    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The increasing adoption of drones in commercial sectors is leading to a revolution in big data cloud services. Launching a drone to capture images is the preliminary step in the drone information acquisition process. The captured images then require correction, calibration, processing, storage, and efficient evaluation. The increasing need to evaluate imagery is a key factor driving the adoption of drone imagery software and cloud-based applications, which possess the ability to upload, share, store, and process aerial images. Moreover, there has been a steep increase in the use of cloud-based in-memory computing platform amongst businesses as it accelerates analytics, processes, and predictive capabilities. The global drone data service market size is expected to reach USD 15.05 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 39.0% through 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth can be attributed to the growing usage of information acquired by drones in operational and big data analytics. The increasing need for UAV imagery analysis is presumed to impact the global drone imagery processing software industry positively and add a new horizon in imagery storage technologies. The report said: “By gathering information on a larger scale, service providers can now process unprecedented levels of detailed information and turn it into actionable information. UAV companies, such as PrecisionHawk, are transforming their business processes to enhance their focus on drone data processing rather than UAV manufacturing.” Active Companies in the markets today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), and AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS).

    Other recent developments in the markets include:

    TB2 Aerospace LLC, in collaboration with Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), a drone solutions, and systems developer, recently said it is proud to announce the successful deployment and performance of the Drone Recharging Operational Payload System (DROPS) during the U.S. Army’s Sustainment Modernization Experiment 2025 (SMEX25).

    Throughout SMEX25’s week-long field exercises, the DROPS system, integrated with Draganfly’s Commander 3XL, achieved a 100% success rate in autonomously deploying, recovering, and recharging TB2’s tactical resupply pods. The event provided an opportunity to validate real-world operational performance in austere and high-demand scenarios, drawing praise from defence evaluators and technology observers alike.

    “The successful deployment of DROPS at SMEX25 underscores our commitment to advancing autonomous logistics solutions,” said Hank Scott, CEO of TB2 Aerospace. “Our system’s performance in a live operational environment validates its potential to revolutionize military tactical resupply and contested logistics.”

    Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), a leader in AI-powered security solutions, is honored to recently be featured in a recent investigative piece by Grist Magazine, titled “How 3 Years of War Have Ravaged Ukraine’s Forests, and the People Who Depend on Them.”

    Safe Pro AI is helping lead a critical technological response to one of the war’s deadliest and most enduring legacies: land mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). Utilizing AI and drone-based remote sensing, Safe Pro is working alongside humanitarian organizations and government partners to rapidly detect, map, and facilitate the safer and more efficient removal of UXO. This technology can be especially valuable in areas where land mines have triggered catastrophic wildfires, endangering both people and the environment. According to a report published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Ukraine has experienced profound socio-economic disruption due to the conflict’s impact on key sectors including timber production with losses amounting to approximately €447.73 million. The primary damages involve the destruction of infrastructure, equipment, and substantial harm to protected natural areas, estimated at over €2.3 billion. Restoring this potential will require considerable effort and resources.

    Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY) recently announced that its Black Hornet® 4 Personal Reconnaissance System has successfully completed the required NDAA and cyber security verification process and been approved for the Blue UAS List with an Authority to Operate.

The Blue UAS List gives users access to a wide range of drone systems that can meet their diverse needs. In February, Teledyne FLIR announced that Black Hornet 4 was selected by DoD operators from among more than 35 uncrewed aerial system (UAS) products, all rigorously tested during DIU’s ‘Blue UAS Refresh’ event.

    “We are honored to see Black Hornet 4 added to the Blue UAS List, knowing that more operators across our military and federal government will be able to benefit from this one-of-a-kind drone and its distinct capabilities,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne FLIR Defense. “DIU is filling a critical national need in meeting mission requirements by executing a more expansive Blue UAS program, and we have valued our partnership with them throughout the verification process.”

    AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, recently announced the sale of two additional eBee X drones to South Korea, expanding the country’s installed base of AgEagle’s eBee drones to more than 100 units.

    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syncfusion®, Inc., the enterprise technology provider of choice, today announced significant updates to BoldDesk®, its customer service and help desk ticketing platform. This release includes new, AI-driven automation features that shorten response time, reduce manual work, and give developers greater control over customer-support data.

    “BoldDesk began as an in-house project built by our own engineers to organize the daily support queue, and that personal experience shapes every iteration,” said Daniel Jebaraj, CEO of Syncfusion. “The latest enhancements focus on harnessing AI to do the busywork, while preserving the transparency, governance, and open-API flexibility support teams expect.”

