My job means I spend a lot of time writing, and as a result, I spend a lot of time — more than is productive, probably — looking for the best possible writing apps. Over time, what I look for in apps has changed. An abundance of features has become less of a necessity; instead, I want something straightforward that lets me get the job done with minimal distractions. I found the answer in a piece of software nearly 20 years old called Bean. This is a lightweight word processor for macOS that first launched in 2007. It hasn’t seen…

Aisy has emerged from stealth with $2.3 million seed funding from Osney Capital, Flying Fish Ventures, and 6 Degrees Capital together with additional angel investors. The firm provides an AI-assisted platform designed to help security teams manage, prioritize, and reduce an overwhelming volume of vulnerability alert tickets. “Smart people are burning out sifting through backlogs of unprioritized, low-value vulnerabilities, while the real critical pathways go unprotected,” says Shlomie Liberow, founder and CEO of Aisy (and formerly head of hacker research and development at HackerOne). He doesn’t see this changing for mid-tier and larger companies – partly because of the security…

I woke up in high spirits this morning. I planned on reserving a phone I’ve been excited about since I heard it was officially coming to the US. The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold isn’t practical, and it’s not a device for everyone — but I still can’t wait to get my hands on one. Unfortunately, like many others this morning, I’m going to have to wait a little longer. Unexpectedly, Samsung sold out of Galaxy Z TriFolds within minutes. Every Samsung Experience Store I called in the area was out, reporting lines before the stores opened. No one at either…

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new campaign attributed to a China-linked threat actor known as UAT-8099 that took place between late 2025 and early 2026. The activity, discovered by Cisco Talos, has targeted vulnerable Internet Information Services (IIS) servers located across Asia, but with a specific focus on targets in Thailand and Vietnam. The scale of the campaign is currently unknown. “UAT-8099 uses web shells and PowerShell to execute scripts and deploy the GotoHTTP tool, granting the threat actor remote access to vulnerable IIS servers,” security researcher Joey Chen said in a Thursday breakdown of the campaign. UAT-8099 was first…

Verifiable integrity Computing is full of security problems, and Linux is no exception to this rule, given convincing the protective free and open source software community of the wisdom of a radical new idea often turns out to be as big a challenge as the engineering itself. While Linux distros on desktop computers remain a niche, the technology’s invisible domination of online platforms and cloud container orchestration tools makes it the most important operating system in the world. That, not surprisingly, has made it a target for attacks, with cybercriminals taking advantage of vulnerabilities allowing privilege escalation, container escapes, and…
