Palo Alto VPN Flaw Turns GlobalProtect Into the New Front Door for Attackers. We partnered with Anthropic to make our Claude Code course free for everyone. No subscription, no trial. Just dive in. It’s taught by Lydia Hallie, who’s been an instructor with us for years and now works on the Claude Code team at Anthropic. When she taught Claude Code live, it broke every platform record we have with over 10,000 people tuning in. Lydia has a knack for visualizing how tools work under the hood, which is exactly the mental model you need to stop guessing with AI and start directing it. Palo Alto Networks has confirmed active exploitation of CVE-2026-0257, an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the GlobalProtect portal and gateway components in PAN-OS. In practical terms, the flaw can allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication controls an

From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief for June 11th. Here are today's top 10 tech stories. Let's get into it. First, from Network World. From the data center to the edge: How to build secure, effective enterprise AI infrastructure. While hyperscalers and neo-cloud providers may get the lion’s share of attention for providing AI infrastructure, many enterprises are taking a build-it-themselves approach to meet their specific AI requirements. The success of such projects is crucial to achieving business objectives, yet companies face significant challenges as they try to scale pilots to production. Organizations must keep up with the dynamic, ever-changing demands that AI applications place on compute and network infrastructure, from the data center to the edge. That means architecting systems to grow as demand warrants and to avoid performance bottlenecks. The architecture must also account for AI-driven security vulnerabilities and ensure appropriate defenses are in place. Yes,

From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief for June 10th. Here are today's top 10 tech stories. Let's get into it. First, from TechCrunch. It’s not FAANG anymore. It’s MANGOS.. With SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI all eyeing massive public debuts, the tech industry may soon have a new class of corporate overlords — and a new acronym to match. Say goodbye to FAANG and hello to MANGOS. Next. Second, from Ars Technica. Gold isn’t inert, it just has bodyguards protecting it. Gold is weird. It's one of the few metals that doesn’t really oxidize. Even silver and copper—from the same column of the periodic table—form weak oxides. Naively, you might expect that gold would tarnish just like silver. Gold also sits right next to platinum, but it has none of that metal’s catalytic properties. Then came gold nanoparticles that acted like catalysts, and we were confused by their apparent willingness to take part in chemical reactions. Now, a pair of scientists has explained that gold’s inertness is

The storyflo daily brief for June 8th. Here are today's top 10 A.I. stories. First, from AI News. Microsoft’s Majorana 2 quantum chip is also a case study for agentic AI in R&D. Microsoft’s Majorana 2 quantum chiparrived this week, with numbers that are genuinely difficult to contextualise: qubits 1,000 times more reliable than those of the first generation models, a mean qubit lifetime of 20 seconds against an industry norm measured in microseconds, and a revised roadmap targeting a commercially scalable quantum computer by 2029. Second, from AI News. Walmart’s AI workflows meet the realities of the balance sheet. Walmart has reportedly begun limiting employees’ use of an internal AI assistant called Code Puppy after demands placed on the LLM backing the tool were higher than expected. Employees of Walmart were encouraged to use Code Puppy without any stricture or stipulations as to the limits of use, but Walmart is now assigning employees a fixed number of AI tokens, which limits how

The storyflo daily brief for June 5th. Here are this week's top 10 A.I. stories. We are running a curated backlog catch-up so today's A.I. show has the same shape as the rest of the daily lineup. First, from storyflo · A.I.. A.I. · the day's top 10 · june 4th. The White House rolled out a trimmed‑down AI executive order on June 2, eliminating the mandatory 90‑day licensing scheme that had drawn industry pushback. Companies now have a voluntary 30‑day window to submit new models for government review, and a classified benchmarking process will be set up within two months to assess the models’ cyber‑risk profile. A “clearinghouse” of identified vulnerabilities will be shared with operators of critical infrastructure such as banks, utilities and hospitals. By removing compulsory licensing, officials argue they preserve U.S. competitiveness, but analysts warn the voluntary approach could let risky, open‑source or foreign‑origin models slip through unchecked, leaving a regulatory gap if a h
