AI is changing cybercrime, but SMB cyber readiness still largely depends on closing the familiar gaps 03 Jul 2026  •  , 5 min. read AI is changing attackers’ toolkits. It can help criminals write better lures, scale social engineering and speed up reconnaissance, all while generally lowering the barrier to entry for less skilled attackers. Organizations are right to pay attention, especially because malicious use of AI makes old gaps a more urgent test of an organization’s cyber readiness. Meanwhile, the first points of failure remain strikingly familiar and typically involve the usual suspects, such as a phishing link that…

Organizations managing IoT at scale face a critical business challenge: every hour of equipment downtime costs thousands in lost revenue, while untapped sensor data represents missed opportunities for operational optimization. Research shows that digital maintenance and reliability transformations can increase asset availability by 5–15 percent and reduce maintenance costs by 18–25 percent (McKinsey), translating to significant recovered revenue annually. Yet many organizations face a perceived trade-off: invest in real-time systems that can’t handle historical analysis or build batch pipelines that miss critical anomalies. Meanwhile, complex analytics tools lock insights behind SQL expertise, leaving business stakeholders unable to access the data…

World, the online verification startup co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, has raised $52.5 million through a crypto token sale to strategic investors. Participating investors joined a 12-month lockup sale of World’s token, WLD. Lockup periods prevent asset buyers from selling or trading their tokens for a set period of time. The year-long lockup demonstrates investors’ “long-term commitment to World’s continued growth and utility,” the company said Friday in a press release. The money will go to the World Foundation, an exempted limited guarantee foundation based in the Cayman Islands, created to steward the expansion of World’s network. The sale’s lead…

Open a 15-year-old codebase, and it’s rarely obvious what project you’re looking at. There are folders nobody wants to touch, classes with thousands of lines of code, business rules copied across multiple modules, comments referring to developers who left a decade ago, and almost no documentation explaining why anything works the way it does. Now imagine opening that same project with a modern AI coding assistant. If you’ve watched demos on artificial intelligence, you might expect the assistant to instantly understand the architecture, explain every dependency, modernize legacy code, and produce a clean migration plan. In reality, that’s not what…

Mixins, HOC, render props, and Hooks are four ways to reuse componentsPhoto by Vlada Karpovich from PexelsNow frontend engineering is more and more important. Although Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V can also be used to complete requirements, once they are modified, it becomes a huge task. Therefore, copying of code is reduced, and the packaging and reuse capabilities are increased to achieve maintainability and reversibility. The code used becomes particularly important.In React, components are the main unit of code reuse. The combination-based component reuse mechanism is quite elegant, but for more fine-grained logic (state logic, behavior logic, etc.), reuse is not so easy.…

Venice scales to 256 Zen 6 cores with support for 512 threads, 16 memory channels, up to 1GB of L3 cache per socket, along with PCIe 6.0 and CXL 3.1 connectivity. AMD is also offering several Venice configurations for other applications, including general-purpose servers, high-frequency workloads, GPU hosts and high-density CPU sandbox systems used to execute agent tools. Treating the CPU solely as a GPU host understates its role. Gateways, tokenization, vector search, databases and short-lived code execution stress different mixes of per-core performance, thread count, memory bandwidth and I/O. Specifically, AMD’s internal testing shows Venice significantly outperforming its current…

Partner Article  If you have attended any Mobile World Congress event in recent years, you will never have been far away from a robot. From mechanical dogs prowling the halls at trade shows to robotic baristas serving coffee, robots have long been a novel way to demonstrate the power of mobile technology.  With the advent of AI, however, the embodied AI is being springboarded towards practical deployments, with autonomous operations becoming increasingly viable. From Honor’s humanoid robot ‘Lightning’, which broke the human world record for a half-marathon earlier this year, to robot dogs helping provide security at the FIFA World Cup, the robotic era is almost upon us. AI that had once been confined to a phone or laptop screen will soon be making the leap to the physical world.  What does that boom in physical AI mean for networks? …

MIT researchers are set to contribute to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Genesis Mission, with 15 collaborative projects among those selected for funding under Genesis Phase I, DOE announced Wednesday.The Genesis Mission, a national initiative, intends to build “the world’s most powerful integrated science discovery platform” by incentivizing cross-sector collaborations that leverage AI, supercomputing, quantum systems, and advanced scientific instruments to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery, and national security.“MIT researchers are proud to be leading and contributing to projects under the Genesis Mission, in vital areas of research that support national priorities,” says Ian A. Waitz, MIT’s vice president for…
