The Hacker NewsMay 13, 2026Cloud Security / Automation Security teams today have more insight into their environments than ever before, yet they struggle more than ever to confirm that their fixes remain effective over time. According to Mandiant’s M-Trends 2026 report, the average time to exploit a vulnerability is now estimated at negative seven days. Meanwhile, the Verizon 2025 DBIR reports that the median time to fix edge device vulnerabilities stands at 32 days. These figures have rightly pushed the industry to focus on better prioritization and faster patching. That guidance is essential. But it’s only part of the picture.…

This guide walks you through building a realistic Zero-Trust network simulation. We’ll model a micro-segmented environment using a directed graph and ensure every request undergoes continuous verification. We create a dynamic policy engine that combines ABAC-style permissions with device posture checks, MFA, path reachability, zone sensitivity, and real-time risk signals such as anomaly detection and volume-based indicators. Finally, we deploy this model via a Flask API and simulate mixed traffic, including insider lateral movement and data exfiltration attempts, to demonstrate how trust scoring, adaptive controls, and automated quarantines block malicious flows in real time.

The Trump administration has announced that David Venturella, previously a senior official at a private prison company, will take over as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement once the current head steps down later this month. A Department of Homeland Security representative confirmed Tuesday evening that Venturella will replace Todd Lyons, who has steered ICE through most of the administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. ICE had not yet replied to a Wednesday email requesting further details. Venturella departed Geo Group in early 2023 and has since been at ICE managing the unit responsible for detention contract oversight, according…

Image courtesy of ADI The closer robots get to people, the more essential it becomes for them to perceive, hear, and respond instantly. Creating a humanoid robot is among the most challenging tasks in modern robotics. On its own, such a system must handle movement, balance, vision, and responsiveness through an intricate network of joints, sensors, and data processing. This challenge intensifies when the robot operates in spaces shared with people. As humans, we perform most actions instinctively. We gauge our center of gravity and make adjustments to run, jump, or sidestep a collision. We absorb enormous amounts of sound…

p # Introduction Self-hosting typically starts with a basic objective: running a tool on your personal server instead of being dependent on a third-party service. However, it soon expands into something far more comprehensive. When you start hosting your own applications, you naturally pick up knowledge about how modern infrastructure operates, covering everything from deployment and networking to storage, monitoring, backups, and system reliability. The best way to develop these skills is through hands-on experience with real projects. Fortunately, many open-source communities document their tools, deployment workflows, and infrastructure practices directly on GitHub. These repositories frequently feature guides, configuration examples,…

A crypto market structure bill that has been stuck for a long time is now advancing through Congress with fresh energy — and the chief executive of Coinbase believes it has the potential to transform the U.S. financial landscape.

He added that the legislation is in the strongest position he has witnessed since talks first began. In an interview with Fox News, Armstrong made these…

The Mythos Moment marks the turning point at which the industry finally grasped that human-led cybersecurity teams simply cannot keep up with the pace and scale of AI-powered cyberattacks. In response to this realization, the CSA published guidance in The ‘AI Vulnerability Storm’: Building a ‘Mythos-ready’ Security Program, recommending: “Integrate AI agents throughout your entire security operations so defenders can match the speed of attackers and start narrowing the gap.” This advice is sound—if your organization can implement it effectively. Amid the flood of newly discovered vulnerabilities, only a fraction will apply to any specific environment, and an even smaller…
