Qualcomm’s next flagship chip lineup could be more fragmented than previously expected. A new leak has detailed key specifications of the rumored Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 lineup, reiterating that the company may launch both a standard and a Pro variant this year. The two chips are expected to give smartphone makers more flexibility across price tiers, while also widening the performance gap between regular flagship phones and more premium “Ultra” models.

In September 2025, Anthropic disclosed that a state-sponsored threat actor used an AI coding agent to execute an autonomous cyber espionage campaign against 30 global targets. The AI handled 80-90% of tactical operations on its own, performing reconnaissance, writing exploit code, and attempting lateral movement at machine speed. This incident is worrying, but there’s a scenario that should concern security teams even more: an attacker who doesn’t need to run through the kill chain at all, because they’ve compromised an AI agent that already lives inside your environment. One that already has the access, the permissions, and a legitimate reason…

Now, its two new midrange models—the Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G—are getting $50 price bumps, despite minor hardware updates over last year’s Galaxy A36 and A56. Samsung has also trimmed the lineup—there’s no successor to the Galaxy A26 this year, at least not yet.These price increases may be indicative of the economic climate, what with tariffs, higher oil prices due to the war in Iran, and the memory shortage that has driven up RAM and storage costs across the board. If a phone’s…

It’s about to get a lot easier for creators on Facebook and Instagram to push products to their followers. Meta will now allow creators to include clickable shopping links for products directly in their Reels.Brand partnerships and affiliate links, in which creators earn a portion of sales generated by their recommendations, are central to how creators earn money from Facebook and Instagram. But Meta has limited the ways in which they can direct their followers off-platform. As a result, creators often rely on third-party “link in bio” services for managing links to the stuff they endorse.Now, Meta says it will…
