NEWS
1. Ukrainian adviser alleges deadly gaps in U.S. missile warnings
-- Presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov told the BBC that inconsistent U.S. ballistic-missile warnings had contributed to deaths; the White House denied any change to intelligence sharing.
-- Other intelligence cooperation continues, but ongoing Starshield speed limits also constrain drone interception; Kyiv is exploring alternative communications systems to reduce its dependence on U.S.-controlled infrastructure.
2. France imposes partial curfews after nationwide unrest
-- French authorities imposed partial curfews in parts of Paris, Nice and other cities after weekend cost-of-living protests turned violent, DW reported.
-- An intensifying French bond sell-off, reported by the Financial Times, threatens higher refinancing costs and less fiscal room to address demands over prices and education funding.
3. Saudi Arabia postpones investor conference as Houthi attacks intensify
-- Saudi Arabia postponed its Future Investment Initiative investor conference until 2027 amid repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks, CNBC reported.
-- Delaying face-to-face investor meetings could slow dealmaking and complicate Saudi efforts to attract foreign capital beyond oil.
4. U.S. stocks recover after AI sell-off
-- The Nasdaq 100 rose Monday after its biggest weekly drop since last year's trade-war sell-off, the Financial Times reported.
-- The recovery did not bring lower benchmark borrowing costs: MarketWatch reported rising 10- and 30-year Treasury yields, leaving debt-funded AI infrastructure exposed to financing pressure despite stronger share prices.
5. AOMEI servers reportedly hijacked to distribute malware
-- Attackers compromised AOMEI servers to distribute malware through a promotional feature in its backup software, briefly altering configuration files before restoring them, BleepingComputer reported.
-- For backup-system security, users need to investigate potentially exposed computers for malware; restoring the vendor's configuration files does not remove an existing endpoint infection.
6. U.S. brings voting-related charges against 28 California green-card holders
-- Federal prosecutors charged 28 lawful permanent residents with registration and related offenses, alleging that 21 cast unlawful ballots; 11 had been arrested, the Guardian reported.
-- Election officials face legal risk if they exclude eligible citizens based on the separate federal list of more than 20,000 suspected noncitizen voters; these individual prosecutions do not establish that the list is accurate.
SOFTWARE
7. Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS
-- EFF announced the release of its free tracker-blocking extension for Safari on macOS, requiring Safari 26.5 or later.
-- Mac users can reduce third-party tracking without changing browsers; Safari support on iOS remains under consideration and has not shipped.
