According to API security company Salt Labs, a significant hotel and vehicle rental company, a security vulnerability allowed hackers to gain control

According to API security company Salt Labs, a significant hotel and vehicle rental company, a security vulnerability allowed hackers to gain control of user accounts.

It was challenging to detect the attack because it used authentic customer domains. Millions were at risk, according to Salt Labs, which did not identify the provider. Following disclosure, the business verified the vulnerability and promptly implemented a patch to safeguard users. Read More..

Microsoft has expanded its collection of more than 1,800 models by integrating the R1 AI model from Chinese company DeepSeek into GitHub and its Azure cloud platform.

Microsoft and OpenAI are currently looking into possible illegal data use by DeepSeek. In response, Alibaba released an improved Qwen 2.5 AI model, and OpenAI hastened releases. Read More..
