Malicious npm package sneaks into GitHub Actions builds
Lessons in defense Barr pointed out that higher privileges in CI/CD pipelines make them an ideal target. Attackers who compromise a build runner can inject code at the source, sign releases with legitimate credentials, or push authentic-looking artifacts. Mitigations, Cipot recommended, would include short-lived, scoped tokens with regular secret rotations. Automated scanning for suspicious packages […]

Snowflake to acquire Datometry to bolster its automated migration tools
“SnowConvert AI excels at static code conversion, but it still requires code extraction and re‑insertion. Hyper‑Q complements this with on‑the‑fly translation to tackle dynamic constructs and application‑embedded SQL that converters often miss,” Dai said. Seconding Dai, Pareekh Jain, senior analyst at Jain Consulting, pointed out that this acquisition could help Snowflake differentiate itself from rivals […]

Runtime bugs break container walls, enabling root on Docker hosts
Console and Write-Gadget Lurkers: CVE-2025-52565 & CVE-2025-52881 The second vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-52565, targets “/dev/console” bind-mount handling. An attacker can replace the target path with a symlink, which will cause runc to bind-mount the wrong target, allowing the attacker to gain write access to procfs paths. “As with CVE-2025-31133, this happens after pivot_root(2) and so cannot […]

Microsoft lets shopping bots loose in a sandbox
Do you think it’s time to turn an AI agent loose to do your procurement for you? As that could be a potentially expensive experiment to conduct in the real world, Microsoft is attempting to determine whether agent-to-agent ecommerce will really work, without the risk of using it in a live environment. Earlier this week, […]

What is generative AI? How artificial intelligence creates content
Every generative AI system, no matter how advanced, is built around prediction. Remember, a model doesn’t truly know facts—it looks at a series of tokens, then calculates, based on analysis of its underlying training data, what token is most likely to come next. This is what makes the output fluent and human-like, but if its […]

AWS launches ‘Capabilities by Region’ to simplify planning for cloud deployments
AWS is finally making planning for cloud deployments less of a guessing game for enterprise teams. The cloud service provider has launched a new planning tool named Capabilities by Region, which provides visibility into the availability of services, tools, and features, including AWS CloudFormation resources, across its global regions. This visibility is critical to enterprises for planning […]

Google’s cheaper, faster TPUs are here, while users of other AI processors face a supply crunch
That doesn’t mean it will be all plain sailing for Google and its TPU customers, though: Myron Xie, a research analyst at SemiAnalysis, warned that Google might also face constraints in terms of chip manufacturing capacity at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which is facing bottlenecks around limited capacity for advanced chip packaging. Designed for […]

How multi-agent collaboration is redefining real-world problem solving
When I first started working with multi-agent collaboration (MAC) systems, they felt like something out of science fiction. It’s a group of autonomous digital entities that negotiate, share context, and solve problems together. Over the past year, MAC has begun to take practical shape, with applications in multiple real-world problems, including climate-adaptive agriculture, supply chain […]

Diversifying cloud resources is essential
These observations, along with the recent AWS outage, have prompted many organizations to rethink their strategies. The AWS failure was a wake-up call for many enterprises that have most or all workloads in a single public cloud environment. The resulting disruptions exposed the fragility of an overly centralized architecture and pushed business and IT leaders […]
