AI Cyber Threats Surge 89% as Attackers Pivot Strategy

AI-enabled adversary activity has increased by 89% over the last year, according to CrowdStrike’s 2026 Threat Hunting Report.

CrowdStrike also found that AI agent-triggered alerts grew at 2.5 times the rate of human-triggered alerts.

“AI is now a tool, a target and a force multiplier for adversaries,” the report says, having drawn its observations from CrowdStrike OverWatch, which processes more than seven trillion events each day.

Furthermore, the timeframe for exploiting vulnerabilities continues to narrow. Between January and June 2026, 88% of vulnerabilities with publicly available proof of concepts were actively exploited within 48 hours of release.

T-Mobile Deploys Satellite and AI to Keep Hawaii Connected

As Hurricane Lala hit Hawaii over the weekend with 91mph winds before weakening into a tropical storm, T-Mobile deployed a mix of field crews and technology to keep critical communication lines open across the islands.

Before Lala even made landfall on 12 August, T-Mobile staged emergency response teams, portable generators and backup power equipment in key zones.

But as terrestrial cell sites felt the storm’s impact, the company activated its newest frontier in disaster relief: T-Satellite powered by Starlink.

TCS reveals AgentHub for Drug Development

In drug development, the race to bring life-saving therapies to market is often slowed not by science, but by operational overhead.

Highly regulated environments demand absolute auditability, leaving pharmaceutical companies caught between the promise of AI and the strict necessity of regulatory compliance.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) aims to close that gap with TCS ADD AgentHub, a platform designed to deploy specialised agentic AI directly into clinical operations and drug safety functions.

Rather than acting as basic productivity helpers, AgentHub establishes a structured, role-based AI workforce capable of executing complex enterprise tasks alongside human experts.

Amazon Plans 7.65GW Off-Grid Gas Plant for Texas AI

Amazon has confirmed plans to develop a 7.65GW natural gas power plant in Pecos County, Texas, co-located with a large-scale data centre facility at a site called GW Ranch.

The installation would comprise 35 turbines dedicated to powering the company’s data centre operations.

According to the project specifications, the facility would exceed the capacity of the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state, which generates around 6.8GW.

Behind the Clop Cyberattack Breaching Shell, Philips and GE

The Russian-speaking cybercriminal group Clop launched a large-scale exploit, targeting vulnerabilities in enterprise software and breaching nearly 50 organisations.

In doing so, it has added top global companies like Shell, Philips, GE and Fiserv to its list of targets.

The threat actor has allegedly exfiltrated 89GB of data from Shell, 15.5GB from Philips and 391GB from GE, including critical project documents, blueprints and engineering plans.

All of these three companies have confirmed they have opened formal investigations following the claims.
