Breaking news and updates from the world of technology.
The Department of War has deployed Starshield AI's Grok for Government on GenAI.mil, the Pentagon's generative AI platform, giving troops and civilian staff a second frontier model alongside Google's Gemini for tasks from acquisition research to supply chain logistics.
A critical unauthenticated remote code execution bug in the open-source Langflow platform is being actively exploited, with attackers specifically querying environment variables for OpenAI API keys, AWS secrets, and Langflow superuser credentials. Attack volume has grown from 50 to 360 attempts in days.
A high-severity authentication bypass in Exchange Server 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition lets attackers take over any mailbox on a vulnerable server. Microsoft patched it in August, but Shadowserver found nearly 22,000 unpatched servers still exposed online — 85% of Germany's on-premises fleet among them.
An attacker inflated the price of Tectonic's TONIC token by 100x to borrow $74 million against it on Cronos — the DeFi protocol's TVL collapsed from $122M to $3M, and the blockchain had to halt and restart from a pre-exploit block.
The European Commission has designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the DSA, giving all three four months to comply with the EU’s most stringent content and algorithmic transparency requirements.
Attackers exploited CVE-2026-63077, a vulnerability JetBrains itself disclosed and patched a month earlier, to compromise the Cadence cloud service and a 2024 backup.
The deal deepens collaboration on custom AI accelerators, RTX Spark PC chips, and automotive computing, with MediaTek adopting NVIDIA's NVLink Fusion platform.
An open letter signed by Google, Microsoft, IBM, Anthropic, and 96 others warns that rogue AI models have already attacked real targets and the window to build defenses is closing.
The extortion group says it tricked employees into handing over SSO credentials, then pulled 1 TB of sensitive health data from Salesforce and Snowflake environments.
The $4.3 billion Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches from Kennedy Space Center today, carrying a 300-megapixel camera that will survey billions of galaxies at 1,000 times Hubble's speed.
Anthropic has unveiled the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a framework that lets AI agents communicate directly with physical devices — from microscopes to robotic arms — cutting integration time from weeks to hours.
OpenAI will cut off Cursor's access to its AI models by November 12, 2026, after SpaceX acquired the coding tool's parent company for $60 billion — citing a history of Elon Musk's companies violating its terms of service.
