There is a weakness in Earth’s magnetic field that is growing stronger, endangering astronauts and satellites.
More than 10 years of measurements from three Earth-orbiting observatories show that weak areas of Earth’s protective magnetic field are expanding, exposing orbiting satellites and astronauts to more solar radiation. Observations by the European Space Agency’s Swarm 3 satellite show that Earth’s already weak magnetic field over the South Atlantic Ocean, a region known as […]
New ‘dragon hatching’ AI architecture modeled after the human brain could be a key step towards AGI, researchers claim
Researchers have designed a new type of large-scale language model (LLM) that they propose can bridge the gap between artificial intelligence (AI) and more human-like cognition. Researchers at AI startup Pathway, which developed the model, say the model, called “Dragon Hatching,” is designed to more accurately simulate how neurons in the brain connect and strengthen […]
Why 2026 will be the year of machine speed security
Competition per new CVE Based on multiple industry reports in 2025, approximately 50 to 61 percent of newly disclosed vulnerabilities had exploit code weaponized within 48 hours. Using CISA’s Known and Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog as a reference, we have seen hundreds of software flaws being actively targeted within days of publication. Every new announcement sparks […]

Parts of Arizona are being sucked dry, with land area sinking 6 inches a year, satellite data shows
Satellite data shows some areas of Arizona’s Wilcox Basin are sinking more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) per year, making it the fastest sinking area in the state. This subsidence is the result of intensive groundwater extraction to support agriculture in the region, which lowers the water table in the basin and, with it, the […]
CISA reports critical flaw in WatchGuard Fireware, exposing 54,000 Fireboxes to no-login attack
November 13, 2025Ravi LakshmananVulnerability/Network Security The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a critical security flaw affecting WatchGuard Fireware to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-9242 (CVSS score: 9.3), an out-of-bounds write vulnerability affecting Fireware OS 11.10.2 and later […]
Over 46,000 fake npm packages flood registries with worm-like spam attacks
Cybersecurity researchers are warning of a massive spam campaign that has flooded the npm registry with thousands of fake packages since early 2024, likely as part of a financially motivated effort. “Packages were systematically exposed over an extended period of time, flooding the npm registry with junk packages that survived in the ecosystem for almost […]
Pangea’s ‘warrior’ crocodile ancestors wore plated armor 240 million years ago – just like dinosaurs
Researchers have unearthed a giant “warrior” lizard that attacked Brazil 240 million years ago during the Triassic period, just before the dawn of dinosaurs. The discovery fills a gap in our understanding of the time before dinosaurs dominated the Earth and further highlights the connections between modern-day Africa and South America. The armored reptile resembles […]
