Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping the tech and cybersecurity landscape. First, despite ongoing U.S. trade restrictions, Huawei has emerged as a powerful competitor to Nvidia with its advanced Ascend AI chips and expansive AI ecosystem. Next, we examine how a single weak password led to a ransomware attack that shuttered a 158-year-old transport company, resulting in 700 job losses and a multi-million-pound ransom demand. Then, we introduce The Ether Machine, a new crypto treasury firm going public with a unique focus on generating yield through Ethereum staking—challenging traditional Ether ETFs. Following that, Microsoft issues a critical warning about an active zero-day vulnerability in SharePoint servers, exploited by hackers to infiltrate networks and potentially manipulate financial systems. Finally, we cover Figma’s upcoming $16.4 billion IPO, notable not only for marking a comeback after a failed Adobe acquisition but also for its bold $100 million Bitcoin investment.
