The North Korean threat actors linked to the Contagious Interview campaign have been observed publishing 108 unique packages and web browser extensions spanning npm, Packagist, Go, and Google Chrome as part of an ongoing activity referred to as PolinRider. “The campaign remains active, and new malicious packages are likely to continue appearing as threat actors compromise maintainer accounts, modify legitimate repositories, and publish infected package versions where they retain or obtain registry access,” Socket security researcher Karlo Zanki said in an analysis published this week. The 162 malicious release artifacts span multiple release versions corresponding to 108 unique packages and…

Samsung’s next generation of foldable smartphones may arrive with significantly higher price tags than their predecessors. According to information shared by Roland Quandt of WinFuture, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and the Galaxy Watch 9 lineup are all expected to see price increases in Europe when they are unveiled later this month. While flagship smartphones have steadily become more expensive over the past few years, the leaked pricing suggests Samsung could be taking another sizeable step upward, particularly for buyers opting for higher storage variants. Samsung’s premium foldables may be…

Eight months in, they’re looking to set up a physical stall to meet growing demand When brothers Gary Wong, 32, and James Wong, 31, were growing up, food was always part of their lives. They were born into a family of cooks who ran dim sum and zi char stalls, though those ventures never quite took off. While F&B was, as Gary put it, “in our blood,” their family actively discouraged the brothers from entering the industry. That changed at the start of 2026, when the brothers and their wives launched Hippopotato, a home-based rösti business operating out of their…

Three startups are providing the fireworks for the Department of Energy’s Fourth of July celebrations by meeting a major nuclear milestone. They’ve turned on new reactors as part of a pilot program aimed at kick-starting what Energy Secretary Chris Wright calls “America’s nuclear renaissance” to develop and deploy the next generation of atomic energy.Other companies in the pilot program have signaled that they may reach criticality—a term used to describe a nuclear reactor sustaining a chain reaction, a key step in providing power—shortly after July 4, following a deadline set by President Donald Trump in an executive order last year.…

Docker and Kubernetes changed how enterprises build software. Docker gives dev teams a clean way to package applications. Kubernetes lets ops teams deploy and scale them without losing their minds. Together they’re fast, portable, and flexible. But that same speed also changes the security problem. A vulnerable image can go from build stage to registry to production in minutes. A misconfigured pod can expose services nobody meant to expose. A compromised workload identity can hand an attacker a path straight into your cloud resources. And a container can spin up, damage, and disappear before anyone’s even pulled logs. So basic…

Overland AI’s autonomous ground vehicles lined up at the company’s proving grounds. (Overland AI Photo) Seattle-based Overland AI has landed a U.S. Marine Corps contract to produce autonomous ground vehicles, a milestone the defense-tech startup says makes it the first ground autonomy company to serve as the prime contractor on a military production deal. The nearly $20 million agreement — $19.7 million, according to the Department of War — calls for Overland to deliver more than a dozen autonomous ground vehicles, along with the software that runs them. Initial deliveries are expected to begin sometime in early 2027. The agreement…

Denver-based Luxonis Holding Corp. announced Thursday it raised $14 million in early-stage funding to transform industrial automation with cameras and machine vision, providing a perception layer for robotics and automated systems to understand the real world. Denali Growth Partners led the Series A round alongside participation from Denali Growth Partners. Founded in 2019, Luxonis’ trajectory to this point is worth noting. The company started off this marathon on an uncommon path for tech startups: a 2020 Kickstarter campaign provided a $1.3 million foundation from over 6,500 backers. This has culminated today in cumulative capital raised of over $23 million, including the crowdfunding, according to Pitchbook.…

I can’t recall if someone else originally came up with this saying or if I said it in some off-the-cuff comment and it just propagated, but since it’s often attributed back to me, I’ll relay it here regardless:Trying to delete yourself from the internet is like trying to take piss out of a swimming poolDepending on the publication, I’ll tailor the saying to be either more broadly palatable or more, uh, “Australian”, but the sentiment doesn’t change: once data spreads on the internet, you can never put a lid on it. This is important in the context of data breaches…

The channel that gets credit for closing the deal rarely started it. B2B attribution models, even in 2026, don’t know the difference. Key Takeaways Direct impact measures which channel closed the deal. Assisted impact measures which channels made the deal possible. The majority of reporting tools default to direct-only, quietly distorting every budget decision built at the top. Channels such as social, earned media, and dark social are systematically under-credited because they’re the most challenging to track. Branded search and retargeting often mimic top performers in last-click reports while catching demand that another channel already created. B2B buying journeys are…
