Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

just bought clipster.com domain for $100K.
It took us 13 months of back and forth.
Right when i was about to give up, the deal went through.
We’re growing fast and I’d rather own the domain now than pay millions later.

we paid $3,500,000 for clarity .com
Good buy or waste of money? @claritymovescap

This video has genuinely shattered me.💔
How can anyone raise their hands against a young girl who is simply trying to make her voice heard? The cruelty is beyond comprehension. She deserves protection, dignity, and compassion. NOT THIS NIGHTMARE.
What a disgrace.

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

ALT India: All those arbitrarily detained must be immediately and unconditionally released

Before you go spend more 10 Euro bills on a sleeper ccTLD, keep in mind that UNLIKE .ai Google does not view .si as a generic ccTLD. Which makes it completely useless for non-Slovenian focused content.

You just raised a seed round. Congratulations. I can't say it enough, go buy your exact .com before it costs 50x more.
Great brands don't negotiate for domains later they lock them in early.

Lovable.dev أصبح Lovable.com 👀
مؤخرا أعلنت شركة Lovable عن ترقية دومينها والانتقال من:
Lovable.dev → Lovable.com
والمثال جميل جدا لفهم فكرة ترقية الدومينات Domain Upgrade.
Lovable لم تنتظر حتى تحصل على الدوت كوم لكي تبدأ، بل بدأت بـ Lovable.dev واستطاعت من خلاله بناء شركة ضخمة في مجال الـAI.
اليوم الشركة وصلت إلى تقييم 13.3 مليار دولار بعد جولة استثمارية جديدة بقيمة 400 مليون دولار.
وبعد كل هذا النجاح جاء الدور على الدومين 😁
تم تأمين:
Lovable.com
النقطة المثيرة هنا أن الدومين لم يكن متاحا أصلا، بل كان مستخدما من طرف شركة إيطالية تحمل نفس الاسم، وهذه الشركة انتقلت حاليا إلى Lovable.it.
يعني على الأغلب كانت هناك عملية استحواذ واتفاق بين الطرفين للحصول على الدومين.
أما السعر؟
إلى حدود الساعة لم يتم الإعلان عن سعر شراء Lovable.com.
وبالنظر إلى أن الدومين عبارة عن كلمة إنجليزية قوية، Exact Match لاسم الشركة، وكان مستخدما بالفعل من طرف شركة أخرى، ومع وجود مشتري وصلت قيمته إلى أكثر من 13 مليار دولار…
فمن المؤكد أن معرفة سعر الصفقة ستكون مثيرة للاهتمام 😁
وهذه القصة توضح نقطة أكررها دائما حول ترقية الدومينات.
ليس ضروريا أن تبدأ شركتك بأفضل دومين ممكن.
ممكن تبدأ بـ .io أو .ai أو .dev أو أي امتداد مناسب، وتبني مشروعك بشكل عادي.
لكن كلما كبر البراند، يصبح تأمين Exact Match .COM أكثر أهمية.
لأنك في النهاية إذا كان اسم شركتك Lovable، فأقوى دومين يمكنك امتلاكه هو ببساطة:
Lovable.com
والآن السؤال للدومينرز 👇
لو كان Lovable.com عندك، وعرفت أن المشتري شركة قيمتها 13.3 مليار دولار…
بكم كنت ستبيع الدومين؟ 😁

We just bought the domain Stan.Com for $750,000 😳
When I first started Stan, I was so broke that the best domain I could afford was StanWith.Me 🫠
Eventually we got Stan.Store and that was a huge win.
Stan.Com tried to charge us hundreds of thousands of dollar. But we were a tiny company barely making $500k.
I still remember thinking, "lol I will never pay that for a domain".
So there's something really special about this moment.
The most special part though is that Alyssa Williams, our first ever business hire, got the deal done.
Alyssa's been with us in the trenches since day one, back before we had anything.
It's a beautiful full circle moment for all of us.
It might sound silly, but I'm realizing buying Stan.Com is a beautiful symbol of grinding for years, and then seeing the fruits of your labor manifest into the real world.
So this is your reminder that you can start with a shitty domain like StanWith.Me, no money, and tons of people doubting you.
And one day - you can have an incredible team, incredible mission, and a 4 letter .com domain ;)
Onwards and upwards Stan team!

Dana White says he refused to buy the UFC domain from User Friendly Computers for $20,000 and would end up paying nearly $200,000
“This guy owned User Friendly Computers, and this was my first big business mistake. So I called him up, and we wanted to buy the .com from him. I don’t remember the number, but he wanted something like $20,000, and I motherfucked him up and down. ‘You piece of shit. $20,000!’ He’s like, ‘Fuck you,’ and he hangs up the phone”
“We battled for years, but the UFC just starts to go [up]. We ended up paying some crazy number, like $150,000 or $200,000, for the thing eventually, when I should have taken it for $20,000 in the beginning”

What are the top 3 things you look for when buying domain names?
I'll start -
1. Brandability
2. Stats - cpm / cpc / tlds / related
3. Target Market
Sharing is caring! 😁

Buy the .com. Go into a little debt if you have to. The right domain name is one of the few cheap things early on that you'll never regret paying up for, and one of the most expensive things to fix later.

DomainGang reported that Boxtainer Inc. filed a UDRP against Boxtainers.com, alleging a copycat container-related site and passing off.
The case is another reminder that adding an “s” to a brand can create serious trademark exposure when the domain is used in the same market.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
