from the past year, we look at the profiles of affected corporate executives, how these marketplaces operate, and highlight how proactive dark web monitoring can mitigate upstream identity exposure before it is weaponized.Why stolen SSNs retain their valueNot all stolen data retains its value for the same length of time. Leaked credentials can be reset, payment cards can be cancelled, and session tokens eventually expire. While these data types remain highly sought after by cybercriminals, their usefulness often depends on acting quickly before the victim or service provider invalidates them.SSNs differ as they are effectively permanent, serving as a core identity attribute. Once exposed, they can remain valuable for years, enabling a wide range of fraud schemes long after the original breach. When combined with other personally identifiable information (PII), such as a victim's name, date of birth, address, phone number, and employment history, an SSN becomes the foundation of a comprehensive identity profile that can be bought, sold, and repeatedly abused across the criminal ecosystem.These identity profiles enable far more than traditional identity theft. Threat actors use them to open fraudulent financial accounts, create synthetic identities, bypass identity verification processes, file fraudulent tax or government benefit claims, and support highly targeted social engineering campaigns. Rather than serving a single purpose, a complete identity record becomes a reusable asset that can be monetized multiple times by different threat actors.For corporate executives and other high-profile employees, exposed identity data can also create risk for the organization they represent. Publicly available information, from regulatory filings to corporate biographies and social media, can be combined with stolen identity data to build highly detailed profiles. These enriched records increase the credibility of phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and executive impersonation attacks, allowing threat actors to target not only the individual but also the organization they represent.This durability has fueled a thriving underground economy where identity records are treated as searchable, reusable inventory rather than one-time commodities. The marketplaces examined in this research demonstrate just how mature and accessible this ecosystem has become.Anatomy of an SSN marketplaceWhile platforms like Xilo, Bankomat, and PeopleFinder present a highly organized, user-friendly storefront, they operate strictly as downstream clearinghouses rather than original creators of their inventory. The vast supply of SSNs flooding these networks relies on a distinct, multi-tiered underground supply chain. The massive volume driving these platforms is primarily fueled by large-scale institutional network breaches, where wholesale hackers compromise data aggregators, healthcare systems, and financial providers. These massive SQL databases are sold in bulk on deep-web forums, where marketplace administrators purchase, parse, and upload them into their searchable storefronts. According to annual telemetry from the Identity Theft Resource Center, billions of individual data records are exposed annually through these mega-breaches, accounting for the vast majority of the inventory available online.Another source of identity data comes from infostealer malware and targeted phishing campaigns. While mass breaches provide wholesale numbers, infostealers scrape highly contextual local data, such as saved browser forms and PDF documents like tax returns or corporate onboarding paperwork stored on unmanaged personal devices. When these localized logs are parsed by marketplace administrators, they yield the fresh, high-value identity profiles that allow buyers to target specific corporate leaders.Although these platforms tap into a similar upstream supply chain, how they package and monetize this data varies significantly. To stand out in a maturing, highly competitive cybercrime market, each marketplace focuses on its own operational niche, ranging from ultra-low pricing and identity enrichment features to multi-asset carding integration and legacy data consistency. The following sections provide a deep dive into each marketplace, highlighting their specific functionalities, user interfaces, and distinct market advantages.Xilo Xilo has been active since at least March 2025. The marketplace is hosted as a Tor hidden service, while also maintaining mirror sites on the clear web to improve accessibility and resilience.Users can search for specific individuals by name, state, country (US or Canada), or year of birth (Figure 1). They can also request records that include phone numbers and email addresses in addition to the victim's SSN. This can increase the value of the records by reducing the need for threat actors to source additional PII elsewhere. During our analysis, however, we did not identify any records that included email addresses, while records containing phone numbers were available at the same price as standard SSN records. Search results can also be sorted by price, although the cost appears to be fixed at $0.25 per SSN record.Figure 1 – Xilo search interface⠀Search results typically display the victim's full name, physical address, and date of birth before purchase. This information alone can help threat actors identify specific individuals for targeted campaigns, while the SSN is revealed only after the purchase is completed (Figure 2).Figure 2 – Xilo search results⠀In addition to standard searches, Xilo offers a reverse lookup service that accepts an SSN or phone number and returns additional PII, including the victim's full name and phone number (Figure 3). This service costs $0.50 per lookup, suggesting that enriching an existing identity profile is considered more valuable than purchasing an SSN alone. Threat actors can use this functionality to expand records obtained through the