HBO Max will be cracking down on password sharing around the world. The company will expand its enforcement of the practice in 2026.
The streamer first started cracking down on password sharing in the United States late last August. Subscribers are now able to add an additional out-of-household account for $7.99 a month. Before that August change, Warner Bros. Discovery had been testing for months to determine who may or may not be a “legitimate user,” as CEO and President for Warner Bros. Discovery Global Streaming and Games JB Perrette described the plan.

Greater China.
As previously reported, China represented 18% of net sales for Apple in the fourth quarter of 2025. This was up from 15% the year before and the third largest reporting segment. The segment grew by 37.9% year-on-year.
It’s time to understand precisely how big this market is in terms of users, iPhone install base and device install base, with an eye toward understanding the history and potential for growth.
First, it’s important to note that Apple refers to “Greater China” (GC) not just China. That means within this reporting segment are Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. The populations are approximately, 1.4 billion, 23.2 million, 7.5 million and 700k respectively.

Earlier this week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sat down with Dario Amodei, the CEO of the leading AI firm Anthropic, for a conversation about ethics. The Pentagon had been using the company’s flagship product, Claude, for months as part of a $200 million contract—the AI had even reportedly played a role in the January mission to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—but Hegseth wasn’t satisfied. There were certain things Claude just wouldn’t do.

Dokumentet från FRA:s cybersäkerhetscenter avslöjar nya detaljer om hotet mot den svenska energisektorn. Sverige har samma sårbarheter som gjorde att nästan en halv miljon hushåll i Polen höll på att bli utan värme.
Den omfattande IT-attacken mot polsk energiförsörjning inträffade i slutet av förra året – men stoppades i sista stund.
Det som kom fram i utredningen av den polska attacken fick Nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter vid Försvarets radioanstalt, FRA, att i förra veckan varna den svenska energisektorn.
– Sårbarheterna som finns i Polen finns i svenska system också. Drabbas energisektorn kan det få konsekvenser för hela samhället. Och hur stora de blir beror helt på hur omfattande angreppet är, säger John Billow, chef för Nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter.

Skelleftebon anklagades för att ha begått upprepade skattebrott under många år och utelämnat vinster för avyttring av kryptovalutan Bitcoin. Därmed slapp han betala 107 miljoner kronor i skatt.
Nu har Skellefteå tingsrätt bedömt bevisningen – och han både frias och fälls. Han åläggs dessutom att betala enorma miljonbelopp i skattetillägg.
Straffet blev fängelse i tre år och nio månader.
