‘A cure on the horizon’: Are we finally close to ending type 1 diabetes?
My first clue that something was wrong was the smell of cotton candy. It was March 15, 2016, and I was changing my toddler’s sheets because he had soaked through his diaper. The bed was wet, but it didn’t smell like urine. Other details I’d brushed off came to mind, and I began to worry. […]

How SOCs solve critical risks in three steps
The attack surface no longer exists on a single operating system, nor are the campaigns targeting it. In enterprise environments, attackers move Windows endpoints, executive MacBooks, Linux infrastructure, and mobile devices, taking advantage of the fact that many SOC workflows are still fragmented by platform. For security leaders, this creates a costly operational gap. This […]

Our species, Homo sapiens, is the most geographically diverse of all primate species, permanently inhabiting every continent except Antarctica.

How LiteLLM turned developer machines into attackers’ credential vaults
The most active enterprise infrastructure within a company is the developer workstation. That laptop is where credentials are created, tested, cached, copied, and reused across services, bots, build tools, and now local AI agents. In March 2026, TeamPCP threat actors proved how valuable developer machines can be. A supply chain attack against LiteLLM, a popular […]
I went to Finland to hear about a new “sand battery” that converts stored renewable energy back into electricity for the grid.
PORNAINEN, Finland — Engineers will soon begin testing new “sand batteries” that can convert energy stored as heat into electricity and feed it into the power grid.

Now, new research offers a potential solution to this astrophysical puzzle. That means they’re hungry for gas. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have enormous gravitational appetites and were able to grow at an astonishing […]
