Security teams today are not failing because they lack tools. Most organizations already have firewalls, EDR, SIEM, cloud monitoring, and multiple detection layers. Yet attackers still manage to enter networks, stay hidden, and move laterally before detection. That gap between entry and detection is the real challenge. This creates pressure for CISOs and SOC leaders. Analysts deal with alert fatigue, unclear signals, and limited time. When alerts are uncertain, response slows. And when response slows, business risk increases. Security teams want clearer signals, earlier detection, and measurable cyber deception ROI — not just more alerts. This is where cyber deception…

Are self-driving vehicles really just big, remote-controlled cars, with nameless and faceless people in far-off call centers piloting the things from behind consoles? As the vehicles and their science-fiction-like software expand to more cities, the conspiracy theory has rocketed around group chats and TikToks. It’s been powered, in part, by the reluctance of self-driving car companies to talk in specifics about the humans who help make their robots go.But this month, in government documents submitted by Alphabet subsidiary Waymo and electric-auto maker Tesla, the companies have revealed more details about the people and programs that help the vehicles when their…

For years, the inner workings of large language models (LLMs) like Llama and Claude have been compared to a “black box” – vast, complex, and notoriously difficult to steer. But a team of researchers from UC San Diego and MIT has just published a study in the Science Journal that suggests this box isn’t quite as mysterious as we thought. The team has discovered that complex concepts within AI – ranging from specific languages like Hindi to abstract ideas like conspiracy theories – are actually stored as simple, straight lines, or vectors, within the model’s mathematical space. By using a new…

Ravie LakshmananFeb 20, 2026Vulnerability / Cyber Attack Threat actors have been observed exploiting a recently disclosed critical security flaw impacting BeyondTrust Remote Support (RS) and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) products to conduct a wide range of malicious actions, including deploying VShell and  The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-1731 (CVSS score: 9.9), allows attackers to execute operating system commands in the context of the site user. In a report published Thursday, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 said it detected the security flaw being actively exploited in the wild for network reconnaissance, web shell deployment, command-and-control (C2), backdoor and remote management tool installs,…

Editor’s Note: The following article has been updated to reflect the latest statement from Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC). Tipsy Bird is owned by local hospitality group Tipsy Collective, which has faced years of legal disputes Sentosa beach club Tipsy Unicorn has ceased operations after its operator was ordered into compulsory liquidation by the Singapore High Court. According to a report by The Straits Times, the venue’s operator, Tipsy Bird, was wound up on Jan 23 this year after United Overseas Bank (UOB) filed a winding-up application. Court documents seen by the publication showed that the bank is seeking to recover more than S$96,000 in debt and interest. However,…

Real-time voice recognition has become so common that many of us now take it for granted. But that convenience is the product of years of deep learning research and products that yielded more frustration than results. It turns out that simultaneous voice transcription is one of the hardest engineering problems in modern artificial intelligence, for reasons that have more to do with the foibles of human speech and our lack of tolerance for delay than with the underlying technology. Voice is where many AI systems first break down, especially as companies rush to deploy agents in customer-facing environments, said Scott…

By now, ChatGPT, Claude, and other large language models have accumulated so much human knowledge that they’re far from simple answer-generators; they can also express abstract concepts, such as certain tones, personalities, biases, and moods. However, it’s not obvious exactly how these models represent abstract concepts to begin with from the knowledge they contain.Now a team from MIT and the University of California San Diego has developed a way to test whether a large language model (LLM) contains hidden biases, personalities, moods, or other abstract concepts. Their method can zero in on connections within a model that encode for a concept…

NASA’s Space Launch System rocket stands on its Florida launch pad. (NASA Photo / Aubrey Gemignani) NASA counted down to T-minus 29 seconds tonight during a rehearsal for a historic launch that could send astronauts around the moon for the first time in more than half a century. The run-through at Launch Complex 39B, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, was known as a wet dress rehearsal because it involved filling up the propellant tanks on NASA’s Space Launch System — a 322-foot-tall rocket that made its debut during 2022’s uncrewed Artemis 1 mission. The only major component that was…

AI has escaped the geopolitical borders. Every country wants it for itself for innovation and growth. Sundar Pichai is its poster boy. AI has dominated conversations across both private and public ones. But India’s AI summit was a different ride altogether. It was a congregation of people deciding the fate of the world with this unimaginable power. Of course, the scale of what we know about AI and what it will do to our society is yet unknown. But that hasn’t stopped world leaders from investing in it nor using it- and leading this change is Mr. Pichai, Google and…

Introduction Generative AI is no longer just a playground experiment—it’s the backbone of customer support agents, content generation tools, and industrial analytics. By early 2026, enterprise AI budgets more than doubled compared with two years prior. The shift from one‑time training costs to continuous inference means that every user query triggers compute cycles and token consumption. In other words, artificial intelligence now carries a real monthly invoice. Without deliberate cost controls, teams run the risk of runaway bills, misaligned spending, or even “denial‑of‑wallet” attacks, where adversaries exploit expensive models while staying under basic rate limits. This article offers a comprehensive…
