Since its introduction in April, learning mode has only been available to Claude for Education users. Now, like OpenAI did with Study Mode, Anthropic is making the tool available to everyone.

When Theft Replaces Encryption: Blue Report 2025 on Ransomware & Infostealers

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-19 09:01:11

Ransomware and infostealer threats are evolving faster than most organizations can adapt. While security teams have invested heavily in ransomware resilience, particularly through backup and recovery systems, Picus Security's Blue Report 2025 shows that today's most damaging attacks aren't always about encryption. Instead, both ransomware operators and infostealer campaigns often focus on credential theft, data exfiltration, and lateral movement, leveraging old-school stealth and persistence to

I Made a Realtime C/C++ Build Visualizer

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-19 11:06:55

August 13, 2025・6 minute read Many software projects take a long time to compile. Sometimes that’s just due to the sheer amount of code, like in the LLVM project. But often a build is slower than it should be for dumb, fixable reasons. I’ve had the suspicion that most builds are doing dumb stuff, but I had no way to see it. So I’ve been working on a cross-platform tool to help speed up builds (you can try it, see below). It works with any build system or programming language (Not just C/C++).
