TikTok will not introduce end-to-end encryption (E2EE) – the controversial privacy feature used by nearly all its rivals – arguing it makes users less safe.
E2EE means only the sender and recipient of a direct message can view its contents, making it the most secure form of communication available to the general public.
Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and X have embraced it because they say their priority is maximising user privacy.
But critics have said E2EE makes it harder to stop harmful content spreading online, because it means tech firms and law enforcement have no way of viewing any material sent in direct messages.

“Well, it kind of started when I was born,” Steve Wozniak jokes when asked about Apple’s origin. “Steve Jobs wanted a company and he did it, and I was his resource,” Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Jobs nearly five decades ago, adds.
Wozniak also says Apple wasn’t in the business of predicting the future. Instead, it started with a focus of creating something better than the competition.
“We didn’t foresee the future the way it turned out, but we said for today, we’re taking a step forward ahead of others.”

According to Reuters, Anthropic has filed a lawsuit to prevent the Pentagon from adding the company it a national security blocklist. This comes days after the Department of Defense sent a letter to Anthropic confirming the company was labeled a supply chain risk; at the time CEO Dario Amodei had all but guaranteed Anthropic would fight back with legal action.
The lawsuit claims the designation was unlawful and violated first-amendment free speech rights as well as due process. “These actions are unprecedented and unlawful. The Constitution does not allow the government to wield its enormous power to punish a company for its protected speech,” Anthropic said in a statement published by Reuters.

The project applies the term Agent Detection & Response (ADR) to this class of tooling. The name is a deliberate parallel to the endpoint detection and response (EDR) category that has been standard in enterprise security for over a decade.
What Sage does
Sage works through hook systems native to the agent platforms it supports. It intercepts tool calls, including Bash commands, URL fetches, and file writes, in Claude Code, Cursor/VS Code, and OpenClaw.
Each intercepted action passes through several detection layers. URL reputation checking runs cloud-based malware, phishing, and scam detection. Local heuristics use YAML-based threat definitions for dangerous patterns. Package supply-chain checks cover registry existence, file reputation, and age analysis for npm and PyPI packages. Plugin scanning runs at session start and checks other installed plugins for threats.

Cybersecurity researchers have warned of a surge in retaliatory hacktivist activity following the U.S.-Israel coordinated military campaign against Iran, codenamed Epic Fury and Roaring Lion.
”The hacktivist threat in the Middle East is highly lopsided, with two groups, Keymous+ and DieNet, driving nearly 70% of all attack activity between February 28 and March 2,” Radware said in a Tuesday report. The first distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack was launched by Hider Nex (aka Tunisian Maskers Cyber Force) on February 28, 2026.
According to details shared by Orange Cyberdefense, Hider Nex is a shadowy Tunisian hacktivist group that supports pro-Palestinian causes. It leverages a hack-and-leak strategy combining DDoS attacks with data breaches to leak sensitive data and advance its geopolitical agenda. The group emerged in mid-2025.
In all, a total of 149 hacktivist DDoS claims were recorded targeting 110 distinct organizations across 16 countries. The attacks were carried out by 12 different groups, including Keymous+, DieNet, and NoName057(16), which accounted for 74.6% of all activity.
