Picture a hospital during a busy shift. A physician opens a patient’s X-ray to plan what is next, but the image is slow to load and then stalls. The IT team wants to fix it right away, but they cannot easily tell whether the issue is the local Wi-Fi or the internet connection. When several providers each manage a different piece of the network, simply finding the source can take time. In medicine, that kind of lag is more than an inconvenience. It can delay a diagnosis and the care that follows. That scenario plays out because most distributed networks…

Ukraine’s computer emergency response team, CERT-UA, has warned that Russian hackers are using fake CAPTCHA checks to trick people into compromising their own PCs.The Kremlin-backed Sandworm hacking group is reportedly leveraging fake CAPTCHA checks on compromised websites that persuade users to execute a PowerShell command on their computers – tricking them into running malicious code.CERT-UA has attributed the attacks, which have surged this spring and summer against Ukrainian targets, to UAC-0145 – a branch of Sandworm, the hacking unit known for some of Russia’s most destructive cyber attacks in the past 10+ years, including ones against Ukraine’s power grid.The latest…

Posted by Wei Wang, Engineering Manager, Android BeTo User privacy and transparency are core to the Android experience. To better align with these principles, we are updating the default behavior of the Nearby Connections API regarding how it interacts with device radios. What is changing? Previously, the Nearby Connections API could automatically toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios ON to facilitate connections without explicit user intervention. Moving forward, the API will no longer automatically enable these radios for 1P and 3P applications. What this means for developers If your app relies on Nearby Connections, you will need to update your implementation…

The “Tourist” Trap We all have “that” repository in our organization. The one written in 2005, built with Ant, using Java 1.5. It hasn’t been compiled since the Obama administration, and it certainly doesn’t run on your new Apple Silicon MacBook. When I inherited this “Brownfield” project, the temptation is to treat Generative AI as a universal translator. I paste the code into an LLM and ask the most natural question in the world: “How do I run this?” This is what I call the “Tourist Prompt.” Like a tourist visiting ancient ruins, I am asking for a guided tour…

AI agents have shown remarkable potential to function as persistent digital assistants that are capable of monitoring data, managing communications, and taking action autonomously over long periods. OpenClaw was one of the first serious attempts to fulfill that vision, connecting frontier coding agents to messaging platforms like Slack and WhatsApp and letting them run continuously in the background. However, OpenClaw largely set aside questions of security to pursue that vision, leaving credentials exposed in the agent’s environment and giving agents broad access to data and services far beyond what any given task required. NanoClaw is an open source project that…

New research from Monash University scientists has revealed that microscopic life is actively breaking down decades-old mining waste in South Australia, turning stable radioactive and toxic metals into mobile nanoparticles that can easily travel through the environment. Location and environmental settings of the studied samples. Image Credit: Monash University The study, published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, investigated historic uranium and rare earth element mine waste in a cluster of historical, abandoned mine shafts located in the rugged Mount Painter area of the northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Left largely undisturbed for more than 80 years and now part…

ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corporation and a leading provider of enterprise IT management and security solutions, has announced post-deployment automation for transport layer security (TLS) certificates in Key Manager Plus, its certificate lifecycle and machine identity management solution. Key Manager Plus now automates the final stages of certificate renewal, pushing certificates to the target server, running configured scripts, restarting dependent services, and notifying stakeholders, so the whole certificate lifecycle runs without manual intervention. Historically, most organisations did not have much incentive to automate certificate management. Even the ones that did adopt automation workflows limited it to discovery, periodic expiration…

Save up to $2,500: We’ve found multiple Hisense TVs on sale at both Amazon and Best Buy for up to $2,500 off as part of Hisense’s summer sale. These deals offer an excellent opportunity to nab a new TV from as low as $430 for a limited time. Hisense TVs are among our favorites, and this sale includes both some of the latest models as well as previously-released TVs that still offer fantastic performance. These deals aren’t bound to stick around for long, so that’s something to remember. If you’re looking for a TV that’ll turn your living room into…

1 Q&A with Chris Upstone, Director of Private and Public Networks, BAI Communications Private 5G networks are rapidly moving from experiment to expectation across Australian industry. As deployments grow in scale and complexity, the questions businesses face are shifting from whether to invest to who can actually deliver. Chris Upstone, Director of Public and Private Networks at BAI Communications, discusses what that transition looks like from the front line.  What’s driving private network demand across Australia’s mining, rail and energy sectors, and what does that mean for how the market is maturing? Australia’s major industrial sectors have always operated at…

An engineer wires an agent to a payments API. The agent needs the API token, so the token goes where tokens usually go: an environment variable, a config file, or straight into the prompt. The agent reads it and makes the call. It works. It also just placed a live credential inside the one component in your stack that an attacker can talk to directly. Here is the part that trips people up. The model process is not a safe place to keep a secret. An agent reads untrusted input all day: tool results, retrieved documents, web pages, messages from…
