I’m building FlareDB, a Rust-based streaming database with Apache Beam as programing interfere The latest release, v0.2.0, i launched FlareDbIO, which lets data processing pipelines write results into FlareDB, query them using SQL, and read the results back into another pipeline. The goal is to make processed data persistent and without having to maintain a external serving database

This is an update to our old Trendradar (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45332076)

# What changed * This trend radar focuses on trends in general (not only technological trends as the previous ones) * This trend radar splits individual trends into granular signals, and each signal is based one 3 or more individual sources.

The idea is to provide companies a data-driven scan of the environment (horizon scanning) as a basis. With this basis, they can derive conclusions about the direction of a market.

Although V2, there are still a few issues to fix, especially around self-reporting & PR sources which tend to overrepresent trends. Furthermore, we are planning on expanding it to include a more diverse set of sources (especially patents & GitHub), to catch changes even earlier.

Ironically, AI has made web scraping per se cheaper, but overall it seems that the total costs (as a consequence of complexity and the sheer number of content) have increased.

The hackers staged numerous scripts for reconnaissance and CVE probing, along with brute-force utilities and privilege escalation tools.

The incident occurred in May, when RubyGems maintainers suspended new account registrations due to what appeared like malicious activity.

The post OpenAI Investigates Report Linking AI Agents to RubyGems Attack appeared first on SecurityWeek.

Researchers at Hudson Rock found that cybercriminals hijacked HBO Max’s verified Reddit account and used it to run 108 malicious ads over roughly 48 hours.

The ads used HBO Max’s trusted corporate account to promote fake AI tools, developer software, and macOS utilities, lowering potential victims’ guards.

Some ads directed users to convincing HBO lookalike sites that claimed to offer a native HBO Max app for macOS or a promotional download. But instead of providing an installer, the sites instructed visitors to open Terminal on their Mac or, on Windows, the Run dialog or PowerShell, and paste in a command.

This is the hallmark of a growing social engineering technique known as ClickFix.

ClickFix attacks disguise malicious instructions as a routine technical step, such as fixing an error, completing a CAPTCHA, verifying that you are human, or installing software. A web page may silently copy a command to the clipboard, then guide the victim through pasting and running it, by which they will infect their own device.

Researchers at ADAMnetworks have dubbed the operation behind the HBO Max ads “PasteSwitch.” Its infrastructure appears to tailor the next stage to the visitor’s device and the lure being used.

Observed macOS payloads included MacSync and AMOS infostealers designed to steal browser credentials and profiles, Telegram data, Apple Notes, saved passwords, and cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases.

Windows users could end up with the Amatera infostealer, which runs in memory. The operation has also been linked to cryptocurrency clipboard hijackers, which monitor copied wallet addresses and replace them with an attacker-controlled address before a transaction is sent.

How to stay safe

Reddit admins paused the ads and opened a security investigation after reports came in, but it is important to remain vigilant. Reportedly, ClickFix was responsible for more than half of all malware loader activity in 2025.

One reason for its success is that campaigns continue to add new methods for tricking users and different commands for avoiding detection.

Users of macOS Tahoe 26.4 or later may be warned when pasting text into Terminal, but it doesn’t appear for everyone, so you shouldn’t rely on that alone.

Malwarebytes can provide additional protection at several stages of a ClickFix attack. Browser Guard warns when a website tries to copy something to your clipboard, web protection blocks known malicious sites, and real-time protection can detect malware delivered by the campaign.

With ClickFix running rampant and inventing new methods all the time, it’s important to be aware, careful, and protected:

• Treat ads with caution. A verified account does not guarantee that an ad is safe. Visit the company’s official website directly instead of downloading software through an advertisement.
• Slow down. Don’t rush to follow instructions on a webpage or prompt, especially if it asks you to run commands on your device or copy-paste code. Attackers may use countdowns, user counters, or other pressure tactics to make you act quickly.
• Don’t run commands from untrusted sources. Never run code or commands copied from websites, emails, ads, or messages unless you trust the source and understand what the command does. Check the instructions against official documentation or contact the company’s support team.
• Secure your devices. Use an up-to-date, real-time anti-malware solution with a web protection component. Malwarebytes blocks ember-bridge.com, which is part of the PasteSwitch infrastructure.
  
• Educate yourself on evolving attack techniques. Understanding that attacks may come from unexpected vectors and evolve helps maintain vigilance. Keep reading our blog!

From reporting threats to removing them.
