Anthropic reports that its Claude Mythos Preview system is capable of crafting functional attack code targeting known security holes in as little as a few hours, and sometimes mere minutes. Introduced in early April as the company’s most powerful AI model to date, Mythos immediately sparked concern about its potential to dramatically accelerate cyberattacks. Throughout April and May, Anthropic showcased the model’s vulnerability-discovery prowess, highlighting its identification of 271 bugs in Firefox and thousands of critical security weaknesses across more than 1,000 open source software projects. Now, the company reveals that its top-tier AI can go beyond merely finding flaws…

I put this question to every fintech founder I speak with: when did a compliance gap last cost you a deal, hold up a banking partnership, or keep your team working late into the night? The response is nearly always the same. They chuckle, and then share a story. It typically unfolds like this: a large enterprise client sends over a 300-question security questionnaire with a three-week turnaround. Half the responses require supporting evidence in formats nobody has prepared before. The compliance lead, a couple of engineers, and a product manager vanish into a documentation black hole for an…

These workers define their roles as primarily cognitive rather than physical or…

Bitcoin (BTC) buyers held firm at the $60,000 psychological level during last week’s 13% pullback.BTC/USD daily chart. Source: TradingViewHowever, the recovery hasn’t eliminated the bearish risks, as some traders caution that a more significant decline is still possible due to mounting US–Iran tensions and waning expectations for rate cuts.Several Bitcoin valuation and technical metrics now reinforce this outlook, indicating BTC might still dip to $50,000 or even lower in the weeks ahead.Key takeaways:Bitcoin is trading close to its average mining cost of $62,650, but could slide toward the lower electricity cost threshold of $50,120.Glassnode’s MVRV bands place BTC below its…

I’d be happy to help paraphrase that HTML content into clearer, more readable language while preserving the HTML structure. Let me rewrite the security vulnerability descriptions to be more accessible: Product CVE ID Vulnerability Description Risk Level .NET Framework CVE-2026-45491 .NET Framework is vulnerable to code tampering, which could allow attackers to modify application code Important .NET Framework CVE-2026-45490 .NET SDK contains a privilege escalation flaw that could let attackers gain elevated system access Important Active Directory Domain Services CVE-2026-45648 Windows Active Directory Domain Services has a remote code execution vulnerability allowing attackers to run code on targeted systems Critical …

We posted our thoughts on Project Glasswing a few weeks back, sharing what happened when we tested cyber frontier models on our our own codebase. Since that post went live, the idea that has sparked the most conversation is the notion that how you structure your defenses around a weakness in your code is more critical than how fast you patch it.Since publishing, CISOs and security teams have been asking us similar questions: What does a strong architecture look like in practice? What indicators should we keep an eye on? Where should we begin? And what role can Cloudflare play?A…

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News.OQ Technology and Telefónica Germany are gearing up to showcase two-way satellite communication that connects directly to everyday smartphones, all while relying on standard terrestrial mobile spectrum. This trial carries weight for Europe’s growing non-terrestrial network ambitions, as it brings together LEO satellites, licensed operator frequencies, and off-the-shelf consumer handsets.Direct-to-device satellite connectivity has evolved beyond the basic question of whether a phone can pick up a satellite signal. Now, the real challenge lies in figuring out how satellite links can slot into mobile networks that are already tightly regulated, spectrum-limited, and commercially…

# Introduction A simple search on Hugging Face pulls up more than 90,000 text-to-image models. That figure gives you a sense of the scale — it’s not a curated shortlist. Many people looking for a free AI image generator default to Midjourney or DALL-E, not realizing that Hugging Face actually hosts the very models that power those platforms — identical architectures, sometimes even the same weights — accessible at no cost through browser-based Spaces demos or available to download and run on your own machine. This guide narrows down those 90,000+ options to seven models that are genuinely worth exploring…
