An infostealer log can bypass MFA—respond within the first hour

A corporate password found in an infostealer log should be treated as a possible live identity compromise, not just an old credential leak. Security teams need to determine within minutes whether the data includes active browser sessions, identity-provider access, VPN or RDP credentials, and then revoke sessions and reset passwords before attackers can use them.

📰 Greg KH Forewarns Of "Rough" Linux 7.3 Kernel Cycle Due To Continued AI Churn

While Linux 7.3-rc1 only released this week and there are another roughly seven weeks to go until the official kernel release, Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman is already warning that it's likely to be another "rough" kernel cycle given the ongoing noise caused by AI/LLM with the increase in bug reports and kernel patches...

OpenAI declares the “AGI era” with the release of GPT-6 Astra

GPT-6 Astra is now rolling out to selected organizations, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman says the model may mark the beginning of the “AGI era.” The release follows Astra’s designation as OpenAI’s first model to reach the “critical” cybersecurity capability threshold, meaning it can autonomously discover unknown vulnerabilities and construct exploit chains.

Microsoft Security enhancements: Defender MDR Plan 2, Entra Tenant Governance, Intune Autopilot, Purview Auto-Labeling, and AI Agent Containment

Microsoft's August 2026 security roundup covers managed detection for third-party logs, multi-tenant identity governance, Intune device onboarding and remote support, higher Purview auto-labeling throughput, and new guidance for containing AI agents. If you manage Windows endpoints and Microsoft 365, these changes affect how you onboard devices, label data before using Copilot, and prepare for autonomous software agents.

GPT-6 Astra review

Matthew Berman calls OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra his most capable model yet, highlighting major gains in coding, spatial reasoning, browser control, and autonomous game creation. His demonstrations show Astra building functional 3D environments from short prompts, while benchmark results and safety testing suggest a substantial advance over GPT-5.6 and Claude Fable 5.1.

Vivaldi 8.2 is out with a calculator in the address bar

Vivaldi 8.2 rolled out today (3 September 2026) and lets you do quick and private math calculations directly in the address bar. This may prove useful when you don’t want to open to a new tab or a calculator app. I’ve often narrowed my eyes at an online checkout page after applying a coupon code (don’t judge), muttering “that can’t be right”. A quick number crunch later and, of course, it always is. You can click to copy the the result to your system clipboard, ready to paste elsewhere. Previous versions Vivaldi let you do local calculations from the Quick Commands menu, […]

📰 Malicious .git Configs Can Make Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Other AI Agents Run Attacker Code

Manifold Security has disclosed eight security flaws across seven command-line AI coding agents in which a repository's own Git configuration names a command that the agent runs on the developer's machine, four of them still unpatched at publication.The command executes as the user, outside the agent's sandbox and without an approval prompt, and exploitation requires the repository to arrive.

‍CERN переводит более 2200 систем управления ускорителями с RHEL-семейства на Debian 13

30 августа на MiniDebConf Winterthur 2026 инженеры CERN Федерико Вага и Никос Ципинакис представили доклад «Controlling CERN’s Accelerators with Debian», посвящённый переводу компьютеров системы управления ускорительным комплексом с дистрибутивов семейства Red Hat на Debian. Согласно опубликованным CERN материалам, до конца 2026 года Debian 13 должен быть установлен более чем на 2200 промышленных компьютерах и встраиваемых системах. 1 сентября это отдельно подтвердила Debian Publicity Team.
При этом речь не идёт о полном отказе CERN от RHEL или AlmaLinux. В начале презентации авторы специально вынесли на отдельные слайды фразы «WE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT DATA CENTERS» и «WE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT EXPERIMENTS»: миграция касается прежде всего Front-End Computers (FEC), непосредственно управляющих оборудованием ускорителей. В документации Linux @ CERN RHEL и AlmaLinux по-прежнему перечислены среди поддерживаемых систем, а для AlmaLinux 9 и 10 продолжает поддерживаться интеграция с инфраструктурой CERN. Таким образом, заголовки о полном «прощании с Red Hat и IBM» несколько преувеличивают масштаб изменений.

📰 CERN Transitioning To Debian After Being A Longtime RHEL Institution

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, besides being well known for its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is known among longtime Linux users as a RHEL/CentOS shop. CERN formally even co-maintained the Scientific Linux RHEL derivative with other educational/research institutions in the past. So to much surprise now, CERN is transitioning to Debian Linux...
