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.

The DOJ says it hasn’t ”deleted” any Epstein files. It just took 47,000 of them offline.
That’s the department’s response to a CBS News analysis that counted the pages in the government’s Epstein document release. About 2.7 million pages currently available to the public, below the DOJ’s own initial claim of 3 million. More than 47,000 files comprising roughly 65,500 pages now lead to dead links.
Some of those files had good reasons to come down — one contained unredacted photos of 21 survivors along with most of their birthdates. But others are harder to explain: A fully redacted call log. Images of Epstein’s jail bunk. A photo of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick with Epstein on his private island, restored only after its removal drew attention.

Starting in September, Google’s Chrome browser will receive a new release every two weeks, the company has announced. Since 2021, Chrome has been on a four-week release schedule for new major versions.
The rationale for the faster two-week cycle is to enable faster delivery of performance improvements, bug fixes, security updates, and new features to both users and developers, the company said.
Although updates will be more frequent, each individual update will contain fewer changes; that, according to Google, should reduce the risk of problems and make it easier to troubleshoot any issues after launch.

Sundar Pichai has run Google since 2015 and Alphabet since 2019. In that time, the company’s market value has grown from roughly $535 billion to approximately $3.6 trillion. On Friday, Alphabet’s board decided what that performance is worth going forward: a three-year pay package that could reach $692 million, but only if Pichai actually earns it.
The deal was disclosed in an SEC filing and first reported by the Financial Times. Its structure is telling. The headline figure assumes maximum performance across every component.
