Telegram briefly disappeared from Apple’s App Store after a child sexual abuse material violation, showing how quickly a moderation failure can become a distribution problem. Apple temporarily removed the messaging app on Monday after prohibited material was reportedly found on the platform, according to Forbes. Existing installations continued to function, but new downloads and reinstalls were unavailable until Telegram returned to the App Store later that day. The incident highlights a growing reality for platforms built around user-generated content: developers are increasingly judged not only by the software they build, but also by how effectively they police what users share.…

Snap has turned campaign reporting into a conversation. MCPs could change the analyst’s job, but they cannot make the model’s conclusions true. What has Snap launched? On August 3, 2026, Snap launched an official, Snap-hosted MCP server that connects the Snap Ads API to Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. An advertiser can now ask an AI tool to summarize the last seven days of performance, identify the campaigns that changed most week over week, surface diagnostics or find patterns across the last 90 days. No exporting reports. No preparing spreadsheets. No writing API queries. At launch, the connection is read-only. An…

The idea that AI agents need ‘eyes’ – real visual information from the real world, and not just paperwork and dashboards, have become a marker of advancement in construction technology. Yet mostly what has been referred to as an “agent” today is not actually acting based on what it sees. It narrates and alerts while leaving the decisions to a human. Giving a camera does not allow the software to become an agent; it merely gives it more intelligent monitoring capabilities. That difference matters more on a construction site than almost anywhere else AI is being deployed. A retail agent…

Zillow Group’s revenue rose 18% to $772 million in the second quarter, beating its own forecast, but a $36 million restructuring charge from severance and other costs stemming from this week’s layoffs pushed it to a $4 million net loss. The Seattle-based online real estate company, which on Tuesday laid off more than 500 people, or 7% of its workforce, expects the restructuring to cost $59 million to $64 million in total, with the rest recorded in the third quarter, according to the company’s 10-Q regulatory filing. Zillow also announced a series of executive changes, including expanding CFO Jeremy Hofmann‘s…

Counterfeit goods are becoming increasingly sophisticated, forcing brands to rely on expensive authentication systems that often require specialized scanners or proprietary hardware. Researchers now believe a smartphone could do much of that work instead. A team has developed a new printing system that creates responsive anti-counterfeit labels that are more durable, easier to mass-produce, and can be verified using nothing more than a phone. The research was published in the International Journal of Materials and Product Technology. At first glance, the technology looks like another incremental improvement in product security. In reality, it addresses one of the biggest limitations of…

Yes. Fidelis Network® profiles encrypted east-west traffic using metadata attributes extracted during session reconstruction: JA3 and JA3S fingerprints, certificate chain details, cipher suite selections, handshake timing metrics, and packet-size distributions. Machine learning models profile normal encrypted behavior per internal host and flag deviations consistent with C2 tunneling, rogue certificates, or beaconing, without decrypting payload content.

“I have no idea how they got my contact information,” says the engineer. Unlike other interviews for government jobs, the engineer says, there was no recruiter present—only Coristine was on the interview call. “Normally initial screenings are done over the phone, rather than video, to reduce bias in the process,” they say.During the engineer’s NDS interview, they say, Coristine didn’t seem to know the skill set he was looking for. “I generally don’t know if this person is capable of evaluating a full-stack engineer,” they say, “because they themselves aren’t aware of the skill sets, tools, and things needed in…
