The inherent weakness of existing encpryption techniques may be solved by a new quantum-driven model called CURBy.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder, has developed the Colorado University Randomness Beacon (CURBy)—a groundbreaking quantum random number generator that produces verifiably true randomness using quantum entanglement. Unlike classical pseudo-random number generators, CURBy leverages quantum mechanics to create fundamentally unpredictable outputs.

Why are once-dominant ransomware gangs collapsing at such a rapid pace?

The ransomware landscape is experiencing unprecedented turbulence in 2025, characterized by the rapid collapse of once-dominant groups, hostile takeovers, and internal betrayals. This upheaval has exposed deep instability within the cybercriminal ecosystem, as major ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) outfits such as RansomHub, LockBit, Everest, and BlackLock have faced abrupt shutdowns, operational failures, and even public defacements of their dark web infrastructure. What brought these powerful groups to their knees?
