: Why the Threat Model Changes Most AI security efforts center on the model itself: what it outputs, what it declines, and how it processes harmful prompts. This approach was logical when AI operated purely as a text-based interface. A user submits a query, and the model replies. The scope of potential attacks was limited and clearly understood. AI agents fundamentally reshape this landscape. An AI agent goes far beyond generating text. It formulates plans, interacts with tools, retains memory across multiple sessions, and frequently collaborates with other agents to accomplish complex, multi-step objectives. Consider the distinction between a GPS…

One of those decisions that seems simple until you actually have to measure it. A customer’s introductory rate expires, the invoice goes up, and you want to know whether the price increase hurt retention. Straightforward enough in theory. The problem is that something else is almost always happening at the same time. The initiative that drove the original purchase — whether it was a system migration, compliance push, sales transformation, or product launch — has already wrapped up. The team that championed the tool has moved on to the next priority. And the product that once felt essential is quietly…

After failing to break through the $2,400 resistance level, Ether (ETH) has pulled back over 5.6% to trade around $2,275. At this point, several indicators suggest ETH/USD could potentially dip below the $2,000 mark.Key highlights:Declining network activity points to lower usage and shrinking on-chain demand for ETH.The Coinbase Premium remains in negative territory as spot Ethereum ETF outflows resume, signaling strong selling pressure from U.S.-based investors.A falling wedge pattern on Ether’s chart projects a potential downside target of $1,830.Ethereum’s total value locked reaches 12-month lowsEthereum’s network fundamentals are showing signs of strain. According to Nansen data, weekly average transactions fell…

The notorious ShinyHunters hacking group has launched yet another cyberattack on education technology leader Instructure. By exploiting a security flaw, they took control of Canvas login pages across hundreds of colleges and universities, displaying threatening messages. The unauthorized messages were visible for about half an hour before being removed. In them, ShinyHunters claimed credit for a previous attack on Instructure and demanded payment to prevent stolen data from being made public. The attackers gave a clear deadline, stating that both Instructure and educational institutions have until May 12 to reach out for ransom discussions, or they will release students’ personal…

On April 29, 2026, a Linux kernel local privilege escalation vulnerability was publicly disclosed under the name “Copy Fail” (CVE-2026-31431). As soon as it was disclosed, Cloudflare’s Security and Engineering teams began assessing the vulnerability. They reviewed the exploit technique, evaluated its impact on our infrastructure, and confirmed that our existing behavioral detections could spot the exploit within minutes.There was no impact to the Cloudflare environment, no customer data was exposed, and all services continued to function without interruption at all times. Discover how our preparedness played a role in ensuring this.  Our approach to Linux kernel releases Cloudflare manages…

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News.Geoforce has launched the GT1rugged cellular asset tracker engineered for non-powered industrial equipment, running on AT&T’s network. This launch is noteworthy because it broadens Geoforce’s industrial tracking range beyond satellite-focused setups to include more affordable cellular solutions.For teams handling industrial IoT, the toughest assets to digitize aren’t always the most complex machines. Instead, they’re the unpowered, widely scattered equipment pieces moving between yards, job sites, depots, and field operations without any onboard telematics. Traditionally, tracking these assets has meant compromising between ruggedness and coverage on one hand, and device and connectivity costs…

As factories and plants begin integrating artificial intelligence into their operations, most of the conversation has centered around tools, platforms, and performance metrics. However, Chris Draper, CEO and co-founder of morriganAI and author of Safe AI Basics (and co-author of Governing Artificial Intelligence), believes the true danger lies in the way people interact with these systems over extended periods. According to Draper, this relationship between humans and machines is one of the most neglected elements of rolling out AI, particularly in settings where people are assigned to oversee automated processes. “If you assign a person to perform a repetitive task…

When you send a message to Claude, there’s an invisible process happening behind the scenes. Your words get transformed into long sequences of numbers called activations, which the model relies on to understand context and craft its replies. These activations essentially house the model’s “thought process.” The catch is that no one can easily interpret them. Anthropic has spent years tackling this challenge, building tools such as sparse autoencoders and attribution graphs to make activations more transparent. However, those methods still generate complex results that demand skilled researchers to manually decode them. Now, Anthropic has unveiled a new approach called…

# Introduction OpenCode plugins are extensions that enhance the functionality of the OpenCode AI coding assistant. They offer additional tools, integrations, and workflow improvements such as long-term memory, terminal interaction, web search with citations, reusable skills, and usage analytics. These plugins allow developers to tailor OpenCode for more sophisticated coding, research, and automation tasks. In this article, we explore seven OpenCode plugins that distinguish themselves through their utility, features, and increasing popularity within the community. Collectively, they demonstrate how plugins can transform the OpenCode agent into a more powerful, adaptable, and practical tool for daily development work. # 1. Oh…

Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics have reached extreme value levels typically associated with market cycle bottoms, despite the price having only fallen about 40% from its peak. This decline is significantly smaller than the 75% to 85% drops that characterized previous bear markets. Six popular indicators are now telling the same story. They depict a market that has corrected sharply without an euphoric peak, while long-term holders showed no signs of selling. BTC weekly chart and 200-day moving average.
