As we march into the spring, the global telecoms sector’s proving that there’s no rest for the wicked—or the well-funded. From multi-billion-euro power plays in Europe to the long-awaited unwinding of South American legacies, the deal-making machinery is humming at a high frequency. Whether it’s a ‘lowball’ offer causing a stir in Brazil or a historic merger facing regulatory hurdles in Singapore, this month’s activity confirms that the only constant in telecoms is change. Welcome to the M&A Monthly from TeleGeography’s GlobalComms team, where we track the deals that keep the world connected.
An encoder (optical system) maps objects to noiseless images, which noise corrupts into measurements. Our information estimator uses only these noisy measurements and a noise model to quantify how well measurements distinguish objects. Many imaging systems produce measurements that humans never see or cannot interpret directly. Your smartphone processes raw sensor data through algorithms before producing the final photo. MRI scanners collect frequency-space measurements that require reconstruction before doctors can view them. Self-driving cars process camera and LiDAR data directly with neural networks. What matters in these systems is not how measurements look, but how much useful information they contain.…
Mikko Hyppönen is pacing back and forth on the stage, with his trademark dark blonde ponytail resting on an impeccable teal suit. A seasoned speaker, he is trying to make an important point to a room full of fellow hackers and security researchers at one of the industry’s global annual meet-ups. “I often call this ‘cybersecurity Tetris’,” he tells the audience with a serious face, reeling off the rules of the classic video game. When you complete a whole line of bricks, the row vanishes, leaving the rest of the bricks to fall into a new line. “So your successes…
Artificial intelligence has evolved from a side initiative to a force shaping enterprise data strategy in real time. In our 2026 State of Data Integrity and AI Readiness report, published by Precisely in partnership with the Center for Applied AI and Business Analytics at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business, more than half of data leaders (52%) say AI is the primary force influencing their data programs. Predictive, generative, and Agentic AI are all moving quickly from experimentation to expectation. But beneath that momentum, leaders revealed two deeply connected realities: AI excitement is outpacing organizational readiness. Skill shortages remain one of…
Indirect prompt injection (IPI) is an evolving threat vector targeting users of complex AI applications with multiple data sources, such as Workspace with Gemini. This technique enables the attacker to influence the behavior of an LLM by injecting malicious instructions into the data or tools used by the LLM as it completes the user’s query. This may even be possible without any input directly from the user.IPI is not the kind of technical problem you “solve” and move on. Sophisticated LLMs with increasing use of agentic automation combined with a wide range of content create an ultra-dynamic and evolving playground…
Before I figured out how to use macros to enable SwiftMCP, I experimented a lot with SwiftSyntax and built a project that I called SAAE – Swift AST Abstractor & Editor. Such it lay forgotten on a public GitHub repo. So I figured, it would deserve a new coat of paint and a better name. The CLI of the project has four main functions at this time: analyze – Makes you are cut down interface description for any number of files. This way you can hand the public interface for a framework to your LLM without it having to read…
Earlier this year, NASA administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed that astronauts on the Artemis II mission would be allowed to ”fly with the latest smartphones.” Now, The New York Times has reported what it took to make that happen. No connectivity, just photos and videos Right now, there are four iPhones 17 Pro Max zipping towards the moon at about 25,000 mph. And although this is not the first time an iPhone has been on a space mission, Artemis II marks the first time NASA has given each crew member an iPhone so they can take photos and videos. Apple said…

Summary created by Smart Answers AIIn summary:Tech Advisor reports that sophisticated Android malware has infected over 2.3 million devices by exploiting 22 vulnerabilities from 2016-2021 to gain root access.The malware survives factory resets on older unpatched devices and injects code into apps like WhatsApp while gathering device data for targeted attacks.Users should immediately install Android security updates from May 2021 or newer, only download apps from Google Play Store, and consider replacing outdated devices for protection. Security experts at McAfee have discovered a new piece of Android malware called NoVoice on Google Play. The malware was hidden within over 50…
For the last year, one word has represented the conversation living at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity: speed. Speed matters, but it’s not the most important shift we are observing across the threat landscape today. Now, threat actors from nation states to cybercrime groups are embedding AI into how they plan, refine, and sustain cyberattacks. The objectives haven’t changed, but the tempo, iteration, and scale of generative AI enabled attacks are certainly upgrading them. However, like defenders, there is typically a human-in-the-loop still powering these attacks, and not fully autonomous or agentic AI running campaigns. AI is reducing friction…
