Fintech firm Marquis told customers that it plans to seek compensation from its firewall provider after blaming the company for a breach that allowed hackers to steal its customers’ personal and financial data. In a memo shared with customers this week and seen by TechCrunch, Marquis said it believes that its August 2025 ransomware attack happened because the company’s firewall service provider SonicWall had its own data breach that exposed critical security information about its customers’ firewalls. That earlier breach of SonicWall allowed hackers to obtain credentials needed to launch a ransomware attack against Marquis, the memo said. Marquis said its third-party investigation determined that the hackers obtained information about its firewall during the breach at SonicWall, which Marquis claims was used to circumvent its firewall. Marquis confirmed in the communication that it stored a backup of its firewall configuration file in SonicWall’s cloud. The company was “evaluating its options” regarding its firewall provider, including the “recoupment of any expenses spent by Marquis and its customers in responding to the data incident,” according to the memo. When reached for comment, Hanna Grimm, an agency spokesperson representing Marquis, did not address or dispute the company’s recent communication to customers, but reiterated the claim linking its breach with an earlier theft of its firewall configuration. “In September 2025, after the data security incident affected our systems, our firewall service provider, an industry-leading cybersecurity company, publicly disclosed that a threat actor had earlier in the year gained unauthorized access to its cloud backup service,” the statement said. “Marquis had recently begun using this provider’s firewalls to help protect our network,” the statement added. “While the provider initially reported that fewer than 5% of customers were affected, it later clarified in October 2025 that firewall configuration data and creden...

【有線新聞】立法會保安事務委員會上，保安局局長鄧炳強說要繼續警惕外部勢力及「軟對抗」危害國家安全。近期發現有人去烏克蘭當兵，接受軍事訓練，意圖回港後對抗政府。 鄧炳強到立法會匯報工作，指國安風險一直存在，社會上仍有「軟對抗」、「擦邊球」式煽動仇恨，針對宏福苑大火散播假消息，亦要警惕本土恐怖主義及外部勢力。鄧炳強：「中央情報局透過很多宣傳，希望招攬所謂線人，希望煽動別人背叛我們國家，見到這些外部勢力，對於我們香港及國家的風險。近期我們亦發現有人去了烏克蘭做所謂的戰士，我們調查所得，他們有部份目的是希望在當地接受軍事訓練，日後回港後，繼續從事他們對抗政府的工作。」 有議員建議要加強普及國安教育。范駿華：「會否可以跟商界或某些機構合作製作像『黑悟空』般的電子遊戲，令到我們年青人更加有興趣、自發性去玩及學習這些知識。」鄧炳強：「包括黎智英案、羊村案、35+案，我們都其實打算將這些拍成片段可以在媒體播放，讓人知道，用些實例就最清楚。另外剛才意見，關於會否進一步用遊戲機，我覺得這是很好的建議，我們會考量一下。」 有議員就關注近期的「新型碰瓷黨」案件。梁子穎：「以前用人去『碰瓷』，現時多了用車『碰瓷』，這方面如何再有效打擊？」鄧炳強：「其實我們非常關注，我們成立了專隊，亦跟業界開會。我們留意到有些特別的專業人士，可能是律師、醫生，會否有些人宣稱可能那些人特別有關，我們都會針對這些案件作出詳盡調查。」 另外因應大埔宏福苑大火，鄧炳強說大灣區應急救援合作機制會盡快擴展至包括火災，會研究救護車及消防車跨境的法律及裝備標準等問題。

Blue Planet Studio/iStock via Getty Images Activist investor Irenic Capital Management has taken a stake in SPS Commerce ( SPSC ) and wants the supply chain software maker to explore its options, including a sale. The activist has engaged with the board and management, according to a Bloomberg report on Thursday, which cited people familiar with the matter. “We regularly engage with our investors and thoughtfully evaluate all input that advances our shared goal of creating sustainable long-term shareholder value,” the SPS Commerce spokesperson told Bloomberg. The Irenic push comes after fellow activist Anson Funds Management last month disclosed a stake in SPS and wants the company to oust its CEO and put itself up for sale.