    These enhancements advance the BoldDesk Team’s goal to leverage AI for everyday support tasks and streamline agent workflows without adding complexity. The release centers on three themes: action-oriented AI; frictionless ticketing; and unified, omnichannel data. New features include:

    • AI actions execute tasks for you: Copilot can cancel orders, update licenses, and call external APIs directly from a ticket or chat.

  • MIL-OSI: Ascent Solar Technologies Enters Collaborative Agreement Notice with NASA to Advance Development of Thin-Film PV Power Beaming Capabilities

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    THORNTON, Colo., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ascent Solar Technologies (Nasdaq: ASTI) (“Ascent” or the “Company”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacture of featherweight, flexible, and durable CIGS thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, announced today that the company is commencing work on a Collaborative Agreement Notice (CAN) with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and support from NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to efficiently advance capabilities for receiving beamed power using CIGS PV modules.

    The CAN program targets rapid iterative development to mature commercial products for enabling mission architectures to include beamed power. The public-private partnership includes Ascent contributing design and prototyping services with NASA providing technical subject matter expertise and test services through combined MSFC & GRC efforts. This 12-month technology maturation will result in commercial products being made available for distributed space power infrastructure, drastically lowering the cost, complexity and risk of NASA missions.

    Launched in 2023, NASA’s Psyche Mission has demonstrated deep space laser communications across 19 million miles of space, validating the efficacy of tight-beaming technologies over vast distances. Bench-testing conducted by NASA MSFC in 2024 demonstrated receiving beamed power using Ascent’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as a preceding validation of the technology prior to the CAN award.

    The CAN is evaluating the ability of Ascent’s CIGS PV modules to generate power while illuminated by energy-dense beams of light, with goals to convert more usable power from the equivalent of tens of Earth’s Sun. The ability to remotely receive 10x more power on-demand while using the same PV cells tasked with collecting sunlight can significantly reduce solar array mass and volume required to meet mission power needs. In practice, this suggests that beamed-power architectures can lead to reductions of both spacecraft mass and volume budgets. These size efficiencies will result in agency payloads proportionally increasing relative to the spacecraft as a whole, thus allowing the prioritization of more technology, science and exploration within limited mission budgets.

    Planetary missions require advanced surface mobility logistics and depend on power generation subsystems that comprise a substantial proportion of the landed downmass. It is here where Ascent technology poses a potential solution for reducing spacecraft power system mass and volume needs, creating a significant impact on the overall mission.

    The CAN’s goals include increasing the array power output while lengthening the operational duty cycles to verify that improvements to this emerging technology can help enable NASA to effectively and efficiently achieve the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) missions, Artemis campaign to the Moon, and planetary science objectives. This includes enabling surviving the lunar night as well as powering remote access to areas of scientific interest such as cold traps and permanently shadowed regions on the Moon (PSRs) where water, the potential key to lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), is believed to be located in high concentrations. Ultimately, this could lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the downmass required to access expensive space exploration and science mission destinations. The going rate for robotic landers on the Moon is between 6 & 7-figures per kilogram delivered to the lunar surface, equating to upwards of tens of millions of potential savings per lander mission.

    “This collaboration with NASA further bolsters our longstanding belief that the unique capabilities of thin-film solar technology will play an integral role in overcoming the challenges of reliably converting solar energy and also receive beamed power in a breadth of harsh space environments,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Through our work together, we plan to bring an even more capable product line to market that will reduce mission costs and complexities while improving PV efficiency, making our technology a crucial piece of future space missions.”

    This cross-NASA-center teaming is demonstrative of rallying together with commercial partners to achieve the agency’s broader Lunar program goals. Beamed power stands to allow NASA program dollars to accomplish more at a fraction of the cost. With 55 countries having signed the Artemis Accords since 2020, the establishment of critical Lunar infrastructure with less resources required facilitates achieving more together with international partners.

  • MIL-OSI: Hyperscale Data Highlights AI Infrastructure Growth and Corporate Transition in Stockholder Letter

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today issued the following letter to its stockholders from its Founder and Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault III.

    Dear Stockholders,

    As the Founder and Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, I want to share important updates on our strategic direction and the substantial opportunities we believe lie ahead.

