One Token to rule them all – Obtaining Global Admin in every Entra ID tenant

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. The vulnerability consisted of two components: undocumented impersonation tokens, called “Actor tokens”, that

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Is Bananas for Google Gemini’s AI Image Generator

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is in London, standing in front of a room full of journalists, outing himself as a huge fan of Gemini’s Nano Banana. “How could anyone not love Nano Banana? I mean Nano Banana, how good is that? Tell me it’s not true!” He addresses the room. No one responds. “Tell me it’s not true! It’s so good. I was just talking to Demis [Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind] yesterday and I said ‘How about that Nano Banana! How good is that?’” It looks like lots of people agree with him: The pop

Y Combinator-backed Rulebase wants to be the AI coworker for fintech

Y Combinator-alum Rulebase is betting that the next wave of automation in financial services won’t be about flashy AI interfaces, but the unglamorous back-office tasks like compliance. The startup, founded by Gideon Ebose and Chidi Williams, two Nigerian engineers who met in London, just raised a $2.1 million pre-seed round led by Bowery Capital, with participation from Y Combinator, Commerce Ventures, Transpose Platform VC, alongside several angels. Financial services firms spend enormous amo

Here’s why usage of Gemini’s Nano Banana image editor is growing

Google Gemini is breaking out of ChatGPT’s shadow, likely on the wings of its Nano Banana image editor and the viral trend of AI-generated, lifelike figurines. Google launched Nano Banana in late August. It hyped the model as a way to “transform images in amazing new ways” inside the Gemini app. To get the “perfect picture,” you simply pop an image into Gemini and “tell it what you’d like to change,” the company said. Google’s suggestions include redecorating your house, giving yourself a ’60s

Close the loop: analytics that teach your chatbot to fix itself

Many chatbots stall for the same reason. Unanswered questions build up and nothing changes. Teams ship a release and move on. Users try again and give up. The way out is simple. Treat every miss as a signal. Capture it in a standard way. Decide whether it was noise or a real gap. Turn real gaps into small updates in guardrails or knowledge. Run that loop every week. Measure how fast it moves. Results improve without bigger models. Start with lean instrumentation Analytics only works if the tra

How Palantir is mapping the nation’s data

When the U.S. government signs contracts with private technology companies, the fine print rarely reaches the public. Palantir Technologies, however, has attracted more and more attention over the past decade because of the size and scope of its contracts with the government. Palantir’s two main platforms are Foundry and Gotham. Each does different things. Foundry is used by corporations in the private sector to help with global operations. Gotham is marketed as an “operating system for global

Partnering with generative AI in the finance function

Generative AI is also showing promise in functions like treasury, with use cases including cash, revenue, and liquidity forecasting and management, as well as automating contracts and investment analysis. However, challenges still remain for generative AI to contribute to forecasting due to the mathematical limitations of LLMs. Regardless, Deloitte’s analysis of its 2024 State of Generative AI in the Enterprise survey found that one-fifth (19%) of finance organizations have already adopted gener

Top Democrat Calls for Congressional Probe Into Ties Between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to plague the Trump administration, and on Wednesday, a prominent Democratic senator called for Congress to investigate the financial ties between the dead sex criminal and a host of financial organizations and people, including tech billionaire Peter Thiel. Much of the debate about the “Epstein files” has centered around what records the Justice Department may have on his illicit sex crimes but, according to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), the more important fi

The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 5x camera could finally get a loooooong overdue upgrade

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 5x camera is tipped to have a wider aperture. This would enable brighter, cleaner shots, particularly in low-light conditions. It would also allow for 5x portrait snaps with more natural bokeh effects. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks continue to stream in, and we recently saw camera specs surface online. Now, a trusted leaker has revealed even more details about the Ultra phone’s camera hardware. Don’t want to miss the

Don’t let outdated IGA hold back your security, compliance, and growth

If organizations want to have any chance of protecting their data from unauthorized access in 2025 and beyond, there is no way around Identity Governance & Administration. But conventional IGA solutions are the wrong option for most businesses. For companies trying to keep their data secure while maintaining a competitive edge, the stakes could not be higher. Faced with an onslaught of identity-based attacks, they need a way to efficiently manage their increasingly complex IT environments while

Company Replaces Customer Support With AI, Then Panics and Forces Engineers to Work the Phones as the AI Fails