standard search, increasing the amount of PII associated with a single individual and, consequently, the potential for identity fraud.Figure 3 – Xilo reverse search⠀The marketplace is supported by a Telegram channel used to announce technical updates and new domains. Although activity on the channel has been relatively limited, it has attracted more than 500 subscribers, providing an indication of interest in the service. Like many established cybercriminal services, Xilo appears prepared for domain disruptions by maintaining alternative access points and communicating them through Telegram, adopting the kind of resilience and service-continuity practices more commonly associated with legitimate online services.Xilo accepts several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Ether, and Tether (USDT). Support for USDT is relatively uncommon among underground marketplaces and may reflect the marketplace's focus on US-based identity data. The minimum deposit is just $1, lowering the barrier to entry for new users, while bonuses are offered for deposits exceeding $100 to encourage larger account balances.Beyond its own infrastructure, Xilo actively advertises on well-known cybercrime forums, including XSS, as well as carding communities such as WWH-Club and Altenens (Figure 4). This marketing strategy is common among underground marketplaces seeking to expand their customer base. More notably, Xilo's presence on carding-focused forums highlights the close relationship between stolen payment data and identity information, illustrating how different segments of the cybercrime ecosystem increasingly overlap and complement one another.Figure 4 – Xilo advertisement on AltenensBankomatActive since at least March 2022, Bankomat is one of the more established marketplaces operating in the underground identity theft ecosystem. The platform is accessible as a Tor hidden service while maintaining multiple clear web domains to improve availability. Its emergence coincided with the shutdown of several prominent carding and PII marketplaces, including Joker's Stash and SSNDOB Marketplace, suggesting that Bankomat sought to capitalize on the resulting gap by combining identity data sales with traditional carding services.The marketplace prominently lists its active domains and encourages users to save its onion address, describing it as the most reliable way to access the service. This reflects an awareness of the operational challenges faced by long-running underground marketplaces, particularly the risk of domain seizures and takedowns. By maintaining multiple access points and actively directing users toward its Tor service, Bankomat demonstrates the operational maturity needed to retain its customer base despite infrastructure disruptions.Users can search for individuals by first and last name, combined with an additional identifier such as state, city, ZIP code, or date of birth (Figure 5). The search functionality is free, allowing users to identify potential victims before deciding whether to purchase a record. Search results display the victim's full name, date of birth, and physical addresses, while the SSN is revealed only after purchase at a fixed cost of $4 per record. Unlike Xilo, however, Bankomat does not offer additional identity enrichment services or the ability to purchase supplementary PII directly through the platform.Figure 5 – Bankomat search bar⠀Beyond SSN records, Bankomat also functions as a traditional carding marketplace by offering stolen payment card details for sale, obtained through third-party sellers. The platform supports card validation services, including Viper and 4chk, allowing buyers to verify whether stolen payment cards remain active before using or reselling them. Similar functionality is offered by established carding marketplaces, such as Findsome and UltimateShop.This combination of identity records, payment card data, and validation tools positions Bankomat as a one-stop marketplace for financially motivated threat actors. Rather than sourcing stolen identities and payment data from separate platforms, buyers can acquire multiple data types associated with the same victim through a single service. While SSN records cost $4, stolen payment card details are typically advertised for approximately $10, suggesting that Bankomat places greater commercial emphasis on its carding business, likely reflecting both higher profit margins and sustained demand within the underground economy (Figure 6).Figure 7 – PeopleFinder SSN listings⠀Bankomat currently accepts payments exclusively in Bitcoin, in contrast to newer marketplaces that increasingly support a wider range of cryptocurrencies to appeal to a broader customer base.PeopleFinderActive since at least February 2023, PeopleFinder is a successor to the SSNDOB Marketplace, whose primary domains were seized by law enforcement in June 2022. Following that takedown, the service re-emerged through a network of lookup mirrors using clear-web-sounding domain names such as “PeopleFinder.” The connection is also visible in the source code, where the front-end login page retains the original “ssndob” title text and logo. Through this infrastructure, the platform provides access to the same legacy database of more than 24 million compromised U.S. PII records.To maintain a steady customer stream, PeopleFinder actively advertises its database on high-profile cybercrime and carding forums like WWH-Club and Exploit. This deliberate marketing keeps the service highly visible to financially motivated threat actors seeking verification tools for downstream fraud.The layout itself is highly streamlined, featuring a basic search bar that closely mirrors Bankomat's interface. Users can search the platform's database by name, date of birth, or physical address completely free of charge. The initial search output displays the victim's full name, date of birth, and associated physical addresses, allowing a threat actor to