    Undervalued Opportunity in a Booming Sector

    Recent market activity highlights the substantial value potential of our Michigan data center facility (the “Michigan Facility”). We have seen recent transactions, such as Applied Digital Corporation (“Applied”) securing a long-term hosting contract with CoreWeave which is expected to generate over $7 billion in aggregate revenue for Applied over 15 years based on the delivery of 250 megawatts (“MW”) of critical power infrastructure over 15 years for artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) services.

    We are actively pursuing similar hosting agreements and believe our Michigan Facility would be highly attractive to top tier hyperscale tenants seeking long-term leases if we meet our objective of scaling our Michigan Facility to 340 MW of power, as discussed below. Our discussions have included well-capitalized companies in the industry, and we are confident in our ability to secure strategic partnerships that could deliver meaningful revenue growth over the next 8 to 12 years.

    We believe our 617,000-square-foot Michigan Facility, which we are targeting to scale up to 340 MW of power, represents a highly strategic and significantly undervalued asset for supporting large-scale AI and HPC workloads.

    In February 2025, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”), reached an agreement in principle with its primary local utility to expand available power from approximately 30 MW to 300 MW. Completion of this upgrade is expected to take approximately 44 months from the execution of a formal letter of authorization, which is currently under negotiation.

    Additionally, ACS has reached an agreement in principle with the local natural gas utility to supply an extra 40 MW of power. This portion of the project is expected to be completed within 18 months of executing definitive agreements. In total, these upgrades would expand the facility’s capacity to approximately 340 MW, positioning Hyperscale Data to serve as a major AI and HPC infrastructure hub.

    Strategic Separation and Leadership Transition

    We intend to complete our previously announced separation from Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”) by year-end 2025. After the separation, Hyperscale Data will operate as a standalone, publicly traded infrastructure company focused on delivering AI and digital asset compute solutions.

    Following the separation of ACG, I will step away from Hyperscale Data to focus almost exclusively on leading ACG and its growing portfolio of businesses, which include private credit, AI software, social gaming, equipment rental, aerospace and defense, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma, and hospitality operations.

    Upon my departure, William Horne, our Chief Executive Officer, is expected to continue in his current role and assume the position of Chairman of the Board. Mr. Horne has been instrumental in driving our operational progress and strategic vision, and I am confident in his leadership as Hyperscale Data enters its next chapter.

    Bridging the Valuation Gap

    We believe the market significantly undervalues our business, particularly given the transformative potential of our Michigan Facility. As our strategy advances and the AI infrastructure market continues to evolve, we expect the gap between our intrinsic value and current market capitalization to narrow, creating meaningful long-term value for our stockholders.

    That said, our strategy is not without risk. Successful execution will require considerable capital investment and the ability to secure long-term partnerships with leading technology firms. Completion of the power upgrades is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, one or more which could result in the project being curtailed, delayed or terminated, including, but not limited to: failure to agree upon terms and execute definitive agreements; the inability of the Company or ACS to raise sufficient funds to pay for the power upgrades and other expenditures; failure to obtain regulatory consents and approvals; the inability to obtain sufficient easements, rights-of-way and land rights necessary to the work to be performed, and other presently unforeseen events or conditions.

    In Closing

    Thank you for your continued support and confidence in our vision. We remain committed to delivering long-term value through strategic execution and disciplined investment in next-generation infrastructure.

    Sincerely,

    Milton “Todd” Ault III
    Founder and Executive Chairman
    Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

    Hyperscale Data expects to divest itself of ACG on or about December 31, 2025 (the “Divestiture”). Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support HPC services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

    On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

  • MIL-OSI: Half of Enterprise Windows Endpoints Have Not Yet Migrated to Windows 11, According to ControlUp Study

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ControlUp, a global leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX) management tools, today announced new findings from its Windows 11 Readiness report, revealing that 50% of enterprise Windows endpoints have yet to complete their migration to Windows 11. This marks a significant improvement from last year’s data, when over 82% of enterprise devices were not running Windows 11. With just under four months remaining until Microsoft officially ends support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, the data highlights both encouraging progress and critical gaps in enterprise readiness across industries, geographies, and organization sizes.

    “While the 50% completion mark is a major milestone, it’s not time to relax,” said Marcel Calef, Americas Field CTO, ControlUp. “With Windows 10 end of support just months away, organizations need to act now to avoid being caught off guard. Our data shows that the rate of migration is uneven, and many enterprises still face significant hardware and planning challenges.”

    Industry Disparities Highlight Readiness Gaps

    ControlUp’s analysis of over one million enterprise endpoints shows that Education and Technology sectors are leading the migration, with 77% and 73% of their devices already running Windows 11, respectively. In contrast, Healthcare (41%) and Finance (45%) are falling behind. A deeper look reveals that 19% of Healthcare endpoints need to be replaced entirely before they can support Windows 11, compared to just 3% in Finance.

