Michael Lynton, the former CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, is looking back on the 2014 film The Interview with deep regret.
In a recent excerpt from Lynton’s upcoming memoir From Mistakes to Meaning: Owning Your Past So It Doesn’t Own You, published recently in the Wall Street Journal, he opens up about how greenlighting The Interview, a dark comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco about a plan to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was the “biggest mistake of my career,” because it led to the infamous Sony hack.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest in Norfolk, England on Thursday marked the first time in more than 350 years that a senior member of the royal family has been arrested.
“This is uncharted territory for the royal family and who knows where it’s going to end,” Duncan Larcombe tells Rolling Stone. Larcombe has been reporting on the British royal family since 2004 and is the author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story. “This is something that is potentially hugely damaging, and for King Charles, it’s the stuff of nightmares.”

The rapid spread of OpenClaw wasn’t going fast enough for someone.
Cybersecurity vendors this week noticed an odd trend when the npm package for version 2.3.0 of Cline, a widely used open source AI coding tool, began installing an apparent stowaway program: OpenClaw. For approximately eight hours, users who downloaded Cline received a poisoned version of the tool that, while not carrying traditional malware, still made unauthorized installations on their systems.
It’s unclear who perpetrated this odd supply chain attack, and what the ultimate motivation is beyond forced installations of OpenClaw. But the attack marks the latest red flag for the fast-growing AI framework, which security researchers have expressed concerns about since its explosion onto the technology landscape last month.

Amazon is warning that a Russian-speaking hacker used multiple generative AI services as part of a campaign that breached more than 600 FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in five weeks.
A new report by CJ Moses, CISO of Amazon Integrated Security, says that the hacking campaign occurred between January 11 and February 18, 2026, and did not rely on any exploits to breach Fortinet firewalls.
Instead, the threat actor targeted exposed management interfaces and weak credentials that lacked MFA protection, then used AI to help automate access to other devices on the breached network.

Social media addiction has been compared to casinos, opioids and cigarettes.
While there’s some debate among experts about the line between overuse and addiction, and whether social media can cause the latter, there is no doubt that many people feel like they can’t escape the pull of Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and other platforms.
The companies that designed your favorite apps have an incentive to keep you glued to them so they can serve up ads that make them billions of dollars in revenue. Resisting the pull of the endless scroll, the dopamine hits from short-form videos and the ego boost and validation that come from likes and positive interactions, can seem like an unfair fight. For some people, “rage-bait,” gloomy news and arguing with internet strangers also have an irresistible draw.

Moltbook, marketed as ”A Social Network for AI Agents,” has fundamental architectural flaws. A security analysis reveals the platform is not only smaller and less autonomous than claimed, it also serves as a global gateway for malicious commands.
Moltbook presents itself as a Reddit-style social network where autonomous AI agents post, comment, vote, and interact with each other while humans mostly watch. Posts with more than 113,000 comments and the illusion of tens of thousands of active agents feed the narrative of a thriving digital society.
