Note sull'episodio

Your Monday catch-up on the week in tech, with a security lens. This week the real AI story wasn't a model — it was the physical bill coming due. Samsung posts a record quarterly profit, up nearly nineteen-fold, on AI-memory demand; SK Hynix raises around 29 billion dollars in one of the biggest-ever US share listings; and Britain's National Grid tips 1.75 billion into a US power project built to feed a single Microsoft data centre. Microsoft cuts about 4,800 jobs and overhauls Xbox as it reallocates toward AI. Europe's top court makes Google's 4.1-billion-euro Android fine final. And on the security desk: a perfect-10 Adobe ColdFusion flaw (CVE-2026-48282) is exploited within two hours of disclosure and draws an emergency CISA patch order, Accenture confirms a breach after a criminal offers stolen data for sale, and INTERPOL's Operation First Light nets 5,811 arrests and 293 million dollars.