    Americas Trail Behind Europe and Other Regions

    By region, the Americas are furthest behind, with only 43% of enterprise endpoints upgraded to Windows 11, even though 87% of those devices are Windows 11 ready. Europe leads all regions at 70% completion, followed by other global regions at 66%. These regional differences could impact multinational organizations’ ability to maintain consistency and security across their environments.

    Larger Enterprises Facing the Greatest Hurdles

    ControlUp’s data also reveals that very large organizations (with over 10K Windows devices) are the least prepared for the end of Windows 10 support, with just 42% of migrations completed. These organizations often have complex IT environments and a higher volume of legacy hardware, making early assessments and planning essential.

    “ControlUp’s Windows 11 readiness assessment tool helps IT teams instantly evaluate endpoint compatibility, identify upgrade opportunities, and flag devices needing replacement, all from a single dashboard,” Calef added.

    The Windows 11 Readiness report, available through ControlUp’s Windows 11 Readiness Assessment tool, is built into the ControlUp for Desktops solution—designed to improve the digital employee experience across physical and cloud-based endpoint devices.

    ControlUp’s findings are based on a sample set of more than one million enterprise Windows endpoint devices under management as of June 2025. Additional insights can be found here.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Gross Domestic Product, 1st Quarter 2025 (Third Estimate), GDP by Industry, and Corporate Profits (Revised)

    Source: US Bureau of Economic Analysis

    Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 0.5 percent in the first quarter of 2025 (January, February, and March), according to the third estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter of 2024, real GDP increased 2.4 percent.

    The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected an increase in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and a decrease in government spending. These movements were partly offset by increases in investment and consumer spending.

    Real GDP was revised down 0.3 percentage point from the second estimate, primarily reflecting downward revisions to consumer spending and exports that were partly offset by a downward revision to imports. For more information, refer to the “Technical Notes” below.

    Compared to the fourth quarter, the downturn in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected an upturn in imports, a deceleration in consumer spending, and a downturn in government spending that were partly offset by an upturn in investment.

    Real final sales to private domestic purchasers, the sum of consumer spending and gross private fixed investment, increased 1.9 percent in the first quarter, revised down 0.6 percentage point from the previous estimate.

    From an industry perspective, the decrease in real GDP reflected decreases of 2.8 percent in real value added for private goods-producing industries and 0.3 percent for private services-producing industries that were partly offset by an increase of 2.0 percent in real value added for government.

    Real gross output increased 0.6 percent in the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 1.1 percent for private services-producing industries that was partly offset by decreases of 0.6 percent for private goods-producing industries and 0.6 percent for government.

    The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 3.4 percent in the first quarter, revised up 0.1 percentage point from the previous estimate. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 3.7 percent, and the PCE price index excluding food and energy increased 3.5 percent, both 0.1 percentage point higher than previously estimated.

    Real gross domestic income (GDI) increased 0.2 percent in the first quarter, revised up 0.4 percentage point from the previous estimate.

    Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) decreased $90.6 billion in the first quarter, an upward revision of $27.5 billion.

    Sources of revisions to real GDP in the third estimate

    Real GDP decreased at an annual rate of 0.5 percent (0.1 percent at a quarterly rate1) in the first quarter, a downward revision of 0.3 percentage point from the previous estimate, primarily reflecting downward revisions to consumer spending and exports that were partly offset by a downward revision to imports.

    • Within consumer spending, the largest contributor to the revision was services, led by recreation services and transportation services, based on new and revised first-quarter data from the Census Bureau Quarterly Services Survey, as well as other services (led by international travel), based on revised data from BEA’s International Transactions Accounts (ITAs).
    • For both exports and imports, the revised estimates primarily reflected updated data from BEA’s ITAs.
      • Within exports, the downward revision was to services, led by other business services and charges for the use of intellectual property.
      • Within imports, the revision reflected downward revisions to both services (led by other business services) and goods (led by industrial supplies and materials as well as by capital goods, except automotive).

    More information on the source data and BEA assumptions that underlie the first-quarter estimate is shown in the key source data and assumptions table.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cybersecurity feature Threat Protection Pro™, included in the leading VPN application NordVPN, has once again been recognized as one of the top tools for detecting phishing websites in an independent test conducted by AV-Comparatives.

