Every Van Cleef piece ever made is engraved with a unique number, which can be checked against the archives. This allows us to ensure that it's never been modified and that all the original gemstones are still there. Only pieces felt to be 'still wearable today' will enter the ever-evolving collection after authentication.
Two men pleaded guilty last week to federal charges stemming from a 15-year operation that prosecutors said bartered fake baseballs and bats purportedly signed by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner and Cy Young.
Let's start with the original problem Historically, npm relied on classic tokens: long-lived, broadly scoped credentials that could persist indefinitely. If stolen, attackers could directly publish malicious versions to the author's packages (no publicly verifiable source code needed). This made npm a prime vector for supply-chain attacks. Over time, numerous real-world incidents demonstrated this point. Shai-Hulud, Sha1-Hulud, and chalk/debug are examples of recent, notable attacks.

But it still contains useful things and can be upgraded to from MySQL 8.4 LTS; the MySQL Configurator automatically does the upgrade without user intervention during MSI installations on Windows. The major changes include: A new Vector datatype is supported in CREATE and ALTER statements. JavaScript Stored Programs, which support JavaScript-based stored programs and functions, has come to MySQL Enterprise Edition. JavaScript Stored Programs can call SQL, and SQL can call them.
As organizations operate across cloud infrastructure, distributed endpoints, and complex supply chains, security has shifted from a collection of point solutions to a question of architecture, trust, and execution speed. This report examines how core areas of cybersecurity are evolving in response to that shift. Across authentication, endpoint security, software supply chain protection, network visibility, and human risk, it explores how defenders are adapting to adversaries that move faster, blend technical and social techniques, and exploit gaps between systems rather than weaknesses in any single control.
The idea of selling used or overstock goods is not new. Secondhand and thrift shopping is as old as commerce itself. What has changed is resale volume and the operational challenges that have emerged. Shops that want to sell used, refurbished, and overstock items should establish repeatable systems for handling sourcing, intake, authentication, grading, and pricing. Repeatable Recommerce Sourcing The initial challenge is consistently finding desirable goods. The aim is predictable systems for procuring products that turn over quickly and profitably.
The auction house said in its promotional material that very little was known of the painting only that a peer of Rubens had made an engraving of it. Later historians described this engraving and, despite having never seen the painting, catalogued its existence. It was bought by a 19th-century French academic painter, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and passed down through his family, according to the auction house.
A CAPTCHA is a reverse Turing test that takes the form of a challenge-response test. For example, if it instructs users to "select all images with stairs," they must pick the stairs out from railings, driveways, and crosswalks. Alternatively, they may be asked to enter the text they see, add the sum of dice faces, or complete a sliding puzzle.
Microsoft will introduce a new Content Security Policy for Microsoft Entra ID in October 2026. The measure is intended to prevent cross-site scripting. Microsoft advises organizations not to use browser extensions or tools that inject code into the Entra ID sign-in experience. If you follow this recommendation, you don't need to do anything. The experience will remain unchanged. Do you use tools that inject code? Then you will need to switch to alternatives.
A French auction house is selling a work by Picasso that has not been seen in public for more than 80 years. Buste de femme au chapeau à fleurs (Dora Maar) [Bust of a Woman in a Flowery Hat], which depicts the artist's lover Dora Maar, goes under the hammer at the Drouot salesroom in Paris on 24 October. The work, which has been in a private collection since 1944, has an estimate of €8m.
Zoom's vision of filling meetings with AI clones has nearly arrived. On Wednesday, the video conferencing app announced that you'll soon be able to create a "photorealistic" avatar of yourself in case you aren't "camera-ready." That means your AI avatar can appear polished if you've just crawled out of bed. Zoom plans on launching this feature to Workplace users in December, allowing you to generate an AI lookalike based on a photo of yourself that you upload or capture directly in the app.
Scalekit 's authentication stack, purpose-built for agentic apps, is tailored for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing security teams to easily add an OAuth 2.1 authorization server. According to the startup, its solution enables developers to rapidly add an encrypted token vault, along with a tool-calling layer, so that AI agents can act on a user's behalf in popular services such as Gmail, HubSpot, Notion, and Slack.
One of the most notable updates in this version is the new authentication protocol. It as explained separates the roles of the authentication server and the resource server, making it easier to integrate with widely used standards such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. It is stated that the goal is to improve both flexibility and security when managing access to external resources.
I remember needing an organization feature. It's a very common use case for most SaaS applications, but it wasn't available from these providers. So I had to build it from scratch.
