Cyber attacks surge as Cloudflare scales post‑quantum TLS

Here’s what’s moving on the tech map right now. A major breach hit the HBO Max Reddit account, where attackers pushed ClickFix malware to both Mac and Windows users for two days. At the same time, the Russian group Sandworm is reviving its Cyclops Blink botnet by chaining Cisco flaws. On the defensive side, India’s army opened an offline lab to vet military drones for hidden code and tampered parts, while Cloudflare rolled out a massive post‑quantum TLS upgrade, now handling forty‑five billion quantum‑ready connections a day and slashing handshake retries. In hardware, HP launched two new OmniBook laptops built around NVIDIA’s RTX Spark graphics and hinted at a desktop coming soon. Apple shipped macOS Golden Gate, which only runs on Apple silicon, and Temporal locked in a five‑hundred‑fifty‑million‑dollar Series E at a twelve‑point‑five‑five‑billion valuation. Salesforce broadened its Agentforce AI agents across sales, service, commerce, HR and back‑office tasks. The world’s biggest electric ferry, packing a forty megawatt‑hour battery, docked in Helsinki, and a Chinese state firm reportedly sent forty‑six tons of carbon‑fiber to a sanctioned Russian drone maker. That’s the snapshot for now.
