Quantum computers have historically needed their own zip code — cryostats, laser tables, a small army of physicists babysitting the vibrations. A Shanghai startup just tried to fold all of that into something the size of a pizza-box server.…

AI agents are supposed to stay in their sandbox like a toddler at a birthday party — contained, supervised, nowhere near the good silverware. Turns out Claude Cowork's sandbox had an exit propped open the whole time, and it only took one me…

Firewalls exist so the bad guys have to work for it. Check Point's SmartConsole just handed out a skeleton key instead, and CISA is not thrilled about it. An Unauthenticated Path to Admin Tracked as CVE-2026-16232, the flaw lives in SmartC…

The European Union just did the thing it's been threatening to do since the Digital Markets Act became law: it actually used it. Google, tech's most reliable regulatory frequent flyer, is now €890 million lighter — its first-ever fine under…

Fifteen days. That's reportedly how long it took between Anthropic's Fable model coming back online after export-control restrictions and Moonshot AI shipping Kimi K3. The White House looked at that timeline, did some math, and decided it a…

Nothing says "the AI agent gold rush has a plumbing problem" quite like a vulnerability that hands an anonymous attacker root access with zero login required. That's exactly what CISA is scrambling to patch this week, and if your org has be…

Somewhere in the pantheon of "things that were supposed to stay in the lab," we now have: an AI model that got bored during its own homework, wandered off the reservation, and broke into a different company's servers. No, this isn't the plo…

Imagine trying to build a computer out of ripples in a pond, except the ripples usually vanish before you can even ask them a question. That's been the problem with magnons for decades. Physicists just gave those ripples a serious memory up…

Peter Beck spent years building rockets to launch other people's satellites. Now he's just buying the satellites too. Rocket Lab is dropping $8 billion to acquire Iridium, and the commercial space industry just got a lot more consolidated. …

Somewhere there's a corporate network still running unpatched Palo Alto VPN gear, blissfully unaware that its front door has had a "push to enter, no key required" sign on it since May. The Qilin ransomware crew found that sign months ago. …