confirm they have targeted the correct corporate executive before paying for the record (Figure 7).Figure 7 – PeopleFinder SSN listingsTo reveal the hidden SSN, users must pay a fixed cost of $1.50 per lookup, putting its pricing structure right between Xilo and Bankomat. This strict, hyper-commoditized focus solely on core SSN details directly mirrors the operational blueprint of the original SSNDOB model. Rather than expanding into supplementary data types like phone numbers or credit cards, the operators chose to preserve their highly efficient, legacy pay-per-lookup infrastructure. The platform relies exclusively on Bitcoin transactions.What Rapid7 telemetry reveals about the executive threat landscapeBy monitoring dark web SSN marketplaces, Rapid7 actively alerts clients when leaked records of their executives or designated employees are discovered.Since the beginning of 2026, our telemetry has identified 476 instances of compromised SSN records, representing 395 unique individuals, as several monitored personnel were affected by multiple exposures. Within this sample, most of the leaked SSNs were recorded in Xilo (40.8%), followed by Bankom (21.8%) and PeopleFinder (18.9%) (Figure 8).Figure 8 – The sample distribution of leaked SSNs by marketplace⠀Given that SSNs are issued within the United States, the overwhelming majority of compromised records in our dataset, 95.6%, were linked to organizations headquartered in the U.S., with others located in Spain, Canada, and Japan, trailing significantly behind (Figure 9).Figure 9 – The sample distribution of leaked SSNs by country⠀Financials represented the largest sector in our sample, accounting for more than a quarter of organizations whose monitored executives appeared in leaked SSN records, followed by Industrials at 17% (Figure 10). One possible reason for the concentration in Financials is the volume and sensitivity of customer and employee data these organizations hold, including PII and tax-related information, which can make exposed identities particularly valuable to threat actors. Industrials may also present attractive targets because of their interconnected supply chains, where compromised identities can potentially support broader fraud, impersonation, or access attempts across partner ecosystems.Figure 10 – The sample distribution of leaked SSNs by sector⠀A closer analysis of the roles of targeted personnel reveals that C-suite executives (such as Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers) make up the largest portion at 44.6%. Presidential positions represent the second-largest segment at 28.6%, while functional management and administrative roles account for 13.9% of the compromised profiles.These findings may reflect a natural monitoring bias, since organizations are more likely to prioritize senior personnel whose compromise poses a greater security risk. Even with that caveat, the concentration among senior leadership reinforces why executive identity exposure deserves specific attention.Compromised executive PII can support targeted phishing, impersonation, and other social engineering campaigns against both the individual and the organization they represent.Role CategoryKey Roles IncludedUnique Target Count% of Unique TargetsExecutive Leadership (C-Suite)CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CIO, Chief Revenue/Human Resources Officers17644.6%Presidents & Vice PresidentsPresident, SVP, EVP, Regional Vice Presidents11328.6%Functional Management & AdminDirectors, Heads of Departments, Managers, Executive Assistants5513.9%Legal, Partner & AdvisoryManaging Members, Partners, Corporate/Securities Attorneys338.4%Board, Governance & OfficialsBoard Trustees, Directors of the Board, State Senators, Vice Chairs184.6%Total Unique Individuals395100.0%From detection to action: Responding to exposed executive PIIBecause SSNs cannot simply be reset after exposure, organizations need a way to identify compromised executive PII early and determine what action can reduce the resulting risk.These alerts are triggered using customer-defined assets, specifically the names of designated VIPs. When a potential match is flagged, Rapid7 analysts conduct preliminary OSINT verification, checking biographical details such as the VIP's date of birth and primary locations, to confirm the listing's accuracy before issuing an alert to the customer.Once alerted, customers can choose to purchase the exposed SSN record directly through the "Ask-an-Analyst" service using their allocated dark web purchase credits (Figure 11). This capability allows security teams to inspect the full record, verify whether the exposed SSN is genuine, and determine whether additional protective measures are necessary for the affected executive. Furthermore, on platforms like Xilo, purchasing the listing removes the record from the marketplace entirely, actively taking it off the shelf before other threat actors can acquire it.Figure 11 – Rapid7 Platform alert about the leaked details of a company executiveConclusion and strategic defense actionsThe illicit marketplaces examined by Rapid7 show how cheaply and efficiently stolen identity data can now be searched, purchased, and enriched. For executives and other high-profile employees, an exposed SSN can remain useful to threat actors long after the original compromise and may support identity fraud, social engineering, executive impersonation, or business email compromise. Because that information cannot simply be reset, organizations should treat executive identity exposure as an ongoing security risk.To reduce that risk, executive protection and security teams should consider the following actions:Monitor executive exposure on the dark web: Use digital risk protection capabilities configured with executive names, known locations, titles, and other relevant identifiers to detect compromised PII across illicit marketplaces and underground channels.Use removal or takedown options where