AI-fuelled cyberattacks drive cybersecurity market towards $352 billion by 2030

The global cybersecurity market is projected to grow from $227.59 billion in 2025 to $351.92 billion by 2030 as artificial intelligence makes sophisticated cyberattacks easier to launch and organisations increase spending on digital protection.

The market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 9.1% between 2025 and 2030, according to the figures provided. The market stood at $207.92 billion in 2024.

Generative AI has lowered the technical barrier for carrying out complex cyberattacks, giving attackers new tools to automate and scale malicious activity. The development has added pressure on companies to strengthen their security systems as threats become more accessible and potentially more difficult to detect.

Healthcare, financial services and insurance are among the sectors seeing strong growth in cybersecurity spending, with ransomware attacks contributing to increased demand for security tools and services.

The growing focus on cybersecurity has also attracted major corporate investment. Google’s $32 billion acquisition of Wiz and ServiceNow’s $7.8 billion purchase of Armis reflect the level of capital being directed towards the sector as technology companies seek to expand their cybersecurity capabilities.

North America is expected to remain the largest regional market through the forecast period, while Asia Pacific is also projected to record strong growth. Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America are expected to contribute to the wider expansion of the global market.

For businesses, the rise of AI has created a more complex security environment. The same technology being used to improve detection, automate responses and support security teams can also be used by attackers to increase the scale and speed of cyber campaigns.

The market’s projected growth points to cybersecurity becoming a core corporate spending priority as organisations respond to ransomware, AI-enabled attacks and wider digital risks. However, the pace of investment will depend on how threat levels develop, regulatory requirements change and businesses assess the cost of protecting increasingly connected systems.

Liquidium adds integrated vault strategies for collateral-backed DeFi positions

LiquidiumFi has introduced Integrated Vault Strategies, allowing users to move from collateral-backed borrowing to selected external yield opportunities without leaving the app.

The new feature lets users supply BTC or other supported collateral, borrow USDC and direct the borrowed funds into external vaults through Liquidium’s interface. The company says the update is designed to reduce the need to switch between multiple DeFi applications when managing lending and yield positions.

Available strategies include Steakhouse High Yield USDC, which is listed with a net APY of around 3.99%, along with Prime USDC/USDT and Aave positions involving USDC and ETH. Users can also access guided strategies, including a USDT-to-sUSDe route on Ethena.

The feature brings borrowing and yield generation into a single workflow, with Liquidium supporting strategies linked to protocols including Steakhouse, Aave and Ethena. The company said the aim is to make it easier for users to put collateral and borrowed assets to work through a more streamlined process.

As with other DeFi strategies, returns can vary and users remain exposed to the risks associated with the underlying protocols, assets and market conditions. The new tools give Liquidium users a way to access these strategies from within the platform while retaining control over their positions.

ODIN FUN rolls out default communities, bilingual support and stronger security in Week 27 update

ODIN FUN has published its Week 27 development update, reporting 90 commits and 28 pull requests across the platform.

The update makes internationalisation available by default, with English and Simplified Chinese now live for all users. The team said remaining hardcoded strings, including toast notifications and trading buttons, have been moved into language catalogues.

Communities are also now enabled by default. Existing users can access a “View My Community” shortcut, while updated modals provide more information about the feature.

Security changes feature prominently in the latest release. ODIN FUN has refined its two-factor authentication system so users must confirm their existing authentication factor before adding a new one. The update also addresses a Retina QR display issue and clears outdated errors when users switch authentication methods. Two-factor authentication is now available in the Authorize Liquidity window.

The platform has also updated its authorisation screens to give users more information before they approve a transaction. These screens now display the full decimal amount and fee, token and spender labels, and the user’s current balance.

Changes to staking rewards include NULL guards, pagination alignment and token ID escaping. The updates follow the launch of the platform’s API last week.

ODIN FUN also said its API test suite has been shipped to the main branch. The suite covers more than 50 endpoints across Bruno Phases 4 to 7, with schema drift now configured to cause automatic CI failures. This is designed to catch changes between API schemas and implementation during development.

