macOS clipboard app Maccy has a fake out there stealing passwords
PamStealer malware is disguising itself as Maccy to target Mac users
Depicting of the Maccy clipboard app for macOS on a laptop with letters inb the background.

A fake version of Maccy, a popular clipboard manager for macOS, is being used to deliver a newly discovered Mac malware strain called PamStealer. Researchers at Jamf say the malware impersonates the real open-source app, but its actual purpose is to steal data and capture a victim’s login password.

PamStealer arrives as a disk image containing an AppleScript file that impersonates Maccy. Once the user opens that file, macOS launches it in Script Editor, where the on-screen instructions tell them to press Command-R. To someone expecting a normal app installer, that may look like an odd setup step. In reality, that action runs hidden malware code and starts the attack.

A new technology teaching drones to feel pain could stop your self-driving car from harming itself
Drones first, autonomous cars next. A pain-sensing system that detects failure before it happens has real stakes for self-driving vehicles.

When you sprain your ankle in the middle of a run, your body sends a pain signal to your brain, forcing you to stop. Essentially, the ability to sense pain stops you from pushing through the injury and causing further self-harm.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology and Wageningen University have applied this exact concept to drones, giving them a digital equivalent of a nervous system that recognizes a faulty part and triggers a pain-like warning signal. What's even more interesting is that the technology could find use in self-driving cars.

Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 Official Render

Anthropic’s most advanced publicly available Claude model is still leaving standard subscription access after July 7, but the company is now trying to calm fears that the move is permanent.

Fable 5 recently returned to Claude after drawing scrutiny from the U.S. government. Anthropic said it would be included on Pro, Max, Team, and select Enterprise plans for up to 50% of weekly usage limits through July 7. After that date, the model is set to move to usage-credit billing, meaning users will pay for access outside their regular plan limits.
