As many as 3,136 individual IP addresses linked to likely targets of the Contagious Interview activity have been identified, with the campaign claiming 20 potential victim organizations spanning artificial intelligence (AI), cryptocurrency, financial services, IT services, marketing, and software development sectors in Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, and Central America. The new findings come from Recorded Future’s Insikt Group, which is tracking the North Korean threat activity cluster under the moniker PurpleBravo. First documented in late 2023, the campaign is also known as CL-STA-0240, DeceptiveDevelopment, DEV#POPPER, Famous Chollima, Gwisin Gang, Tenacious Pungsan, UNC5342, Void Dokkaebi, and WaterPlum. The 3,136…

The paper clip problem always seemed too absurd to me. Also known as the paper clip maximizer, this is the thought experiment by philosopher Nick Bostrom that imagines how a superintelligent AI with the goal of maximizing paper clip production could end up destroying the world by directing all available resources to making paper clips.While it would be irresponsible to say this is happening, we are starting to run low on some resources. And it’s about to affect your life.You may have heard about the global memory shortage caused, in part, by the rapid buildout of AI data centers. Just…

As one would expect, artificial intelligence was a big theme at last week’s National Retail Federation’s annual event in New York City, as it was last year, but there was one subtle difference. The 2025 edition was focused more on AI education, whereas I felt this year’s NRF focused more on use cases. In fact, one of the speakers I saw said something to the effect that NRF is no longer a technology show but rather a business outcomes event. Concurrent with the event, Nvidia Corp. released its latest trends report, State of AI in Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods,…

The Nemotron 3 lineup – comprising Nano, Super, and Ultra – delivers leading performance for multi-agent AI systems, combining advanced reasoning, conversational, and collaborative capabilities. The models leverage a hybrid Mamba-Transformer mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture, providing best-in-class inference throughput while supporting context lengths of up to 1 million tokens. Nemotron 3 Nano, the smallest model, is optimized for cost-efficient inference and tasks such as software debugging, content summarization, AI assistant workflows, and information retrieval. Despite possessing 30 billion total parameters, it intelligently activates only about 3 billion per token. With a unique hybrid MoE design, Nano achieves up to 4× higher…

Automation Anywhere’s tie-up with OpenAI pushes enterprise agentic AI beyond automation hype. It’s bold, but the tangible value still hinges on outcomes. Automation Anywhere just dropped a major update in the enterprise AI arms race. The company announced new AI-native agentic solutions built with OpenAI’s reasoning models. It’s more than marketing speak. It’s a deliberate push to put AI that acts, not just responds, into the core of how work gets done. The pitch is simple. Traditional automation stacks repeated rigid rules and brittle flows. The new approach combines Automation Anywhere’s Process Reasoning Engine with OpenAI models to augment bots’…

Enterprise AI World 2025, co-located with KMWorld 2025, offered a clear signal this year: the era of “drop a chatbot on the intranet and call it transformation” is over. The conversations shifted toward AI that sits inside real work—capturing tacit knowledge, restructuring workflows, building organizational memory, and reframing what humans are actually good for. Across the keynotes and sessions, three patterns kept repeating: AI is moving from content generator to decision partner and team member. Knowledge, structured, contextual, and connected, is becoming the real platform. Policy and practice, including leadership and workforce design, are now the rate-limiting steps, not models.…

The Federal Trade Commission lost its antitrust case against Meta last year, but the regulator hasn’t given up on its attempts to punish the social media company for its acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram. The FTC is appealing a ruling last year in which a federal judge found that the government hadn’t proven that Meta is currently operating as a monopoly.”Meta has maintained its dominant position and record profits for well over a decade not through legitimate competition, but by buying its most significant competitive threats,” the FTC’s Bureau of Competition Director Daniel Guarnera said in a statement. “The Trump-Vance…

Hello Cyber Builders 🖖It has been a few weeks since the last issue of Cyber Builders. I’ve been busy building! But rest assured, we are continuing our journey into the 12 Cybersecurity Platforms and AI impacts in them. In previous parts, we explored how AI is enhancing 9 cybersecurity platforms, such as Network Security and Endpoint Detection and Response.We’re wrapping up this series by looking at the three platforms most changed by AI. These platforms handle what people create, communicate, and trust—the softer side of cybersecurity. As we move forward, let’s examine how these areas differ from the more technical…

OnePlus has strongly denied a recent report suggesting that the company is being “dismantled” and winding down its business, reaffirming that its operations are continuing normally. The clarification comes after an Android Headlines investigation claimed that OnePlus was effectively collapsing and being absorbed into its parent company Oppo, a narrative that triggered widespread speculation across tech circles and social platforms. According to the report, OnePlus’ global presence and market share have sharply declined, internal teams are allegedly being reduced, and key product launches might have been cancelled as part of an asserted consolidation strategy within Oppo. While no official confirmation…

The company: IVO, a legal AI startup is just pulling off one hell of a Series B that’s setting serious tongues wagging in Silicon Valley and beyond – but this ain’t no other headline about venture cash.Underneath the hood of the legal industry, something deeper is changing and skeptics and evangelists should be asking: Is AI finally ready to take down the stodgiest profession of them all?IVO, according to another Reuters report announced that it has raised $55 million in funding led by Blackbird at a valuation of about $355 million – representing one of the largest vote-of-confidence yet in AI-powered legal services.Read…
