In today’s fast-paced world of software development, artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in simplifying workflows, speeding up coding tasks, and ensuring quality. But despite its promise, efficient AI-driven code generation remains elusive. Many models struggle to deliver quick responses, support a wide range of programming languages, or handle specialized tasks like fill-in-the-middle (FIM) code editing and automated test generation. These shortcomings often slow down projects, especially for teams working on real-time applications where speed and precision are essential. Mistral AI has introduced Codestral 25.01, a coding model designed to tackle these challenges head-on. Lightweight and highly efficient, Codestral 25.01…

The attacker leverages AWS’s Server-Side Encryption with Customer Provided Keys (SSE-C) to encrypt data, demanding ransom payments if the victim firm wants the symmetric AES-256 keys required for decryption. While SSE-C has been available since 2014, say the researchers, this appears to be a novel use of the feature by ransomware operators. To pressure victims, the encrypted files are marked for deletion within seven days. The report doesn’t detail how the stolen AWS keys are obtained. But in response to emailed questions, Halcyon said keys can be exposed in a variety of ways, including through compromised IT networks and phishing.…

While theories have abounded in the years since the rocker was found dead in 1971, Andy gave a simple explanation for his brother’s death. “His lifestyle [killed him].

In a setback for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, one of Britain’s biggest supermarkets has publicly thrown its support behind farmers opposed to the Government’s planned inheritance tax (IHT) reforms. Sophie Throup, head of agriculture at Morrisons, posted a video message on X (formerly Twitter) declaring the retailer’s solidarity with farming communities, who are preparing to protest nationwide on Friday over what they call a “devastating” tax raid on family farms. The new levy, which comes into force in April 2026, will impose a 20 per cent inheritance tax on farming estates valued over £1 million. Although this is half…
