Microsoft fixes severe VS Code vulnerability enabling GitHub token theft

Microsoft has announced Coreutils, a new Windows 11 feature that allows developers to run many popular Linux command line utilities natively on Windows from a single binary. Revealed at this week’s Build 2026 developer conference in Seattle, Coreutils is about reducing what Microsoft terms the “cognitive load” faced by developers when moving between Windows and other platforms. Currently, accessing the Linux command line utilities that are considered essential in many CI/CD development environments on Windows requires a kludge that involves either opening an emulation such as Git Bash, or a virtualized Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL) terminal. Both are time-consuming and inefficient. As Microsoft’s announcement puts it: “Developers constantly move between platforms, but familiar commands don’t work consistently, forcing workarounds, lost speed and context switching.” Coreutils removes the need for this back and forth, allowing developers to run most Linux commands straight from the Windo

For the past two years, enterprises have focused on grounding AI systems in internal documents, databases and knowledge repositories. Microsoft now contends that the next challenge is giving those systems reliable access to the outside world as they move into production. At its ongoing annual Build conference, Microsoft unveiled Web IQ, a new suite of AI-native APIs designed to connect AI agents and applications to real-time information from across the web, including web pages, news, images and videos. The goal is to help developers build more accurate and context-aware AI systems while reducing the complexity of integrating web search, retrieval and grounding capabilities into enterprise applications, the company wrote in a blog post. The APIs already underpins grounding for Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT, and unlike traditional search APIs are designed to retrieve highly relevant information while minimizing token consumption, helping reduce both inference costs and response latency,

Hedge fund veteran Dan Ives believes one Mag 7 tech stock is undervalued and will soon print massive gains. In a new CNBC interview, Ives says that Microsoft (MSFT) could surge by more than 30% from its current value as he expects artificial intelligence (AI) to start generating revenue for the company after large-scale investments […] The post Wedbush’s Dan Ives Sees 30% Upside for ‘Mispriced’ Mag 7 Stock, Says AI Could Hit Monetization Phase in Coming Months appeared first on The Daily Hodl.

Some of the AI industry's biggest rivals have put their many, many grievances aside for a common cause: making it harder for people to use their technology to develop biological weapons. In an open letter to US lawmakers, tech leaders are pressing Congress to enact rules closing what they say is an alarming biosecurity gap that could help trigger a global pandemic. Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman are among the signatories urging US lawmakers to require companies selling synthetic DNA and RNA - genetic material that can ordered online and assembled in a lab - to screen purchases for sequences t … Read the full story at The Verge.