The latest release continues a busy development cycle for ODIN FUN, with the Week 27 update combining user-facing features with changes aimed at improving account security, transaction clarity and software testing.

Liquidium highlights lower USDT borrowing rates as DeFi lending competition grows

Liquidium is promoting its USDT borrowing rates as it looks to attract borrowers seeking lower-cost stablecoin loans, claiming its lending platform currently offers one of the most competitive rates available in the decentralised finance market.

The company shared a comparison showing a USDT borrow annual percentage yield (APY) of 2.97% as of 15 July at 1:45pm UTC. The snapshot compared Liquidium’s rate with 5.73% on Aave V4 and 12.6% on Kamino.

“When you’re getting a loan, what’s the first thing you check? Interest rates,” the company said in a social media post. “We’ll save you the DYOR: Liquidium has some of the best stablecoin rates on the market.”

Stablecoin borrowing has become an important part of the DeFi ecosystem, allowing traders and investors to access liquidity without selling their digital assets. Borrowing costs can vary widely between protocols depending on supply and demand, available liquidity, collateral levels and overall market conditions.

The figures published by Liquidium represent a snapshot in time, and variable borrowing rates can change as market activity shifts. Borrowers are generally encouraged to monitor rates regularly, as lending costs on decentralised platforms can move throughout the day.

Competition among DeFi lending platforms has intensified as projects seek to attract users through lower borrowing costs, new collateral options and additional financial services. While lower interest rates may appeal to borrowers, users are also advised to consider factors such as collateral requirements, liquidation risk, protocol security and available liquidity before choosing a lending platform.

Liquidium has built its reputation around Bitcoin-backed lending and has expanded its offerings as demand for decentralised borrowing continues to grow. Its latest comparison highlights pricing as a key area of competition, with the company positioning lower borrowing costs as an advantage for users looking to access USDT liquidity.

Anthropic launches free Claude for Teachers programme for US K-12 educators

Anthropic has launched Claude for Teachers, a new programme offering verified K-12 educators across the United States free access to premium Claude features, alongside teaching tools designed to support lesson planning, classroom preparation and instructional activities.

The initiative gives teachers access to Learning Commons, a platform that connects Claude to academic standards in all 50 US states and evidence-based curriculum resources. According to Anthropic, this allows educators to generate lesson plans and classroom materials that align with state learning requirements while remaining editable before use.

The company said the programme was created in response to the growing workload faced by teachers, particularly those balancing large class sizes, limited resources and increasing administrative demands. Anthropic argues that artificial intelligence has the potential to reduce time spent on repetitive planning tasks, allowing teachers to focus more on classroom instruction and student engagement.

Claude for Teachers includes a library of teaching skills developed with Learning Commons and informed by learning science research. These tools can help teachers create differentiated lesson materials, adapt content for students working at different levels and produce classroom resources linked to recognised curricula such as OpenSciEd and Illustrative Mathematics’ IM v.360.

The platform also connects with a range of education technology services already used in schools. These include ASSISTments for standards-aligned maths practice, Canva Education for classroom design resources, Diffit for adapting learning materials, MagicSchool for instructional content, TeachFX for classroom feedback and several other specialist education applications.

Anthropic said teachers can also use Claude to analyse classroom data such as attendance records, assessment results and teacher notes to help identify learning patterns and tailor future lessons. Repetitive administrative tasks, including reviewing daily assessments and preparing follow-up activities, can also be automated through scheduled workflows.

Privacy has been placed at the centre of the programme. Anthropic said conversations within Claude for Teachers will not be used to train its AI models, while student information will be covered by a data processing agreement designed to comply with the US Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, commonly known as FERPA.

The service is available only to educators, in line with Claude’s policy limiting access to users aged 18 and over.

Alongside the product launch, Anthropic has released AI Fluency for PK-12 Teachers, a free training course developed with Teach For America. A separate train-the-trainer module was created with the American Federation of Teachers. The materials are available under a Creative Commons licence and are intended to help educators understand where AI can be useful in teaching while promoting responsible classroom use.

Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, said the organisation had been working with Anthropic on developing best practice guidance for AI safety and privacy in schools. She said the company had committed to applying those principles to Claude for Teachers, with the aim of helping educators while preserving the importance of teacher-student relationships.

Anthropic also plans to publish its teaching skills as open-source resources and release technical documentation explaining how the tools were evaluated. The company will pilot the programme in Detroit Public Schools Community District to study its effect on teacher wellbeing and classroom practice. The work forms part of a broader partnership with the Gates Foundation focused on developing AI tools that support K-12 education, while Playlab will assist a network of schools exploring AI adoption.

Research into AI in education has produced mixed findings. While studies have raised questions about the direct effect of AI on student learning, emerging evidence suggests that teacher-focused AI tools may improve lesson preparation, instructional quality and classroom efficiency when used appropriately. Education experts have also stressed that successful implementation depends on teacher oversight, strong privacy protections and clear guidance around responsible use.

Verified K-12 educators in the United States can register for Claude for Teachers free of charge. Those who sign up by 30 June 2027 will receive one year of premium access. Anthropic said a version tailored for schools and districts is currently in development, with further details expected at a later date.

ApexCalc launches with more than 11,000 calculators built entirely using Caffeine AI on ICP

A new online calculator platform, ApexCalc, has launched with more than 11,000 calculators covering over 50 disciplines, with its creator, Caffeine Buildoor (@ICPvibecoder), saying the entire application was developed using Caffeine AI on the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain.

Available at ApexCalc.net, the platform brings together calculators for engineering, finance, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, physics and a wide range of everyday tasks. It also includes more than 150 educational resources designed to help users understand the calculations behind the results.

The developers describe ApexCalc as one of the largest calculator platforms currently available, aiming to provide a single destination for users who would otherwise need to search across multiple websites for specialist tools.

One of the project’s main talking points is how it was built. According to the development team, every line of code was generated using Caffeine AI, an AI-powered development platform within the Internet Computer ecosystem. They say this allowed the product to be completed in a fraction of the time that a conventional software development process might have required.

The launch offers another example of how AI-assisted software development is being used to speed up the creation of large-scale applications. AI coding tools have become increasingly common across the technology industry, helping developers generate code, automate repetitive tasks and prototype applications more quickly. While these tools can reduce development time, they still require testing, validation and ongoing maintenance to ensure reliability and accuracy.

For the Internet Computer community, ApexCalc also serves as a showcase for applications built using Caffeine AI. The project demonstrates that AI-generated code can be applied beyond simple prototypes, extending to consumer-facing products with thousands of individual features.

The platform’s creators are encouraging users to test its breadth by searching for calculations they may have expected to be missing. Given the size of its catalogue, the goal appears to be offering an extensive library of calculation tools through a single interface rather than requiring users to move between multiple specialised websites.

As AI-assisted development continues to mature, projects such as ApexCalc are likely to attract attention for both the scale of their functionality and the methods used to build them. Whether AI-generated applications can consistently match the quality, accuracy and maintainability of traditionally developed software will remain an area watched closely by developers and users alike.

Internet Identity prepares MCP server to let AI agents act securely across apps

Internet Identity prepares MCP server to let AI agents act securely across apps

Internet Identity is preparing to expand how artificial intelligence agents interact with online applications through a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to keep users’ credentials out of the hands of AI systems while allowing them to carry out authorised tasks.

The feature, currently in preview, is intended to let AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Grok perform actions on behalf of users across applications connected through Internet Identity. Rather than storing passwords or private keys within an AI model, authentication is handled through an MCP server running in a trusted execution environment, with users retaining control over what actions are permitted.

Speaking in a demonstration of the technology, Arshavir Ter-Gabrielyan, Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead, said the growing use of AI agents has exposed a challenge around identity and security.

“Agents typically operate in cloud sandboxes and do not have secure access to a user’s device,” he said. “They are not the right place to manage cryptographic keys.”

