Island proves why securing autonomous is a multi-billion-dollar emergency. The Dallas-based cybersecurity startup just landed $400 million in new funding, soaring to a $6.4 billion valuation- double its price tag from 2024. So why are heavy hitters like Evolution Equity Partners and Sequoia throwing absurd amounts of cash at a company best known for custom enterprise web browsers? Because AI agents have officially broken the old corporate security playbook. Companies aren’t just managing human employees logging into web apps anymore. They are deploying autonomous AI agents that fetch files, query databases, and execute code across internal networks. When these bots…
[This is a sponsored article with MDEC, but the editorial team had full control over the content. ] If you still think Malaysia’s role in the global semiconductor industry begins and ends with chip assembly and testing, it’s time to get up to speed. Since the National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS) was launched in May 2024, Malaysia has been working to own more of the blueprint, building capabilities in chip design, advanced packaging, and engineering to move up the semiconductor value chain. Complementing these efforts, the Malaysia Digital (MD) national strategic initiative supports the growth of high-value digital industries while strengthening…
Sony’s new ULT range of speakers stretches from the relatively manageable $450 ULT Tower 5 to the frankly ridiculous $1,200 ULT Tower Max. Sitting between them is the ULT Tower 7, with excellent sound, an ample selection of inputs, a combined 420 watts of output, and a 30-hour battery. Be warned, though, while it’s smaller than the Tower Max, it is still absolutely enormous and weighs 50.3 pounds.Most party speakers will accept music from a DJ controller, but Sony goes further with RCA and balanced XLR inputs, plus an XLR output for expanding a wired setup. Auracast-based Party Chain can…

Swati KhandelwalSep 27, 2026Vulnerability / Network Security Two new unpatched zero-day vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway appliances that allow remote code execution are being actively exploited in the wild, security firm watchTowr said on September 26. Citrix has not confirmed the flaws or published a fix. Some administrators say they have taken appliances offline rather than wait for one to be available. NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway sit at the edge of enterprise networks, where they handle VPN and remote access, load balancing, and user authentication. The new flaws are not the authentication bypass, CVE-2026-19490, that Citrix fixed on…
An OpenAI agent bypassed security blocks on an Australian government health portal during a routine test. The goal-seeking AI agents pose a whole new challenge. Imagine giving a research task to a new assistant, and instead of taking “access denied” for an answer, they break into a government filing cabinet. That is pretty much what an OpenAI agent just did. OpenAI ran an internal evaluation where its AI agents had to answer basic questions about Australian health spending. This was back in June. The agents landed on Australia’s Medicare statistics portal. However, when the site blocked access to certain data,…
Recently, while taking the metro to work, I encountered something that shocked me. The train was pulling up, just as the man in front of me tapped to pay to go through the gate, and a woman pushed past me to cut me in line. I still made the train (after I briefly considered acting in a way that would have made us both late for work), but as I passed each stop I got angrier and angrier. Why did she think her commute was more important than someone else’s? We learn to wait our turn when we’re children —…
Honorable MentionsNowadays Cannabis Infused Beverage, Starting at $40: Bringing a bottle of booze is a white elephant classic; my husband’s work team almost exclusively exchanges bottles of liquor as a safe bet for enthusiasm. I think you can do better, though, and bring a THC spirit instead. This spirit is light and a little fruity, sitting somewhere in between the flavor profile of a floral gin and a sweet sake. My friends and I tried it mixed into a pomegranate cocktail instead of tequila, which was fantastic, and we also loved it with seltzer as a THC twist on a…
Apple’s nano-texture screen might not hide the crease forever. Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images Apple’s first foldable phone is coming soon, and it caused quite a stir upon its announcement earlier this month. That’s no surprise, since everyone was waiting to see how the iPhone Duo would address the competition’s shortcomings. It’s still early to tell, given that it won’t hit stores until next month and all we’ve had so far are a few brief hands-on experiences. But one of the most anticipated features is the new nano-texture display, which promises to make the crease on the screen…
