Details remain thin: the severity, affected systems, and whether Meta has been notified or issued a fix are not yet confirmed. Cybersecurity watchers are circulating the claim, and users are advised to be cautious until Meta responds.

Volcanic eruptions are making headlines across several regions. Ecuador's Sangay volcano has triggered ash advisories, while Russia's Sheveluch sent an ash cloud up to 38,000 feet (11,600 metres). In Ethiopia, an eruption has alarmed local populations, with NISAR and Sentinel-1 satellites mapping hidden magma and shifting faults to track the event. Monitoring services continue to issue warnings as activity persists.

The announcement was carried by WVU Medicine itself and regional outlet WV News. Details on the hospitals' locations and what the expansion means for patients and staff have not been widely reported yet.

AI tools are increasingly effective at discovering software vulnerabilities, but security experts warn that open source projects still lack the human maintainers needed to review, triage and fix the growing volume of reported flaws. Infosecurity Magazine highlights the widening gap between machine-generated bug reports and the limited developer capacity available to address them across widely used open source components.

RTVE's talk show 'La Revuelta' recorded its worst audience figures on Thursday, prompting the public broadcaster to take action. According to Espinof, RTVE is turning to a formula that rival show 'El Hormiguero' has used successfully for years, as it tries to reverse the programme's declining viewership.

NASA has opened applications for the next class of flight directors, the people who lead mission control teams during human spaceflight operations at the Johnson Space Center. The announcement invites candidates from engineering, science and aviation backgrounds to apply for one of the most senior operational roles in the space agency.

A draft EU law known as the KIDS Act is generating wide discussion, with commentators pointing to an article by Stefan Wintermeyer published on Heise Online. The debate touches on the technical limits of proposed protections, with one argument being that no network protocol can prevent someone from simply photographing a screen with a second device. Critics are weighing whether the legislation can achieve its stated child-safety goals.

Legit Security has launched an agentic remediation capability that automatically fixes vulnerabilities found in open-source dependencies. The announcement was picked up by multiple technology outlets including TechCrunch, Hackread and DevOps.com, reflecting interest in using AI agents to automate patching of software supply chain risks rather than leaving fixes to manual developer work.

The body of a 34-year-old man from Weert has been found in a house, with authorities describing the death as a 'fatal accident'. The discovery is drawing attention in the Netherlands, with people searching for details about what happened and whether the circumstances are fully understood. No further details about the man's identity or the exact cause of death have been made public so far.

AI video company Tavus has introduced Griffin, a conversational video model it says is realistic enough to pass a video Turing test. The announcement is drawing attention to how closely AI-generated humans now resemble real people on camera, and to what that means for trust in video, digital identity and online deception.

A study published in Nature examined how genetic vulnerability and physical activity interact in relation to major depressive disorder, using data from the All of Us Research Program, a large US biomedical database. The findings add to ongoing discussion about how lifestyle factors such as exercise may influence depression risk in people with genetic predisposition.

Torey Lovullo will remain manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks after agreeing to a new two-year contract, the team announced. The deal keeps the longtime skipper at the helm in Phoenix, and baseball fans are weighing in on whether the extension is the right call following the club's recent seasons.

GitHub has announced rate limits for private vulnerability reporting, capping how many security reports a user can open within a given period. The change aims to curb spam and abuse of the private vulnerability reporting feature while ensuring legitimate security researchers can still disclose issues responsibly. Developers and security researchers are weighing in on how the limits might affect coordinated disclosure workflows.

AI tools are uncovering software vulnerabilities faster than the open source community can address them, according to reporting by Infosecurity Magazine. While automated discovery has scaled up sharply, the number of maintainers available to review, patch and ship fixes has not kept pace, leaving a growing backlog of security flaws in widely used open source projects.

A critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-103922, with a CVSS score of 9.3, has been disclosed in Capacitor, the Ionic framework package with around 5.5 million weekly downloads used to build Android and iOS apps. Security researchers urge developers to update to a patched release immediately, warning that affected apps could be at serious risk until remediated.

Imagination Technologies is promoting its open-source Vulkan graphics driver work and outlining plans tied to its Volcanic GPU architecture. The company's engagement with open-source driver development is being covered on Linux and graphics software news outlets, drawing interest from developers watching GPU vendor support for open drivers expand beyond AMD, Intel and Arm Mali.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added a vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiMail to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, confirming the flaw is being actively abused in attacks. Inclusion requires federal civilian agencies to patch by the mandated deadline, and organizations running FortiMail are urged to update immediately.

CBS News reports that open-weight AI models, whose underlying parameters are publicly released, may be more vulnerable to manipulation and can operate without meaningful oversight. Because anyone can download and modify them, safety guardrails built into closed systems may be easier to strip away, raising concerns about misuse and accountability as open models spread.

Caltrans has published its 2026 Climate Change Vulnerability Risk Assessment along with a new sea level rise guide, outlining how California's transportation infrastructure may be affected by climate change and rising seas. The documents are intended to help planners identify at-risk roads, bridges and highways and guide adaptation and resilience efforts across the state's transport network.

Legit Security has expanded its platform to automatically remediate vulnerabilities found in open-source dependencies, not just detect them. The move reflects a wider push in application security to shorten the gap between identifying a risky software library and patching it, easing the burden on developers who otherwise fix such issues by hand.

Security publication Dark Reading argues that vulnerability backlogs persist in organisations not because of tooling limits but because of unclear ownership. When no one is accountable for remediating a flaw, tickets stall and risk accumulates. The piece calls for assigning clear responsibility across security, development and operations teams so known vulnerabilities actually get fixed.

Italy has stated that the European Union's naval mission in the Red Sea remains insufficient, according to a Reuters report circulating widely in Italian media. The mission, aimed at protecting commercial shipping from attacks in the region, is judged by Rome to fall short of what is needed to secure one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
