Crypto firm BitGo confidentially files for US IPO
(Reuters) -BitGo, a provider of trust and security services for digital assets, said on Monday it has confidentially filed for a U.S. listing, as crypto firms race to capitalize on renewed market momentum.
Several high-profile companies, including those in riskier sectors like crypto and fintech, have launched successful listings in recent weeks, signaling pent-up demand and a rebound in capital markets activity.
BitGo's announcement follows the crypto sector's market value hitting $4 trillion last week, driven by renewed optimism, regulatory clarity in key markets, and rising institutional inflows.
The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the proposed initial public offering have not yet been determined, BitGo said.

White House unveils artificial intelligence policy plan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House released an artificial intelligence (AI) policy plan on Wednesday spelling out priorities for the U.S. to achieve "global dominance" in the sector. U.S. President Donald Trump's plan calls for open-source and open-weight AI models to be made freely available by developers for anyone in the world to download and modify. The plan also calls for the Commerce Department to research Chinese AI models for alignment with Chinese Communist Party talking points and censorship. As previously reported by Reuters, it adds the federal government should not allow AI-related federal funding to be directed toward states with "burdensome" regulations.

Microsoft server hack has now hit 400 victims, researchers say

REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes/File photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A sweeping cyber-espionage campaign organization centered on vulnerable versions of Microsoft's server software has now claimed about 400 victims, according to researchers at Netherlands-based Eye Security. The figure, which is derived from a count of digital artifacts discovered during scans of servers running vulnerable versions of Microsoft's SharePoint software, compares to 100 organizations cataloged over the weekend. Eye Security says the figure is likely an undercount. "There are many more, because not all attack vectors have left artifacts that we could scan for," said Vaisha Bernard, the chief hacker for Eye Security, which was among the first organizations to flag the breaches. The spy campaign kicked off after Microsoft failed to fully patch a security hole in its SharePoint server software, kicking off a scramble to fix the vulnerability when it was discovered. Microsoft and its tech rival, Google owner Alphabet , have both said Chinese hackers are among those taking advantage of the flaw. Beijing has denied the claim. The details of most of the victim organizations have not yet been fully disclosed. Bernard declined to identify them. (Reporting by Raphael Satter; Editing by Jan Harvey and Mark Porter)
