The messaging app used by at least one top Trump administration official has suspended its services following reports of hackers stealing data from the app. Smarsh, TeleMessage’s parent company, says it is now investigating the incident.“TeleMessage is investigating a potential security incident. Upon detection, we acted quickly to contain it and engaged an external cybersecurity firm to support our investigation,” a Smarsh spokesperson told WIRED in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, all TeleMessage services have been temporarily suspended. All other Smarsh products and services remain fully operational.”President Donald Trump’s now-former national security adviser Mike Waltz was captured…

The newly proposed structure keeps the nonprofit in control, though Monday’s blog post didn’t go into detail about what exactly that will look like. The company specified that its current for-profit subsidiary will become a public benefit corporation (PBC), which is how its competitors Anthropic and xAI are set up. PBCs are legally allowed to prioritize both shareholder and societal interests.“The nonprofit will control and also be a large shareholder of the PBC, giving the nonprofit better resources to support many benefits,” OpenAI’s blog post said. “Our mission remains the same, and the PBC will have the same mission.”Delaware attorney…

Hello WIRED subscribers! Thank you to everyone who attended our most recent AI Unlocked webinar. I really enjoyed our lively discussion about ChatGPT’s software features and wish I could have answered even more of your questions about using generative AI tools.I really enjoyed the questions about what ChatGPT can do beyond just chatting. Image search is a feature I use often, and here are my first impressions of the tool that I recorded back in September 2023 when it first dropped. I use ChatGPT’s image search tool nowadays by snapping a picture with my phone when I don’t recognize something.…

It has been two hours since the divers left the coast behind. As they reach their designated GPS points in the Gulf of Mexico, their boats’ engines go from roaring to whispering. In pairs, they enter the Celestún Fishing Refuge Zone, one of the largest in Mexico. Their ritual is absolute: put on fins, adjust vests and hoses, clean visors, and load oxygen tanks and weights. For the next few minutes, their lives depend on having carefully prepared their dives to this place of hope.They are here seeking to restore fisheries in decline or on the verge of collapse. This…

DevOps professionals these days are managing more servers with more applications than ever before. To handle the increasingly complex tasks, dozens of configuration management (CM) tools, such as Ansible and Puppet, have been introduced. GB Advisors says configuration management is “a vital process,” and C2S Consulting Group says CM “is imperative in the DevOps model to support continuous integration.” CM tools allow an admin to execute tasks on several servers at the same time as well as deploy multiple apps with just one click. But how do you decide which is the best tool for your needs? In this article…

The Lola Blanket isn’t as heavy as other weighted blankets, but I’ve found myself loving its gentle weight at night. I have the large size, which weighs 10 pounds, while the medium is 8 pounds and the small is just 3. These different sizes also have different dimensions along with a different weight, so you can measure to see what size will fit you (or Mom!) best. The weight is still enough to help me relax without feeling too suffocating, and it’ll be a new pick soon in our guide to the Best Weighted Blankets.But the best part is how…

You’ll want to make sure that you have a good level space that can handle the thousands of pounds a full hot tub weighs before you place this thing there: it’s not light, and it absolutely shouldn’t be placed on an unreinforced deck or a raised patio you don’t want sagging into the ground. My location was disused and very nearly level, with pavers over sandy soil that can take the weight. Make sure you investigate this before even considering a hot tub.The only real assembly, apart from making sure you have enough power (either a standard 120V circuit or…

Attention to DetailF1 superfan and Lego ambassador Nicole, who goes by the name GirlBricksALot, concurs. “Down to the spoons for the side view mirrors, the tiles that are used for the camera mount on top, even the cheese slope piece on the front wing—they’re identical,” she says. “Every part of the car is satisfying.”This isn’t Lego’s first Big Build in this space. In 2018, its designers brought that same commitment to authenticity with the drivable 1:1 Lego Bugatti made from Lego Technic elements (that’s Lego’s engineering line with rods, gears, and axles). Last year, McLaren driver Lando Norris took a…
