🚨 BREAKING: MBS AND PRESIDENT XI IN A MASSIVE DIPLOMATIC SHOWDOWN ! 🇸🇦🇨🇳

🇸🇦 ​Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman confronts Beijing over escalating missile threats: "We sign massive economic pacts and place our trust in your partnership, yet your supply chains keep feeding advanced missile components to the Houthis pounding our borders!" 🤯

​🇨🇳 Chinese President Xi Jinping fires right back: "China maintains global and decentralized trade networks—do not pin every regional proxy movement on Beijing's direct policy!"

​🇸🇦 MBS delivers an absolute ultimatum: "Don't hide behind corporate deniability! If your hardware continues flowing to those who threaten our soil, your access to our energy markets and strategic projects faces a permanent cutoff!"

​🇨🇳 Xi counters: "You can threaten our energy imports, but shifting global supply chains means Riyadh cannot simply sever ties with the world's primary industrial engine!"

​The tectonic plates of Middle East alliances are shifting in real-time! ⚡️

A stolen session cookie gets an attacker in without touching MFA. The hard part isn't finding the leak, it's acting before they use it.

This hacker is truly legendary. A complete amateur.

1. He left directory listing enabled on his own server, so researchers could figure out who he was with barely any effort.
2. They found files like CLAUDE.md and went through his Claude Code sessions.
3. There were questions like, “Where can I sell this data?”
4. He’d also asked, “Can you write my résumé?” That pretty much handed them all his personal information.
5. Apparently, he’s a student at South China University of Technology living in Guangdong. His name, phone number, and where he lives have all been identified.

If you're 17 (or any age) and you want to learn to build LLMs from scratch, read chapters 15-16 of Deep Learning with Python, available online here: https://t.co/Nisfkzf9sC

In particular, chapter 15 has one of the best explanations of WHY dot-product attention works that you'll find anywhere.

❗️ Samsung's Galaxy S26 was remotely hacked three times on Day One of Pwn2Own Ireland, while Google's Pixel 10 survived a $300,000 attempt.

Researchers earned $388,500 for 32 zero-days and also broke LiteLLM, Sonos, Philips Hue, Oracle's Autonomous AI Database and OpenAI Codex.

VinSOC leads with $97,500 as Day Two gets underway with KAIST targeting the Pixel 10 over USB.

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models

“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.

“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.

“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.

“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’

“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

Today, we sued TP-Link for lying about the safety of its routers and its ties to the CCP.

TP-Link sold Floridians the digital front door to their home network while misrepresenting how secure it was, how separated the company was from China, and what could happen to their data.

The FBI’s arrest of an alleged PRC agent accused of surveilling President Lai’s son is deeply concerning.

Beijing’s transnational repression must be taken seriously. Democracies must stand together against CCP intimidation.

1/ How I infiltrated a Chinese organized crime syndicate that has laundered $1B+ across multiple exploits for Lazarus Group.

Posing as a client, I gathered intel that helped action freezes for the Feb 2025 Bybit exploit and attribute illicit activity onchain.

The Chinese government allegedly sent an operative to surveil the family of Taiwan’s President ON AMERICAN SOIL — photos, video, license plates — then she tried to hop a flight back to Shanghai.

Wrong move.

FBI Los Angeles arrested Wanying Zhang at LAX on charges of acting as an unregistered agent of the PRC.

Foreign adversaries take note: America is NOT your playground.

Under President Trump’s leadership, this FBI is hunting national security threats wherever they hide — and putting them in cuffs.

‼️ Meet Chinese spy Wanying Zhang aka “Heather”, who spied on the US-based son of the Taiwanese president and was arrested.

She texted her handler "Saw him. Young male. It's that young one," and "I am videorecording."

We found her online profiles 🧵

[F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli]

We just arrested a Chinese foreign agent at LAX attempting to depart for China.

Wanying Zhang, aka “Heather,” 34, of Irvine, was arrested today by @FBILosAngeles on a federal complaint charging her with acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China.

According to the affidavit, Zhang traveled to Seattle in 2025 and, at the direction of PRC officials, surveilled a close relative of a Taiwanese government official, sending photos, videos, and license plate information to those officials.

She coordinated the trip with an associate and used tradecraft to avoid detection. She never notified the Attorney General she was acting for a foreign government, a federal offense.

She will appear in federal court in Los Angeles tomorrow for her initial appearance. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
