Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the cybersecurity landscape, and CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) believes the threat is no longer theoretical. CEO George Kurtz recently described the situation as the "genie's out of the bottle," underscoring that AI capabilities are now widely available and can be exploited by attackers. CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report found that AI-enabled adversary activity surged 89% year-over-year, while the company has also observed attacks moving at machine speed.
Kurtz said AI agents should be secured like privileged users, with strict permissions, temporary credentials, and emergency shutdown capabilities, while humans retain control over critical decisions. He also urged AI companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI to work more closely with cybersecurity firms and independent evaluators to address emerging AI-related threats.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) argued Wednesday that House GOP leaders sent the lower chamber home early because they found other Republicans in support of his push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
“The fact that they didn’t vote on it tells me that they did a whip check, and they probably found that there were some other Republicans, besides me, that were going to vote for this, or at least didn’t want to be on the record supporting Hegseth,” he told host Kaitlan Collins on CNN’s “The Source.”
The outgoing Kentucky libertarian, a frequent critic of President Trump, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Tuesday.
Massie accused Hegseth of violating his “oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” citing his handling of the Iran war and operations to kill alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.
The GOP lawmaker, who lost his primary in May to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, also made his impeachment resolution privileged.

An audience at a taping of Oprah Winfrey's podcast on Thursday applauded a call to support women like Lindsay Clancy who don't have "her privilege" after Clancy's murder trial ended in a mistrial.
Winfrey's show took place in the wake of Clancy's trial after she admitted to strangling her three children in 2023.
Last week, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her children. Her defense argued that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.

Spanish World Cup-winner Juan Mata on Friday opted against playing another season with Australian side Melbourne Victory, but stopped short of calling time on his career.
The former Manchester United and Chelsea ace has enjoyed a late-career resurgence and was voted the domestic A-League player of the year in 2025-26.
But the 38-year-old has decided not to play on at the club as he mulls "the next steps in his career".
He will remain involved with the Australian side after taking an ownership stake.
"I loved every minute and so greatly enjoyed everything that we achieved last season, falling back in love with football at such a special place, in an amazing city that it was a privilege to call home," Mata said.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The effort and energy Tim Polasek has poured into North Dakota State's football program on the climb to the FBS can be easily sourced back to his rural roots.
As a small-college quarterback on summer and winter breaks, and later to supplement a meager income as he launched a career in coaching, Polasek worked grueling jobs as a logger in the woods of central Wisconsin and on the overnight shift at a steel mill near his tiny hometown of Iola.
Appreciation for the unglamourous work as a small-college ***** istant sure comes quick with that background.
"I learned a lot there: That could be you if you don't graduate college and pursue something," said Polasek, who is 28-3 with the Bison since becoming head coach in 2024. "Seeing those tough jobs and other people having to execute that every day really always makes it an honor and a privilege to be the leader of this program."
Having handily beaten Jacksonville State and Fordham in their first two games, the Bison will face one of their biggest tests as a first-year FBS team on Saturday night: Their Mountain West Conference opener at Air Force.

Sam Ponder is sharing the reason why she decided to homeschool her three children.
The former ESPN host, who shares Bowden, 12, Robinson, 9, and Price, 8, with her husband, former NFL quarterback Christian Ponder, took to X, where she blamed the New York City public school system for her decision to pull her children out of traditional classrooms.
"Meeting so many more families like ours in the city recently who, like us, never thought they'd homeschool," Ponder wrote Wednesday, September 9, over a New York Post report citing that homeschooling in New York City has gone up by 200 percent.
She continued, "I went to a huge inner city public school as a kid and thought homeschooling was weird. Then the local public school option became… weirder. I see it as a huge privilege to be able to homeschool but I wish it didn't feel so necessary."
The former Sunday NFL Countdown host worked for ESPN alongside former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, but was ultimately let go in 2024 in the final year of a three-year, $3 million contract, with the network citing budget cuts at the time, according to a 2024 report from The New York Times.

Actor Sebastian Stan refuses to go down the beaten path in his career. Despite global fame with the "Winter Soldier" franchise, the actor actively seeks out challenging roles that push him out of his comfort zone.
In an interview with Vulture, Stan reflected on his career evolution. He explained that he prefers playing the tough roles and not the conventional lead-man ones.
The 44-year-old admitted that boundary-pushing roles have a special appeal. "I'm drawn to a situation that provokes failure," Stan said, explaining his criteria for choosing roles.
Stan said that he was tied to privileged or villainous characters during his early years. After being cast in the Marvel universe, he felt that his stereotyping had dried up challenging roles for him in Hollywood.
However, in recent times, Stan has taken control over his career and starred in character-driven roles. He earned special acclaim for starring in "A Different Man", which won a Golden Globe for the role. Stan played Donald Trump in "The Apprentice".