available: Where supported, work with security providers to acquire or remove exposed identity records before they are purchased and reused by other threat actors.Reduce executives’ public digital footprint: Review public records, data-broker listings, corporate biographies, and social media profiles to limit unnecessary exposure of information such as dates of birth, home addresses, and phone numbers that can be used to enrich stolen records.Require out-of-band verification for sensitive requests: Introduce mandatory secondary confirmation for financial transactions, access requests, or administrative changes involving executive accounts to reduce the risk of successful impersonation.Provide targeted phishing and impersonation training: Give C-suite members, board members, and executive assistants focused guidance on how attackers can combine leaked PII with social engineering to make phishing and impersonation attempts more convincing.The persistence of SSNs means the risk does not end when the original breach is discovered. Ongoing monitoring, rapid validation, and stronger verification controls can help organizations identify exposure earlier, reduce the value of stolen identity data, and make it harder for threat actors to turn compromised executive information into a wider attack against the business.

Unfortunately I now have one of those scary stories to tell. The worst one of my career. We’re hybrid at the moment (I know, I know… fully cloud is the goal), and someone on my team was adding new policies to Entra Sync and did a full sync to test. Then users started saying their accounts didn’t exist. One became two. Two became ten. Then we realised accounts were being deleted automatically. At first we had absolutely no idea what was happening and immediately start thinking cyber innocent. Then we started losing admin accounts too. Thankfully, we had a break-glass cloud account, managed to get in, stopped the sync and restored everything from the recycle bin. But this was during a change freeze. Business critical time too. And I’m sat there watching users disappear. That feeling when you’re responsible for IT and you see the whole org going. submitted by /u/TerrificGiraffe [link] [comments]

I got the rejection and I wrote back a very succinct email thanking them for their time and saying that I agreed and that it didn't feel like a good fit because it turned out to not be the infra maintenance and operations job duties that we had talked about during the screening call and it felt more like an architecture and development role. A few days later she wrote back thanking me saying that it's been a very hard role to fill and any feedback is appreciated. I wasn't really intending it as feedback, I was just genuinely saying I agree I don't think this was an ideal fit for either party. But it just goes back to how ridiculous hiring teams are being and have been the past 16 years. The way that person interviewed me isn't ever going to allow them to actually find a good candidate. The interview just wasn't conducive to that. The job post had nine bullet points and we went over the first part of the first bullet point for 95% of the interview. Never touching on any other bullet. They're having a hard time because of how the main person / driver in the interview isn't conducting it like an actual interview. The two people that I interviewed with came across as like they felt important. Like they felt smarter than people around them because they happen to have the job. I don't really know how to explain it but we've all encountered people like this. Where basically the job and things that come with a job give them this self image. And I felt like they were trying to basically reinforce that self-image rather than conduct the interview. ​​But the questions themselves were not reasonable. No one is going to come into a limited time interview and build out the fictional environment they wanted built out with no information and no specifics and the more you ask the less they give. There's just no target to hit and when you ask for one, they just make it more cryptic. That's why they're having trouble finding someone to fill this role. But it goes beyond that. What they're interviewing for isn't what they advertised. It just made me feel good for some odd reason when she wrote back a few days later saying that they were having trouble filling this role. It made me feel a lot better about myself. Take care and good luck. submitted by /u/SamOakTree [link] [comments]

CISA has added three new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2023-49105 ownCloud Improper Authentication Vulnerability CVE-2026-53362 Linux Kernel Unspecified Vulnerability CVE-2026-66384 JFrog Artifactory Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04: Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk establishes vulnerability management requirements for Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies. BOD 26-04 reinforces the importance of the KEV Catalog and requires federal agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of high-risk vulnerabilities, specifically those identified by Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) listed in CISA’s KEV Catalog on publicly exposed assets that grant total control of the asset post-exploitation, while deferring action for lower-risk vulnerabilities. BOD 26-04 further establishes basic expectations for when agencies must check whether threat actors compromised the system before the patch was applied. While BOD 26-04 applies only to FCEB agencies, CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management and prioritize remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria. Aware of an exploited vulnerability not currently listed in the KEV Catalog? Submit it for potential addition through CISA’s KEV Nomination Form. Potential KEV additions must have a CVE ID, evidence of exploitation, and clear mitigation guidance.