    “Phishing websites are one of the biggest threats to internet users worldwide. They steal personal data, login credentials, and financial information from unsuspecting users before redirecting them or disappearing entirely. We put our greatest effort into protecting our customers from the consequences caused by these sites,” says Domininkas Virbickas, product director at Threat Protection.

    AV-Comparatives, an independent testing lab, conducted an extensive test between May 15-28, 2025, to evaluate the effectiveness of various cybersecurity products in detecting and blocking phishing websites. The company certified 10 solutions against 228 phishing URLs and 200 clean ones to see how well they could protect users. NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro™ detected 90% of phishing websites.

    Last year, NordVPN became the first VPN service provider to be approved by AV-Comparatives for anti-phishing protection, and this year we got tested again to remain the only VPN provider with such certification.

    To be approved by AV-Comparatives for Anti-Phishing Protection, at least 85% of the phishing URLs used must be detected and blocked, without causing any false alarms with legitimate online banking and related sites.

    How to recognize phishing websites and protect yourself

    While Threat Protection Pro™ is a powerful safeguard, phishing attacks are always evolving. Practicing good cyber hygiene is just as important.

    Here are a few simple tips to stay safe online:

    • Verify the URL. Always check the URL in your browser’s address bar. Look for variations in the domain name that might indicate it’s a fake site. Did it send you to a subpage, even though you should be on the homepage? Does it have a suspicious prefix?
    • Read the text carefully. If you have even the slightest suspicion, go over the email or message once more. Was it unsolicited? Is it urging you to do something, trying to induce panic? Does it have any typos or other mistakes?
    • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring an additional authentication step, like a one-time code sent to your phone, before you can log in. Even if a hacker gets your password, they won’t be able to access your account without this second factor.
    • Check the website’s protocol. Ensure that the website you’re on uses the HTTPS protocol. Legitimate websites prioritize security and will have a padlock icon in the address bar, but a website with a spoofed URL might only use HTTP.

    NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro™ is available with every subscription, helping users browse more securely every day.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow introduces artificial intelligence to detect hip osteoarthritis on X-rays.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Moscow has introduced a new artificial intelligence service to its healthcare system to detect signs of hip osteoarthritis in medical images, making it the 41st modality in which neural networks are helping radiologists, said Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

    The artificial intelligence algorithm developed by specialists at the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine has undergone thorough testing and is now integrated into the Unified Radiological Information Service (ERIS). “The algorithm automatically identifies potential signs of osteoarthritis – narrowing of the joint space, thickening of the bone, bone spurs, highlighting the affected areas and taking precise measurements,” she said.

    “Currently, artificial intelligence is used in 40 clinical modalities in Moscow. These innovations speed up diagnostics, increase accuracy and reduce the workload of radiologists.”

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage degradation and bone remodeling. It is common among older people, but can occur at any age. A new artificial intelligence service deployed in Moscow helps radiologists identify key signs of hip OA, including joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis (bone thickening), and osteophyte formation. Such automation reduces the time it takes to interpret images, improves diagnostic accuracy, and allows for earlier therapeutic intervention.

    “The AI service improves the efficiency of early detection of hip arthrosis, which allows for timely initiation of treatment and improved patient outcomes.”

    Yuri Vasiliev, chief consultant in radiology at the Moscow Department of Health, emphasized the clinical effect: “Accurate imaging assessment of hip osteoarthritis allows us to accurately determine the stage of hip OA and justify treatment strategies, such as recommendations for activity and pharmacotherapy. The main clinical signs of osteoarthritis include pain when moving and decreased range of motion in the affected joints.”

    The introduction of AI is the result of Moscow’s five-year efforts to introduce computer vision into healthcare. More than 200 AI services have been tested, and about 100 algorithms have been included in the URIS UMIAS system. Currently, about 50 AI tools analyze medical images in real time, increasing the speed and quality of diagnostics in 40 clinical areas.

    The project is a joint effort between the Moscow Social Development Complex, the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine, and the city’s Department of Information Technology, highlighting Moscow’s commitment to using artificial intelligence to improve healthcare.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Vocabulary that came out of the office: what has the rise in popularity of psychology led to

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    The Higher School of Economics hosted a round table entitled “Psychotherapeutic Lexicon in the Public Space,” which brought together psychologists, linguists, sociologists, and cultural scientists. They discussed the role of psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic terms in the life of a modern person, as well as the influence of AI on this area.

