Cisco shares dropped 8.4% on Thursday, as the networking equipment vendor’s better-than-expected earnings report and strong guidance failed to impress Wall Street. The company said revenue in the current quarter will be between $18 billion and $18.2 billion, topping the $16.8 billion average estimate, according to LSEG.

Although the prompt injection attack seems ineffective at this point, Spader warned that prompt injection “was not among the dangers we contemplated” when courts were first grappling with AI scrambling justice systems. In Connecticut, like many other court systems, the focus so far has been on policing AI outputs that damage trust in courts, like hallucinated citations or fabricated quotes, not inputs like prompt injections.

If not, attorneys may find their own clients using…

The implication is that it is either undervalued or not being run well, and often both. British bosses are getting more of this uninvited attention. Merger proposals targeting UK groups are already at an eight-year peak in 2026, according to Dealogic. EasyJet, Schroders, Tate & Lyle, Segro and Intertek are among the trophies picked up by foreign buyers. But activism is rising too: the UK was the number-three destination for…
