Security researchers have identified a widespread exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint, affecting at least 400 organizations. The vulnerability, CVE-2025-53770, allows attackers to remotely run malicious code on self-hosted SharePoint servers, granting access to stored files and other systems.

Eye Security first identified the vulnerability, with initial attacks observed as early as July 7. Patches have since been released by Microsoft. Google and Microsoft have linked the attacks to China-backed hacking groups, who denied the allegations.

The exploitation targeted self-hosted versions of SharePoint, allowing attackers to compromise internal documents and systems.

TRIC Robotics, based in California, is tackling pesticide use in strawberry farming with UV-C light and autonomous robots. Strawberries are the most popular berry in the U.S. but also heavily reliant on pesticides.

The company's robots use UV-C light to kill bacteria and pests, treating up to 100 acres. They operate as a service for farmers, replacing traditional spraying methods.

Initially focused on 3D printed robots for SWAT teams, TRIC Robotics pivoted to agriculture in 2020 to have a greater impact. They collaborated with the USDA to commercialize UV light technology for pest control.

TRIC Robotics has raised $5.5 million in seed funding to expand its robot fleet and eventually target other crops. Currently, they work with four major strawberry producers and have nine robots deployed, with three more on the way.

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to unveil his AI Action Plan, focusing on infrastructure, innovation, and global influence. The plan aims to accelerate American AI development by streamlining data center permitting, modernizing the electrical grid, and promoting American AI models worldwide. However, it faces criticism for allegedly prioritizing corporate interests over public safety and for its stance on 'woke' AI. Key points include efforts to combat perceived bias in AI models, address energy needs for data centers, and potentially block state AI laws. The plan has garnered significant input from tech companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta, who seek favorable policies regarding copyright and open AI models.

The AI Action Plan is expected to replace the Biden administration's AI strategy, with Trump repealing Biden's order shortly after his inauguration. Trump's administration has encouraged efforts to accelerate the development and distribution of American AI technology, including supporting data center projects and easing restrictions on AI chip sales. The plan also involves addressing concerns about 'woke' AI, potentially requiring AI companies with federal contracts to ensure neutral and unbiased language in their models.

Despite these efforts, the plan faces opposition from organizations advocating for public interests and raising concerns about the potential consequences of prioritizing corporate interests over safety and security standards.

Amazon has acquired Bee, an AI wearables startup known for its Fitbit-like bracelet and Apple Watch app that record conversations to create reminders and to-do lists. The acquisition signals Amazon's interest in expanding into wearable AI devices, a departure from its voice-controlled home assistants like Echo speakers.

Bee's device, priced at $49.99 with a $19-per-month subscription, aims to provide personal, ambient intelligence. While other companies have struggled in this space, Bee's affordable price point makes it accessible to consumers.

The acquisition raises privacy concerns, as these devices record everything around them. Bee's current policies state that users can delete their data, and audio recordings are not saved or used for AI training. However, it's unclear if these policies will change under Amazon's ownership, given Amazon's past handling of user data from Ring security cameras.

Apple has recently notified over a dozen Iranians about government spyware targeting their iPhones. This information comes from security researchers and digital rights organizations.

Miaan Group and cybersecurity researcher Hamid Kashfi have spoken with Iranians who received these notifications within the last year. Miaan Group's report highlights three instances of government spyware attacks against Iranians, with alerts issued in April.

Amir Rashidi of Miaan Group suggests Iran is likely behind the attacks, though further investigation is needed. Kashfi assisted victims with preliminary forensics but couldn't confirm the specific spyware maker. Many victims were hesitant to continue the investigation due to fear and sensitivity.

Apple has been sending notifications about potential spyware attacks to users globally since 2021 and recommends that victims contact AccessNow for assistance. The company has identified such attacks in over 150 countries but does not disclose specific country names or the total number of affected users.