(RTTNews) - In a move that signals a strategic shift, Tesla Inc. (TSLA) has announced plans to cease production of its flagship Model S and Model X vehicles. Instead, the company will repurpose its Fremont, California, manufacturing facility to focus on the development and production of Optimus humanoid robots. During Tesla's fourth-quarterearnings call CEO Elon Musk stated that the Model S and Model X will be "retired with an honorable discharge," encouraging interested buyers to place orders soon. The Model S, introduced in 2012, and the Model X, launched in 2015, have seen declining demand as the electric vehicle market has become increasingly competitive, despite recent price cuts. Tesla's growth has been predominantly driven by its lower-priced Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, which accounted for 97% of deliveries in the previous year. This strategic shift comes as the company reported its first annual revenue decline, prompting a pivot towards autonomous driving and robotics technologies. Musk revealed that the Fremont site will house a production line capable of manufacturing up to 1 million Optimus robots annually, with plans to increase hiring to support this new venture. The company's focus on robotics underscores its ambitions to expand beyond the automotive industry and capitalize on emerging technologies.

Last year, Google showed off Genie 3 , an updated version of its AI world model with impressive long-term memory that allowed it to create interactive worlds from a simple text prompt. At the time, Google only provided Genie to a small group of trusted testers. Now, it's available more widely as Project Genie, but only for those paying for Google's most expensive AI subscription. World models are exactly what they sound like—an AI that generates a dynamic environment on the fly. They're not technically 3D worlds, though. World models like Genie 3 create a video that responds to your control inputs, allowing you to explore the simulation as if it were a real virtual world. Genie 3 was a breakthrough in world models because it could remember details of the world it was creating for a much longer time. But in this context, a "long time" is a couple of minutes. Project Genie is essentially a cleaned-up version of Genie 3, which plugs into updated AI models like Nano Banana Pro and Gemini 3. Google has a number of pre-built worlds available in Project Genie, but it's the ability to create new things that makes it interesting. You can provide an image for reference or simply tell Genie what you want from the environment and the character. Read full article Comments

Moussa81/iStock via Getty Images J.P. Morgan launched coverage of the North American gold sector with an Overweight rating and $68 price target for Barrick Mining ( B ) and a Neutral rating with a $248 PT for Agnico Eagle Mines ( AEM ) in the context of both a near- and long-term bullish outlook for gold, supported by central bank buying and U.S. policy uncertainty. JPM's Bennett Moore said he views Agnico Eagle ( AEM ) as the premier player in the space, underpinned by its operational excellence, attractive cost profile, and low-risk regional focus, which comes at a premium, but with the next leg of growth primarily a 2030s story and current valuation relatively full, the analyst said he would wait for a better entry point. On the other hand, Barrick ( B ) offers a world-class reserve base and compelling organic growth nearer term, but with a mixed track record, ongoing management transition and exposure to risky jurisdictions, and its shares trade at a greater discount to global peers vs. historical levels but with potential idiosyncratic catalysts on the horizon, including a Loulo-Gounkoto restart or sale and a Fourmile resource update. Barrick ( B ) and Agnico Eagle ( AEM ) rose earlier Thursday to multiyear highs of $54.69 and $225, respectively, but have since pulled back, now -2.4% and -4.6% as gold futures retreated from a record above $5,500/oz.