Apple's logo for its upcoming September 9 "Surprise and shine" event hints at two rumored iPhone 18 Pro features, including new color options and a new camera system. Apple fans often like to read into Apple's event invite graphics for clues about unreleased products, and this year Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is also taking part in the fun on Twitter (X). First, Gurman says he sees the shining light behind Apple's logo as a nod to the "mechanical aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro Max." MacRumors has been reporting since 2024 that Apple could introduce a variable aperture camera on the iPhone 18 Pro models – a first for any iPhone. However, a recent rumor out of China suggests the feature could be exclusive to the larger Pro Max model. With a variable lens, the iPhone 18 Pro Max could allow users to manually shift the aperture, similar to on a DSLR camera. It could mean more control over depth of field and bright light, enabling sharper focus on subjects. That all depends on how Apple implements the feature, of course. It may be more automated than that. Second, Gurman links the sky blue color of the event invite to a "possible new iPhone 18 Pro color." According to Macworld, Apple will likely introduce the device in Light Blue, alongside Dark Cherry (the new headline color), Dark Gray, and Silver. What I am seeing: - Shining light = mechanical aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro Max- Sky Blue color = Possible new iPhone 18 Pro color. https://t.co/MHQ21LmT9U— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) August 26, 2026 It's not like we have much longer to wait to find out whether these takes are correct. Apple's event is less than two weeks away.

Apple today announced a new Apple Education Center in Hanoi to expand training and skill development programs for employees across its supply chain in Vietnam. The new center is the first of its kind in the country and will begin offering courses this fall, operating in partnership with Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). Apple and its partners already run almost 20 educational programs for supplier employees in Vietnam. Courses will combine both online and in-person learning, covering areas including manufacturing, robotics, and automation technology. The center will also offer leadership and soft skills training aimed at helping workers advance in their current roles or move into new career paths. The new center is the latest initiative funded by Apple's $50 million Supplier Employee Development Fund, a global program the company launched in 2022. Apple said more than 9 million education and training sessions have been delivered via the fund so far, and more than 108,000 supplier employees have taken part in its Swift programming courses since 2017. The fund also supports workplace rights education and health programs covering broader topics such as health and fitness programming, mental health, and disease screening.Tags: Education, VietnamThis article, "Apple Announces New Education Center in Vietnam" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Alla inom teknikbranschen är entusiastiska över agentbaserad AI. Åtminstone ända fram till det ögonblick då agenten börjar agera mindre som en underordnad och mer som en herre. Till exempel var en av mina vänner med mig och tittade på en fotbollsmatch under lunchen häromdagen, och berättade att hans agenter var kvar på kontoret och skrev kod åt honom. Det är den goda sortens agent. Men sedan finns det Open AI:s skurkaktiga agenter som hackar sig in i Hugging Face (och andra), plus Anthropics Claude (och andras) agenter som gör samma sak. Eller Claude-agenten som hackar ett bokningssystem för ett gym. Vissa agenter gillar vi. Andra gillar vi inte. Ordet ”agent” har flera betydelser. Vi gillar det när det betyder ”en som är bemyndigad att agera för eller i stället för en annan”. Vi gillar det mindre när det betyder ”någon som agerar eller utövar makt”, ibland utan vår tillsyn (eller med vårt tillstånd men utan att vi har tänkt igenom konsekvenserna av vår ofullständiga vägledning). Min känsla är att vi befinner oss i den ”tonåriga” fasen av agentbaserad AI. Vi fostrar nya applikationskonstruktioner samtidigt som vi upptäcker att de ofta inte gör vad vi vill eller förväntar oss. Kommer även detta att gå över? Det vet