It’s budget season. Again, security is being questioned, scrutinized or stripped. If you are a CISO or security leader, you will notice that the program explains why it is important, why certain tools or personnel are essential, and why the next violation is one blind spot. However, these discussions are often lacking unless framed in a way that the board can understand and appreciate. Gartner’s analysis shows that 88% of boards view cybersecurity as a business risk rather than an IT issue, but many security leaders still struggle to raise the profile of cybersecurity within their organizations. For security issues…
The transition to sustainable transportation expands beyond batteries. Innovations in hydrogen fuel cells, sustainable aviation fuels and biofuels are gaining traction. These green fuels promise reduced emissions and increased efficiency in various sectors. However, research, infrastructure and collaboration remain major challenges. As the world shifts to a more environmentally friendly energy landscape, the potential impact of these developments ensures thorough investigation. What does this multi-fuel future look like? Beyond Plugs: A New Era for Transport Decarbonization How can the transport sector effectively move from fossil fuels? This question is looming heavily as global efforts to combat climate change intensifies. The…
The PFASER electrooxidation process, which includes a patented boron-doped diamond electrode, is set up to provide groundbreaking on-site processing of PFA with zero sludge, combined with a proprietary chlorate removal process. The intrinsic chemistry of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) makes them highly resistant to conventional treatments. As a result, these toxic molecules are ubiquitous as they can be found almost anywhere on Earth, including water, soil, and creatures. In response, governments around the world are pushing forward with new PFA regulations and guidelines, tightening thresholds, limiting non-essential use, and calling for greater accountability for long-term impacts. For the majority…
September 9, 2025Ravi LakshmananCryptocurrency/Software Security Multiple NPM packages have been compromised as part of a software supply chain attack after the maintainer’s account was compromised in a phishing attack. The attack targeted Josh Junon (aka QIX) who received an email message mimicking NPM (support @npmjs[.]Help) and click on the embedded link to prompt you to update your two-factor authentication (2FA) credentials by September 10, 2025. The phishing page is said to have prompted the co-mentor to enter a username, password, and a two-factor authentication (2FA) token. The next 20 packages that collectively attract more than 2 billion downloads each week…
September 9, 2025Ravi LakshmananCyberspy/Telecom Security Threat Hunter discovered a set of domains that had not been reported before returning to May 2020. “The domain dates back several years ago and further confirms that the oldest registration activity occurred in May 2020 and that the 2024 chloride attack was not the first activity carried out by this group,” Silent Push said in a new analysis she shares with Hacker News. The identified infrastructure, which is a total of 45 domains, has been identified as sharing some degree of overlap with another China-related hacking group tracked as UNC4841, best known for its…
Cybersecurity is a large sector, but startups in the category are more likely to be acquired than they are publicly available. Even Wiz, who had held the title of the fastest growing startup for a while, gave up his IPO ambitions when he agreed to sell to Google earlier this year. Over the past few years, there have been few significant cybersecurity debuts like the 2021 Sentinel Lawn and last year’s Rubrik. Next week, the sector will add another public company called Netskope, the cloud cybersecurity platform. The 13-year-old startup shares the earliest and largest investors with Rubrik: Lightspeed Venture…
X enthusiast and Reddit shareholder Sam Altman had an epiphany on Monday. The bots made it impossible to determine whether social media posts were actually written by humans, he posted. The realization came when I was reading (and sharing) several posts from R/ClaudeCode SubredDit, which praised Openai Codex. Openai launched a software programming service in May that took over Claude code for Anthropic. Recently, its subreddit announced that posts from self-proclaimed code users have been so filled that it has moved to a codex where one Reddit user joked. This made Altman wonder how many of those posts were from…
The deep nuclear fission of nuclear power generation announced Monday that it was revealed in a reverse merger, winning the company $30 million. No, not 2021. The startup proposes building a small, cylindrical nuclear power plant and lowering it into a 30-inch diameter hole drilled into the Earth a mile. By filling the reactor, the company hopes to solve several issues that plague the reactors today, including concerns about meltdowns and potential terrorist attacks. The 15-megawatt reactor of deep fission is cooled using pressurized water, the same type found in nuclear submarines and many existing power plants. Earlier this year,…
Social networking startup Bluesky rolls out one of the most demanding features for users. No, it’s not an edit button. – Bookmarks. The company announced a new addition on Monday, called Saved Posts. This feature provides access to the new bookmark icon below each post, next to your heart. Saved posts can be viewed at any time from the new “Save” section of the app’s main navigation. Like social apps as they both provide a way to mark posts that you will refer to later! Having both and bookmarks may seem redundant, but bookmarks offer a private alternative to “likes.”…
