Both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have reported that Twitter planned to get $100 million in a deal valuing the 3-year-old company at $1 billion — even though it has no meaningful revenue.

Twitter has attracted 54 million users, who use the service to share their thoughts, Web links and other information in messages no longer than 140 characters. Before the most recent round of investment, the San Francisco-based company had already raised $55 million.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced the AI for Everyone project on July 13. Private companies will build the platform around locally developed models, while a separate AI agent will help people navigate government services. It’s a more practical job than generating emails or settling arguments nobody wanted to research themselves.

Russian state-backed hackers have spent more than a decade exploiting a stubborn weakness in critical infrastructure networks. Organizations are still leaving poorly configured and outdated routers exposed to the internet.

In a joint cybersecurity advisory, the NSA, CISA, FBI, and international partners warn that hackers linked to Center 16 of Russia’s Federal Security Service are continuing to target vulnerable networking equipment. Energy, healthcare, and government networks are among the sectors facing the highest risk.
