■ TOP STORY
Alphabet is raising $80 billion in equity, including a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway, to fund AI infrastructure and compute expansion. The company cited demand for AI solutions and services exceeding available supply.
► WHY IT MATTERS: This signals the scale of capital required to compete in frontier AI—one of the largest equity raises ever—and reveals compute constraints are now the limiting factor for tech giants.

| 2. |
Anthropic is scaling Project Glasswing to 150 new partners across 15+ countries using Claude Mythos Preview to scan critical infrastructure for security flaws. Partners have already discovered over 10,000 serious vulnerabilities.
► AI-powered vulnerability detection is now moving from pilot to mass deployment across critical infrastructure, accelerating the discovery of zero-days before attackers exploit them.
|
| 3. |
OpenAI's frontier models and Codex are now available through AWS, expanding distribution channels and integration options for enterprise customers. The move signals deeper partnership between the two cloud providers.
► Model availability through major cloud platforms reduces friction for enterprise adoption and increases competitive pressure on Microsoft's Azure-exclusive positioning.
|
| 4. |
Hackers successfully brute forced approximately 20 password vaults from Dashlane users, locking affected users out of their accounts and exposing the vulnerability of centralized credential storage.
► A major password manager breach demonstrates that even zero-knowledge architectures remain vulnerable to weak user passwords at scale, reviving questions about password manager security models.
|
| 5. |
Threat actors are deploying an AI-built ransomware toolkit that automates Active Directory discovery and endpoint detection and response (EDR) evasion, raising the sophistication bar for attacks.
► Adversaries are now using AI to automate reconnaissance and defense evasion, forcing security teams to match AI-driven attack complexity with similar detection capabilities.
