Ravie LakshmananMar 09, 2026DevOps / Threat Intelligence The North Korean threat actor known as UNC4899 is suspected to be behind a sophisticated cloud compromise campaign targeting a cryptocurrency organization in 2025 to steal millions of dollars in cryptocurrency. The activity has been attributed with moderate confidence to the state-sponsored adversary, which is also tracked under the cryptonyms Jade Sleet, PUKCHONG, Slow Pisces, and TraderTraitor. “This incident is notable for its blend of social engineering, exploitation of personal-to-corporate device peer-to-peer data (P2P) transfer mechanisms, workflows, and eventual pivot to the cloud to employ living-off-the-cloud (LOTC) techniques,” the tech giant noted in…

OpenAI are acquiring Promptfoo, an AI security platform that helps enterprises identify and remediate vulnerabilities in AI systems during development. Once the acquisition is finalized, OpenAI will integrate Promptfoo’s technology directly into OpenAI Frontier, their platform for building and operating AI coworkers.

The Promptfoo team, led by Ian Webster and Michael D’Angelo, has built a powerful suite of tools trusted by…
OpenAI is updating its privacy policy with new details on ads, data usage and upcoming features across its products, including ChatGPT. The update was shared with ChatGPT users and outlines how advertising will work inside ChatGPT — and what data advertisers can and cannot access. Why we care. OpenAI’s update makes it clear that user privacy is a top priority: personal chats, histories, and details are never shared with advertisers. Ads can still be personalized using anonymized engagement signals, meaning brands can reach relevant audiences without compromising sensitive data. This approach lets advertisers measure performance safely while building trust with…
Anime has been popular around the world for decades, and is only getting more buzz in recent years. There’s an anime series for everyone out there, whether you’re brand new to the genre or an old hand who wants something strange and challenging. But there are still many people out there who just aren’t interested in watching animation, for whatever reason. In that case, I’d be tempted to recommend some live-action remakes of anime movies and shows…if they weren’t so reliably terrible. There are near-universally celebrated anime series like Cowboy Bebop and Attack on Titan that have gotten dreadful live-action…

At the same time, the use of weak credentials or misconfigurations has dropped significantly in the second half of 2025, Google notes in a report highlighting the trends on threats to cloud users. According to the report, incident responders determined that bug exploits were the primary access vector in 44.5% of the investigated intrusions, while credentials were responsible for 27% of the breaches.

The SAFE act, introduced by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Dick Durbin (D-IL), is the first of many likely proposals we will see to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Amendments Act of 2008—and while imperfect, it does propose a litany of real and much-needed reforms of Big Brother’s favorite surveillance authority. The irresponsible 2024 reauthorization of the secretive mass surveillance authority Section 702 not only gave the government two more years of unconstitutional surveillance powers, it also made the policy much worse. But, now people who value privacy and the rule of law get another…
