SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics just announced a combined shareholder return plan exceeding 130 trillion won. The move signals a structural shift in Korea's memory-chip boom — and a bet that the cycle has a long runway.
A perfect-10 Entra ID vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild before Microsoft patched it — but the company won't say who attacked, what was accessed, or how long the door stayed open. For enterprises running Microsoft identity infrastructure, the silence is the real threat.