Instead, the MCP server acts as an intermediary that authenticates users, manages session keys and issues short-lived delegations that allow an AI agent to perform approved tasks within individual applications. The approach is designed to reduce the risks associated with giving AI systems unrestricted access to personal accounts.

During the demonstration, Ter-Gabrielyan used ChatGPT to create and edit a post on the decentralised social platform Taggr. After connecting through Internet Identity, the AI assistant successfully published a post and later updated it with current weather information, all without exposing the user’s authentication credentials.

According to the development team, the protocol follows an emerging industry standard that allows AI assistants from different providers to connect with external applications through the same framework. That means the system is intended to work with multiple AI platforms rather than being tied to a single provider.

The current preview includes tools that help AI agents discover applications, retrieve interface definitions, identify user accounts and make authenticated or anonymous calls to Internet Computer canisters. The developers also expect the system to support infrastructure management tasks such as deploying, upgrading and maintaining canisters through AI-assisted workflows.

One of the longer-term priorities is expanding the permission model. The team plans to introduce read-only delegations that would allow AI agents to retrieve information across applications without being able to modify data or approve transactions. Users would then grant additional permissions only when they want an agent to perform specific actions.

Support for trusted execution environments is also expected to become part of the hosted service. While technically inclined users can already run their own MCP server, the development team aims to offer managed instances that can be independently verified before wider public availability.

The project reflects a broader shift in how developers expect people to interact with software. Rather than opening individual websites and moving between multiple applications, users could increasingly ask AI assistants to complete tasks across connected services through a single conversation.

That vision, however, comes with ongoing questions around privacy, security and user consent. Technology companies across the AI sector are exploring ways to let agents perform real-world actions while limiting the potential consequences of errors or unauthorised access. Internet Identity’s approach places credential management outside the AI model itself, relying on delegated permissions and secure execution environments as safeguards.

The MCP server remains in preview, with developers able to test it by running their own instance before an official hosted service becomes available. If the model proves reliable at scale, it could offer a practical way for AI assistants to move beyond answering questions and begin carrying out authenticated tasks across decentralised applications.

Mingle Berry Media launches web cloning tool that migrates live websites to ICP in minutes

Mingle Berry Media has launched a new tool that allows users to copy an existing public website and redeploy it to the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) with little more than a web address.

The feature, called the Clone Engine, is the third addition to the company’s Mingle Cloud Migrator platform. Users simply paste a website URL, after which the tool crawls publicly available pages and images before deploying the copied site to an ICP canister. According to Mingle Berry Media, the cloned version remains fully hosted on chain and can continue handling contact form submissions by sending messages directly to the site owner’s email.

The company says the tool is aimed at businesses that have lost access to their original website, whether because a developer is no longer available, credentials have been misplaced, or the site remains tied to a legacy website builder.

Mingle Berry Media demonstrated the feature by cloning the website of Estia Restaurant in Siegen, Germany. The original site and its cloned version are both publicly accessible, providing an early example of how the technology works in practice.

The Clone Engine joins two existing migration tools in the Mingle Cloud Migrator platform. The Migrator is designed to move website code to the Internet Computer, while the Emulator and Reactor supports WordPress and PHP-based websites. Together, the three tools are intended to cover a wider range of website migration scenarios.

The company has also revealed plans to introduce an artificial intelligence-powered editing feature that would allow users to modify website content after migration. Proposed capabilities include changing text, colours and other visual elements without requiring manual coding.

Website migration remains a challenge for many organisations running older systems or relying on proprietary website builders that limit access to underlying files. Tools that automate the process can reduce the technical work involved, although the results still depend on the structure of the original website and any restrictions placed on its content.

For projects considering blockchain-based hosting, the Internet Computer offers an alternative to conventional cloud infrastructure by serving websites directly from decentralised canisters. Supporters argue this can improve resilience and reduce dependence on traditional hosting providers, while wider adoption will depend on factors such as performance, ease of use, costs and compatibility with existing web services.

With the Clone Engine now available, Mingle Berry Media is expanding its focus from developer-led migration tools to a simpler option for businesses seeking to preserve or relocate websites that are already live on the public internet.

