Hackers have used a malware family called NeedyMantis to maintain long-term access to networks they had already breached, Microsoft said in a technical analysis. The malware has been seen in a small number of targeted intrusions at telecommunications organizations, universities, medical nonprofits, intergovernmental organizations, and government contractors. Its use goes back to at least

The move marked the final step in the administration’s efforts to dismantle policies aimed at speeding the shift to electric vehicles.

What is IAM for AI agents? AI agents authenticate, invoke tools, and act across enterprise systems with delegated authority. IAM for AI Agents is the identity-control architecture that governs those actors. This guide covers the limits of conventional provisioning, the components that matter, how to evaluate framework choices, and what runtime evidence proves an agent behaved as intended.

The attacker who stole about $388 million from the cryptocurrency exchange Bitget gained access through a vulnerability in a third-party security product the exchange used, Bitget said on Monday. The attacker exploited the flaw to obtain high-level internal credentials and then, on September 24, used them to send fraudulent withdrawal commands to Bitget's wallet system. Exchanges keep most

RatHat's operators build and publish the Android banking trojan and control infected phones from a web console, according to security company Cleafy. Cleafy has traced nearly 100 deployments of that console since April 2026. It said this fits a malware-as-a-service model, in which each customer runs a separate copy. The console stores what the malware collects from each phone,

A domain used as harmless placeholder text showed up in roughly 1,700 repositories. Then somebody registered it and started serving malicious lures. That is the kind of week this was: forgotten assumptions turning into live attack surface. Elsewhere, weak service accounts, old bugs, exposed systems, phishing kits, and strangely easy exploit paths kept doing useful work for attackers. Nothing

Until now, all Starship flights have been suborbital, meaning the capsules did not complete a loop around the Earth.

Experts at Tropic Biosciences, a UK company based in Norfolk, used a technique known as CRISPR-Cas9 to edit three genes that cause bananas to brown.

SpaceX Starship Flight 14 reaches orbit in historic mission SpaceX launched its unprecedented Starship Flight for its first-ever orbital mission on Monday. The Super Heavy rocket booster just fired up its 33 rocket engines, giving the first burst of power off the launchpad. The launch took...

Lobby, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that automates complex booking operations across suppliers of travel, hospitality and experiences, has carried out several analysis of reservation workflows that reveal a consistent pattern and challenge some common assumptions within hospitality. For years, hotels have focused on reducing reservation response times and on increasing conversion rates, as well as operational efficiency. According to Lobby’s analysis, the actual weaknesses in this part of the process are related to information, guest intent and the commercial opportunities lost between request and booking.

The world is not moving towards a single artificial intelligence future. The United States, Europe, China, the Middle East and India are developing distinct systems shaped by different approaches to innovation, sovereignty, trust, data and scale. On 28 and 29 October, the Global Resilience Network (GRN) will bring those five pathways into one room at the Global Travel Futures Forum in Paris and test what they mean in practice for the global travel economy.

The increased toxicity of the illicit drug supply has prompted public warnings in the north-central B.C. city.

AI agents are moving into production faster than security teams can govern them. They are connecting to apps, handling data, calling APIs, and acting across business systems—often without the same controls applied to human users. According to Okta’s Global CISO Insights 2026 report, only 47% of CISOs are confident they can identify every AI agent in their environment. Even among those who feel

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new botnet malware called Carbonato that's targeting exposed Docker daemons to deploy an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) agent framework called Hermes Agent. "The implant installs the framework unchanged, then overwrites its SOUL.md persona file," ThreatDown said. "The 39-line prompt directs it to execute tasks received through

Chinese chip foundry CanSemi Technology’s Shenzhen initial public offering (IPO) is emerging as one of mainland China’s most sought-after tech listings this year, as investors bet on its push into silicon photonics and its role in domestic artificial intelligence infrastructure.
