AWS is restoring operations after a massive outage disrupted internet access worldwide, affecting major platforms like Snapchat, Facebook, Fortnite, Delta, Coinbase, and several banks. The issue stemmed from a DNS failure that temporarily prevented access to data stored in AWS systems, causing widespread service interruptions and “Error 404” messages. Experts say the outage, which exposed how heavily global internet infrastructure depends on AWS, may have cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Amazon says it has “fully mitigated” the issue and continues investigating the root cause. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and guest host Kate Scarcella.

At NetApp INSIGHT 2025, the company announced several major innovations, including the new AI Data Engine, which pre-processes ONTAP data for use with LLMs and AI agents. This platform features advanced metadata management, data synchronization, data governance, and data curation, along with a built-in vector database to streamline AI workloads. NetApp also introduced AFX, a new architecture that allows independent scaling of storage and compute, built around the AFX 1K storage controller, optional DX50 data compute node, and NX224 NVMe enclosure, with support for a wide range of storage protocols. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

Security researchers have figured out how to break enclaves. Sort of. In papers published this week, two independent groups have revealed their latest exploits, Battering RAM and Wiretap. They both work by attacking memory where encrypted data is stored. Both Intel SGX and AMD SEV-SNP use deterministic encryption to store data in RAM for performance reasons. These attacks can replay the data in plain text form. The catch? You need to have a hardware device, called an interposer, between the CPU and the RAM banks. You also need to watch the RAM in a very specific spot to collect the data. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

Microsoft stopped a phishing attack that used AI-generated code to hide its malicious payload and trick victims. Hackers sent fake file-sharing emails from a compromised account, with an SVG file disguised as a PDF that contained hidden JavaScript. Microsoft’s Security Copilot flagged the code as AI-made because it was overly complex and unnatural, while Defender for Office 365 blocked the campaign by spotting suspicious behavior and infrastructure signals. Researchers noted that while AI makes attacks look more convincing, it also creates telltale signs that defenders can detect. The case shows how both attackers and defenders are using AI, making it crucial to prepare for more AI-driven threats.

NVIDIA is doubling down on AI dominance with massive investments across cloud, chips, and infrastructure. It struck a $6.3B deal with CoreWeave to secure long-term GPU demand, is investing $5B in Intel to co-develop custom CPUs and PC chips that pair Intel processors with NVIDIA GPUs, and is committing up to $100B with OpenAI to build data centers requiring 10 gigawatts of power. These moves lock in demand, expand NVIDIA’s role across computing ecosystems, and cement its leadership in the race to scale global AI infrastructure.

CoreWeave, a cloud provider backed by NVIDIA, secured a $6.3 billion order for AI computing capacity, with NVIDIA agreeing to buy any unused supply through 2032. The deal highlights CoreWeave’s reliance on NVIDIA, its sole GPU supplier and investor, while boosting its role in powering AI workloads. Despite strong growth—$1.21 billion in Q2 revenue, up 207% year-over-year—the company remains unprofitable, losing $290.5 million. Major contracts, including an $11.9 billion deal with OpenAI, have fueled demand and pushed CoreWeave’s market value above $58 billion.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Zelle’s parent company, Early Warning Services, accusing it of failing to protect customers from widespread fraud that cost victims over a billion dollars between 2017 and 2023. The suit claims EWS ignored known vulnerabilities and failed to enforce anti-fraud rules on its partner banks. Experts say the case raises major questions about the responsibilities of real-time payment platforms, highlighting the need for stronger security, identity verification, and consumer education. While a victory for New York could result in fines and mandated reforms, it remains uncertain whether consumers will see meaningful change or restitution.

Mary Ann Davidson, Oracle’s long-time Chief Security Officer, is leaving after nearly 40 years with the company. Known for both her leadership and controversial stances on security issues, her departure comes amid layoffs and a shift at Oracle toward AI-focused strategies. While not directly linked to recent security incidents, her exit reflects a generational change as the company brings in younger executives to tackle new cybersecurity and AI challenges.

SoftBank is investing $2 billion in Intel by buying shares at $23 each, strengthening their partnership to advance U.S. semiconductor technology. Both companies said the deal supports innovation, AI growth, and next-generation digital infrastructure, with Intel playing a key role in U.S. manufacturing. The agreement is still subject to standard closing approvals. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.
