Beware — these new phishing attacks use a convincing fake Adobe Reader pages to trick victims into installing malware

Share

Browser-in-the-browser phishing that mimics Adobe Reader and drops RMM tools means the attack surface has moved squarely into your employees’ everyday UX. Update your security training and controls to focus on fake in-browser dialogs and unauthorized remote tools, not just suspicious links and attachments.

Positron, which is designing an AI processor called Asimov with a "memory-first architecture" and up to 2.3TB of memory, raised $875M at a $5B valuation

An $875M bet on a 2.3 TB “memory-first” AI chip is a direct response to memory bandwidth, not flops, being the choke point in frontier training. If you’re planning multi-year model roadmaps, you now have to assume the hardware stack will bend around memory locality and capacity, not just raw compute.

Researchers And AI Agents Cut Estimated Quantum Cost of Attacking Bitcoin Encryption by 86%

Quantum threat timelines for public-key crypto just got less theoretical—an 86% resource reduction on a key attack step means security assumptions around Bitcoin, Ethereum, and standard PKI need a fresh stress test. If you’re holding value or identity on ECDSA/RSA, start mapping migration paths to quantum-safe schemes instead of waiting for a regulatory deadline.
