Video DeltaNet: A Video-Native Hybrid Attention for Livestream Video Generation

Video DeltaNet combines local Softmax attention with linear memory, enabling 14.5x faster 768p video generation on eight NVIDIA B200 GPUs.

Video DeltaNet (VDN) is a video-native hybrid attention architecture pairing local Softmax attention with bidirectional linear memory for long-range context, introducing Video Delta Attention that updates memory once per frame with spatial tokens. It is instantiated on MiniMax H3, applying the hybrid to video-to-video interactions while retaining Softmax for text and audio. With eight-step distillation and an optimized SGLang serving stack, VDN-H3 completes DiT denoising for a 14.3-second 768p video in 6.70 seconds on eight NVIDIA B200 GPUs, a 14.5x speedup over the 50-step dense H3 baseline.

IoT Under Siege: The Anatomy of the Latest Mirai Campaign Leveraging Multiple IoT Exploits

Unit 42 tracks a Mirai botnet campaign exploiting over 20 IoT vulnerabilities in routers, cameras and DVRs to build DDoS botnets since March 2023.

Since March 2023, Unit 42 has tracked threat actors exploiting more than 20 IoT vulnerabilities to spread a Mirai botnet variant, first seen downloading payloads from zvub.us on March 14, 2023. Exploited flaws span CVE-2023-1389 (TP-Link Archer), CVE-2022-30525 (Zyxel), CVE-2022-31499 (Nortek) and many router, camera and DVR bugs. The variant decrypts configuration strings with an XOR key derived from 0xDEADBEEF and lacks built-in credential brute forcing, so spreading relies on manual operator exploitation. Two campaigns observed since October 2022 share infrastructure and near-identical samples.

How CHERIoT Provides Strong and Usable Isolation Without an MMU

ACM Queue paper explains how CHERIoT uses CHERI hardware capabilities to give microcontroller-class IoT devices memory and privilege isolation without an MMU.

The ACM Queue article (DOI 10.1145/3831361) describes CHERIoT, a RISC-V-derived platform that scales CHERI capability-based hardware down to small embedded and IoT microcontrollers. It provides strong, fine-grained isolation and memory safety without a memory management unit, aiming to make compartmentalization practical for low-cost devices. The piece emphasizes usability of the isolation model alongside its security guarantees.

Free streaming boxes may be routing criminal traffic through your home

Researchers found SuperBox streaming boxes and the CyberFlix TV app enroll home connections into the Popanet residential proxy network, routing criminal traffic.

Researchers found that SuperBox devices and the CyberFlix TV app, distributed through SuperBox's custom app store, contain Popanet proxy functionality that registers the device with servers controlled by the proxy operator, enrolling household connections into residential proxy networks. The reported configuration weakens Android safeguards with exposed ADB access, root-level privileges without authentication, and removal of app-install protections. Plume's research warns these proxy networks can also function as malware-delivery platforms, and the FBI notes foreign entities use residential proxies to conceal activity such as credential stuffing and account abuse. Malwarebytes advises disconnecting and replacing affected SuperBox/CyberFlix devices rather than factory-resetting them.

AuK Technical Report: An Open-Source Foundational Model for Speech Generation and Editing

Open-source speech foundation model AuK unifies generation and editing, trained on 1.95 million hours, with distilled AuK-Flash achieving 4.5x speedup.

AuK is an open-source foundational model that unifies speech generation and editing through natural-language instructions and audio context, trained on approximately 3.03 billion instruction-audio instances and 1.95 million hours of supervision across five task families including generation, content editing, and acoustic editing. It combines a multimodal LLM for semantic conditioning, a VAE jointly trained on speech, general audio, and music, and a hybrid rectified-flow Transformer using dual-stream MMDiT blocks followed by unified single-stream DiT blocks. Post-training applies human-feedback preference optimization for editing and reward-based reinforcement learning for generation, and the distilled AuK-Flash performs 4-step inference without classifier-free guidance at a 4.5x wall-clock speedup. Source code and model weights are released.

Top 10 Best Browser Isolation Solutions in 2026

A 2026 market overview ranks ten remote browser isolation tools, with Menlo Security as the pure-play reference as SSE vendors bundle isolation.

PhysStream: Streaming Physics-Grounded Video Generation with Structured Scene Memory and Fine-Grained Motion Control

PhysStream enables mid-generation interactive control of physics-grounded video via structured scene memory and velocity-increment signals, reducing motion distribution distance 33%.

PhysStream is an autoregressive physics-grounded image-to-video model that maintains structured scene memory—positional maps and object tracking maps derived online from previously generated frames—and accepts fine-grained motion control via sparse velocity-increment signals encoding physical quantities. Training runs in two stages: a bidirectional model finetuned with motion-control conditioning, then a causal autoregressive model with structured scene memory. It supports interactive mid-generation control over multi-object tabletop rigid-body scenes, reducing motion distribution distance (FVMD) by 33% and trajectory error by 12% over the strongest baselines. Human evaluators preferred it in over 85% of in-the-wild comparisons.
