ACTFortiBleed leak exposes Fortinet VPN credentials for 73,000 devices

An active large-scale credential compromise campaign dubbed FortiBleed has exposed validated administrator and VPN credentials for over 73,000 Fortinet FortiGate firewall devices across 194 countries, affecting organizations including Foxconn, Samsung, Comcast, PwC, and numerous government agencies. Attackers harvested configuration files, cracked stored hashes offline using GPU clusters, and built a searchable database organized by country, sector, and revenue.

PREPAREIntroducing AWS Continuum for Security at Machine Speed

AWS launched Continuum, an AI-driven security platform available in gated preview that automates the full vulnerability lifecycle — discovery, prioritization, validation, and remediation — at machine speed using multiple frontier models. The platform operates with a human-in-the-loop 'learn mode' that can scale to automated enforcement, addressing what AWS describes as a breaking point where AI-surfaced vulnerability volumes have outpaced human-led security operations.

WATCHChatGPT's market share slips below 50% for first time

According to Sensor Tower's State of AI 2026 report, ChatGPT's share of the global AI assistant market fell to 46.4% by end of May — the first time below 50% since its 2022 launch — while Google Gemini reached 27.7% and Anthropic's Claude climbed to 10.3%. The platform still holds 1.1 billion monthly users, but users are increasingly willing to switch between assistants, with specific events like OpenAI's DoD partnership triggering measurable uninstall spikes.

WATCHA startup claims it broke through a bottleneck that's holding back LLMs

AI startup Subquadratic emerged from stealth claiming it has solved the quadratic attention bottleneck that has constrained large language model efficiency for nearly a decade, by replacing dense transformer attention with a sparse approach that dramatically reduces compute requirements. While some experts remain skeptical of the stronger claims, early evidence suggests the approach could deliver meaningful speed and cost improvements for certain task categories.

PREPAREIT operating models remain unfit for the AI era, CEOs say

A new Gartner report finds that 71% of CEOs say their organization's IT operating model is not fit for the age of AI, while only 24% of CIOs believe their current models can effectively adapt to changing business needs. Gartner recommends CIOs shift from command-and-control IT structures to orchestration-based 'technology operating models' that embed AI agents, distributed decision rights, and governed automation directly into operational processes.
