16+ min ago (141+ words) FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Fort Wayne UNITED announced Wednesday that it has launched a new Cops Stop N" Shop program. The program is a partnership between the Fort Wayne Police Department and the Ten Point Coalition, created to support families in the Oxford community by offering access to essential resources. According to Fort Wayne UNITED, community partners will refer families to the program. Two of those families will then be selected each month to spend up to $500 while shopping alongside officers at a local Meijer. The organization"s Executive Director, George Hicks, says the program is about more than providing necessities, but also strengthening bonds between law enforcement, faith leaders, and the families. "We believe that through collaborative efforts and genuine engagement, we can create a safer, healthier, and more hopeful future for everyone in the Oxford Community," Hicks said....

Emerging from ARPANET research in the late 1960s, Telnet established critical standards for remote command-line interface access and became instrumental in shaping modern internet communication protocols. [aws] Technical Architecture and Operational Framework Telnet operates as a client-server protocol built upon the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), conventionally utilizing port 23 for communication. When a connection is established, the client device initiates a session with the remote server, transmitting commands that are executed remotely and returning output in real-time. This bidirectional communication model facilitates interactive control of the remote system's command-line interface. The protocol employs a sophisticated negotiation mechanism that allows clients and servers to agree upon various terminal options and capabilities before…...

25+ min ago (780+ words) Cybersecurity company Radware expects machine-to-machine traffic, AI-driven attacks and tighter regulation to reshape digital risk in 2026, as organisations adjust security strategies for what it describes as an emerging "internet of machines". Executives and researchers at the company forecast that autonomous software agents, new compliance rules and AI-enabled threat tools will alter how enterprises manage vulnerabilities, defend applications and interpret network activity. Pascal Geenens, Vice President of Threat Intelligence at Radware, said the balance of online activity is shifting away from human users and towards automated systems. "In 2026, M2M traffic will surpass human-initiated requests by a significant margin and by 2030 almost all traffic will be machine initiated. APIs will become the front lines of the agentic economy, and the first AI supply-chain attacks will redefine what 'trust' means in a machine-mediated world," said Pascal Geenens, VP, Threat Intelligence, Radware. He said the…...

25+ min ago (493+ words) A central London council said potentially sensitive and personal information was likely "copied and taken" by hackers during a cyber attack in November. Westminster City Council said the breach involved some "limited data" hosted on a shared IT system with Kensington and Chelsea Council. It said work was underway to understand exactly what details were taken and how it impacts residents. They said this will take time to complete but stressed the data was not lost or deleted and there is no indication at this stage that it has been published online. The council is one of three local authorities targeted in a cyber attack which took place on November 24. The council said it immediately shut down its IT system after noticing "unusual activity". Westminster City shares some services with Kensington and Chelsea Council. Kensington and Chelsea announced days after…...

29+ min ago (659+ words) Fortinet has unveiled a new integration that embeds its FortiGate virtual firewall directly on NVIDIA's BlueField-3 data processing unit, shifting core security functions away from host servers and into the data centre infrastructure that underpins emerging AI workloads. The move extends Fortinet's presence in private cloud and AI data centres and deepens its collaboration with NVIDIA around what both companies describe as the emerging "AI factory" model for large-scale, accelerated computing clusters. Under the arrangement, FortiGate VM now runs on the BlueField-3 DPU rather than on the host CPU. The integration targets environments that deploy high-density GPU nodes and high-speed fabrics for AI, private cloud and edge applications. Fortinet positions the approach as a way for enterprises and service providers to maintain security controls while keeping GPU resources focused on compute-intensive AI workloads. Security on the DPU The new solution…...

When he's not breaking news about new Android features, you'll find him posting about the cool tech products he's currently using. Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 brings back the expandable location indicator, a feature Google previously tested in Android 13 but never released. Tapping the new blue status bar icon opens a privacy dialog that explicitly lists which apps are currently accessing your location. Previously, the system alerted you to location access but failed to identify the specific app responsible for the tracking. Google rolled out Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 earlier today for Tensor-powered Pixel devices. While it includes expected features like flashlight brightness controls and navigation button order settings " changes we anticipated from recent Android Canary releases " it also brought a surprise: the return of the expandable location indicator in the…...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago (746+ words) Epistemic Status: Entirely ripped from Chapter 3 of "Causal Inference: The Mixtape" by Scott Cunningham which is graciously provided for free here and is generally a very good textbook. I hope that by writing this I provide a slightly shorter and easier to read explanation of the highlight (imo) of this chapter. All mistakes are my own and not the textbook's." Today I woke up and decided I wanted to explain backdoor paths in an intuitive way both to improve my own understanding and because I think it's a useful idea for rationalists working with causation (which is everyone all the time?). Also I find it really interesting, especially the second half." To explain backdoor paths, we are going to use Directed Acyclic Graphs, or DAGs for short. These sound really scary but they are actually just maps of causality." A…...

Recent data breach lawsuits stemming from social engineering attacks against Salesforce databases won't be consolidated, except for complaints filed against TransUnion set for federal Illinois court. The still-disparate Salesforce data breach suits allege separate attacks where different facts will emerge for each event. "Most of the complaints do not mention Salesforce, let alone allege that a common vulnerability in the Salesforce platform was a crucial factor in each data breach," according to the US Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation.

1+ hour, 29+ min ago (381+ words) Vendors said it is unclear what qualifies as a valid attestation, what evidence must be included or how often attestations are required. A new summary document released by Acting DoD CIO Katie Arrington compiled and analyzed industry responses to three separate DoD requests for information on advancing and securing software for the federal government. The SWFT effort intends to shift away from rigid checklist processes toward dynamic, continuous authorization to operate. To inform the shift, the CIO office issued three requests for information asking vendors for insights around tools in use, external assessment methodologies, and how automation and artificial intelligence could help the department accelerate secure software adoption. Not only did the first RFI, focused on Software Fast Track tools, reveal that companies are concerned about inconsistent attestation requirements, responses also flagged challenges with integrating the secure software framework into…...
