1. Copy Fail: The Linux vulnerability affecting crypto infrastructure security A recently uncovered security flaw in Linux is drawing concern from cybersecurity specialists, government agencies and the cryptocurrency sector. Codenamed “Copy Fail,” the vulnerability affects many popular Linux distributions released since 2017. Under specific circumstances, the flaw could let attackers escalate privileges and gain full root control of affected machines. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added the issue to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, highlighting the serious threat it poses to organizations worldwide. For the crypto industry, the implications go well beyond a standard software bug. Linux powers much of the underlying infrastructure for exchanges, blockchain validators, custody solutions and node operations. As a result, an operati

Passing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, also known as CLARITY, will help to reshore the crypto industry in the United States, according to Bill Hughes, the senior counsel and director of global regulatory matters at Consensys, a crypto infrastructure company. “The US dollar is the world’s largest fiat on-ramp for cryptocurrency, accounting for over $2.4 trillion in volume between July 2024 and June 2025,” Hughes said. However, the vast majority of crypto trading volume takes place on exchanges based outside of the United States, Hughes said, adding that Binance alone accounted for over 38% of all centralized exchange trading volume in December 2025. Coinbase was the only US-based exchange out of the 10 listed on Coingecko’s top 10 centralized exchanges report for 2025, and it only had a 6.1% market share.

After Canonical's announcement earlier this week that it's bringing AI features to Ubuntu, replies included requests for an AI "kill switch" or a way to disable the upcoming features, and comparisons to Microsoft's addition of AI features into Windows 11. Canonical's VP of engineering, Jon Seager, responded on Tuesday, stating that Canonical isn't planning to add a "global AI kill switch," but users will be …

One of the most popular Linux distributions is about to get an influx of AI features. As reported by Phoronix, Jon Seager, VP of engineering at Ubuntu developer Canonical, shared a blog post on Monday detailing plans to add AI features to the Linux distro over the next year. As the post states, the AI features "will come in two forms: first as a means of enhancing existing OS functionality with AI models in the background, and latterly in the form of 'AI native' features and workflows for those who want them."
These features will range from accessibility tools like improved speech-to-text and text-to-speech to agentic AI features for tasks …

Visual Studio Code 1.115, the latest release of the Microsoft’s extensible code editor, previews a companion app called Visual Studio Code Agents, optimized for agent-native development. Additionally, the agent experience in the editor is improved for running terminal commands in the background, according to Microsoft.
Introduced April 8, Visual Studio Code 1.115 can be downloaded from the Visual Studio Code website for Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Available as a Visual Code Insiders early access capability, the VS Code Agents app allows developers to run agentic tasks across projects, by kicking off multiple agent sessions across multiple repos in parallel. Developers can track session progress, view diffs inline, leave feedback for agents, and create pull requests without leaving the app, Microsoft said. Additionally, custom instructions, prompt files, custom agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, hooks, and plugins all work in the Agents app, along with VS Code customizations suc
