We're taking a bet that the future development and growth of space computing will resemble a lot what we've seen on earth:

- Open and interoperable
- Cryptographically verifiable and secure
- Shared resources will unlock utility and scale

Today we're announcing the first mission of @SpaceComputerIO, a custom design and implementation of our Space Fabric architecture. Our payload will be integrated aboard a spacecraft traveling from LEO to GEO and will be planned to operate in GEO for full 12 months or longer.

Thanks to @spacereportr and @SpaceNews_Inc for the coverage 👽🙏🏻

Black October update: 54 new attacks in the last 48 hours

6 VERY serious attacks (among the biggest of a normal *year*)

SUMMARY OF THE LAST 48 HOURS:

- Planes across Europe were forced into emergency landings
- TV stations across Europe went dark
- Italy: a gas tanker heading into port lost its control systems in a suspected cyberattack.

*** Year-level incidents (in a typical year, these would be among the biggest incidents of the year):

1. Europe: a wave of emailed bomb threats has grounded, diverted and searched dozens of flights from Serbia to Finland to Spain, and on Friday hit TV stations: Ireland's national broadcaster played music instead of its shows for up to three hours. "It will detonate in 45 minutes. The clock is ticking," one read. "This is only the beginning. What happened this week is just a small part of what awaits Europe." Spain's foreign minister calls it hybrid aggression. No bombs were found.

2. AI: a hacking AI broke out of its test and hacked a real company. A researcher says his AI agent escaped its sealed-off test environment and broke into WorkOS, which runs logins for many software companies, pulling customer records. WorkOS confirmed it was his agent.

3. The freezer attacks reached medicine and kept spreading. In Germany, hackers hit the cooling for a drug wholesaler's medicines. In Switzerland, a butcher found his freezer at 50 to 70°C, the meat "like cooked". In Italy, they took over fridges and freezers in 13 supermarkets, pushing one to 40°C (104°F). The US warned: "Every organisation that depends on refrigeration ... should assume it could be a target."

4. AI: staff got calls from their CEO, by voice and sometimes on video, telling them to wire money. It was an AI fake. US prosecutors say three men went after thousands of companies this way and stole about $129 million, including from hospital systems in Missouri and California.

5. AI: one hacker in Taiwan ran a team of 12 AI agents against hundreds of organizations in 11 countries. In Taipei they got the fire department's ambulance video and patients' heart readings. Big AI companies' models refused to help, so he used open-weights AIs with the safety removed.

6. Japan: in a single day, four big companies said hackers likely got data on nearly 10 million customers, including 2.8 million buyers of Rohto, Japan's best-known eye drops, plus recordings of customer calls that included 9,715 people's card numbers. The prime minister: "At this very moment, cases of unauthorized access and data breaches are occurring, causing a major impact on daily lives of the people."

*** Month-level incidents (In a typical month, these would be among the biggest incidents):

7. Italy: a gas tanker heading into port lost its control systems in a suspected cyberattack.

8. Belgium: hackers reportedly shut down a lab that tests thousands of blood samples a day, and want a ransom.

9. Japan: hackers broke into the national system families would use to find out whether their loved ones are alive after an armed attack or a disaster. It has been shut down.

10. AI: OpenAI says one of its models, cut off from the internet during a test, wrote its own code to sneak past the block and went after the keys to a cloud account. It left itself a note to stop, then minutes later went right back to it.

11. iPhones: on older iPhone software, just opening a booby-trapped web page, even an ad while scrolling Instagram, lets thieves in to hunt for your crypto wallets. They've reportedly drained about $4 million.

12. Japan: hackers likely got the personal data of up to 7.7 million shoppers at Iris Ohyama, one of Japan's biggest household-goods makers.

13. Japan: hackers took the names, birthdays, emails and phone numbers of up to 7 million members of Hotto Motto, one of Japan's biggest takeout lunch chains.

Also serious:

14. South Korea: ransomware wiped patient records at a Busan spine hospital, and patients are being sent to pharmacies to dig up their old prescriptions.

15. US: a grieving Las Vegas family is reportedly still waiting on a life insurance payout because of a cyberattack at the insurer.

16. South Korea: a new ransomware gang claims it stole 90 TB from five hospitals.

17. Crypto: a buyer reportedly found a hidden chip inside a Trezor wallet that could leak its master recovery words.

18. Israel: eight major websites reportedly went down in a wave of attacks.

19. New York: ransomware knocked out the computers, Wi-Fi, checkouts and website at all 66 branches of Queens Public Library.

20. South Korea: hackers hit Mirae Asset, the country's biggest brokerage, two days in a row, taking 3,800 customers' account numbers.

21. France: patients' names and home addresses leaked from Inovie, which runs about 20% of France's private medical lab tests, after hackers broke into the post office's mail-sending company.

22. Brazil: hackers got savers' names, tax IDs and birth dates from the fund that guarantees Brazilians' bank deposits, which is now warning them about scammers.

23. Singapore: hackers got ID numbers, birth dates and home addresses of customers of M1, one of the country's three big phone carriers.

24. Japan: hackers likely got the driver's license numbers, incomes and loan amounts of up to 320,000 borrowers at the lending arm of one of Japan's three biggest banks.

25. Germany: hackers got passwords, home addresses and birth dates of about 60,000 students and staff at the Technical University of Munich.

26. South Korea: hackers hit Hanpass, the app foreigners in Korea use to send money home, and it had to warn its 1.7 million users in 19 languages.

27. Nubank, Latin America's biggest digital bank, stopped customers' crypto transfers after hackers got login data for every customer of Chainalysis, the crypto-tracing firm police rely on.

Smaller, but still notable:

28. Greece: hackers used the health minister's email to order 150 Porsche Cayennes, 50 Maybachs, 24 shotguns and a handgun in his name.

29. Spain: scammers are emailing Iberostar hotel guests in the chain's name, using booking details that leaked.

30. Spain: hackers stole the bank details of supporters who lent money to the far-right Vox party for its election campaign.

31. Japan: someone changed the passwords of users of the official national lottery website, and it was shut down.

32. Canada: a ransomware gang posted school district files from Burnaby, near Vancouver, including staff harassment investigations.

33. South Korea: hackers copied phone numbers from Apartner, an app used by 3.2 million people in 4,000 apartment complexes.

34. France: hackers claim 4.8 million customers' data from office-supplies chain Bureau Vallée, which confirmed two attacks.

Plus 16 more we didn't have room for: the company building the Alps' Brenner rail tunnel, 200+ organizations hit by AI hacking agents, Botswana's national airline, a German supermarket's freezers, German computer shop Mindfactory, Korean crypto exchange Gopax, web-security firm DigiCert, French gift card company Illicado, Norway's aid agency, a Korean bookkeeping service, QNAP home storage boxes, fake security tools on GitHub, a German welfare group, a decade-old Linux login flaw, crypto card company Gnosis Pay and SonicWall office VPNs.

Correction: Docomo now claims its nationwide outage was an equipment fault.
