ZeroTier announced a partnership with Redapt to embed its ZeroTier Quantum platform into Redapt’s infrastructure, cloud and managed‑service portfolio. The solution uses post‑quantum cryptographic standards ML‑KEM‑1024 (FIPS 203) and ML‑DSA‑87 (FIPS 204) to protect connectivity across data‑center, cloud and edge environments. Redapt will assess, design, deploy and manage the platform for enterprise clients while also providing cybersecurity advisory and virtual CISO services to ZeroTier. Both firms target sectors such as government, defense, finance and regulated gaming, offering a turnkey [...]

Keanu Reeves has signed on to reprise his role as John Wick in an upcoming animated prequel that explores the “Impossible Task” that freed the assassin from the High Table. The film, directed by Shannon Tindle and scripted by Ryan and Kaz Firpo, will depict Wick’s night‑long mission to eliminate his rivals, setting the stage for the events that lead to his retirement, the death of his wife Helen, and the gift of a puppy that launches [...]

Security researchers disclosed a two‑stage attack against Barracuda’s Email Security Gateway appliance that grants unauthenticated attackers root privileges without logging in. The chain combines CVE‑2026‑116606, an authorization bypass that lets a remote user restore a crafted configuration backup and alter global settings, with CVE‑2026‑111560, a command‑injection flaw that normally requires an admin account but is enabled by the bypass. Together they allow arbitrary root‑level commands on the gateway. Barracuda issued firmware patches on Monday, fixing the gateway [...]

Charlene B. Flick argues that the quantum computing sector must adopt a “commercial diplomacy” strategy to move from laboratory breakthroughs to a viable market. She likens the role of quantum startups to diplomats who educate, listen, and align disparate interests, creating an ecosystem that can sustain demand. Historical analogues—Ford’s Model T, Edison’s light‑bulb demonstrations, and IBM’s System/360—illustrate how innovators paired technology with infrastructure, standards, and public confidence to achieve mass adoption. Flick notes that quantum’s current challenges include [...]

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and private‑equity firm Silver Lake, fresh from the $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts, are reportedly in early talks to buy Unity Software. Unity, the creator of a widely used cross‑platform game engine that powers titles such as Genshin Impact and Among Us, is being approached about a potential $25 billion valuation. Silver Lake already holds roughly 8 % of Unity’s shares and is working with the PIF to explore the deal. Unity has [...]

Nintendo has enjoyed a standout 2026, driven by high‑profile remakes and new releases on its Switch 2 hardware. The revamped Star Fox, a polished N64 classic, sold 1.17 million copies, ranking ninth among Switch 2 titles, while the freshly rebuilt The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has generated viral buzz and strong early sales. In a Polygon interview at the Ocarina launch event, senior vice president Nate Bihldorff said new games and remakes are “of equal importance” to Nintendo’s strategy, noting [...]

Researchers at QiAnXin’s XLab discovered a backdoor embedded in the Control Web Panel (CWP) web server, a Linux hosting management tool. The malicious code, dubbed “cwpdoor,” replaces the legitimate cwpsrv binary for versions 1.15.10 and 1.24.0 and executes attacker‑supplied commands delivered via web requests that bypass access logs. Installation requires root privileges, indicating the attackers have already compromised the host. The backdoor masquerades as an update, restores file timestamps, and evades detection, showing zero hits on VirusTotal’s [...]

QNu Labs has launched a 12‑hour corporate training programme through its QNu Academy, aimed at enterprise cybersecurity leaders. Backed by India’s National Quantum Mission, the three‑day course covers quantum key distribution, quantum random number generators, post‑quantum cryptography, cryptographic inventory management and emerging quantum threats. It targets CISOs, security strategists, risk and compliance officers, IT architects and senior security managers, offering assessment‑based certification and optional on‑site workshops for 15‑50 participants or half‑day executive briefings. Instructors include QNu engineers [...]