    There is a disturbing tendency in society to turn psychological vocabulary into an instrument of aggression, noted the head of the department, opening the round table “Psychotherapeutic vocabulary in the public space”. Scientific and educational laboratory of linguistic conflictology and modern communication practices, Research Professor Schools of Philological Sciences Faculty of Humanities HSE Maxim Krongauz.

    Words intended to help in therapy, such as “devaluation,” “abuse,” “bullying,” “victim blaming,” “gaslighting,” and “toxic,” are increasingly used to scapegoat, creating an atmosphere of “invitation to execution.”

    “This aggressiveness of words, which seem to come from such a noble area, where, perhaps, in a figurative sense, they treat people, is suspicious. Why do they treat with such aggressive words?” Krongauz asked. Referring to psychotherapist Daniil Ostrovsky, he pointed out the danger of transferring therapeutic principles to public ethics.

    Fyodor Konorov, a teacher and supervisor at the Moscow Gestalt Institute, noted the explosive growth of the therapeutic field, which has led to the fact that “anyone can now call themselves a psychologist,” creating risks of incorrect use of terminology. He also drew attention to the fact that vocabulary “coming out of psychologists’ offices” is not new, but now, along with it, words that are pseudo-diagnoses (“bipolar,” “anxiety”) are actively used. He concluded that this deprives a person of the opportunity to deal with their feelings differently.

    Research Fellow Department of Psychology Faculty of Social Sciences HSE Irina Bulanova presented the results of a study on how young people use psychotherapeutic vocabulary. She identified four main functions.

    The first is overcoming experiences. Young people use terms to make it easier to understand their inner world and communicate with others.

    The second is the normative function, when vocabulary defines social norms related to psychological health, but can lead to the marginalization of those who do not meet these norms.

    The third is the function of social identity: young people identify themselves as representatives of a certain group, distinct from the older generation.

    The fourth is the instrumental function. Here, vocabulary is used to regulate social interactions, especially in situations of emotional tension.

    “Naming itself, to a certain extent, helps to facilitate… And the most important thing is that they develop a language with which they can communicate with each other about the contents of their inner world, and it seems that this has an even greater coping effect,” noted Irina Bulanova.

    She believes that such vocabulary may contain social norms related to psychological health. Despite the benefits in overcoming difficulties and normalizing experiences, excessive use of vocabulary may lead to the formation of rigid social norms and potential conflicts between generations.

    “It seems to me that this is a subject for a separate study, but, in truth, it is very interesting not only the content, but also the structure of these norms, how strict they are, and how much we thereby contribute to some marginalization of those who do not fit into this norm,” she concluded.

    Associate Professor Department of Analysis of Social Institutions Oksana Mikhailova, a professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, spoke about the “therapeutic turn” in culture, when psychology is becoming increasingly popular and influential. She noted that the media plays a dual role, both in disseminating knowledge about psychology and in simplifying and distorting it.

    “Media managers and media culture producers realized that if they take into account some rules transmitted by psychology, they will be able to attract more attention from the audience. And so, in fact, they began to involve them in content production,” Oksana Mikhailova explained.

    She also noted that individualization associated with therapeutic culture can lead to ignoring social problems: “We don’t notice some problems that actually have social prerequisites when we use this therapeutic language. That is, we begin to think that everything depends only on us.”

    The sociologist identified such negative aspects of this process as individualization of problems, excessive interest in oneself, pathologizing of the normal, increased anxiety, cognitivism, self-discipline (in the context of social order) and increased inequality. At the same time, she also noted positive trends: drawing attention to problems, democratization of gender roles, use of terms in social movements.

    Oksana Moroz, a cultural scientist and associate professor at the British Higher School of Art and Design and Tyumen State University, analyzed how the concept of boundaries is discussed in various online contexts — from quality press to brand media and social networks. She pointed out that the appropriation of therapeutic vocabulary occurs not only at the level of individual words, but also at the level of the therapeutic plot. At the same time, there is a tendency toward universalization, in which the construction of boundaries occurs based on one signal of discomfort.

    She also emphasized that the use of psychological vocabulary can be a way to form an emotional community, but often becomes a tool for commodification and obtaining social capital. This tendency, the expert believes, leads to difficulties in defining the boundaries of what is permitted, erasing the line between constructive criticism and bullying. “The best way to protect your own boundaries is to say that I know how to protect my own boundaries. And if you ask me questions about how I do it wrong, you will, of course, violate them,” the expert noted.

