Supply chain attacks accounted for 30% of breaches in the 2025 Verizon DBIR3, double the prior year. The attack model is reliable: compromise a software vendor, IT service provider, or managed security service, then use that trusted relationship to reach multiple downstream organizations simultaneously, often before anyone realizes a compromise has occurred. Hybrid cloud environments are particularly exposed because vendor and partner connections are common, and those connections often carry broader access permissions than a strict least-privilege model would grant.The IBM 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report10, covering incidents from March 2024 through February 2025, reported average US breach…

Enterprise AI ambitions are stalling not because models are hard to build, but because the data foundations underneath them were never designed to support intelligent workloads at scale — and a unified data lakehouse architecture might be the solution. The problem is especially acute for legacy organizations carrying decades of accumulated data infrastructure built in silos. As companies scramble to prepare their data estates for agentic AI, those that fail to address technical debt at the data layer risk building AI on a foundation that will buckle under real production pressure, according to Debopriyo Nag (pictured, right), global lead for…

Its expansion comes despite reporting losses here in 2024 Chinese coffee brand Luckin Coffee has been in Singapore for only three years, but it has established a strong foothold in the city-state. It expanded by 30 stores over the past year, bringing its total number of outlets here to 81.  This is despite offering its coffee at heavily discounted prices and reporting losses amounting to RMB¥47 million (S$8.8 million) in Singapore in 2024, all the more notable in the context of Singapore’s notoriously tough F&B landscape. What, then, goes into the Chinese brand’s playbook for expanding in such a challenging…

Meta is recording every employee’s keystroke to train its AI. Is this frontier research or just high-tech surveillance? The digital sweatshop has arrived. Think again if you thought corporate surveillance peaked with return-to-office mandates. Meta just took the Big Brother trope and turned it into a training manual. According to a new Reuters report, Meta is launching the Model Capability Initiative (MCI), a program that installs software on U.S. employees’ computers to record every mouse movement, keystroke, and click. The goal? To feed that digital exhaust into their next generation of AI agents. Meta is asking its employees to help…

The OnePlus 16 could end up being one of the more ridiculous display upgrades in the next flagship cycle. A fresh leak has revealed some impressive display specs of the brand’s next top model. But the number that really jumps off the page is the refresh rate. Chinese tipster DigitalChatStation claims 185Hz is the minimum target, though OnePlus is reportedly testing support up to 240Hz. Why OnePlus 16’s display could be its main attraction Nadeem Sarwar / Digital Trends The upcoming OnePlus flagship smartphone will apparently sport a tall 6.78-inch flat BOE OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and LTPO…

Sam Altman’s eyeball-scanning startup, Tools for Humanity, announced last week that a new product called Concert Kit—designed to give verified humans a way to purchase concert tickets—would first roll out on Bruno Mars’ world tour of his latest studio album, The Romantic.However, Bruno Mars Management and Live Nation, the producer for the Romantic Tour, told WIRED in a joint statement on Tuesday that the partnership “does not exist,” and that Tools for Humanity never even approached them about working together.The confusion stemmed from a Tools for Humanity event April 17 in San Francisco, where chief product officer Tiago Sada said…

Confidence is persuasive. In artificial intelligence systems, it is often misleading.Today’s most capable reasoning models share a trait with the loudest voice in the room: They deliver every answer with the same unshakable certainty, whether they’re right or guessing. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have now traced that overconfidence to a specific flaw in how these models are trained, and developed a method that fixes it without giving up any accuracy.The technique, called RLCR (Reinforcement Learning with Calibration Rewards), trains language models to produce calibrated confidence estimates alongside their answers. In addition to coming up…

How powerful is AI? Enough that Anthropic, a leading AI company, announced earlier this month that its latest AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, would be available only to a limited number of businesses due to security concerns — at least for now.Claude Mythos Preview was designed for general use, Anthropic says, but during testing, the company found it extremely effective at identifying vulnerabilities in the security systems of all types of software, creating potentially massive security concerns.So far, Anthropic is sharing the Mythos Preview model with a handful of major tech companies and banks through a program called Project Glasswing,…
