An Arlington-based venture capital firm has announced it will pour $32 million in funding into cybersecurity startups.
Runtime Ventures, based out of Arlington and Austin, Texas, officially announced the capital commitment today (Wednesday).
It has already made 11 investments from the fund so far, supporting seed-stage cybersecurity companies focused on domains including code analysis, fraud protection, threat detection and browser security.
The bill will allow Japan to implement safeguards and strategies that have been in use by other countries for some time.
When your social media account starts spewing out nonsensical or threatening status updates, it’s safe to assume that it has been hacked and must be shut down.
The cells in our body also update their “status” by presenting to their environment small proteins that are constantly being produced inside the cell. Our immune system monitors these statuses and destroys cells that produce unusual proteins. A classic example of this is when a cell is infected by a virus and presents parts of the viral proteins on its surface, which allows the immune system to recognize them and destroy the cell.
In contrast, cancer cells often evade detection by displaying very few suspicious proteins that the immune system can identify and target. A new approach to cancer treatment, developed by researchers from Prof. Yardena Samuels’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science, increases the number of the immune system’s targets by disrupting protein production in cancerous cells.

Sam’s Club, an American warehouse supermarket chain owned by U.S. retail giant Walmart, is investigating claims of a Clop ransomware breach.
The Walmart division operates over 600 warehouse clubs with millions of members across the United States and Puerto Rico and almost 200 additional locations in Mexico and China.
Sam’s Club has over 2.3 million employees and reported a total revenue of $84.3 billion for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023.
A phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform named ‘Lucid’ has been targeting 169 entities in 88 countries using well-crafted messages sent on iMessage (iOS) and RCS (Android).
Lucid, which has been operated by Chinese cybercriminals known as the ‘XinXin group’ since mid-2023, is sold to other threat actors via a subscription-based model that gives them access to over 1,000 phishing domains, tailored auto-generated phishing sites, and pro-grade spamming tools.
Prodaft researchers note that XinXin has also been using the Darcula v3 platform for its operations, which indicates a potential connection between the two PhaaS platforms.
A quantum machine has used entangled qubits to generate a number certified as truly random for the first time, demonstrating a handy function that’s physically beyond even the most powerful supercomputer.
Researchers from the US and UK repurposed existing quantum supremacy experiments on Quantinuum’s 56-qubit computer to roll God’s dice. The result was a number so random, no amount of physics could have predicted it.
Quantum technology is becoming critical for secure electronic communication as cybersecurity threats increase.
