Rivian R2 First Drive: The $45,000 Electric SUV Built to Challenge Tesla Model Y

Rivian has officially launched its R2, a mass-market electric SUV starting at $45,000 that CEO RJ Scaringe calls a make-or-break moment for the company. With AI-powered hands-free driving, competitive pricing against the Tesla Model Y, and production targets exceeding 50,000 units annually, the R2 represents Rivian's ambitious push beyond luxury EVs. But early buyers face a critical trade-off: Gen 2 hardware now or wait for advanced Gen 3 autonomy later.

Hades malware tricks AI security scanners with fake nuclear weapon prompts to hide payloads

A sophisticated supply chain attack called Hades targets Python developers by deceiving AI-powered security tools with adversarial prompt injection. The malware embeds fake instructions about creating biological and nuclear weapons in code comments, triggering safety failsafes that cause scanners to skip the actual malicious payload. Security researchers have identified 37 Python and 106 JavaScript packages compromised in this campaign, which steals credentials from AWS, GitHub, Kubernetes, and AI developer tools.
