OpenAI pauses new $200 Pro subscriptions as demand for GPT-6 Astra strains capacity

OpenAI has temporarily paused new subscriptions to its $200 Pro plan because demand for GPT-6 Astra is placing exceptional pressure on capacity. The pause affects new sign-ups rather than existing accounts, while other plans and API access remain available as OpenAI works to expand capacity.

OpenAI’s Agents API brings Codex-style automation to production

OpenAI has released the Agents API in public beta, giving developers a way to build long-running AI agents with the same harness and infrastructure used by Codex. The API can manage context, tools, files, code execution, and parallel subagents while allowing each workload to run in an OpenAI sandbox, a developer’s own infrastructure, or a partner environment.

Microsoft cloud web applications threat matrix explained

Microsoft published the Cloud Web Applications Threat Matrix. It maps attack techniques against cloud-hosted web applications and serverless platforms using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a public catalog of attacker tactics and techniques. The matrix covers services such as Azure App Service, AWS Lambda, and Google Cloud Run. It follows earlier Microsoft matrices for Kubernetes and cloud storage. If you manage Azure subscriptions or review cloud deployments, the matrix gives you a structured checklist for visibility, hardening, and incident response gaps.

Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS released with Linux kernel 7.0

GIMP 3.2.6 gets faster font loading, Wacom barrel rotation input

GIMP 3.2.6 has arrived, a new maintenance update in the 3.2.x series that made a splash earlier this year. You won’t find any major new features, but plenty of improvements – not least in font handling. GIMP say font loading is faster, with start-up times, Text tool typing and closing large font lists all nippier when lots of fonts are installed. The team note “some lag remains”, and solving that would require a GTK4 port – for which some initial prep has begun. On the editing side, Cut now works on layer groups; Color Picker can picks up filters applied […]

‍MikroTrick: критические уязвимости MikroTik RouterOS уже используются в реальных атаках

Исследователи CERT Polska раскрыли шесть уязвимостей в MikroTik RouterOS, две из которых объединяются в цепочку, получившую название MikroTrick. По данным исследователей, цепочка позволяет без аутентификации получить полный административный контроль над маршрутизатором, если его SSH-сервис доступен из недоверенной сети. CERT Polska уже подтвердила эксплуатацию MikroTrick в реальных атаках, наблюдавшихся как минимум со 2 сентября 2026 года.
MikroTik выпустила исправления 3 сентября и обозначила обновление как важное security update. Исправленные версии — RouterOS 6.49.21, 7.23.4, 7.24.2 и 7.25beta3. Производитель рекомендует обновиться всем пользователям, хотя подчёркивает, что большинство стандартных конфигураций непосредственно атаке не подвержено: в конфигурации RouterOS по умолчанию доступ к SSH со стороны интернета блокируется firewall.

📰 AI Made A Lot Of "Hideous" Code But Found Major Bottlenecks For Faster Linux Compilation

An ARM Linux engineer leveraged AI/LLMs to help uncover some improvements to "significant speed up" the Linux kernel build times. In the process the LLM used generated "a lot of code, much of it hideous" but in the end was used to find some very significant time savings for faster kernel builds via more task parallelization in different areas of the kernel build process...