ingen ännu. Men det finns sätt att styra agentiskt beteende. En veckopeng för en tonårig agent En av de viktigaste begränsningarna vi kan ålägga agenterna är ekonomisk. Minns ni HTTP 402? Tja, vi kanske äntligen börjar använda den här statuskoden från 1990-talet som betyder ”betalning krävs”. AI-agenter behöver ett sätt att betala för API:er, data, dataresurser och innehåll medan de arbetar, och plötsligt verkar 402 vara en förutseende åtgärd. Men det här är inte det mest intressanta. Vi har länge vetat hur man får datorer att flytta (eller inte flytta) pengar. Det nya och intressanta är att avgöra hur mycket bedömningsutrymme som ska delegeras i samband med detta. AWS har nyligen gjort Agent Core Payments allmänt tillgängligt, vilket gör det möjligt för agenter att upptäcka och betala för API:er, Model Context Protocol-servrar och innehåll bakom betalväggar som en del av sitt normala arbetsflöde. Lang Chain har redan lagt till mellanprogramvara för samma funktion. Om detta låter som tråkig teknik, så är det till stor del just det. Trots det säger kontrollerna kring det tekniska arbetet oss något viktigt om vad en ”agent” egentligen är. En traditionell applikation genomför en betalning eftersom en utvecklare uttryckligen har programmerat villkoren. En agent kan välja tjänsten, avgöra att tjänsten är relevant för sitt mål, bedöma priset och initiera köpet. I den meningen agerar den som en agent i den äldre, juridiska betydelsen av termen: en representant som är bemyndigad att agera på uppdrag av en huvudman. Denna befogenhet har betydligt större konsekvenser än att anropa ett API. Föreställ dig nu att du ber en researchagent att utarbeta en konkurrensanalys. Under arbetets gång hittar den en betald branschrapport (minns du dem?), ett API för marknadsdata och flera artiklar bakom betalväggar. Att avbryta dig för att få godkännande för varje köp på fem cent skulle göra agenten nästan värdelös (och, av egen erfarenhet, kanske göra dig lite galen). Samtidigt vill du förmodligen inte att den ska bestämma att en analytikerrapport på 2 000 dollar kan vara till hjälp, såvida du inte är helt okänslig för priset. Vad du egentligen vill är att fastställa en ram: Spendera upp till 10 dollar under den här uppgiften, kanske högst 2 dollar hos en enskild leverantör, endast på forskningsrelaterade tjänster, och lämna in alla kvitton. Den avslöjande detaljen i AWS:s implementering är att en agents utgiftssession har ett maximalt belopp och en utgångstid. Dessa gränser tillämpas deterministiskt utanför modellen, och transaktioner genererar loggar och revisionsspår. Agenten kan resonera kring om ett köp är värt besväret, men den kan inte resonera sig förbi gränsen. En promptinjektion kan övertyga agenten, men den kan inte övertyga den omgivande infrastrukturen. Bra gjort, AWS. Det här är enkelt och smart. Det handlar om mer än bara kostnadskontroll. Enkel kostnadskontroll innebär: ”Spendera inte mer än beloppet X.” Men delegerad utgiftsbehörighet säger: ”Du får spendera X, för ändamål Y, på uppdrag av Z, under dessa villkor.” Det kräver identitet, policy, återkallande och en förteckning över vem som godkänt vad. Det här är inte vägledning gömd i en prompt; det är en verkställbar utgiftspolicy Tänk på vad detta innebär. Om detta fungerar börjar upphandling bli en grundläggande applikationskomponent. Agenter kan sammanställa betalda data, programvara och dataresurser i farten istället för att helt förlita sig på prenumerationer som förhandlats fram månader tidigare. Det skulle kunna förändra API-prissättning, innehållsekonomi och till och med SaaS-licensiering: avgränsad autonomi på rätt sätt. När skyddsräcken inte räcker Oavsett hur ”smarta” agenterna blir finns det vissa områden där denna strategi med ”begränsad autonomi” kanske inte fungerar. Ny forskning tyder till exempel på att agenterna saknar ”omdömet som krävs för att bedriva öppen research”. I samma experiment misslyckades agenterna också med att utnyttja de resurser som stod till deras förfogande. ”Båda körningarna avslutades med att mindre än 50 procent av API-budgeten hade använts och med flera timmar kvar till deadline”, konstaterar författarna, ”trots att agenterna kunde övervaka sin användning och uppmuntrades att använda upp sina budgetar.” Varför? För oavsett hur gärna vi drömmer om artificiell allmän intelligens är verkligheten den att agenterna tenderar att