Dutch authorities have taken offline a massive botnet of 17 million devices and seized more than 200 servers at a local provider that supported the operation.
The action was carried out following an investigation from the Police in collaboration with the country’s cybersecurity agency, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
According to the authorities, the seized servers controlled “computers, tablets, and smartphones to carry out cyberattacks.”
Google says the Chrome Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) security feature is now generally available and is rolling out to all users to prevent account takeovers.
Available in beta since April, DBSC was first announced in 2024 as a way to cryptographically bind session cookies to a specific device, preventing hackers from using such stolen cookies to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) and hijack users’ accounts.
DBSC works by cryptographically linking user sessions to the hardware, such as their computer’s security chip (e.g., the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on Windows and the Secure Enclave on macOS).
A North Carolina man was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for selling the personal information of over 7 million elderly Americans to Jamaican scammers.
57-year-old Troy Murray (who used the Steve Dixon pseudonym) pleaded guilty in January 2026 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and was sentenced Thursday to 121 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and ordered to forfeit $5,2 million.
Prosecutors said that Murray’s alias was so widely known among Jamaican scammers that it was referenced in a 2022 song lyric by a Jamaican musical artist.
A Google security engineer was charged with insider trading after winning $1.2 million using confidential company data to place bets on the cryptocurrency-based Polymarket decentralized prediction market.
36-year-old Michele Spagnuolo, an Italian citizen residing in Switzerland and a Google employee since 2014, appeared on Wednesday in the Southern District of New York.
In parallel, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a separate civil complaint the same day, seeking restitution, disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, and trading and registration bans.
Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI and founder of Safe Superintelligence, says the scaling era from 2020 to 2025 is over, that pre-training will run out of data, and that the industry is back to pure research with more companies than ideas. He argues that AGI is the wrong target what is actually coming is a learning algorithm that can take any job, learn it on the fly, and merge that knowledge across millions of simultaneous instances in a way humans cannot, producing rapid economic growth that regulation is unlikely to stop.
He predicts that once AI becomes visibly powerful, frontier companies will become paranoid overnight and governments will scramble, and says the only thing worth building is an AI aligned to sentient life broadly — not human life alone — because the AI itself will be sentient and will vastly outnumber humans within 5 to 20 years.

Scientists have developed a powerful new technique that allows them to observe how individual cells manufacture proteins during aging, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the hidden molecular activity of stem cells in living tissue. As a result of the research, conducted at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Switzerland, scientists were able to observe aging unfold inside individual epidermal stem cells.
What scientists saw was the intricate choreography within stem cells and how those molecular dance steps slow and change with age. The team of Swiss scientists has concluded that the process of aging reshapes how skin stem cells manufacture proteins. The findings are published in the journal Molecular Cell.
