Carney bearing gifts

Prime Minister Mark Carney, right, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, centre, and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store examine a small model of a TKMS submarine before meeting in Ankara, Turkey. Carney bearing gifts On his way to the NATO summit in Ankara last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney stopped in Halifax to announce the largest defence procurement in Canadian history. Canada had picked Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems as the “preferred bidder” to build up to twelve submarines, beating out its only rival, South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean and its KSS-III boat. The reported price is around $24 billion for the submarines themselves, and by some estimates as much as $100 billion once decades of maintenance, weapons and infrastructure are folded in. The 212CD is a joint German-Norwegian design, and both countries agreed to give up their own places in the delivery queue so that Canada’s first boats could arrive by 2034, with a final contract targeted for the end of 2027.

KDDI disclosed exposure affecting more than 12 million email accounts, nearly seven million drivers entered fraud-notification workflows after an insurer account takeover, and GigaWiper demonstrated how a successful intrusion can end in permanent destruction rather than negotiation. Active attacks against ColdFusion servers added a short patch clock, while Medtronic’s breach kept healthcare trust and long-lived fraud risk in view. Across the issue, the repeated pattern is concentration: one employee account, one shared email platform, one exposed server, or one overly trusted automation path can create impact far beyond the original foothold.

*********************************************** Signal Over Noise Vol 2, Issue 27 | Jul 10 2026 *********************************************** Don’t have time to read this week’s issue? Why not copy/paste it into your AI agent and ask it for insights? More than twenty years ago, I sat with a class of eleven- and twelve-year-olds and tried to show them what “connected to the internet” actually meant. We went looking on the file-sharing networks of the day - Napster, Kazaa - where people shared their music out of folders on their own machines. Within half an hour, we’d found someone’s CV sitting in the same open folder as their MP3s, with their full name, address, work history, there for anyone who wandered past. They probably hadn’t meant to share it, they’d just left the folder open and never thought about who else could see in. That was around 2003, but the door has never really closed since, it's just taken on a different form. This week I accessed someone else's documents using…

Supply Chain Developer endpoint inventory in 10 minutes: Bumblebee Hive Oluwatobi Afolabi shares Bumblebee Hive, a fork of Perplexity AI's on-disk package scanner Bumblebee (covered in issue #333) that adds a fleet inventory system UI. Bumblebee scans for the packages developers have installed on their machines across npm, PyPI, Go packages, VS Code extensions, browser add-ons, and MCP server configs, and Hive adds an ingest server and React dashboard where you can view the results. 💡 Neat to see the quick iteration from Perplexity open sourcing Bumblebee. I’m optimistic about more “benefit of the commons” from companies open sourcing interesting security tools/ideas → coding agents can rapidly extend or customize to another company’s environment.
