  • DeepSeek leaves an unauthed database on the internet
  • Russia hacked UK prime minister’s personal mail
  • Australia sanctions a Telegram group… which is more sensible than it sounds
  • Medical device backdoor turns out to be just poorly thought out upgrade feature
  • Google abuses weak hashing to patch AMD CPU microcode
  • And much, much more.
