World First: Physicists Created a Time Crystal That We Can Actually See

Physicists have just made a new breakthrough in the enigmatic realm of time crystals.

For the first time, a time crystal has been built that can be directly seen by human eyes, rippling in an array of neon-hued stripes. The material’s construction could open up a whole new world of technological possibilities, including new anti-counterfeiting measures, random number generators, two-dimensional barcodes, and optical devices.

“They can be observed directly under a microscope and even, under special conditions, by the naked eye,” says physicist Hanqing Zhao of the University of Colorado Boulder.

Hackers steal 3,325 secrets in GhostAction GitHub supply chain attack

A new supply chain attack on GitHub, dubbed ‘GhostAction,’ has compromised 3,325 secrets, including PyPI, npm, DockerHub, GitHub tokens, Cloudflare, and AWS keys.

The attack was discovered by GitGuardian researchers, who report that the first signs of compromise on one of the impacted projects, FastUUID, became evident on September 2, 2025.

The attack involved leveraging compromised maintainer accounts to perform commits that added a malicious GitHub Actions workflow file that triggers automatically on ‘push’ or manual dispatch.

Salesloft: March GitHub repo breach led to Salesforce data theft attacks

Salesloft says attackers first breached its GitHub account in March, leading to the theft of Drift OAuth tokens later used in widespread Salesforce data theft attacks in August.

Salesloft is a widely used sales engagement platform that helps companies manage outreach and customer communications. Its Drift platform is a conversational marketing tool that integrates chatbots and automation into sales pipelines, including integrations with platforms like Salesforce.

The two have been at the center of a major supply-chain style breach first disclosed in late August, with Google’s Threat Intelligence Group attributing the attacks to UNC6395.
