When Login Isn't Enough: How Infostealers and Session Hijacking Are Breaking Identity Security
Organizations managing thousands of human and non-human identities across cloud, SaaS, endpoints, and remote environments face a new reality: credential abuse drives 22% of breaches, infostealer malware surged 84% in a single year, and session-token theft bypasses MFA entirely. This article examines the tactics attackers use to compromise accounts — from MFA fatigue and sophisticated phishing to endpoint-based credential harvesting — and why continuous verification is becoming essential.
Why Human Cognition Is the Last Unbroken Competitive Edge
How creativity, emotional intelligence, and ethical reasoning remain irreplaceable as AI reshapes work — and why collaboration, not competition, is the only path forward.
The $3 Million Frontend Heist That Proves Prediction Markets Aren't as Safe as They Look
Hackers exploited a third-party vendor dependency to inject malicious JavaScript into Polymarket's frontend, tricking users into approving fraudulent transactions and stealing $3M in ParyonUSD tokens — with the platform pledging full reimbursement despite no backend compromise.
The Thump That Could Change Air Travel: Inside NASA’s Quiet Supersonic Jet
NASA’s X-59 isn’t just about speed—it’s about silence. After decades of silence over land, this experimental jet could make supersonic flight normal again—if the world finds its thump acceptable.
Your Brain and AI Predict Words the Same Way — Here’s Why That Changes Everything
A peer-reviewed neuroscientific study using M/EEG reveals that the human brain and AI language models share identical predictive coding architectures, operating with millisecond-level parallel processing to anticipate linguistic structures — challenging the notion that AI merely mimics human cognition and suggesting a fundamental convergence in neural and algorithmic design.
From Energy to Alphabet: The Investigative Career of Katherine Blunt
An overview of Katherine Blunt's journalism career, from her in-depth exploration of California's energy crisis to her current coverage of Alphabet Inc.
AI Companion Apps Face Growing Legal Scrutiny Over Child Safety Risks

Wired for Alarm: Aligning Evolutionary Biology and Modern Democracy
We're wired for immediate threats, not 24/7 digital chaos. Understanding why our brains keep flagging red alerts—and how we can override those defaults—is the only way to actually improve our democracy.
The Hidden Engine of Adaptation: Fluid Intelligence as Mental Agility
Fluid intelligence—the swift, pattern-based reasoning that lets you navigate unfamiliar challenges without relying on stored knowledge—is often overshadowed by crystallized intelligence. This article unpacks its mechanism (working memory), real-world manifestations, belief-updating power, and evidence-based strategies to cultivate it.
