According to the Netherlands National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NL), attackers are exploiting a serious authentication vulnerability CVE-2026-65400 in the macOS screen sharing feature to target Mac devices exposed to the internet. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, allowing attackers to bypass authentication and gain system root access without valid credentials.NCSC-NL stated that multiple reports of active exploitation have been received, with the affected devices' port 5900 being directly accessible from the internet. In the currently confirmed cases, attackers have successfully obtained root access and deployed Monero (XMR) mining programs on the infected Mac devices. Apple has recently patched the vulnerability through macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Sequoia 15.7.9, and Sonoma 14.8.9. Security Affairs reminds users who have screen sharing enabled and have not yet updated their systems to complete the upgrade as soon as possible; if updating is temporarily not possible, they should disable the screen sharing feature to avoid exposing port 5900 to the internet.

The founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, proposed the concept of the "Digital Assets Monetary Spectrum," categorizing different types of digital assets based on volatility, potential returns, and trading functions.Saylor stated that the digital asset system can be divided into four levels: Bitcoin (BTC): Digital Capital (Digital Capital) STRC: Digital Credit (Digital Credit) SR-strcUSX: Digital Money (Digital Money) USDT: Digital Currency (Digital Currency).He believes that from left to right, asset volatility and potential returns gradually decrease, while stability and trading utility continuously increase. Saylor stated that Bitcoin is the "ultimate value storage asset," possessing high volatility, high potential returns, and the attributes of a digital asset that does not require third-party credit endorsement; whereas stablecoins are the "ultimate medium of exchange," emphasizing stability and payment functionality. In between the two, digital credit and digital currency serve as a bridge connecting capital and currency. Among them, STRC is defined by Saylor as "digital credit," characterized by relative stability, high fixed returns, and certain value storage attributes.He further stated that digital currency combines digital currency technology with digital capital economic attributes, possessing stability, earning capacity, trading convenience, and value storage functions. Saylor noted that digital capital belongs to bearer assets, while assets such as digital credit, digital currency, and digital cash are created and managed by digital financial companies, with their ownership layer corresponding to "Digital Equity." These components together form the future "Digital Finance Stack."

The Trump administration will revise the new artificial intelligence guidelines to expand regulation of AI models. The White House has developed a set of AI frameworks that require U.S. laboratories to undergo safety testing by the federal government before public release. In the coming months, this framework is expected to cover open-source models, which will be included in testing once their capabilities reach the same level as Anthropic's Mythos-level models and OpenAI's GPT-5.6.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple is testing memory chips from the Chinese DRAM manufacturer Changxin Storage (CXMT), planning to apply them to product lines such as the iPhone and MacBook. The background of this move is the AI demand driving up global memory prices; Apple has previously lobbied the U.S. side, stating that the current pricing from Korean and American suppliers is "unsustainable." The report states that Apple is seeking approval from the White House to conduct business with Chinese chip suppliers. Currently, the U.S. allows the purchase of commercial off-the-shelf chips but restricts customized products.Changxin Storage has recently rapidly expanded its market share, with second-quarter revenue growing more than 8 times year-on-year, and its global DRAM market share rising to 7%, completing its IPO on the Science and Technology Innovation Board last month. Meanwhile, PC manufacturers such as HP and Acer have begun using Changxin Storage memory chips in some devices sold in non-U.S. markets to alleviate supply pressure. If Apple ultimately reaches a procurement agreement, it may face political resistance from Washington.

According to the Financial Times, as Chinese companies continue to narrow the gap with the top AI labs in the United States, ByteDance is training an AI model that may be close in scale to Anthropic's advanced Mythos system. According to three insiders, this Chinese tech giant is currently in the early stages of training a large-scale model, which may have a parameter count reaching the trillions, approximately three times that of the largest model released in China, the Kimi K3 model under the Moonlight brand.One insider stated that ByteDance's model is currently undergoing pre-training, a phase that typically takes three to six months. If all goes well, it will then undergo fine-tuning and be released. The specific scale of the model will be determined later. Anthropic has not publicly disclosed the parameter scale of its models, but industry estimates suggest that its advanced Mythos 5 model has a parameter count of about 8 trillion, while Fable 5 has around 5 trillion.It is important to note that the number of parameters determines the model's basic capacity for storing information or memory limit, but the actual capabilities of the model also depend on other factors, including data quality and training methods.

According to the American media MS NOW, two Middle Eastern diplomats familiar with the negotiations stated that Oman has agreed to reach a framework agreement with Iran to temporarily reopen the Strait of Hormuz. An Iranian government official said that the agreement will establish a new shipping route by allowing commercial vessels to enter the Persian Gulf via Iranian-controlled routes and exit via Omani-controlled routes. The agreement does not include charging tolls for commercial vessels seeking safe passage through the waterway. This proposal is a "temporary agreement" that will lay the groundwork for Washington and Tehran to announce a new ceasefire and restart nuclear negotiations.According to Iranian officials, the United Nations International Maritime Organization and the United States will participate in the formal announcement of the agreement. A government official from a Gulf country stated that the arrangement has been recognized by the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Officials have not disclosed when the agreement will be announced. However, whether the United States will support the management agreement for the strait will depend on the final details. An American official stated that Washington only supports a temporary agreement to reopen the strait on the premise of no tolls and unobstructed passage.

According to a report by LatePost, ByteDance is discussing training a model with a parameter scale exceeding 50 trillion, surpassing Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Max (24 trillion parameters) and the K3 from Dark Moon (28 trillion parameters), making it currently the largest known model in terms of parameter scale in the country. Generally speaking, the larger the model scale, the higher the level of intelligence.However, this plan is still in the early stages and does not guarantee that the model will ultimately be released. The new model will be led by Xiang Liang, head of SeedFoundation, in collaboration with Shen Ke, who is responsible for the pre-training data of large language models. To this end, Seed is reorganizing, defining responsibilities, and allocating resources.
