John Solly, a software engineer and former member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is the DOGE operative reportedly accused in a whistleblower complaint of telling colleagues that he stored sensitive Social Security Administration (SSA) data on a thumb drive and wanted to share the information with his new employer, multiple sources tell WIRED.Since October, according to a copy of his résumé, Solly has worked as the chief technology officer for the health IT division of a government contractor called Leidos, which has already received millions in SSA contracts and could receive up to $1.5 billion in contracts…

Phishing has quietly turned into one of the hardest enterprise threats to expose early. Instead of crude lures and obvious payloads, modern campaigns rely on trusted infrastructure, legitimate-looking authentication flows, and encrypted traffic that conceals malicious behavior from traditional detection layers. For CISOs, the priority is now clear: scale phishing detection in a way that helps the SOC uncover real risk before it becomes credential theft, business interruption, and board-level fallout. Why Scaling Phishing Detection Has Become a Priority for Modern SOCs For many security teams, phishing is no longer a single alert to investigate — it is a continuous…

After spending many years as the public face of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan stayed well out of the limelight after leaving Blizzard in 2021. Five years later, the former Blizzard vice president and Overwatch lead director is back with his own studio and a new game, which you might be able to play pretty soon.The Legend of California is billed as an open-world, action-survival shooter. It looks like a mix of Red Dead Redemption and Rust (Rust Dead Redemption, if you will). It’s set during the gold rush era, but Kaplan says he and his team at Kintsugiyama were not aiming…

Thenovi AI Ltd., a company developing an interaction infrastructure for artificial intelligence agents, today announced the launch of its developer platform that connects coding agents for shared conversations. As more coders adopt AI agents, they have begun to specialize them into different roles: planning, review, integration and testing. This is because, in many cases, developers discovered certain models have different quirks that make them more efficient at particular tasks. For example, a developer might use Claude Code to orchestrate a workflow and provide high-level planning and architecture, Codex for code implementation, and a fleet of other agents for testing and…

Meta has unveiled four new chips it designed to handle tasks like training and running AI models and serving recommendations across its social media platforms and other services.The new chips are part of Meta’s Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) family and are designed to be used in data centers. Meta has been designing its own silicon for a few years now, largely as a way to cut the cost of powering its AI and recommendation systems. The company says it needs custom chips to keep up with demand for AI-driven services.Google, Amazon and Microsoft have also been designing their…

Every SaaS company is chasing the same benchmarks. CAC payback, NRR, Rule of 40. What if optimizing for the median is exactly what’s holding you back? Most SaaS leaders enter Q1 with a benchmarking deck and quiet confidence. The CAC payback period looks defensible. NRR is sitting just above 100%. The Rule of 40 is in range. By every standard measure, the business is performing. But “performing” against median benchmarks is not the same as winning. And right now, in 2025, it might actually be the same as falling behind, especially for companies trying to apply generic SaaS growth strategies…

Young adults growing up in the attention economy — preparing for adult life, with social media and chatbots competing for their attention — can easily fall into unhealthy relationships with digital platforms. But what if chatbots weren’t mere distractions from real life? Could they be designed humanely, as moral partners whose digital goal is to be a social guide rather than an addictive escape?At MIT, a friendship between two professors — one an anthropologist, the other a computer scientist — led to creation of an undergraduate class that set out to find the answer to those questions. Combining the two…

Hello Cyber Builders 🖖Your security stack is built on a model that was never designed to survive what’s coming.Seat licenses. Annual renewals. Feature tier upgrades. That’s the architecture of every major security vendor you rely on — your SIEM, your EDR, your GRC platform, your identity solution.It was a great model. It made vendors rich. It gave you predictability. And it is fundamentally changing. In this issue, we step back from cybersecurity to examine two forces transforming the software landscape. First, AGC’s private equity data shows that SaaS growth, valuation, and exit dynamics are slowing, challenging the traditional focus on short-term…
