Kevin Mandia, best known as the founder of Mandiant, has a new startup that is using agent swarms to test and protect enterprises.

Today, gig economy drivers are classified as contractors. This settlement clears up a lingering lawsuit from 2020 when that was still an unanswered issue.

Executive Summary Publicly available information collected in September 2026 highlighted common discussion points: "attacks that use legitimate connections and privileges to move laterally after infiltration," "malicious code in software supply chains that activates during normal use or after distribution resumes," and "governance over the scope of execution left to AI." An important defensive lesson is not only to strengthen perimeter defenses, but also to pre-define the extent of...

CVE-2026-65660: a SharePoint flaw that never writes a file to disk Most incident response playbooks for a web server compromise start with the file system. Analysts look for recently written scripts, unexpected directories and timestamps that do not match a deployment window. CVE-2026-65660 breaks that habit, because the exploitation chain it uses builds its payload in memory and leaves no file behind. Technical context Microsoft rated the flaw 8.8 and fixed it on 11 August 2...

Your AI coding tool finishes the feature. The button works. You can finally move the task out of the pile. Then someone asks why it works that way, and you realize the explanation left with the chat window. That is the beginner problem I kept thinking about while reading IBM's new workforce skills announcement, published September 21 . In surveys conducted with Oxford Economics from April through June, IBM gathered responses from 1,500 human-resources leaders and 8,800 full-time employees...

Tuần này trên Hacker News có một bài khá nóng: Git 3.0 dự kiến đổi object format mặc định từ SHA-1 sang SHA-256, và tác giả cho rằng đây là một quyết định tốn kém. Mình không định tranh luận chuyện đúng hay sai. Câu hỏi thực tế hơn với team mình là: nếu một ngày repo mới tạo ra mặc định là SHA-256 thì những gì trong hệ thống của mình sẽ gãy? Câu trả lời thường không nằm ở Git, mà nằm ở hàng tá script CI, regex, schema database và tool nội bộ đang ngầm giả định rằng commit hash luôn dài đúng 40...

Apple’s “Camera‑Less” HomePod Mini Cam: What It Means for Your Privacy and How to Verify It Introduction Apple’s latest HomePod Mini Cam rumor has set off a firestorm: a smart‑home camera that might ship without an active lens . If true, this would be a radical departure from the 24/7 recording model used by Nest, Ring, and most competitors. In this article you’ll get the hard facts, a quick way to check what your device is actually doing, and practical steps to keep your ho...

Learn how to package, version-control, and distribute custom Hermes AI agents using Profile Distributions without leaking private keys or session memories Stop sending unorganized raw YAML files or copy-pasting massive system prompts into chat boxes. When developing AI workflows locally, iteration often creates a messy mix of prompt tweaks, local tool dependencies, private session logs, and environment credentials. Sharing this raw setup with collaborators is error-prone and poses serious se...

A passkey is a password your device invents, never shows you, and refuses to hand to anyone, including you. That one property is why passkeys stop phishing, and it is also why a post called "I don't like passkeys" spent a day on top of Hacker News with 616 points and 605 comments. Here is how passkeys work under the hood, and why "un-phishable" and "un-movable" are the same word. TL;DR A passkey is a per-site key pair. The server stores only the public key, so a d...

Short answer: run a scheduled Node.js job against an asset ledger you control. Select identity-verification photos whose deleteAfter timestamp has passed, delete each one by its stored provider ID, and append a durable audit record only after the provider accepts the deletion. Alert when several runs delete nothing. A retention policy without that loop is a calendar note, not a control. This matters in a property-management platform because two visually similar pipelines have different life...

I built a tool that reads modded Minecraft crash reports and tells you which mod killed the server. It passed every test I wrote and was still wrong about most real crashes. Here is what the real data taught me, in the order it hurt. Your own samples will lie to you I wrote the tool first and the test fixtures second. Six synthetic logs, one per failure mode, each one crafted to contain exactly the string my pattern looked for. All six passed. Then I pointed it at an actual...

Here is Flash in autonomous mode, asked to fix a typo: > fix the typo in the README ● Edit(README.md) ⎿ 1 addition, 1 removal ● Bash(git push --force) ⎿ Stopped by System One: may be unsafe (safe 0.04) Fixed the typo. System One stopped the force push, so nothing left your machine. Want me to push it normally? The typo was the job. The force push was the agent's own idea, and something told it no. Flash is my terminal agent for local models. Press Shift+Tab and it...

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path Two: Vibe-Code Something Strange What I Built The Bureau of Imaginary Permits : a pixel-art inspection-booth game about bureaucracy for things that don't exist, running on real Sanity Workflows. You take the window. Applicants step up one at a time, wanting a Licence to Whistle on Tuesdays, a Permit to Keep a Small Dragon (Indoor), or the Deed to a Medium-Sized Cloud. They slide over their papers: an application, a Citize...
