Lagos. It’s hot outside, the city is buzzing and you have somewhere to be. So, you hail a cab, and this is where it starts. You get to your destination, you pay with your phone. The cab driver confirms your payment with his phone. The driver then transfers money to his mother who lives in Abia with his phone. Across the continent, nearly 4,000 km away in Nairobi, a mother gets home from work and realizes they’re almost out of the bioethanol they need to cook dinner. So she heads to a KOKOpoint (an ATM for cooking fuel) to top…
In the dynamic landscape of modern enterprise IT, the approach to cloud has undergone a significant evolution that has seen countless trends come and go. But the current confluence of factors—the relentless pace of AI development, escalating geopolitical concerns, and the ever-present demand for data control—has led to a much more sophisticated understanding beyond elasticity, agility, and scale. Private cloud has evolved into a critical foundation for strategic innovation and resilience. This development is a direct response to fundamental shifts in our operating environment. For both cloud customers and Cloud Service Providers, understanding how VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) can underpin…
Imagine building AI applications that deliver accurate, current information without the complexity of developing intricate data retrieval systems. Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Web Grounding, a new built-in tool for Nova models on Amazon Bedrock. Web Grounding provides developers with a turnkey Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) option that allows the Amazon Nova foundation models to intelligently decide when to retrieve and incorporate relevant up-to-date information based on the context of the prompt. This helps to ground the model output by incorporating cited public sources as context, aiming to reduce hallucinations and improve accuracy. When should developers…

Long known to be a sweet spot for cybercriminals, small businesses are more likely to be victimized by ransomware than large enterprises 18 Sep 2025 • , 5 min. read Think your business is too small to be singled out for digital extortion? Think again. Indeed, if you’re an SMB owner, you’d better assume you’re a potential target. Verizon data reveals that, while ransomware comprises 39% of data breaches at large organizations, the figure rises to 88% for SMBs. Large enterprises may be more prepared to pay multimillion-dollar ransoms, but they’re often also more likely to have the tools and…
Image: Adobe Stock Cyberattacks are on the rise in the UK, according to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the UK’s technical authority for cybersecurity. In its Annual Review, published on Tuesday, the security agency states that the UK has experienced a 50% increase in “highly significant” cyberattacks over the past year. Officials attributed the surge to the UK’s increasing dependence on digital systems and a sharp increase in ransomware activity targeting organisations for financial gain. Figures from the NCSC annual review revealed dramatic insights into the state of the UK’s cybersecurity, including that it is experiencing the highest level of malicious…
Cybercriminals are turning to TikTok to spread new scams that promise “free upgrades” or access to premium versions of popular apps. According to Bleeping Computer, scammers are posting videos that look like tech tutorials, offering so-called activation hacks for software like Windows, Adobe Premiere, or Photoshop, and even fake “premium” services for Netflix and Spotify. But instead of unlocking anything, these videos trick people into running hidden malware on their devices. Once that happens, attackers can steal passwords, cryptocurrency wallet details, or access to social media and bank accounts. These “ClickFix” scams, as researchers call them, are spreading quickly because…
AI is transforming every industry—redefining how we innovate, compete, and create value. This shift demands a new class of data center infrastructure: one that’s high-performance, secure, and built to adapt to constantly changing workloads. The network is at the heart of this transformation—it must evolve to match AI’s pace, enabling organizations to unlock new efficiencies, insights, and opportunities. The reality of AI networks As organizations scale their AI environments, they’re discovering that traditional networks simply weren’t built for the job. Managing east-west GPU-to-GPU traffic for AI training—while also supporting frontend, storage, and management traffic—requires a fundamentally new approach. Customers are…
Many organizations are increasingly deploying large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT series, Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s LLaMA, and various models from DeepSeek, with minimal customization. This widespread reuse leads to model homogeneity across applications – from chatbots to productivity tools – and creates a security vulnerability: jailbreak prompts that bypass refusal mechanisms can be precomputed once and reused across many deployments. This mirrors the classic rainbow table attack in password security, where attackers exploit shared cryptographic targets to reuse precomputed inputs. These generalized jailbreaks are a problem because many companies have customer-facing LLMs built on top of model classes…
In episode 74 of The AI Fix, we meet Amazon’s AI-powered delivery glasses, an AI TV presenter who doesn’t exist, and an Ohio lawmaker who wants to stop people from marrying their chatbot. Also, we learn how Geoffrey Hinton and Steve Wozniak have teamed up with the unlikely coupling of will.i.am and Steve Bannon to pull the brakes on “super-intelligence.” Meanwhile, Graham wonders if you should really trust an AI browser with your passwords, or your credit card, or, frankly, anything at all, and Mark reveals what AGI really means – and how close we are to reaching it.It’s an…
