<li><strong>Meta secures massive nuclear power for AI data centers</strong>: Meta has inked deals with Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower to secure over six gigawatts of nuclear power for its data centers, driven by escalating AI workloads. Vistra will provide 2.1 GW immediately from existing Ohio facilities, with an additional 433 MW by the early 2030s. Oklo and TerraPower, both advanced nuclear startups, are slated to deliver 1.2 GW and 2.8 GW respectively by 2030-2032, marking a significant shift towards nuclear energy in the tech sector, as reported by multiple sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1sXfoaLc2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>North Korean hackers exploit QR codes for credential theft</strong>: The FBI attributes malicious QR code spear-phishing campaigns to North Korean state-sponsored hackers (Kimsuky/APT43) targeting U.S. think tanks, academic institutions, and government entities. These ‘quishing’ attacks use fake login pages for Microsoft 365, Okta, or VPNs to harvest credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication via session token theft. The use of QR codes helps attackers bypass traditional enterprise detection tools, as mobile devices often operate outside managed security perimeters. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XmPhFlPf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Google’s AI-powered Gmail overhaul: more features, more subscriptions</strong>: Google is launching an ‘AI-powered’ Gmail overhaul, promising a ‘proactive inbox assistant’ with features like AI Overviews and ‘Help Me Write.’ While conversation summaries will be free, the truly useful stuff like inbox queries and proofreading will require a paid AI Pro or Ultra subscription.