sträva efter det mål vi anger, utan att på ett tillförlitligt sätt dra slutsatser om alla de begränsningar och konsekvenser som vi antar är uppenbara. De problem som nämns ovan (hackningsincidenterna) berodde på att människor inte ville ha konsekvenserna av det de önskade. Det innebär att om vi ger en agent ett kommando att göra något, bör vi inte bli förvånade om den ”resonerar” sig fram mot det målet. Därför måste vi, precis som i diskussionen om finans ovan, noggrant avgränsa vad vi vill att agenten ska göra och med vilka resurser. I en kommentar till denna forskning säger Jack Clark från Anthropic: ”Det finns en viss brist på värdefull, intuitiv kreativitet i dagens AI-system.” Ja, fortsätter han, ”även om de är utomordentligt duktiga ingenjörer verkar de [också] ha en viss benägenhet till mekaniskt, formelbundet tänkande som kan hindra dem [från] att vara bra forskare.” Detta är inte ett argument för att sluta använda agentbaserad AI, utan helt enkelt för att acceptera dess begränsningar samtidigt som man hyllar dess styrkor. Som jag har skrivit på senare tid bygger den bästa AI:n på att använda data effektivt för att informera och ”begränsa” agentbaserade system. Auktoritet måste följa omdöme Forskningen lyfter fram en distinktion som ofta suddas ut i diskussionen om agentisk AI. Förmåga, omdöme och auktoritet är inte samma sak. En agent kan vara tillräckligt kapabel att bryta sig in i ett datorsystem samtidigt som den saknar omdömet att inse att den inte borde göra det. Den kan också hålla sig säkert inom en budget och ändå misslyckas med att åstadkomma något användbart. Skyddsräcken kan begränsa skadan från det första problemet, men de löser inte det andra. Detta tyder på att vi bör sluta behandla autonomi som något vi antingen ger en agent eller nekar den. För åtgärder som är billiga, observerbara och lätta att ångra – låt agenten agera. För åtgärder som är kostsamma, svåra att överblicka eller omöjliga att ångra, kräv godkännande. (Detta liknar Amazons riktlinjer för hantering av ”envägsdörrar”.) När agenten visar att den kan agera pålitligt inom gränserna kan du utvidga dem. Vilket leder mig tillbaka till de två betydelserna av ”agent”. Vi vill att AI ska ha befogenhet att agera å våra vägnar, men vi oroar oss med rätta när den börjar utöva makt på sätt som vi inte förutsett. Tyvärr kan vi inte dra någon större nytta av den första betydelsen utan att acceptera en viss risk från den andra. Föräldrar ger inte tonåringar obegränsad frihet bara för att de har visat att de kan köra bil. Friheten utökas i takt med att omdömet utvecklas. Vi bör behandla AI-agenter på ungefär samma sätt. En agent blir användbar när den kan agera, och farlig av exakt samma anledning. Utmaningen är att se till att dess befogenheter aldrig överstiger dess omdöme.

Regionstyrelsen i Västra Götaland har nu gett regiondirektören i uppdrag att säga upp det så kallade Millenniumavtalet med Oracle, vilket väntas ske formellt under fredagen. Som en del av överenskommelsen kommer Oracle att få en uppsägningsersättning på 657 miljoner kronor. Detta utöver de 3,8 miljarder kronorna som den misslyckade satsningen kostat skattebetalarna i Västra Götaland. – Oavsett vilka system vi använder i vården måste vi vara beredda på att support och vidareutveckling av våra system kommer med en kostnad, säger ekonomidirektör Emil Gisslow i ett pressmeddelande. Millenniumavtalet tecknades 2018, men när journalsystemet skulle tas i bruk 2024 visade det sig vara behäftat med så många brister att det fick skrotas. I sammanhanget kan nämnas att Västra Götaland trots problemen valt att förlänga avtalen med Oracle gällande flera andra system, däribland journalsystemet Melior, förlossnings- och mödravårdssystemet Obstetrix samt samverkanssystemet SAMSA för vårdplanering mellan region och kommuner.

Enligt en ny rapport från analysföretaget Counterpoint Research stod Apple för 5 av de 10 mest sålda mobiltelefonerna i världen under det andra kvartalet 2026. På platserna 1-3 återfinns i tur och ordning Iphone 17, Iphone 17 Pro Max och Iphone 17 Pro. Sedan hittar vi Iphone 17e på plats 7 och Iphone 16 på plats 10. Den enda nuvarande Iphone-modellen som inte lyckats ta sig in på topp 10 är Iphone Air. Samsung har å sin sida också 5 modeller på topplistan, närmare bestämt Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G, A07 4G, A17 5G, A17 4G och S26 5G.

