French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu will hold a crisis meeting Monday to respond to the cyberattack disclosed last week targeting the countryβs tax collection agency. A judicial investigation of the hack is under way. People whose data were compromised in the attack on the General Directorate of Public Finance will be notified beginning Monday.
Hackers stole French taxpayer data in a cyberattack that reportedly exposed around 678,000 people, including hundreds reporting income above β¬1 million (roughly $1.16 million). The attacker, ZeroBytes, claims to have accessed an internal search tool to extract the records before being discovered and cut off.

Apple has trained a large language model specifically for the China market. The AI model was developed in partnership with Alibaba Group and trained with the Chinese tech giant's support. A China-tailored model of its own would give Apple greater control over the AI experience in its most competitive overseas market.
It would also make Apple the first foreign company approved by Beijing to offer βa proprietary AI model in China, marking a rare collaboration by U.S. and Chinese tech firms amid a widening trade and diplomatic rift between the βtwo countries over AI.
It was not immediately clear what βrole Apple's self-trained model would play alongside third-party Chinese models and how those are working together.

Suvi Health launched an ambient AI care-coordination platform that captures bedside conversations in hospitals and turns them into a shared plan and task list for patients, families, and care teams. A four-month Mayo Clinic pilot will begin in September 2026.
Suvi's patient app detects when a care-team member enters the room, starts recording, and stops after that person leaves. The platform is designed to capture conversations across the care team, including physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, and pharmacists, rather than limiting capture to physician-patient exchanges.

Connected devices routinely send information back to the router to help optimize wireless communication. These signals, known as beamforming feedback information (BFI), are transmitted without encryption, meaning that anyone within range can potentially read them.
By analyzing that information, the system can generate images of people from multiple viewpoints. Those images can then be used to determine a person's identity. Once the machine learning model has already been trained to recognize individuals, the identification process takes only a few seconds.
"The technology is powerful, but at the same time entails risks to our fundamental rights, especially to privacy," β says Professor Thorsten Strufe from KASTEL, KIT's Institute of Information Security and Dependability.

The U.S. Space Force awarded $60 million to five companies to demonstrate how satellites from multiple vendors can connect to its Space Data Network, a military communications architecture whose core backbone is being supplied by SpaceX.
Amazon LEO for Government, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Rocket Lab and York Space Systems each received $12 million in contracts and prototype agreements. The work will test connections between commercial satellite systems and the Space Data Network, or SDN, including on-orbit data transport and standardized interfaces that would allow different providers to operate across the same network.
βBy investing in standardized interfaces, we are creating a clear runway for any capable and innovative company to come in and compete,β β Col. Ryan Frazier, acting portfolio acquisition executive for Space Based Sensing and Targeting, said.

The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador managed to boost the value of a new 50-year electricity supply agreement with Hydro-Quebec, likely ending a long-running dispute with the province of Quebec. The C$49.3 billion ($35.5 billion) deal, on a net present value basis, if it materializes, could become the largest clean energy investment in North American history, according to the Canadian government.

β‘οΈπ§ββοΈ U.S. Treasury Department proposes GENIUS Act stablecoin rule
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has taken another big step toward implementing the new stablecoin law, proposing federal definitions on what it means to issue U.S. stablecoins and who needs to follow the rules set out in the GENIUS Act, even as the law's deadlines are fast approaching.
π The department is among several government entities and agencies that must put rules in place before the stablecoin industry's U.S. law is in full effect, also including the banking and markets regulators.
The proposal said the department tried to treat stablecoins as a new arena, though it studied established securities laws as a reference point, with their "longstanding legal regimes that address the issue, offer, and sale of other financial instruments, such as securities, including offshore activities."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration is trying to move quickly to put the rules in place "as we work to provide the regulatory certainty businesses need to innovate and grow in America, cement the role of the U.S. dollar as the worldβs reserve currency, and keep America the crypto capital of the world."π

The Moscow Exchange is preparing to launch perpetual futures for Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the first two perpetual crypto contracts expected to be available for trading as early as September, according to Maria Patrikeeva, the managing director of the exchange's derivatives market.
Cryptocurrency derivatives appeared on the Moscow Exchange's futures market in the summer of 2025. Currently, qualified investors can already work with monthly and quarterly contracts linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, and Tron.
The next step will be to introduce perpetual contracts for the same underlying assets. The exchange intends to gradually expand the list of digital coins to ten.
The cryptocurrency lineup complements preparations already under way for futures on US instruments.

The Trump administration says the nationβs science and technology research ecosystem needs to embrace βnovel security solutionsβ to ensure the U.S. maintains its global edge, according to a new document publicly released on Monday.
It noted, for instance, that the FBI-led Quantum Information Science and Technology Counterintelligence Protection Team βbrings an interagency team of quantum experts and security professionals to fine-tune technology protection and security outreach activities for the quickly evolving quantum R&D community.β
βThe United States will further strengthen its workforce by attracting and retaining top-tier global talent in critical national security S&T fields,β β the strategy says.
βAgencies will collaborate on using existing authorities to recruit the exquisite talent necessary to ensure the national security S&T Enterprise leads the world in developing and applying these technologies.βπ

In a case that carries enormous risk for one of the worldβs most valuable tech companies, the top legal officers of 29 states are seeking not only massive financial penalties, but also court orders that could force Meta to change how it operates its platforms.
