T-Mobile illegally imposed 50GB cap on low-income home Internet plan, NY says

fivenewscrypto    novembre 13, 2026   

T-Mobile violated a New York state law by imposing a 50GB-per-month data cap and reducing speeds to less than a megabit per second on home Internet plans it is required to offer people with low incomes, New York government officials alleged.

T-Mobile agreed to a settlement requiring it to scrap the data and speed limits, to offer the required low-income plans to more parts of the state, and to make it easier for customers to find information about the plans. The settlement requires T-Mobile to eliminate the speed limits and expand availability of the plans within 120 days.

The alleged legal violation and the settlement are related to T-Mobile's wireless home Internet service, not the company's mobile plans. Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the settlement on Monday, saying that a state investigation found T-Mobile violated the New York Affordable Broadband Act (ABA).

Anduril says its first satellite can see adversaries maneuver in orbital night

Anduril says its first satellite can see adversaries maneuver in orbital night

fivenewscrypto    novembre 13, 2026   

Anduril Industries has announced the successful demonstration of a new satellite-based sensor designed to track other spacecraft that may be hiding their maneuvers in Earth's shadow.

Funded with Anduril's internal capital, the company's oven-sized satellite launched on a SpaceX rideshare mission in July with a package of tech demo payloads: an edge-compute processor, a power-management system adaptable to different mission types, and a long-wave infrared space sensor capable of detecting other objects in orbit.

Anduril reported on the success of the tech demo mission Tuesday. The company's satellite, named Anduril-216, flies about 590 km (366 mi) above Earth, spending about one-third of each orbit in darkness. Anduril-216's night passes allow its infrared imager to shine.

NASA's secret weapon in the lunar space race may be ... procurement reform?

NASA's secret weapon in the lunar space race may be ... procurement reform?

fivenewscrypto    novembre 12, 2026   

Senior NASA officials held a lengthy news conference last weekend, laying out a series of lunar contract awards, new contract opportunities, and mission decisions. They followed one after the other: landers, nuclear-powered rovers, scouting drones, power generation, storage, and communication satellites.

It never seemed to end.

"Hopefully, we're keeping industry on their toes trying to catch up to all the solicitations we're doing," said Carlos García-Galán, manager of the Moon Base Program, more than 90 minutes into the news conference. "This is what it takes to do the Moon Base in the timeline we have set forth."

Taiwan’s chipmaking giant TSMC to invest $1B in Anthropic, OpenAI

Taiwan’s chipmaking giant TSMC to invest $1B in Anthropic, OpenAI

fivenewscrypto    novembre 12, 2026   

Top chip manufacturer TSMC is ready to invest $1 billion in Anthropic and OpenAI. That would give the Taiwanese chipmaker direct stakes in leading AI developers, even as its own contract chipmaking business has profited enormously from the AI data center buildout.

The chipmaker’s board approved plans to invest up to $500 million in OpenAI preferred stock reserved for large investors and another $500 million to purchase Anthropic common shares at the latter’s expected IPO price, according to Reuters. Such an investment may give markets “a shot of confidence as the artificial-intelligence trade shows signs of strain,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

But analysts also warned that such circular financing among investors, suppliers, and customers has made it difficult to evaluate real market demand for AI-related hardware and services, according to the Journal.

Trump admin loses fight to spy on random journalists’ LinkedIn DMs

Trump admin loses fight to spy on random journalists’ LinkedIn DMs

fivenewscrypto    novembre 12, 2026   

The Trump administration’s fight to stop suspected leaks of top-secret military information on LinkedIn can’t sweep in “a vast number of confidential sources” of random journalists “who have no conceivable relationship” to the Department of Justice’s investigation, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.

The order came after the DOJ asked LinkedIn to turn over 18 months of communications from targeted journalists who collectively published more than 1,000 articles on many different topics over that time period. The request was not limited to journalists involved in a controversial report from a news outlet that Trump said exposed confidential military information in a foreign country. (The outlet is not being named to protect national security secrets.) Instead, the DOJ cast a wide net, requesting extensive LinkedIn data on journalists who had any possible link to the journalists around the time the report was drafted.

The majority of journalists have LinkedIn accounts and publish their contact information to encourage sources to connect on the platform, LinkedIn argued. So allowing that government overreach went beyond harming targeted journalists and threatened to undermine a critical platform where journalists frequently connect with confidential sources, judges ruled. Even more concerning, the Trump administration secured a secrecy order barring LinkedIn from telling anyone about the sweeping request for a year. That left journalists unaware for far too long that their First Amendment rights had been compromised, judges ruled.

Grok Build coding agent leaks oodles of confidential info, some belonging to SpaceXSI

Grok Build coding agent leaks oodles of confidential info, some belonging to SpaceXSI

fivenewscrypto    novembre 12, 2026   

Grok Build, the vibe-coding agent from SpaceXSI, is leaking data—some of it proprietary business information and other sensitive secrets—from thousands of its users, including the very same Elon Musk-owned company that offers the platform, new research shows.

The information is revealed through links allowing Grok Build users to share their apps with others. Grok takes steps to randomize the URLs so only people who know the exact URL can access the data stored there. A design decision by developers of the platform, however, completely torpedoes that objective and makes it possible for anyone to enumerate thousands of live Grok Build projects. Except in rare cases, clicking those links opens the app and reveals all data associated with it.

You had one job

Research from security firm Claroc shows that the exposed data includes things like internal business plans, ad proposals, medical exam results, galley checklists from a celebrity cruise line, and employee names and ID numbers. Ironically, some of the sensitive data comes from two-dozen apps built by SpaceXSI (the name of the now-merged SpaceX and xAI) itself. A small sampling of the documents revealed in the SpaceXSI apps—Claroc found 24 of them—include an onboarding plan, marked confidential, for a new member of SpaceXSI’s enterprise sales team, a sales territory map of 594 accounts, internal system addresses for sales team tools, and advertising proposals.
