Should AI chatbots have ads? What Anthropic’s ‘no ads’ stance really means

Ads are coming to AI chatbots. That sentence would have sounded weird not long ago, because the whole point of a “chat” interface is that it feels like a private workspace: you ask a question, you get help, you move on. But in 2026, the economics of running frontier models (GPUs, data centers, inference costs, […]

When ‘skills’ become the supply chain: the OpenClaw marketplace malware wake‑up call

In the last couple of years, “AI agent” stopped being a marketing phrase and started being a real workflow: an assistant that can read your files, open your browser, run commands, and stitch together actions across services. That’s the promise. The problem is that power has a distribution channel. And that channel is increasingly called

Ikea’s bargain Matter-over-Thread devices are stumbling at the hardest step: getting connected

Matter was supposed to be the smart home’s “USB-C moment”: buy a device, scan a code, and it just works in whatever ecosystem you use. Ikea’s newest wave of inexpensive buttons, bulbs, plugs, and sensors was meant to be the proof point — the day mass‑market pricing met the long-promised interoperability standard. Instead, early adopters

GitHub’s Agent HQ adds Claude and Codex — how multi-agent coding fits into real teams

GitHub is taking a clear step from “AI that helps you type” toward “AI that can take work off your plate.” In a public preview announced on February 4, 2026, GitHub says developers can now run third‑party coding agents from Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (Codex) directly inside Agent HQ, alongside GitHub Copilot.

Microsoft taps Hayete Gallot as security chief: what it signals for the Secure Future Initiative

Microsoft is changing who leads its security organization — again — and this time the move is tightly tied to a broader story the company has been telling for the last two years: security has to become a first-class engineering priority, not a compliance checkbox or a post-incident cleanup. According to an internal memo from

Non-human identities are a breach engine: why tokens and service accounts keep getting exposed

Non-human identities—API keys, tokens, service accounts, workload identities—are now one of the easiest ways into modern cloud environments. Not because attackers suddenly became geniuses, but because organizations increasingly run on machine-to-machine trust, and that trust is often overbroad, long-lived, and poorly monitored. A new analysis highlighted in reporting points to a familiar pattern at huge

Amaranth-Dragon exploiting a WinRAR flaw shows how fast espionage actors weaponize public bugs

A “new” espionage actor name doesn’t matter on its own. What matters is the operating pattern: how quickly a group can weaponize a newly disclosed bug, what that says about the defender’s patch window, and what kinds of organizations are being singled out. Reporting and published research describe a threat actor dubbed Amaranth-Dragon, assessed as

PSNI’s £7,500 breach payout offer shows how disclosure mistakes become safety incidents

A one-size-fits-all compensation offer after a data breach can look like a clean resolution: pay everyone the same, close the book, move on. But when the victims are police staff—and the leaked data can translate into real-world targeting—“moving on” isn’t just emotional. It can involve relocation, disrupted careers, and long-term safety planning. The latest reporting

Western Digital expands buybacks as AI lifts storage demand: what it means

Western Digital’s reported decision to add $4 billion to its share repurchase authorization is the kind of corporate action that looks simple from the outside: the company will buy its own stock. But in the storage and memory business—where demand swings can be violent, capital spending is enormous, and “AI” can change product mixes faster
