Cyberattack hits Microsoft Accounts of Washington Post journalists
The Washington Post is investigating a cyberattack in the form of an unauthorised targeted intrusion on the email accounts of its journalists.
The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the breach, said it was potentially the work of a foreign government. According to the report, staffers at the Washington Post were told the intrusions compromised journalists' Microsoft accounts and could have granted the intruder access to work emails.
The reporters whose emails were targeted included members of the national security and economic policy teams, including some who write about China, the report added.
Matt Murray, the Washington Post's executive editor, said in an internal memo that the investigation was initiated after the breach was first discovered.

Dataiku launches new FSI Blueprint designed to accelerate Agentic AI in financial services
Dataiku, the Universal AI Platform™ has announced a new FSI Blueprint for deploying agentic AI systems in financial services. This blueprint is designed to help banking and insurance institutions create, connect, and control intelligent AI agents at scale—with the governance, performance, and flexibility required for production in these highly regulated industries. This announcement builds on Dataiku's integration in the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design, which helps enterprises accelerate the development and deployment of secure, scalable AI infrastructure. 'AI agents represent the next major shift in enterprise productivity, and banks are among the earliest adopters,' said Malcolm deMayo, Vice President of Global Financial Services at NVIDIA. 'This new bank blueprint from Dataiku, accelerated by NVIDIA, combines reusable components that enable banks to automate thousands of repetitive manual tasks. This allows institutions to deploy intelligent systems that can adapt to complex workflows and evolve responsibly over time—all while meeting regulatory and compliance requirements through central governance.' The FSI Blueprint combines The Universal AI Platform and Dataiku LLM Mesh with NVIDIA NIMmicroservices, NVIDIA NeMo, and GPU-accelerated infrastructure. It leverages AI agents powered by NVIDIA to provide financial institutions with a secure and modular foundation for building agentic AI solutions across use cases like fraud detection, customer service, risk analysis, and operations automation. 'Financial institutions are under pressure to operationalize AI faster, while managing risk, regulation, and complexity,' said John McCambridge, Global Head of Financial Services at Dataiku. 'This FSI Blueprint helps banks and insurers move beyond experimentation, delivering trusted AI agents that are observable, cost-controlled, and designed to deliver meaningful business value.' The Dataiku LLM Mesh offers native integration with NVIDIA NIM to simplify deployment of open, proprietary, and custom models within financial environments. Guardrails within Dataiku LLM Guard Services, such as Cost Guard and Quality Guard, provide built-in oversight, giving IT and product teams control over model usage, cost optimization, and performance evaluation. The collaboration between Dataiku and NVIDIA was unveiled during NVIDIA GTC Paris at VivaTech 2025. The FSI Blueprint represents the first in a series of joint initiatives to drive agentic AI innovation in highly regulated industries, with expansion planned into life sciences and energy. Financial institutions interested in deploying the FSI Blueprint can engage directly with joint go-to-market teams from Dataiku and NVIDIA.

Trump Organization unveils self-branded mobile phone network
Trump Organization launched a self-branded mobile network on Monday, dubbed Trump Mobile, signaling a new effort to court conservative consumers with a wireless service positioned as an alternative to major telecom providers. The Trump family, long known for its real estate empire, luxury hotels, and golf resorts, has in recent years ventured into newer arenas including digital media and cryptocurrency. The Trump Organization said ahead of the president's inauguration that control of the company would be handed to his children, replicating the arrangement from his first term, though concerns about potential conflicts of interest remain. The company is the main holding entity for most of the U.S. president's business ventures. The Trump Organization said on Monday its new mobile venture would have call centres based in the United States and phones made in America.

Soyoil around 18-month highs, grains fall on good crop weather
HAMBURG - Chicago soyoil hit its highest in around 18 months on Monday, supported by U.S. biofuel blending proposals that are likely to increase demand, while favourable U.S. weather conditions drove wheat and corn lower. Crude oil fell after renewed military strikes by Israel and Iran over the weekend left oil production and export facilities unaffected, easing concern about disruption of crude supplies. That removed some of the support for soybean prices, which tend to move in tandem with oil, that was seen on Friday. The larger-than-expected biofuel blend proposals, however, still supported the soy complex. The Chicago Board of Trade's most-active soyoil rose 5.7% to 53.50 cents per pound at 1131 GMT, around its highest since December 2023. Soyoil gains also pulled soybeans up 0.1% at $10.71-3/4 per bushel. Wheat fell 1.2% to $5.37-1/4 a bushel as the U.S. winter wheat harvest accelerates. Corn fell 1.1% to $4.39-1/2 a bushel, weakened by favourable weather forecasts for crop development in the U.S. corn belt. 'Soybeans and soyoil are being underpinned by the Trump administration's larger-than-expected biofuel blending proposals which would generate more demand for soyoil and so soybeans," said Matt Ammermann, StoneX commodity risk manager. "The Trump Administration is not known to be renewable energy-friendly, but the substantial increase could be intended to reduce the sting of the trade war with China, which has hugely damaged U.S. soy exports to China.' Traders await weekly crop ratings on Monday from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with U.S. winter wheat harvesting accelerating, corn and soybean planting is finishing. 'Wheat and corn are weaker today as crop weather in the U.S. is looking very positive this week, with just the right mix of sunshine needed for the winter wheat harvest with a little rain needed for corn development,' said Ammermann. 'Other north hemisphere wheat crops are also looking good, especially in the Black Sea. This raises the prospects of extra competition from the Black Sea to exporters in the U.S. and other regions.'
