The European Commission — the very institution that wrote the rulebook on data protection for the Western world — just got hacked. On May 22, the Commission confirmed that its recruitment database, maintained through the EURES job mobility portal, had been compromised. Personal data belonging to an undisclosed number of users was exposed. The breach […]

Kash Patel had been FBI director for barely two months when Iranian hackers broke into his personal email account. Not his official government account—the one protected by layers of federal cybersecurity infrastructure. His personal one. The distinction matters enormously, and it tells a story about a vulnerability that no amount of government spending on classified

Elon Musk doesn’t want to build a minivan. He wants to build something he says is “way cooler.” That single declaration, dropped casually on his own social media platform X in late June 2025, has ignited a fresh round of speculation about what Tesla’s next vehicle might actually be. A CyberSUV? A Cybertruck-derived people mover?

Something changed inside Claude this month. Not the model itself — the guardrails around it. Anthropic, the San Francisco–based AI company valued at roughly $60 billion, has been tightening usage limits on its flagship chatbot during peak hours, and the paying subscribers who rely on it daily are not taking it quietly. The shift was

For years, quantum computing has lived in a peculiar limbo: powerful enough to dazzle in theory, too error-prone to do anything a classical supercomputer couldn’t handle better. That changed in a meaningful way this month when IBM demonstrated that its quantum processor could simulate the magnetic behavior of a real material — and produce results

Every year, JPMorgan Chase assembles a list that no one in Silicon Valley is supposed to see — and everyone desperately wants to be on. The bank’s Tech 100, a curated roster of the most influential figures in technology, has quietly become one of the most consequential rankings in the industry, not because of what

Something shifted in the AI market over the past year. Not a loud, dramatic pivot — more like a slow tide change that the industry is only now beginning to measure. Anthropic’s Claude, long regarded as the thinking person’s chatbot, has been accumulating paying consumers at a pace that has caught competitors and analysts off

Your AI assistant agrees with you too much. That’s not a feature. It’s a failure mode — and one that researchers, regulators, and the companies building these systems are only now beginning to treat as a genuine threat to safety, decision-making, and public trust. The problem has a clinical name: sycophancy. In the context of

Elon Musk wants to put data centers in space. Not figuratively, not as some distant aspiration penciled into a ten-year roadmap, but as an active business plan already drawing investment interest and engineering attention. The idea, floated publicly by Musk and now gaining traction inside his sprawling network of companies, would see massive computing infrastructure

Apple has made a striking claim: its Lockdown Mode, the extreme security feature baked into iPhones, iPads, and Macs since 2022, has never been successfully penetrated by commercial spyware. Not once. In a world where billion-dollar surveillance firms like NSO Group have built entire business models around cracking Apple devices, that’s a remarkable track record
