Last update: 4 hours agoJapan Defense Tech Push: Japan’s 2026 Defense White Paper says “new ways of warfare” driven by AI and drones demand tighter ties with tech firms, more defense startups, and a stronger domestic production base—while warning that China’s military activity, plus Russia and North Korea cooperation, raises the risk of a major East Asia crisis. North Korea Cyber Pushback: Pyongyang rejects a joint 11-nation warning about North Korean IT workers using fake identities and AI to get remote jobs and fund weapons programs, calling it a politically motivated smear and defending its stance against “hostile forces.” North Korea Nuclear-Exposure Genetics: South Korea reports that nearly 30% of defectors from near the Punggye-ri nuclear test site showed chromosomal abnormalities in radiation monitoring data from 2017–2025, though officials say a direct link to testing isn’t confirmed. Malware via Crypto Transfers: Security researchers say DPRK-linked attackers hide malware command servers inside empty Ethereum transactions, using npm supply-chain tricks to make malicious activity harder to spot. Bio/Research Note: A genetic study explains how invasive longhorned ticks spread globally, including findings tied to reproduction patterns that may help them expand into new regions.
