1+ min ago (473+ words) Meet the DVX Night Storm X3: The ultra-stealth 4K night-vision unit built for extreme darkness DVX has unveiled the Night Storm X3, a next-generation night-vision binocular system built to push far beyond the limits of conventional low-light imaging. Designed around a dual-sensor architecture and a 20 TOPS AI Fusion Engine, the X3 captures true 4K color footage from as little as 0.0001 lux, preserving natural tones and ambient detail even in near-total darkness. Its two specialised CMOS sensors work in tandem: the Luma-X sensor lifts structure, edges and micro-detail, while the Chroma-X sensor restores full colour, with the AI engine aligning and merging both streams at the sub-pixel level. For users who need even more resolution, optional AI upscaling claims to expand output to 6K without sacrificing clarity or accuracy. "The result is a system that preserves color in conditions where standard cameras fail and maintains clarity at…...

In it, he said the 2023 shift to the sans serif Calibri font emerged from misguided diversity, equity and inclusion policies pursued by his predecessor, Antony Blinken. Rubio ordered an immediate return to Times New Roman, which had been among the standard fonts mandated by previous administrations. The switch was promised to mitigate accessibility issues for individuals with disabilities," the cable said, asserting that it did not achieve that goal and had cost the department $145,000 but did not offer any evidence. Since taking over the State Department in January, Rubio has systematically dismantled DEI programs in line with President Donald Trump's broader instructions to all federal agencies. The Trump administration says the goal is…...

17+ min ago (562+ words) AI, when properly applied, can help defenders surface early warning signals, while expanded awareness training for executives, colleagues, and families is essential to reducing exposure. For decades, cyber adversaries targeted corporate assets: intellectual property, systems stability and the bottom line. But the attack surface has evolved. Executives themselves are now prime targets and are singled out to destabilize companies and sway public opinion. What begins in the digital world can quickly migrate offline, resulting in real-world threats, hate and violence. I'd like to shed light on some core lessons I carry with me, including how digital personas are giving attackers ammunition, AI empowers both attacks and defenders, and fragmented security programming is creating protection blind spots. The threat environment for executives is no longer linear; it's complex, layered and unforgiving. Sophisticated tools make credential theft, account takeovers and data breaches…...

25+ min ago (506+ words) Cybersecurity teams are navigating a shift as skills shortages overtake headcount as the primary concern, according to ISC2s 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Study. The research, based on responses from some 16,029 cybersecurity professionals globally, reveals that while budget cuts and layoffs have leveled off after last years surge, the pressure on security teams has intensified. Economic conditions affecting cybersecurity budgets showed signs of stabilizing in 2025, according to ISC2, with reports of budget cuts dropping to 36% (down one percentage point from 2024) and layoffs declining to 24% (also down one point). Still, underlying workforce challenges remain. "A shift is happening. This years data makes it clear that the most pressing concern for cybersecurity teams isnt headcount but skills," said Debra Taylor, ISC2 Acting CEO and CFO, in a statement. "Skills deficits raise cybersecurity risk levels and challenge business resilience." Organizations have experienced oversights in cybersecurity processes and procedures (26%), been…...

A new technical paper titled "ReFuzz: Reusing Tests for Processor Fuzzing with Contextual Bandits" was published by researchers at Texas A&M University and TU Darmstadt. To address this gap, we present ReFuzz, an adaptive fuzzing framework that leverages contextual bandit to reuse highly effective tests from prior processors to fuzz a processor-under-test (PUT) within a given ISA. By intelligently mutating…...
