German startup enclaive has raised €4.1 million in seed funding for its multi-cloud confidential computing platform. The solution aims to protect data during processing, enabling companies to use cloud environments without compromising security, especially in sensitive sectors such as finance, healthcare, and AI.
Data centers are evolving to support the increasing workloads of artificial intelligence. New rack-level power architectures are emerging to better manage the energy demands of high-performance GPUs, optimizing efficiency and reducing operating costs.
SpaceX has officially acquired xAI, both companies owned by Elon Musk. The deal aims to develop space-based data centers. The merger creates the world's most valuable private company, paving the way for Musk to prove the usefulness of data infrastructure in space.
Firefox will introduce new settings in version 148 to control the generative AI features integrated into the browser. Users will be able to completely block these features, offering greater control over their browsing experience.
Oracle announced the general availability of Oracle AI Database 26ai Enterprise Edition for Linux x86‑64. However, the long-term support for version 19c and concerns about potential lock-in to proprietary AI solutions may prompt users to carefully evaluate the upgrade.
Swedish startup Berget AI has raised €2.1 million to develop a full-stack AI platform ensuring data sovereignty. The company targets developers who want to build AI applications using open-source language models on Swedish infrastructure, aligning with the growing demand for local data control and regulatory compliance in Europe.
As China, Europe, and the United States define AI regulations, a crucial debate emerges: should the focus be on the models or their use? The article proposes regulating AI use based on risk, with proportionate obligations, rather than limiting model development, to avoid stifling innovation and ensure safety.
Researchers have disclosed a rapid exploit chain that let attackers run code via a single malicious web page. Multiple projects are patching bot takeover and remote code execution (RCE) exploits within the OpenClaw ecosystem, formerly known as ClawdBot and Moltbot.
Early, experimental code for implementing 1GB PUD-level THPs in the Linux kernel are showing positive benchmark results. The patches aim to reduce translaction lookaside buffer (TLB) pressure. Mainlining the patches may take a while.
Menotracker, an AI-powered menopause tracking app, stands out for its focus on privacy. In partnership with ConsentKeys, the app ensures that users' personal data is never stored, addressing concerns about the sale and misuse of sensitive health information. The goal is to provide women with a tool to better understand their health without compromising confidentiality.
The stable release of the Linux 6.19 kernel has been delayed by a week due to the year-end holiday period. Version 6.19-rc8 is now available, with the stable version expected next week. This delay is not due to critical bugs, but rather the need to manage downtime during the holidays.
A former Google engineer has been convicted in San Francisco for stealing confidential AI infrastructure data to benefit Chinese interests. He had been trying to raise funding for his own start-up.
SpaceX has filed with the FCC a plan to build an orbital data center system based on a constellation of one million satellites. The infrastructure, designed for artificial intelligence workloads, is expected to deliver up to 100 gigawatts of compute capacity.
The Ukrainian government has blocked unauthorized Starlink terminals, preventing Russian drones from using the internet service for attacks. SpaceX is working on permanent solutions to prevent unauthorized use of its network.
Security researchers are warning that the growing ecosystem around ‘OpenClaw,’ the self-hosted AI assistant formerly known as Clawdbot, has already become a target for malware distribution. Fourteen malicious skills were uploaded to ClawHub last month.
A vulnerability in the Moltbook database allowed anyone to take control of the AI agents on the platform. The incident raises serious concerns about security and access management in systems that orchestrate the execution of large language models.
Linux 7.0 is preparing to introduce significant improvements in per-CPU cache management, thanks to the integration of 'sheaves'. This technology, already present in optional form since version 6.18, aims to progressively replace traditional CPU slabs/caches, promising an increase in overall system performance.
A security vulnerability in Moltbook, a social media platform for AI agents, exposed APIs, allowing anyone to take control of the agents and post content on their behalf. The vulnerability, discovered by a researcher, stemmed from a misconfiguration of the Supabase database used by the platform. The unauthorized access has been closed, but raises questions about the security of AI platforms.
The Aisuru-Kimwolf botnet has set a new record with a DDoS attack reaching 31.4 Tb/s. This volume of malicious traffic is comparable to streaming over two million Netflix 4K movies simultaneously, potentially crippling entire countries.
An informant claims Jeffrey Epstein had a personal hacker. In cybersecurity news, an AI agent named OpenClaw is causing concern among experts. China has executed 11 people involved in scam compounds. A $40 million crypto theft has an unexpected alleged culprit.
