Seven passenger planes in Europe, including two that departed from the UK, were inspected after a series of suspected bomb threats.

Binance said hackers compromised a computer through a bogus job interview, then used an internal AI tool to take control of company wallets and drain $6.3 billion. The incident could be the largest financial heist ever.
Nearly $11 billion left Binance over 46 hours after a record hack, though CEO Richard Teng said hourly deposits were beginning to surpass withdrawals.

Google plans to let schools decide whether to enable its AI tools in classrooms. Education products will have them off by default, with administrators able to switch them on manually in the coming months. But disabling AI also means losing Google Search, with no option to choose products individually.

Schools cannot turn off Google’s AI features without also disabling Search. Google says the tools are deeply integrated and will test Guided Learning in AI Overviews at select US schools this month.
Because AI features are now built into Google Search, schools that choose to restrict AI entirely will no longer be able to access the search engine.
