The Hacker NewsAug 10, 2026Software Supply Chain / DevSecOps AI is helping development teams produce far more code, far faster. But security teams still have to review vulnerabilities, manage dependencies, prioritize fixes, and control risk at human speed. When software output jumps 10 to 50 times, the problem is no longer just finding vulnerabilities. It is keeping security from becoming the bottleneck, or worse, losing control of what gets shipped. In our latest webinar with Chainguard experts, “The True Cost of Building at Machine Speed,” you can now watch how security teams can keep AI-driven development fast without letting risk…
Graph neural networks are reshaping how enterprises hunt for fraud, moving detection beyond isolated transactions to reveal entire hidden networks of bad actors. As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are discovering that the real breakthrough isn’t just faster models — it’s a data structure built to expose relationships that traditional systems miss. That shift is playing out at scale in pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting work, where fraud detection is a common use case for graph-powered systems, according to Thomas Luu (pictured), director of global product security at Gilead Sciences Inc. Luu’s team investigates counterfeit drugs and fraud across Gilead’s global commercial business, work…

Google’s effort to keep malware off Blogger briefly ended up locking out legitimate publishers instead. Beginning Tuesday, August 4, hundreds of Blogger sites were flagged under the platform’s Malware and Similar Malicious Content policy. The incident resulted in blogs being locked, hidden from public view, or deleted despite showing no evidence of malware infection. For online platforms, the incident is a reminder that their ability to reach their audience ultimately depends on systems they neither control nor fully understand. When those systems make mistakes, even temporarily, the consequences can be catastrophic. False malware alerts lock Blogger sites Several Blogger site…
OpenAI asks a federal judge to toss Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit, calling the claims a distraction from Apple’s own AI struggles. Tech legal battles rarely get this blunt. OpenAI just asked a federal judge to throw out Apple’s high-stakes trade secrets lawsuit, and it did not hold back. Apple sued OpenAI last month, accusing the ChatGPT creator and two former Apple employees of stealing hardware secrets to build consumer AI devices. But OpenAI called the lawsuit “baseless,” “pretextual,” and “rotten to its core” in a sharp motion to dismiss. OpenAI argues that Apple uses litigation to cloak its own talent…
If Google’s Pixel line of phones is best known for anything, it’s impressive software that elevates the photos its cameras capture. This year’s Made By Google event, which kicks off at 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Aug. 12, will likely see the Pixel 11 phones shown off — a standard, Pro, and Pro XL version most likely — along with the next Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Rumors also point to a Pixel Watch 5. And everything will likely get a good dose of Gemini AI. Last year, Google added features to its Pixel phones that relied on Gemini generative…
For more than a decade, the Apple Watch has looked like a tiny computer strapped to the wrist. But what if Apple made it look like an actual watch instead? Recent reports suggest that Apple is considering round displays for future Apple Watch models, alongside other design ideas as the company rethinks its wearable lineup. Nothing has been finalized, but the possibility raises a fascinating question: would a circular Apple Watch actually be better, or would Apple be fixing something that isn’t broken? I think the answer depends on what Apple wants the Watch to be. A circle could finally…
