A mass hacking campaign targeting iPhone users in Ukraine and China used tools that were likely designed by U.S. military contractor L3Harris, TechCrunch has learned. The tools, which were intended for Western spies, wound up in the hands of various hacking groups, including Russian government spooks and Chinese cybercriminals. Last week, Google revealed that over the course of 2025 it discovered that a sophisticated iPhone-hacking toolkit had been used in a series of global attacks. The toolkit, dubbed “Coruna” by its original developer, was made of 23 different components first used “in highly targeted operations” by an unnamed government customer…

My life is full of screens. Most of my screen time comes from the typical tech trifecta: my phone, laptop, and television. But it creeps in from elsewhere: If I want to queue up a song in my car, I do it on the infotainment system. Going somewhere? I’ll plug the address into my GPS, and if that doesn’t work, Waze and Google Maps are back up. Even things that used to require a brief in-person conversation with a human being—signing in at the doctor’s office or ordering a coffee—require tapping, swiping, and scanning.My kitchen, once a retreat from all…

The uniform is a concept that gets talked about a lot; at Nanushka, it manifests in structured outerwear with cheek-grazing collars, impeccably draped dresses, sculptural tailoring and waists softly cinched. For fall 2026, designer Sandra Sandor unspooled all of that, casting Nanushka signatures in a delicate, dappled new light.Sandor started with preppy wardrobe elements—regatta-ready blazers, evening shirts, Argyle knits—and let them breathe a bit. Hems curved and cuffs were elongated. A sharp herringbone suit featured an elasticated waist. Twisting up Nanushka’s minimalist codes of tailoring, a lampshade bodice appeared several times: on a bodice with hip-grazing fringe, jersey T-shirts, and…

Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund is nearing the close of its fourth growth fund, Founders Fund Growth IV, with $6 billion in capital commitments, per sources close to the firm. As with most of the firm’s fundraises, demand from outside investors exceeds the fund’s capacity, according to those sources. Additionally, about $1.5 billion of the capital is coming from the Founders Fund’s partners, one of the sources told TechCrunch. The fresh fundraise comes less than a year after Founders Fund closed its third growth fund, a $4.6 billion vehicle intended primarily for follow-on investments in its successful late-stage companies. The 21-year-old…

People can block the xAI’s Grok chatbot from creating modifications of their uploaded images on social network X. Neither X or xAI, both Elon Musk-owned businesses, have made a public announcement about this feature, which users began noticing on the iOS app within the image/video upload menu over the past few days.This option is likely a response to Grok’s latest scandal, which began at the start of 2026 when the addition of image generation tools to the chatbot saw about 3 million sexualized or nudified images created. An estimated 23,000 of the images made in that 11-day period contained sexualized…

We start by marinating the shrimp, then coat them in a light batter and fry until perfectly crisp. After that, we toss them in our homemade Bang Bang…

Anthropic’s legal fight against the federal government just received support from rival players in the AI game in the form of an amicus curiae brief. Earlier today, Anthropic filed a pair of lawsuits contesting the federal government’s legal authority to brand the AI company a “supply chain risk to national security” and prevent major firms from working with it. The amicus brief filed afterward has 37 signatories—technically called amici because it’s an amicus brief, not a letter—identified as “engineers, researchers, scientists, and other professionals” at Google and OpenAI. Perhaps most notable among those named by Wired is Jeff Dean, who…