Of all the startups that have come and gone, the personal finance company Klarna might be one of the best bellwethers for the finance industry overall. Specializing in "buy now pay later" microloans — tiny cash advances for purchases that don't need to go through a bank — Klarna hit app stores at a time when US consumer debt was climbing toward a record high. Now a giant of the personal finance landscape, the billion-dollar company recently reported a jaw dropping 17 percent default rate on its

The U.S. makes it harder for TSMC, SK Hynix and Samsung to produce chips in China

A 300mm wafer on display at the booth of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company during the 2023 World Semiconductor Conference at Nanjing International Expo Center on July 19, 2023, in Nanjing, China. The U.S. has revoked a waiver that allowed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to export key chipmaking equipment and technology to its manufacturing plant in Nanjing, China, as Washington continues to ramp up efforts to limit Beijing's semiconductor advancement. The change will remove a f

Hackers breach fintech firm in attempted $130M bank heist

Today, we’re releasing a report that details how. Our Threat Intelligence report discusses several recent examples of Claude being misused, including a large-scale extortion operation using Claude Code, a fraudulent employment scheme from North Korea, and the sale of AI-generated ransomware by a cybercr

Ports, price, performance, or support: What trumps all on a Google TV streaming box?

Joe Maring / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Purchasing a TV streaming box is more daunting than choosing a new smartphone. With modern handsets, buying one that simply sucks is a rarity. You’ll have to juggle various pros and cons, but it’s been long since I’ve used an outright horrible phone. This isn’t true for TV boxes. Some obfuscate thei

These are the 6 things I’m hoping for on the new reMarkable device headed to shelves

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Earlier this week, the reMarkable team dropped a playful teaser with the suggestive tagline, “something is on the move.” The clip is choppy, fast-paced, and intentionally ambiguous, leaving shoppers guessing exactly what’s headed to shelves on September 3 at 8:00 AM ET. To be clear, I really like my ReMarkable Paper Pro (I even gave it 4 stars during my review), but who doesn’t love an upgrade? With the countdown to the reveal underway, here’s my wishlist. Wh

Banana Ball Fans: How to Watch the Savannah Bananas This Weekend

Sure, August marks the beginning of the NFL season, the US Open and NCAA sports, but let's not forget that we're also headed into the dog days of Banana Ball season. The Savannah Bananas have become a cult phenomenon, selling out nearly every major baseball stadium they've played in this year, including Fenway Park, Nationals Park and Camden Yards this summer. If you've only just caught on to the sport that features line-dancing, costumes and only a vague similarity to baseball, the bad news is

You can now ask Google Finance when Ethereum will hit its peak

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google has started testing AI features on its finance page in the US through Search Labs.

Google improves Gemini AI image editing with “nano banana” model

Something unusual happened in the world of AI image editing recently. A new model, known as "nano banana," started making the rounds with impressive abilities that landed it at the top of the LMArena leaderboard. Now, Google has revealed that nano banana is an innovation from Google DeepMind, and it's being rolled out to the Gemini app today. AI image editing allows you to modify images with a prompt rather than mucking around in Photoshop. Google first provided editing capabilities in Gemini e

Bridging the Governance Gap: AI, Risk, and Enterprise Innovation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is redrawing the boundaries of IT governance. Traditional frameworks built around predictability, transparency, and linear systems are ill-suited to AI and machine learning models’ dynamic, opaque, and constantly evolving nature. As organizations expand AI applications across critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and public services, the friction between innovation and oversight grows more pronounced. Without a reimagined governance strategy, these gaps can hind

When the Blade Breaks

A charter boat fisherman was among the first to discover the wreckage — a “mess,” he called it, deep off the coast of Massachusetts. From behind a veil of pea soup-thick fog emerged hundreds of white and green fiberglass and Styrofoam pieces, some as small as a fingernail, some as large as a truck hood. By the following morning, the tide had carried the debris about 12 nautical miles and scattered it across Nantucket Island’s beaches. Residents woke to a shoreline covered in trash, fiberglass sh

Pintarnya raises $16.7M to power jobs and financial services in Indonesia

Pintarnya, an Indonesian employment platform that goes beyond job matching by offering financial services along with full-time and side-gig opportunities, said it has raised a $16.7 million Series A round.