    Researcher at the Research and Educational Laboratory of Linguistic Conflictology and Modern Communicative Practices of the Faculty of Humanities at the National Research University Higher School of Economics Elizaveta Gromenko presented a linguistic analysis of psychotherapeutic vocabulary in the Russian language of the 21st century. She noted that in recent years there has been an increase in the use of words such as “abuse”, “trauma”, “mindfulness”, and that these words are acquiring new meanings, especially borrowings.

    “All these words have long been present in the Russian language, but in the 21st century they acquire a new meaning under the influence of psychological practice, when a person turns to categorizing some of his internal processes,” Gromenko explained.

    She also noted that “trauma” and “mindfulness” have become key concepts in psychotherapeutic vocabulary and that the entire beginning of the 21st century is taking place under their auspices. Many words that appeared in the early 2000s have begun to actively adapt since 2015 and generate derivatives, such as “abuser,” “gaslighter,” and “toxic.”

    Irina Fufaeva, a research fellow at the Research and Educational Laboratory of Linguistic Conflictology and Modern Communication Practices, shared her experience of interacting with AI as a psychotherapist, noting a change in the trend in patients’ self-designations. While game designations (“bipolar,” “borderline”) were popular before, now there is a refusal to build identity through illness. She noted that AI in support mode (without censure and moralization) is met with acceptance and gives coaching advice. She emphasized that interaction with artificial intelligence as a psychotherapist can create the illusion of support for employees, but the lack of empathy and contextuality can lead to undesirable consequences.

    Leading researcher at the Research and Educational Laboratory of Linguistic Conflictology and Modern Communicative Practices Valery Shulginov conducted an experiment to test how language models understand the concept of abuse. He found that models often tend to agree with users, which can lead to false positive diagnostics. To improve efficiency, it is necessary to use non-standard role-playing situations, but the training of AI can create traps for users.

    The participants of the seminar agreed that further development of methods of teaching and educating the population in the field of correct use of psychological terminology is necessary. It is advisable to create interdisciplinary teams of scientists who will be able to thoroughly study and systematize existing trends. A proposal was also made to organize regular seminars and forums aimed at further studying the features of the transformation of Russian speech under the influence of psychological concepts and methods.

  • MIL-OSI: Mattr Corp. Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mattr Corp. (“Mattr” or the “Company”) (TSX: MATR), today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has approved the Company’s notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) for common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

    Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation up to 4,991,584 Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s public float as at June 16, 2025. As at June 16, 2025, the Company had 61,649,707 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The NCIB will commence on June 30, 2025 and terminate one year after its commencement, or earlier if the maximum is reached or the NCIB is terminated at the option of the Company. The Company believes that using the NCIB to return capital to its shareholders will increase shareholder value and further the returns of the Company.

    All purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX, or such other permitted means (including through alternative trading systems in Canada, including NEO-N, NEO-L, NEO-D, Crossing Facility, CSE, ICX, Liquidnet, CXC, CX2, CXD, Omega ATS, Lynx ATS, TSX Venture Exchange, TSX Alpha Exchange and MATCH Now (together, the “Other Exchanges”)), at prevailing market prices or as otherwise permitted. The NCIB will be funded using existing cash resources and any Common Shares repurchased by the Company under the NCIB will be cancelled. Other than purchases made under a block purchase exemption pursuant to the rules and policies of the TSX, daily purchases on the TSX pursuant to the NCIB will be limited to 68,375 Common Shares, which represents approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of 273,500 Common Shares of the Company for the most recently completed six calendar months preceding May 31, 2025.

    The actual number of Common Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company, subject to applicable law and the rules of the TSX and/or the rules of the Other Exchanges, if eligible, to the extent made through such facilities.

    In connection with the NCIB, the Company has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the “Plan”) with a designated broker (the “Broker”) in order to facilitate repurchases of its outstanding Common Shares under the NCIB. The Plan has been approved by the TSX and will be implemented effective as of June 30, 2025.

    Under the Plan, the Broker may purchase Common Shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to, due to its self-imposed regular quarterly black-out periods or special black-out periods. Before the commencement of any particular internal trading black-out period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the Broker to make purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB during the ensuing black-out period in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Such purchases will be determined by the Broker based on parameters established by the Company prior to commencement of the applicable black-out period in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable TSX rules and/or the rules of the Other Exchanges, if eligible, to the extent made through such facilities. Outside of these black-out periods, Common Shares will continue to be purchasable by the Company and the Broker at the Company’s discretion under the NCIB.

