Today, we welcome the 44th government onboarded to Have I Been Pwned’s free gov service: The Bahamas. The National Computer Incident Response Team of The Bahamas, CIRT-BS, now has access to monitor government domains against the data in HIBP. As the national CIRT, CIRT-BS is responsible for coordinating and supporting cybersecurity-related matters across the country, and this access will help them prevent, identify, and mitigate incidents involving compromised credentials and data exposure affecting government entities and critical stakeholders.This is precisely the sort of use case the HIBP government service was designed for: giving national cybersecurity teams the ability to identify…
CyberGym benchmark scores over time, showing the rapid improvement in AI vulnerability discovery capabilities. Microsoft’s multi-model MDASH system (top right) tops the leaderboard at 88.4%. (CyberGym / UC Berkeley) Mythos has been MDASH’d. A new AI-powered system from Microsoft surpassed a headline-grabbing rival from Anthropic on a leading cybersecurity benchmark, using more than 100 specialized AI agents working together across multiple AI models to find real-world software vulnerabilities. Microsoft’s system, codenamed MDASH, was introduced this week alongside the disclosure of 16 new vulnerabilities it found in different versions of Windows, including four “critical” remote code execution flaws fixed in this…
We have reached the point where the processor inside a flagship phone may cost as much as an entire budget Android phone. That sounds absurd, but it also feels exactly like where premium phones are headed. Samsung already raised the Galaxy S26’s starting price by $100 over the Galaxy S25, and the next wave of Android flagships could climb even higher. According to a new leak from tipster Abhishek Yadav, Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could cost upward of $300, significantly raising the bill of materials for next-generation Android flagships. As per reports, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8…
Ravie LakshmananMay 13, 2026Vulnerability / Artificial Intelligence Microsoft has unveiled a new multi-model artificial intelligence (AI)-driven system called MDASH to facilitate vulnerability discovery and remediation at scale, adding that it’s being tested by some customers as part of a limited private preview. MDASH, short for multi-model agentic scanning harness, is designed as a model-agnostic system that uses bespoke AI agents for different vulnerability classes to autonomously discover, validate, and prove exploitable defects in complex codebases like Windows. “Unlike single-model approaches, the harness orchestrates more than 100 specialized AI agents across an ensemble of frontier and distilled models to discover, debate,…

In the technology world, we often talk about “inflection points” as if they are common occurrences. They aren’t. Most companies spend decades searching for one, only to miss the turn when it finally arrives. But today, AMD didn’t just meet a turn; they executed a high-speed drift through it, emerging on the other side as a fundamentally different, and significantly more powerful, entity. AMD’s Q1 financial results, featuring a 38% year-over-year revenue increase to $10.3 billion, represent more than just a good quarter. They represent a structural shift. Under the leadership of Dr. Lisa Su, AMD has transitioned from a…
The final stragglers testified on Wednesday in the Musk v. Altman trial. The witnesses generated few waves, aside from the revelation that Microsoft has so far spent over $100 billion on its partnership with OpenAI. Rather than focus on that, I wanted to bring you a candid observation that my colleague Maxwell Zeff and I can’t stop talking about after spending nearly three weeks watching the trial.The courtroom is littered with butt cushions.Several of the hard, wooden benches on the right side of US district Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’ courtroom are reserved for OpenAI and Microsoft’s attorneys, executives, and other…

The AI arms race has a new front, and it isn’t the battle over individual models — it’s war for the entire AI control plane. That theme was front and center at Boomi World in Chicago, where Boomi LP Chief Executive Officer Steve Lucas spent two hours on stage steering the conversation away from model hype and toward the harder problems — data activation, governance and execution at scale. For Boomi itself, the hard work is behind them and the opportunity ahead is enormous, according to John Furrier (pictured, right), co-founder and CEO of SiliconANGLE Media Inc. “The analysis is clear. We’ve…
