Deep & Emerging TechSatlyt takes another step toward turning satellites into space data centers
Turning satellites into virtual data centers is the logical extension of edge computing—compute is chasing data all the way into orbit. If your product depends on time-sensitive or bandwidth-heavy space data, start planning for architectures where inference happens off-planet and you only move distilled signals.
Deep & Emerging TechThe $6.3 billion Binance hack has been linked to North Korean hackers
A $6.3 billion crypto hack tied to a state-linked group is a reminder that financial and data infrastructure are geopolitical targets, not just fraud surfaces. If you hold or move digital assets, treat key management, monitoring, and incident response as board-level risks, not IT hygiene.

A $6.3 billion exploit tied to a protocol upgrade is a reminder that composability cuts both ways — infra changes can amplify attacker leverage at protocol speed. If you’re exposed to on-chain rails, treat upstream upgrade risk and cross-protocol interactions as core security concerns, not edge cases.
