💥 Vercel confirms breach as hackers claim to be selling stolen data LINK
  • Vercel, the cloud development platform behind Next.js, has confirmed a security breach after a hacker claiming to be "ShinyHunters" posted on a forum offering stolen company data for sale.
  • The threat actor claims to be selling access keys, source code, database data, API keys, and NPM and GitHub tokens, along with a file containing 580 employee records from Vercel.
  • The attacker says they demanded a $2 million ransom from Vercel, though actual ShinyHunters members have denied involvement, and BleepingComputer has not confirmed the data is authentic.
🚀 Blue Origin lands New Glenn but drops satellite into wrong orbit LINK
  • Blue Origin successfully landed and reused a New Glenn booster for the first time on Sunday, but the rocket's upper stage placed AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite into an orbit too low to operate.
  • The satellite powered on after separation but will need to be de-orbited and burn up in Earth's atmosphere, with AST SpaceMobile saying insurance covers the loss and more BlueBirds are coming soon.
  • This marks New Glenn's first major failure and could affect Blue Origin's push to become a key NASA Artemis launch provider, especially as the company plans to launch its lunar lander this year.
🔒 NSA is reportedly using Anthropic's Mythos LINK
  • The NSA is reportedly running Anthropic's restricted Mythos Preview model for operational work, even as its parent organization, the Defense Department, has labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk and told contractors to avoid the company.
  • The NSA is believed to be among roughly 40 unnamed organizations granted Mythos access beyond the 12 public Project Glasswing launch partners like Microsoft, Google, CrowdStrike, and Amazon Web Services.
  • The exact way the NSA is using Mythos remains unclear, but other organizations with access are mainly using the model to scan their own environments for exploitable software vulnerabilities.
⌚ Google's screen-less Whoop rival is Fitbit Air LINK
  • Google's upcoming screen-less health band, already teased by basketball player Stephen Curry at the end of March, will officially be called the "Google Fitbit Air."
  • The "Fitbit Premium" subscription service that unlocks AI features is being rebranded as "Google Health," tying health and wellness more closely to the core Google brand.
  • The "personal health coach" currently in public preview will be renamed "Google Health Coach," and an official announcement about the new product is expected in the coming weeks.
🎵 Deezer says 44% of daily uploads are AI-generated songs LINK
  • Deezer reported that AI-generated songs now make up 44% of all new music uploaded daily to its platform, with nearly 75,000 AI tracks arriving each day and over two million per month.
  • Despite the flood of uploads, AI-generated music accounts for only 1-3% of total streams on Deezer, and the company says 85% of those streams are detected as fraudulent and demonetized.
  • Deezer removes AI-tagged tracks from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, and announced it will no longer store hi-res versions of AI songs as daily upload numbers continue to rise.
📱 Apple hints at redesigned Siri in WWDC 2026 logo LINK
  • Apple's WWDC 2026 logo appears to tease a redesigned look for Siri, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says the glowing visual style in the event branding reflects changes being tested internally.
  • Gurman's sources describe a revamp where Siri shows a "Search or Ask" prompt inside the Dynamic Island pill, paired with a glowing cursor that matches the bright style seen in WWDC graphics.
  • The glow effect in the branding resembles a photography phenomenon called halation, where overexposed white details bleed color into darker areas — a look some iPhone photographers actively seek out.
