The Promptware Kill Chain Attacks against modern generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) pose a real threat. Yet discussions around these attacks and their potential defenses are dangerously myopic. The dominant narrative focuses on “prompt injection,” a set of techniques to embed instructions into inputs to LLM intended to perform malicious activity. This term suggests a simple, singular vulnerability. This framing obscures a more complex and dangerous reality. Attacks on LLM-based systems have evolved into a distinct class of malware execution mechanisms, which we term “promptware.” In a new paper, we, the authors, propose a structured seven-step “promptware…

floLIVE, a global enabler of IoT connectivity solutions, has announced that it has launched operational support for GSMA SGP.32 across its global IoT infrastructure through its relationship with Kigen, a global leader in eSIM and remote SIM provisioning technologies. As a result, floLIVE can support customer requirements that range from full SGP.32 compliant operations to a broad range of hybrid deployment models that combine elements of SGP.32 with proven multi-IMSI connectivity using eSIM and other SIM formats. “Delivering immediate access to SGP.32 capabilities, as well as hybrid connectivity, allows us to support a broad range of deployment demands from enterprises,…

Slapping the word “luxury” on a phone’s branding is a pretty bold move, but that is exactly how Motorola is marketing its new Signature phone.A luxury product is a desirable one. So when Motorola introduces the Signature as its luxury flagship priced similarly to an iPhone 17 Pro or Galaxy S25 Plus, the question is will it be as desirable as those heavy hitters?The basicsJudging by the spec sheet, Motorola’s Signature sounds more than capable enough to be considered a pure flagship specimen.It comes with a 6.8-inch display that’s smooth and gorgeous, with high levels of contrast and accurate color…

A new framework explains direct transitions between ordered states, offering insights into real quantum materials Marbled painting (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Aniebert Galen) In this work, the researchers theoretically explore how quantum materials can transition continuously from one ordered state to another, for example, from a magnetic phase to a phase with crystalline or orientational order. Traditionally, such order‑to‑order transitions were thought to require fractionalisation, where particles effectively split into exotic components. Here, the team identifies a new route that avoids this complexity entirely. Their mechanism relies on two renormalisation‑group fixed points in the system colliding and annihilating, which reshapes the flow of…

Streaming services have revolutionized content delivery, sending linear media companies into a panic as they watch traditional cable services decay. “Cutting the cord” is a common practice these days, but the streaming landscape isn’t perfect. We’re a decade into streaming so I wanted to share my thoughts on the state of new media: first impressions, second thoughts, and the third degree! Netflix is king thanks to having first mover advantage, and making smart financial moves over the past six months, but Netflix’s content is unremarkable. Their recent wins are USA’s Suits and content licensed from Max…they need to do better…The…

This post first appeared on Addy Osmani’s Elevate Substack newsletter and is being republished here with the author’s permission.TL;DR: Aim for a clear spec covering just enough nuance (this may include structure, style, testing, boundaries. . .) to guide the AI without overwhelming it. Break large tasks into smaller ones versus keeping everything in one large prompt. Plan first in read-only mode, then execute and iterate continuously.“I’ve heard a lot about writing good specs for AI agents, but haven’t found a solid framework yet. I could write a spec that rivals an RFC, but at some point the context is too large…

This could simply be a matter of scale, given there are millions more iPhone users than before — and millions more second-user devices that may not run the latest systems. It might also reflect a change in people’s attitudes toward updates, and quite possibly reflects the fact that Apple is becoming more proactive at ensuring security updates are installed even without major point upgrades. The main thing is that people upgrade eventually.  Apple has become a lot more iterative in its approach to updates; while it does ship compelling upgrades from time-to-time, it typically teases out big feature improvements along…

Events An impressive arrangement of local and state broadband leaders from the Lone Star State will take center stage at Connected America in Texas.

This post is co-written with Moshiko Ben Abu, Software Engineer at CyberArk. CyberArk achieved up to 95% reduction in case resolution time using Amazon Bedrock and Apache Iceberg. This improvement addresses a challenge in technical support workflow: when a support engineer receives a new customer case, the biggest bottleneck is often not diagnosing the problem but preparing the data. Customer logs arrive in different formats from multiple vendors, and each new log format typically requires manual integration and correlation before an investigation can begin. For simple cases, this process can take hours. For more complex investigations, it can take days, slowing resolution…
