At 9.30am, when visitors were already streaming into the museum's galleries, two masked thieves used a goods lift on a truck parked on the riverbank side of the building to reach a balcony on the first floor. Using two grinders, which they also reportedly threatened museum employees with, the thieves cut through a glazed window leading to the Apollo Gallery of decorative art, smashed two cabinets displaying 19th century royal and imperial jewellery and grabbed ten items, before escaping back down the ladder and fleeing with two accomplices on TMax scooters.

Sidero Labs has been developing Talos Linux, an immutable operating system purpose-built exclusively for running Kubernetes, alongside Omni, a cluster lifecycle management platform. InfoQ met the Sidero team in Amsterdam during the TalosCon 2025 and had conversations about their approach to simplifying Kubernetes operations through minimalism and security-first design. The concept for Talos emerged from practical frustrations with traditional operating systems in enterprise environments.

What is software? "Software" is actually quite a broad term, spanning everything from low-level firmware running on devices; operating systems; command-line tools that only developers use; compiled code that runs on its own; interpreted code that needs some other piece of software - or even an entire other application like a web browser! - to run it. Software takes many, many forms, and is created and executed in many different ways for many different purposes.

"The MSPs that are going to stand out in the future are certainly going to be the MSPs that simplify the complex,"

It will be the most high-security sports event in Norway since the Winter Olympics in 1994. Anti-terror measures are in place throughout Oslo; a no-fly zone will be implemented in the skies above Ullevi Stadion and through all the tension it could be easy to forget that the national team are within touching distance of a first World Cup appearance for 27 years. Beating Israel would put them on the verge but the visitors' presence has added multiple layers of complexity and controversy.

I'm where I am today because I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, and I strongly believe in paying it forward. A good mentor listens, provides honest feedback, and helps you see opportunities beyond your current path. In security, mentorship is especially vital because so much of the profession is shaped by experience, judgment and context.

A new firmware update--Version: 25.06-12.02.00--for the PlayStation 5 console has gone live, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't do much. What this new update does is improve the security on your device, but don't expect to see any new major features added to your PS5 once it has been installed. "We've made some security fixes to the system software," reads the very succinct update notes.

Please update your systems to take care of a security related bug we found last month. Luis Falcon has found that trytond may log sensitive data like passwords when the logging level is set to INFO. ImpactCVSS v3.0 Base Score: 4.2 Attack Vector: Network Attack Complexity: Low Privileges Required: High User Interaction: None Scope: Unchanged Confidentiality: High Integrity: None Availability: None Workaround Increasing the logging level above INFO prevents logging of the sensitive data.

Local law enforcement, along with the Secret Service, approached someone they said looked suspicious. And at that time, he told them that he was a member of law enforcement. He was armed. They continued to interview him, determined that he was not a member of law enforcement. He was taken into custody and remains in custody right now, Gray said.

This column has previously cited or recommended books on security, risk and leadership. Having just submitted a book manuscript to a publisher that explores the confluence of those three topics, I discovered that I drew most inspiration for my approach and analysis from works that don't directly relate to any of these subjects. (I should note that I tapped this column for content that I updated or more fully developed in the book).

As Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels made his way through the concourse of Capital One Arena following a Washington Capitals game in late April, he was forced to begrudgingly reach a conclusion about his status in the nation's capital that many had known for months: He was a big deal. On this day, the simple act of walking to the bathroom required the help of four to five security guards. There, a handful of fans tried to snap selfies with him.

Good morning. I was in Scottsdale yesterday, recording a podcast on site at Deloitte's Next Generation CEO Program, when news about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk began to trickle in. We had been talking about the challenge of being a public figure in business or politics these days, the need for visionary and visible leadership, when visibility can come at a price.

I started using Linux prior to the advent of sudo. Back then, any time I needed to run admin tasks, I had to first su to the root user, run the task, and then exit the root user. Because root was enabled, some users would simply log in as root and forgo a standard user account altogether. That's a security risk no one should take.

Back in the mid-2000s, web browsers were struggling to keep up with the modern web. Google's founders saw the browser as critical ("our entire business is people using a browser to access us and the Web" as CEO Eric Schmidt recalled[2]), yet the incumbents weren't architected for rich web apps. In 2006, a small team of ex-Firefox engineers at Google - led by Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher - started sketching ideas for a new browser built for the "cloud era."

Redis Enterprise 7.2 comes to its official end of life in February 2026, so what should users do in this situation and what lessons can they take away for the end-of-life management experiences that they will inevitably experience with other platform and tools? Redis is good, but when a version update drives users into an alleyway, what should they do? As an open source, in-memory data store known for its ability to act as a distributed cache, message broker and database, Redis is lauded for its high-performance, low-latency read/write speeds achieved through memory data storage. Come February next year, Redis software application developers, data science professionals and other connected operations staff will need to have been doing some prudent planning.

"I believe that the Franco-German tandem is now perfectly coordinated to create a stronger Europe in the areas of economy, trade and currency,"

Not long ago, building an app meant endless spreadsheets, coding, and clunky tools. Today, 70% of new apps are expected to be built with low-code or no-code tools-nearly triple the 2020 rate. Modern AI platforms allow anyone, coder or not, to create powerful automated workflows. But with so many options, finding the right fit isn't simple. You need a tool that matches your team's skills, integrates with your stack, and delivers real value.

In the story he sent to The Register, Andy's job was to visit a site he described as "an internationally important top-secret control bunker, buried deep under the UK countryside." Andy didn't know exactly what happened at this site, but it was clearly Very Important because when the client there required urgent repairs, they arranged a police escort to speed technicians to the site.

Microsoft is introducing new limits for onmicrosoft.com domains. Organizations can now send a maximum of 100 external emails per day via these standard domains to prevent spam. The new measure limits messages from onmicrosoft.com domains to 100 external recipients within 24 hours. Previously, there were no limits for Microsoft Online Email Routing Address (MOERA) domains. Microsoft is responding to an ongoing issue within Microsoft 365. Spammers are abusing new tenants to send large amounts of unwanted emails before Microsoft can intervene.

These changes improve PyPI's overall account security posture, making it harder for attackers to exploit expired domain names to gain unauthorized access to accounts.

Immutable Linux distributions ensure that critical system directories are set to read-only mode, which prevents unauthorized changes and enhances overall system security.

HashiCorp's Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) support for HCP Terraform allows customers to fully control the encryption keys for sensitive Terraform artifacts, enhancing security.
