arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 21:31:22

Last week, a prominent US senator called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Microsoft for cybersecurity negligence over the role it played last year in health giant Ascension's ransomware breach, which caused life-threatening disruptions at 140 hospitals and put the medical records of 5.6 million patients into the hands of the attackers. Lost in the focus on Microsoft was something as, or more, urgent: never-before-revealed details that now invite scrutiny of Ascension’s own security

news.ycombinator.com Dirk-Jan Mollema 2025-09-21 12:03:21

While preparing for my Black Hat and DEF CON talks in July of this year, I found the most impactful Entra ID vulnerability that I will probably ever find. This vulnerability could have allowed me to compromise every Entra ID tenant in the world (except probably those in national cloud deployments). If you are an Entra ID admin reading this, yes that means complete access to your tenant.

This $30M startup built a dog crate-sized robot factory that learns by watching humans

While many robotics companies are building human-sized robots, or working to automate entire factories, MicroFactory is instead trying to think big by building small. San Francisco-based MicroFactory built a general-purpose, tabletop manufacturing kit that’s about the size of my Siberian Husky’s dog crate.

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21.

China Takes a Key Step Toward Its ‘Meltdown-Proof’ Nuclear Reactor

China’s ambitious plan to dramatically pull back from fossil fuels is perhaps most evident in the explosive growth of its nuclear energy program. The latest news suggests China may be tantalizingly close to bringing self-cooling reactors to practical use—a development with profound safety implications. In a statement earlier this week, the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) announced that it had recently concluded tests for a residual heat removal system for integral fast reactors (IFRs).
