AI demand is real. We’re moving to meet it. 🤖🤝 DigitalOcean has raised $920M to build even more infrastructure capacity. 🔗 do.co/3PztLKD

Strong partnerships create stronger solutions. Vincent Oostlander, EMEA Sales Director at @Seagate, shares how the combination of Seagate Lyve Cloud and Acronis delivers a powerful proposition for MSPs, pairing scalable, S3‑compatible cloud storage and predictable pricing with advanced cyber protection and backup capabilities to support long‑term, compliance‑ready data retention. As data volumes grow and compliance requirements evolve, backup and archiving are more critical than ever. Together, we help partners protect data today and long into the future. 🔗 Learn more about secure, AI-powered applications and compliant data storage for MSPs: bit.ly/4bIqPDU

Here's a sneak peak of what you might have missed at SXSW 👀 catch the recap on our YouTube channel

👾 Hundreds of GitHub repositories delivering malware to gamers under the guise of free game cheats were discovered by Acronis Threat Research Unit. Among the malware found is Vidar 2.0, a recently updated information stealer that has risen to popularity following the disruption of other leading infostealers. Vidar 2.0 represents a substantial advancement: it has been fully rewritten from C++ to C, introduces polymorphic builds and multi-threaded execution and is distributed via trusted platforms like GitHub and Reddit, making detection and takedown harder. Research authored by Eliad Kimhy and Darrel Virtusio provides a complete overview of this novel variant alongside an analysis of the broader attack vector. Read more: acronis.com/en/tru/posts/v…

We’ve moved beyond the Training Era. Welcome to the Inference Era — where AI doesn’t just answer questions, it gets work done. At @digitalocean, we’re expanding our partnership with @nvidia to build a purpose-built agentic inference cloud. From model → production in minutes. The AI Factory is here. Learn More about what we announced at GTC: do.co/4be75If

Create autonomous agents in minutes with @NVIDIA & DigitalOcean. 🤖☁️🌊 Build with NVIDIA NemoClaw & Agent Toolkit on build.nvidia.com using models from Z.ai, Moonshot, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Meta, & OpenAI, then deploy to production on DigitalOcean.

Today at @NVIDIAGTC, DigitalOcean & @NVIDIA delivered the biggest AI infrastructure announcements of the year for teams building in production. 🤖🌩️🚀 More models, next-gen compute, a new US East region, & a workflow that takes you from #NVIDIA prototype to DigitalOcean production without the friction. 🌊

From @Techstars alum to premier partner, we’re coming full circle! 🌊🤝⭐️ We’re teaming up to give early-stage founders the credits, AI infrastructure, & hands-on support they need to go from idea to scale, fast.

Copilot. Cursor. Full APIs in an afternoon. New endpoints. New attack surface. Nothing in any spec. Security testing not in the pipeline doesn't run at all. The AI-DLC changed everything → stackhawk.com/blog/what-is-t…

Acronis Threat Research Unit has identified a targeted campaign distributing a trojanized version of the Red Alert rocket warning Android app to Israeli users via SMS messages impersonating official communications from Israel’s Home Front Command. The malicious app imitates the legitimate Red Alert Israel application used by millions to receive real-time rocket and missile notifications. This makes it a highly effective social-engineering lure because, during periods of active conflict, the urgency to install or update the app can override users’ usual caution and create an opportunity for attackers to deploy embedded spyware. 🔗 Read the full report for a detailed breakdown of the infection chain, from the initial SMS lure to the spyware payload: bit.ly/4buAhL0
