El Capitan Becomes World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer at 1.742 ExaFLOPS

The worlds most potent supercomputer, El Capitan, was inaugurated at Californias Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It costs $600 million to buil

The worlds most potent supercomputer, El Capitan, was inaugurated at Californias Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It costs $600 million to build and helps with nuclear data analysis, highenergy physics, and material discoveries while securing the U.S. nuclear stockpile. With an HPL benchmark peak of 2.746 exaFLOPS and an average of 1.742 exaFLOPS, it outperforms Frontier, the previous leader. Equipped with AMD EPYC Genoa CPUs and CDNA3 GPUs, 44,544 AMD MI300A units maximise computing efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energys CORAL2 program saw the start of construction in 2023 and the full deployment in January 2025. El Capitan is anticipated to transform highperformance computing and national security research. Read More..

Apple Releases iOS 18.3.1 to Patch Critical iPhone Security Flaw

Apple fixed a serious security hole that let hackers access a locked iPhone with the release of iOS 18.3.1. Accessibility service vulnerabilities have

Apple fixed a serious security hole that let hackers access a locked iPhone with the release of iOS 18.3.1. Accessibility service vulnerabilities have the potential to disable USB Restricted Mode, which stops unwanted USB connections. Apple acknowledged that the vulnerability might have been used in deliberate assaults. The update is compatible with iPhone devices up to the iPhone XS and the iPhone 16 series. The vulnerability was discovered by Citizen Lab researcher Bill Marczak, who advised users to upgrade right away. Installing iOS 18.3.1 requires users to go to Settings > General > Software Update. In 2018, Apple implemented USB Restricted Mode to improve security, and this patch strengthens defences against physical threats to user devices. Read More..

U.S., UK, Australia Sanction Russian Hosting Firm for Lockbit Ransomware Links

Citing national security concerns, the U.S. joined Australia and the United Kingdom in punishing Zservers, a Russian company, for aiding Lockbit ranso

Citing national security concerns, the U.S. joined Australia and the United Kingdom in punishing Zservers, a Russian company, for aiding Lockbit ransomware assaults. Zservers, a reliable hosting company, also named two Russian nationals as key administrators, according to the U.S. Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control. "Ransomware actors use these thirdparty network services to target critical infrastructure," said Acting Under Secretary Bradley Smith. This action comes after the U.S., UK, and Australia jointly imposed cyber sanctions on the Evil Corp ransomware gang last year. By dismantling cybercriminal networks that enable ransomware assaults on international infrastructure, the sanctions support global efforts to counter Russian cyber threats. Read More..

India to Warn Against Chinese AI Tool DeepSeek Over Privacy, Security Concerns

Given serious worries about data privacy and possible cyber espionage, the Indian government is getting ready to issue an advice warning against using

Given serious worries about data privacy and possible cyber espionage, the Indian government is getting ready to issue an advice warning against using the Chinese AI tool DeepSeek. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team CERTIn conducted a comprehensive examination and found that DeepSeek gathers user data, including device information, prompts, and keyboard patterns. This data collecting raises concerns for national security and may result in the tracking of user behaviour without authorisation. The use of DeepSeek on official devices has already been prohibited in several nations, including Australia and Italy. Citing confidentiality concerns, Indias finance ministry recently cautioned its staff against utilising AI applications such as DeepSeek and ChatGPT on governmentowned computers. Read More..

At the AI Action Summit in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron urged companies to select Europe and reaffirmed Frances commitment to the race for artificial intelligence. He underlined Frances superiority in clean electric power and its capacity to provide AIs enormous energy needs sustainably. "Here, there is no need to drill," Macron said, comparing Frances strategy to other countries and citing a U.S. position on fossil fuels. Plug, plug, plug, baby. His comments promoted energyefficient alternatives while highlighting Europes drive for AI innovation. Macron hopes to draw in foreign investment and position Europe as a significant force in the quickly developing AI sector by establishing France as a leader in AI with sustainable infrastructure.

MeiTy Issues Urgent Security Alert for Android Users Amid Critical Vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities in Android 12 and later versions have been the subject of a highpriority notice from the Ministry of Electronics and Informat

Multiple vulnerabilities in Android 12 and later versions have been the subject of a highpriority notice from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology MeiTy. MeiTy and CERTIn discovered vulnerabilities in the Android framework and chipset components that might give hackers access to private information, elevate privileges, run arbitrary code, or launch denialofservice DoS attacks. Immediately updating devices, turning on automatic updates, avoiding untrusted apps, creating secure passwords with twofactor authentication, and controlling app permissions are all highly recommended. Risks can be reduced by keeping an eye out for phishing efforts and routinely checking security settings. The warning emphasises how crucial proactive cybersecurity measures are to safeguarding device integrity and personal data. Read More..

Malicious AI Models Found on Hugging Face, Exposing OpenSource Risks

ReversingLabs, a cybersecurity firm, noticed that Hugging Face, a wellknown centre for AI and ML, was hosting fraudulent models that contained malware

ReversingLabs, a cybersecurity firm, noticed that Hugging Face, a wellknown centre for AI and ML, was hosting fraudulent models that contained malware. The Python module Pickle file serialisation, which permits code execution during deserialisation and poses a security risk in opensource systems, was abused by the attackers. Hugging Faces Picklescan detection tool was evaded by two compromised PyTorch models compressed in the 7z format. This method—dubbed "nullifAI"—made it possible for malware to infect unwary engineers. Hugging Face quickly removed the models within 24 hours of receiving the notification on 20 January and strengthened its security protocols. The occurrence draws attention to the dangers of opensource AI systems and the necessity of more robust security measures to thwart future attacks of this nature. Read More..

OpenAI to Develop InHouse AI Chips, Aims for 2026 Mass Production

To lessen its dependency on Nvidia, OpenAI is developing its AI chips and plans to massproduce them by 2026 with Taiwans TSMC. The project, spearheade

To lessen its dependency on Nvidia, OpenAI is developing its AI chips and plans to massproduce them by 2026 with Taiwans TSMC. The project, spearheaded by Richard Ho and partnering with Broadcom, is centred on a trainingcentric semiconductor with sophisticated networking and highbandwidth memory. The chip might improve OpenAIs AI infrastructure and increase its negotiating leverage with chip vendors, even though it will only be initially used on a small scale. Tech titans like Microsoft and Meta are also developing bespoke silicon in response to the escalating expense of AI systems. The success of OpenAI depends on scalability and effective implementation because Nvidia has an 80% market share. Although its unclear if it can compete with Nvidias dominance, this initiative, if successful, might change the dynamics of AI hardware. Read More..
