Malicious VS Code Extensions Take Screenshots, Steal Info
Developers were the targets of two new malicious Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions created by a threat actor that security researchers believe is experimenting with methods for delivering information-stealing malware to the victims’ systems. The malicious extensions come posing as a harmless “premium dark theme” and an AI-powered coding assistant, but both – […]
Rethinking Software Architecture for the Next Generation of User Interfaces
The next wave of user interfaces demands a complete rethinking of software architecture. For decades, digital products have relied on menus, checkboxes, search bars, and forms. These elements worked, but they were never designed around how people naturally think, speak, or interact. In 2025, clinging to them feels like printing paper maps for directions or […]
Designing for Failure: 4 Resilience Practices That Make Outages Boring
Last winter, my city Richmond VA suffered water distribution outages for days after a blizzard. Not because of one big failure, but because backup pumps failed, sensors misread, alerts got buried, and then another pump died during recovery. The whole city ended up under a boil‑water advisory. Sound familiar? Replace “water pumps” with “microservices” and […]
Why Privacy-Safe Logging Remains One of the Hardest Problems in DevOps
As cloud-native architectures scale and regulatory pressure intensifies, organizations are finally recognizing that their logging pipelines contain sensitive. Logs fuel observability, debugging, compliance investigations, and incident response, yet they also remain one of the least governed data streams in the enterprise. Despite years of progress in DevSecOps, true privacy-safe logging, logs that remain operationally useful […]
Black Duck Adds AI Tool to Analyze and Fix Code in Real Time
Black Duck today added a tool for analyzing and remediating code that is directly integrated into artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools. Company CEO Jason Schmitt said Black Duck Signal makes it possible to discover issues as application developers increasingly rely on AI coding tools to generate more code faster, which paradoxically also typically contains more […]
Multi-Agent System Promises Faster Bug Detection and Resolution
IT outages cost companies over $14,000 per minute. IBM Research’s Project ALICE uses multiple AI agents to help engineers find bugs faster and restore systems. Software bugs are expensive. When a critical system goes down, every minute of downtime costs revenue, frustrates customers, and strains engineering teams scrambling to find the problem. The challenge isn’t […]