Läkare på National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) i London har för första gången tagit hjälp av AI-verktyg vid en operation. Enligt uppgift användes AI-verktyget för att analysera videoupptagningar i realtid, detta i samband med att en hjärntumör opererades bort från en 48-årig man i maj. Tack vare AI-verktyget kunde läkarna undvika kritiska områden i hjärnan, något som gjorde att mannens syn kunde räddas. – När jag vaknade kunde jag tydligt se allt runt om i rummet, säger den tacksamme patienten i en kommentar till The Guardian. NHNN grundades 1859 och var världens första sjukhus som specialiserade sig på just neurokirurgi.

Authorities in Australia have arrested two men believed to be members of TeamPCP, a prolific cybercrime and data extortion group blamed for perpetrating the longest running spree of software supply chain attacks ever. In a statement released today, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said two unnamed suspects from Western Australia, aged 21 and 23, were arrested in connection with a "sophisticated cybercrime syndicate that allegedly created malicious open-source software to rob thousands of global businesses." The AFP did not name the defendants, but KrebsOnSecurity learned the 21-year-old suspect's real identity in June, and has been communicating with him ever since. This story includes interviews with TeamPCP's self-described spokesperson, and examines clues left behind by the TeamPCP leader that likely led to his undoing.

CISA says more than 100 internet-exposed U.S. water and wastewater systems were targeted in July, often through programmable logic controllers connected directly to cellular modems. "That's the first time the feds have put a number on the digital intrusions, but they have yet to attribute the campaign, widely suspected to be linked to Iran, to a particular group," reports The Register. From the report: Suspected Iranian attackers targeted water and wastewater facilities across at least a dozen states in July, including internet-exposed PLCs. While neither federal nor state officials have identified all 12, we know that the cyberattacks occurred at mostly small, rural utilities in Minnesota, Michigan, Georgia, South Dakota, and New Jersey. "This is very serious. What stands out isn't any single incident. It's the scale," Matt Hartman, chief strategy officer at the Merlin Group and CISA's former acting head of cyber, told The Register. "More than 100 water systems with internet-exposed assets were hit in a single month, which points to a systemic vulnerability across the sector, not a run of isolated, unlucky targets," Hartman said. "Much of this infrastructure runs on operational technology that was built for closed, physical environments. It was never designed with the assumption that it would be reachable from the open internet." John Gallagher, VP at Viakoo, an OT and IoT cybersecurity provider, told us that while 100 systems represent a small fraction - only about 0.5 percent - of water utilities in the US, the "real threat is that these are test runs for a larger-scale attack." While the 100-plus water incidents occurred in July, just last week five US federal agencies warned that attackers are using AI-generated exploitation scripts to break into internet-exposed Siemens S7 Series PLCs at water, manufacturing, energy, and other critical facilities. "This appears to be a continuation of the same suite of activity we suspect is affiliated with Iran targeting PLCs," Halcyon Ransomware Research Center SVP Cynthia Kaiser told The Register a week ago. "Iran-affiliated actors and adversaries are actively targeting a wide swath of operational technology because these PLCs underpin essential health, safety, and critical infrastructure across society," Kaiser, a former FBI cyber division deputy assistant director, added. CISA urges organizations to keep PLCs off the public internet, route remote access through VPNs or gateways, replace default passwords, enable stronger authentication, and restrict access to allowlisted IP addresses from trusted OT systems.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has disputed the authenticity of iPhone Ultra renders shared by the typically-reliable leaker Evan Blass on X (Twitter). The images show the unreleased foldable iPhone in not just the rumored space gray and white colors, but also in a striking red. "Hearing these renders came from Xiaomi," wrote Gurman, commenting on Blass's post. "This isn't a legitimate look at the foldable iPhone, which also doesn't come in red or green. Just renders made by Xiaomi for some reason. Carry on." Apple is said to be planning to "stay away from fun colors" and stick to more traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes for the book-style foldable iPhone. One rumor has described the darker color as a shade of indigo rather than black. Another rumor suggests there might not be a black color at all. We'll know for sure soon. Apple will hold its annual iPhone-centric event on Wednesday, September 9 at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, where the company is expected to debut the foldable alongside new iPhone 18 Pro models. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. This year, Apple is using the tagline "Surprise and shine" for its fall event.Related Roundup: iPhone FoldTags: Evan Blass, iPhone Ultra, Mark GurmanThis article, "'Exclusive Red' iPhone Ultra Images Not What They Seem" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