The AI boom still has a lot of room to run. Investors didn't seem to know what to think about ASML's (ASML +2.12%) fourth-quarter earnings report. After the world's largest maker of semiconductor equipment reported that bookings more than doubled sequentially in its fourth quarter and gave bullish commentary, the stock jumped 5% in premarket trading. However, those gains quickly evaporated in the regular market session. It wasn't clear why, though valuation concerns may have played a role, as the stock had doubled in the last six months coming into the report. While investors may have been unsure about what the news meant for ASML, the report was unequivocally bullish for the semiconductor industry. ASML's role in the chip industry ASML represents the most upstream position in the chip sector. The company sell the machines that manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor use to make chips. Therefore, demand for its machines should be a leading indicator for production downstream, and that seems to be what's happening here. Bookings in the quarter jumped from 5.4 billion euros in the third quarter to 13.2 billion, and full-year bookings rose 48% to 28 billion euros, outpacing full-year revenue growth at 16% to 32.7 billion euros. CEO Christophe Fouquet said, "Over the past quarter, we have seen a notable increase and acceleration of capacity expansion planning across the large majority of our customer base." He noted favorable dynamics in both logic and memory, the two segments the company serves, and said revenue from extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV), its most advanced machine, would be up significantly due to growing demand for advanced logic and DRAM, a type of memory. ASML shared a chart that shows how AI-driven growth is building momentum in the sector. As you can see, it's still very early in the expected impact from AI demand for both compute power and memory, and both segments are expected to be significantly larger in five years. Why it's bullish for the ch...

Key Points Nextpower once called itself Nextracker because it made systems that allowed solar power cells to track the sun. The company has expanded beyond trackers, offering other products that support solar power development. It is leaning on its new business lines for growth. 10 stocks we like better than Nextpower › Nextpower (NASDAQ: NXT) changed its name in 2025 to better represent its current objectives.

Getty Images I have already analyzed Dutch Bros ( BROS ) (check it here ) and Black Rock Coffee Bar ( BRCB ) (check it here ), which, in my opinion, are very interesting stories that show that the classic industry that was practically dominated by Starbucks ( SBUX ) still has very compelling prospects that allow for the construction of a business model capable of scaling up significantly. However, these two do not compete with SBUX in size, although they are still positive stories about this coffee-focused QSR business model. The company that can really do this and even has real potential to eventually dethrone (not only in size but also as a benchmark, shareholder value, and even revenue, eventually) Starbucks is Luckin Coffee ( LKNCY ). And the main thing is that, in addition to having this potential to surpass Starbucks, LKNCY, on this path, should generate a lot of shareholder value. Therefore, my rating is a buy. I’ve Never Seen Anything Like That I have covered many retail companies, and even so, I can't think of any example of a listed company that has shown the pace of expansion that Luckin Coffee is showing. It's something that even makes you stop and think, “Did I understand these numbers correctly? Are they reporting something wrong?” and that’s why the chart below is very appealing; they opened almost 8 thousand stores in one year. Luckin Coffee Presentation In the last quarter alone, 3,000 stores were opened. Do you know any other company that managed to deliver this kind of growth? I don't, so if you do, feel free to share this info in the comments section. But also, 99% of these Luckin stores are located in China. I mean, this is the main reason for the attractive valuation; there are many more uncertainties when comparing to the global SBUX profile. Also, I know we are talking about a huge country, but Luckin Coffee has already reached more than 112 million transacting customers, with growth of tens of millions YoY. This is impressive even for China;...

Beyond Nvidia: 3 Alternative AI Stocks That Will Soar in 2026 The Globe and Mail

Nvidia will have a great 2026, but you can't go all-in on the stock. Make no mistake. I think Nvidia (NVDA 0.23%) will be an excellent stock to own in 2026. It has strong tailwinds blowing in its favor and top-notch execution. However, putting all of your eggs in one basket is a disaster waiting to happen. So, investors need some alternative AI stocks to diversify a bit in the artificial intelligence (AI) space. Three stocks that I think can make for strong alternative investments to Nvidia are Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM 1.76%), Broadcom (AVGO 1.30%), and AMD (AMD 1.55%). All three of these companies are set to soar on similar tailwinds as Nvidia, and I think each makes for a great buy right now. 1. Taiwan Semiconductor Nvidia only designs its chips; it doesn't actually make them. That's where a chip foundry business like Taiwan Semiconductor comes in. It manufactures chips for nearly every major computing company, including Broadcom and AMD. It is the largest foundry in the world by revenue and holds a massive market share in its industry thanks to its consistent technological advancements and strong production fields. AI revenue has been a huge boost for TSMC, and management projects the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for AI chips from 2024 to 2029 will be nearly 60%. For 2026, they expect strong growth of nearly 30% year over year, making it a great stock to own.
