Attackers use AI to increase velocity, scale and sophistication. Just as AI is improving, so will attackers’ use of it. GreyVibe is one to watch. GreyVibe, a previously undocumented threat actor, is described by WithSecure as a Russia-nexus group. The researchers are confident in their attribution of GreyVibe to Russian-speaking operators in the Moscow time zone, but are less certain whether the group is cybercriminal, nation-state – or a mix of the two. The primary focus of the group, targeting Ukrainian military, government, civilian, and business entities since August 2025, aligns closely with Russian state interests. At the same time,…

Home » Artificial intelligence » Anthropic Costs and Profit Margins Anthropic is likely at 75-90% profit margin most of the time on user subscriptions. Most users are likely in the 10-50% usage levels and some don’t use it all just like stored balance credit cards. This means that AI data center operators at 60-80% profit margin or chip and memory makers in the same range of 70-80% profit margins are in comparable levels. This dynamic can change if there was complete vertical integration from data centers, chips, models and applications. The most popular AI subscription will run you about $20/month…

That’s about to change however, with the new xbx range.Standing for ‘X by Xreal’, and not some Xbox tie-in as I initially thought it was, this sub-brand will champion new glasses lines, starting with…

The BTMOB remote access trojan (RAT) is becoming a heightened threat to Android users due to its data theft and device takeover capabilities, ESET warns. Believed to be based on the SpySolr malware, BTMOB is distributed via phishing attacks leveraging lures such as streaming, cryptocurrency mining, and other familiar services. Its developers, however, sell it bundled with an APK builder interface, allowing threat actors to tailor lures and create new payloads based on their target geographies, without writing code. “Once someone purchases the malicious kit, they can adapt its features, including the phishing lures so they impersonate the brand or…

The land is always changing, sometimes by human hands: cities are built, farms expanded, and forests logged. Other changes lie mostly outside people’s control: wildfires burn through communities, and hurricanes reshape coastlines. For most of the past four decades, observations from the Landsat satellite record show that humans have dominated changes to the U.S. landscape. Recent research revealed a shift in that trend, suggesting that disasters might be catching up. In a NASA-funded study published in Nature Geoscience, scientists analyzed nearly 35 years of data from NASA/USGS Landsat satellites to better understand what has been shaping the continental U.S. landscape.…

Samsung’s next big foldable may have surfaced early, and the standout change is hard to ignore. A leaked dummy unit said to show the Samsung Fold 8 Wide points to a much slimmer profile than the company’s current book-style foldables. The short video compares the mockup with what’s described as a Galaxy S25 Edge, suggesting the foldable could close down to a surprisingly slim shape. For Samsung, that would mark a noticeable design shift after years of Fold models that packed strong hardware into bodies that still felt bulky beside newer rivals. Still, this is not a Samsung reveal. The…

Fingerprint unlock is the best: it’s fast and it’s secure. Since phone makers have moved the fingerprint sensor under the screen, whether via optical sensor (which uses light to scan your unique fingerprint) or ultrasonic (which uses sound waves to scan your unique fingerprint), these sensors have gotten very convenient. What you might not know is that Samsung devices (which do a lot of tracking) have the built-in ability to launch different apps, and even perform different app actions (like launch camera and take selfie, or open Google Maps and navigate home) simply by using a different finger. That’s right:…

Samsung’s rumored wide-screen foldable smartphone, widely referred to as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide, is expected to debut in July. The device has already surfaced in multiple leaks, revealing its design and key specifications. Now, a hands-on video showcasing a dummy unit of the Galaxy Z Fold Wide has appeared online, courtesy of Sonny Dickson. In the leaked video, the alleged Samsung foldable dummy is shown in a white finish. While dummy units may not perfectly reflect the actual product, the device appears slim. Also visible are the dual-rear cameras, the power and volume buttons, and the USB Type-C port.…