Anthropic reportedly plans $15 billion push into Australian data centres

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company led by chief executive Dario Amodei and best known for developing the Claude chatbot, is reportedly planning a major expansion in Australia, with a proposal to secure up to 1.4 gigawatts of data centre capacity by mid 2027 in a project that could cost as much as $15 billion.

According to reports, the US based AI company is seeking to secure as much Australian data centre capacity as can be delivered within the next year, reflecting the growing demand for computing infrastructure needed to train and operate advanced artificial intelligence models.

The proposal is understood to involve discussions with several of Australia’s largest data centre operators. Anthropic is reportedly exploring long term agreements for new facilities, while also considering partnerships to develop dedicated AI infrastructure capable of supporting future growth.

Reports suggest the company hopes to have at least one gigawatt of computing capacity available by the end of 2027, with the overall project potentially reaching 1.4 gigawatts. Industry estimates place the investment at up to $15 billion, which would make it one of the largest AI infrastructure projects proposed in Australia.

Companies linked to the reported process include CDC Data Centres, AirTrunk, NEXTDC, IREN and Stack Infrastructure, although no agreements have been announced.

The reported investment reflects Anthropic’s broader strategy under Dario Amodei to expand the computing resources required to compete with other leading AI developers. Demand for data centres has risen rapidly as companies race to build increasingly capable AI systems, placing pressure on electricity networks and creating strong competition for suitable sites.

Australia has attracted growing interest from global technology firms because of its expanding data centre industry, reliable regulatory environment and increasing supply of renewable energy. Sydney and Melbourne remain the country’s largest data centre markets, with further developments planned over the coming years.

The proposal has also renewed discussion around the environmental and infrastructure demands of large scale AI facilities. Data centres require substantial electricity and cooling, leading industry experts and local communities to call for careful planning to ensure power supplies, water resources and grid capacity can support future projects.

Separate reports have suggested Anthropic has sought greater clarity around Australia’s copyright framework for AI training. The issue remains under discussion as governments around the world consider how copyright laws should apply to artificial intelligence systems. The Australian Government has maintained that creators should continue to be protected under existing copyright principles while consultation on future policy continues.

Anthropic has not publicly confirmed the reported investment plans. If the project proceeds, it would further strengthen Australia’s position as a destination for global AI infrastructure and reflect the growing competition among technology companies to secure the computing capacity needed for the next generation of artificial intelligence.

Odin Launches Two-Factor Authentication Features to Strengthen Account Security

Odin has introduced new security measures for users of its platform, adding two-factor authentication (2FA), passkey support and account locking options designed to provide greater protection for withdrawals, transfers and other sensitive actions.

The update allows users to enable an authenticator app using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). Once activated, users will need to enter a verification code from apps such as Google Authenticator or Authy before completing withdrawals and transfers.

Odin has also added passkey support, allowing users to approve sensitive actions through device-based security features such as Face ID, fingerprint authentication or hardware security keys. The feature removes the need to manually enter authentication codes while providing an alternative recovery option if a user loses access to their authenticator app.

Another feature introduced in the update is account locking, which gives users the ability to place their account into a protected mode. While an account is locked, actions including withdrawals, transfers, buying and selling require additional verification through 2FA before they can proceed.

The company said the security improvements follow previous challenges faced by the platform and are aimed at giving users greater control over protecting their accounts.

“Security isn’t a feature we added because it looked good on a roadmap. It’s something we owe every person who stayed,” Odin said in its announcement.

Users can enable the new security options through the platform’s settings by navigating to Settings, Security and Two-Factor Authentication. Odin recommends users activate both an authenticator app and passkey protection for additional account security.

If you find value in what we publish—whether it’s deep dives into dApps, explainers on decentralised tech, or just keeping track of what’s moving in Web3—please consider making a donation. It helps us cover costs, stay consistent, and remain truly independent.

Your support goes a long way.

Every contribution helps keep the lights on, the stories flowing, and the crypto clutter out.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and being part of this experiment in decentralised media.
