At the center of the incident is a 17.5‑million‑record dataset scraped from Instagram’s APIs in late 2024…

  • Beyond Bond Graphs: How Geometric Deep Learning Is Rewriting the Rules of Molecular Design

    Geometric deep learning is rapidly transforming how scientists design molecules, offering a fundamentally new way to think about drug discovery: not as a 2D graph problem, but as a full 3D geometric learning task grounded in physics and symmetry. By encoding molecules and their interactions as structured geometric objects—graphs in 3D space, surfaces, and manifolds—researchers…

  • The Silent Partner in Penetration Testing: How Organizations Hack Themselves Without Harming Themselves

    Penetration testing delivers the most value when it finds real weaknesses without causing real incidents. The organizations that do this well treat pen testing less like a “hackathon” and more like a planned surgical procedure: carefully scoped, tightly authorized, method‑driven, and continuously monitored.
