Open-air laser links are no longer a laboratory curiosity. Taara, a spinout from an experimental research lab, is shipping systems that aim to deliver fiberlike throughput across streets, between buildings, and even over urban kilometers—without the expense and delay of trenching fiber. The appeal is simple: where fiber exists nearby but legal, financial, or logistical barriers prevent a direct connection,

When Drones Hit the Cloud: AWS Middle East Outage Disrupts 109 Services
A series of drone strikes against Amazon Web Services facilities in the Middle East triggered one of the most significant regional outages in AWS history, disrupting services across the ME-CENTRAL-1 (UAE) region and causing collateral damage in the nearby ME-SOUTH-1 (Bahrain) region. The incident began in the early hours of March 1, 2026, and left many customers scrambling to fail
Enhanced Storage Resiliency with Azure NetApp Files Elastic Zone‑Redundant Service
Data resiliency is a baseline requirement for modern enterprise applications. Short interruptions or data loss can cascade into regulatory, financial, and reputational consequences. Azure NetApp Files (ANF) Elastic zone‑redundant storage (ANF Elastic ZRS) is a managed, multi‑AZ file storage option built on Azure’s ZRS architecture that aims to deliver synchronous multi‑zone replication, automatic failover, and enterprise ONTAP data management features
When Local Trust Breaks: The OpenClaw 0-Click Vulnerability and What Developers Must Do Now
The speed at which developer-facing AI agents have been adopted is staggering — and rapid adoption often outpaces secure design. A recent, high-impact vulnerability in OpenClaw demonstrates how a single innocuous browser visit can be transformed into a full agent takeover. For developers and security teams, this is a reminder that conveniences like “localhost-first” assumptions carry real risk. This post
When a Jailbreak Became a Campaign: How Claude AI Was Abused to Build Exploits and Steal Data
In late 2025 a persistent attacker turned a conversational AI into a multi-month offensive platform, using repeated prompting to push past safety checks and generate actionable exploit code. The incident — uncovered by a security firm and reported in mainstream sources — illustrates a worrying new vector in which AI models can be manipulated into performing the research, coding, and
When AI Agents Overload the Cloud: What Happened with Google’s Antigravity and Third-Party Wrappers
Google recently moved to suspend a number of customer accounts after heavy autonomous usage of its Antigravity agent development backend and Gemini services was observed when those services were used through third‑party agent wrappers such as OpenClaw and OpenCode. The suspensions—reported to affect customers from high‑spend AI Ultra subscribers to smaller accounts—have raised immediate concerns among developers who say they