    Under the Company’s previous NCIB commencing June 28, 2024, the Company purchased for cancellation a total of 4,982,824 Common Shares, being the maximum number of Common Shares it was authorized to repurchase, through the facilities of the TSX or by such other permitted means, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $65,163,948.95 and at a volume weighted average purchase price of $13.07 per Common Share. The previous NCIB terminated on June 4, 2025, the date the maximum purchase limit had been reached.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Kaspersky: ChatGPT-mimicking cyberthreats surge 115% in early 2025, Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs) increasingly targeted

    In 2025, nearly 8,500 users from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) globally faced cyberattacks where malicious or unwanted software was disguised as popular online productivity tools, Kaspersky reports (www.Kaspersky.co.za). Based on the unique malicious and unwanted files observed, the most common lures included Zoom and Microsoft Office, with newer AI-based services like ChatGPT and DeepSeek being increasingly exploited by attackers. Kaspersky has released threat analysis and mitigation strategies to help SMBs respond. 

    Kaspersky analysts explored how frequently malicious and unwanted software are disguised as legitimate applications commonly used by SMBs, using a sample of 12 online productivity apps. In total, Kaspersky observed more than 4,000 unique malicious and unwanted files disguised as popular apps in 2025. With the growing popularity of AI services, cybercriminals are increasingly disguising malware as AI tools. The number of cyberthreats mimicking ChatGPT increased by 115% in the first four months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, reaching 177 unique malicious and unwanted files. Another popular AI tool, DeepSeek, accounted for 83 files. This large language model launched in 2025 immediately appeared on the list of impersonated tools. 

    “Interestingly, threat actors are rather picky in choosing an AI tool as bait. For example, no malicious files mimicking Perplexity were observed. The likelihood that an attacker will use a tool as a disguise for malware or other types of unwanted software directly depends on the service’s popularity and hype around it. The more publicity and conversation there is around a tool, the more likely a user will come across a fake package on the Internet. To be on the safe side, SMB employees – as well as regular users – should exercise caution when looking for software on the Internet or coming across too-good-to-be-true subscription deals. Always check the correct spelling of the website and links in suspicious emails. In many cases these links may turn out to be phishing or a link that downloads malicious or potentially unwanted software,” says Vasily Kolesnikov, security expert at Kaspersky.  

    Another cybercriminal tactic to look for in 2025 is the growing use of collaboration platform brands to trick users into downloading or launching malware. The number of malicious and unwanted software files disguised as Zoom increased by nearly 13% in 2025, reaching 1,652, while such names as “Microsoft Teams” and “Google Drive” saw increases of 100% and 12%, respectively, with 206 and 132 cases. This pattern likely reflects the normalisation of remote work and geographically distributed teams, which has made these platforms integral to business operations across industries. 

    Among the analysed sample, the highest number of files mimicked Zoom, accounting for nearly 41% of all unique files detected. Microsoft Office applications remained frequent targets for impersonation: Outlook and PowerPoint each accounted for 16%, Excel for nearly 12%, while Word and Teams made up 9% and 5%, respectively. 

    The top threats targeting small and medium businesses in 2025 included downloaders, trojans and adware. 

    Phishing and spam 

    Apart from malware threats, Kaspersky continues to observe a wide range of phishing and scam schemes targeting SMBs. Attackers aim to steal login credentials for various services — from delivery platforms to banking systems — or manipulate victims into sending them money through deceptive tactics. One example is a phishing attempt targeting Google Accounts. Attackers promise potential victims to increase sales by advertising their company on X, with the ultimate goal being to steal their credentials.  

    Beyond phishing, SMBs are flooded with spam emails. Not surprisingly, AI has also made its way into the spam folder — for example, with offers for automating various business processes. 

    In general, Kaspersky observes phishing and spam offers crafted to reflect the typical needs of small businesses, promising attractive deals on email marketing or loans, offering services such as reputation management, content creation, or lead generation, and more. 

    Learn more about the cyber threat landscape for SMBs on Securelist (https://apo-opa.co/3I0itLw). To mitigate threats targeting businesses, their owners and employees are advised to implement the following measures:  

    • Use specialised cybersecurity solutions that provide visibility and control over cloud services (e.g., Kaspersky Next (https://apo-opa.co/4nzvzQm)). 
    • Define access rules for corporate resources such as email accounts, shared folders, and online documents. 
    • Regularly backup important data. 
    • Establish clear guidelines for using external services. Create well-defined procedures for implementing new software with the involvement of IT and other responsible managers.
