Cisco Builds Nexus Switch for Intel AI Chips; TeraWave Promises 6Tbps from Space

Описание: Take a Network Break! We start with a Red Alert in Oracle's WebLogic Server Proxy Plugin for Apache or IIS, which has a severity score of 10.
In the news, Fortinet warns that attackers have found a new exploit path against previously-patched vulnerabilities, Microsoft 365 services suffered an outage, and ServiceNow inks a deal with OpenAI with the goal to develop speech-based AI agents.
Cisco builds a Nexus switch to support AI compute fabrics running Intel's Gaudi 3 AI accelerators, Curl kills its bug bounty program over AI slop, and Intel loses hundreds of millions of dollars in fiscal year 2025 (which is still an improvement over 2024).
Blue Origin promises enterprise-grade satellite broadband services (sometime in 2027), OpenCosmos gets test satellites in orbit for yet another consumer broadband offering, and a Japanese toilet maker enjoys a profitable side-hustle making ceramics for chip manufacturing.