Let's be brutally honest, ladies. If someone had told us back in 1996 that Pamela Anderson - the slow-motion running, red-swimsuit-wearing, ultimate 90s bombshell - would one day become our leading philosophical guru for embracing midlife, we probably would have choked on our Diet ******* es. But here we are, fiercely navigating our own second acts, and surprisingly, it's Pam who is serving up exactly the kind of rebellious, bare-faced wisdom we didn't know we desperately needed.
Pamela Anderson keeps her makeup-free philosophy as she attends the amfAR Gala Venezia 2026 (@ Getty Images for amfAR)
Who can forget that Pamela was the poster girl for an impossible standard of hyper-glamorous beauty. With the heavy lip liner, bleach, and frosted eyeshadow, she really went for the more-is-more approach to beauty. But in more recent years? She has gloriously changed tack. She has stepped onto the world's most heavily photographed, judgmental red carpet arenas completely makeup-free (or minimally made-up sometimes). She lets her freckles shine, her fine lines show, and her natural skin breathe. And honestly, the collective sigh of relief from women over 50 could be heard from ******* e.
Pamela Anderson went for a more is more approach back in the nineties (@ WireImage)
Because let's face it: the 'anti-ageing' industry is downright exhausting. We are constantly bombarded with marketing campaigns telling us to freeze, fill, lift, and aggressively scrub away every single sign that we have actually had the audacity to live past our fortieth birthdays. It's a relentless, outrageously expensive treadmill. We are commanded to fight aging as if it's a disease, rather than the profound privilege it actually is.

Airing a Super Bowl is a bit like a presidential election.
It might come around every four years, but candidates – in this case, the four networks with the privilege and pockets to be in the broadcast rotation – are constantly jockeying and positioning themselves, especially as their turn nears.
That makes CBS' conundrum with Tony Romo even more precarious. Super Bowl 61 will return to ABC/ESPN for the first time in two decades to end the 2026 season on Feb. 14, 2027, but then CBS will officially be on the clock for February 2028, when it will host its first Super-Bowl broadcast since 2023.
Romo, the network's No. 1 game ****** yst who partners with Jim Nantz, was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) and pleaded no contest Sept. 2 to three charges he faced from the incident, which occurred while in his native Wisconsin on July 23. The subsequent police officer bodycam footage became Internet fodder, as Romo failed his field sobriety test, told the officer who pulled him over he was "going to see grandma and grandpa" (his own parents) and had an open container in the passenger seat.
In his first public comment since the arrest, Romo said via a Sept. 1 statement posted to his Instagram account, "I own this completely." He also noted an over-reliance on alcohol stemming from a dependence on pain medication following his playing career.

Paris Jackson didn't get to enjoy her father Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. The 28-year-old star, the daughter of the late King of Pop and his second wife, Debbie Rowe, has revealed that she and her siblings, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24, never got the chance to enjoy the California property's features, such as the private amusement park, zoo, and movie theater.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Paris explained: "I didn't grow up there. "It was only the first few years of my life that I was there." In fact, Paris revealed that she and her siblings were told that Neverland's "attractions" were only to be enjoyed by underprivileged and sick children.

The Princess of Wales is always perfectly poised at royal events, the epitome of grace and composure.
But there was a time when her composure momentarily slipped at a charity event - and resulted in one of our favourite videos of the future queen.
The event took place back in December 2014, when Kate was still the **** ss of Cambridge. She and Prince William travelled for a three-day official visit to the United States, centered primarily in New York City.
One of her engagements saw Kate visit the Northside Center for Child Development where she joined a group of women to help wrap Christmas presents for underprivileged children.
The royal was warmly greeted upon her arrival and, after taking her seat in front at the wrapping station, turned to chat to some of the other ladies in the room.

Mother Nature had other plans for the NASCAR Cup Series qualifying on Saturday as a lengthy lightning delay canceled the single-car session. Based on the metric, Tyler Reddick will start the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway from the pole position.
Because of this, Reddick earns the luxury of not only starting up front, but having an advantage on pit road. The driver of the No. 45 will be pitting from the No. 1 pit stall on Sunday night, the closest box to the exit of pit road.
Ryan Blaney lost his privilege of selecting his own pit stall after issues during pre-race inspection. The driver of the No. 12 will be pitting from the No. 27 pit stall, based on where every other team selected.
Here is a look at where every driver will pit for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington.

Natalie Portman is now a mom of three!
The Oscar-winning actress welcomed her third baby, her first with partner Tanguy Destable, People reports. The 45-year-old welcomed the new addition to the family in Paris last month, the outlet shared.
People confirmed their romance in March 2025, after Portman and Destable were linked by French outlet Voici. The Black Swan star also shares a 14-year-old son named Aleph and a 9-year-old daughter named Amalia with her ex-husband Benjamin Millepied.
The Closer star shared with Harper's Bazaar in April that she was expecting her third child. "Tanguy and I are very excited," she told the publication. "I'm just very grateful. I know it's such a privilege and a miracle."
She added that she is very aware of the challenges that can come with pregnancy, especially as her mother is a fertility doctor. "I have so many people I love who've had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It's such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it's also not an easy thing. I know how lucky it is. I'm very aware, and I'm very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude."

Cathy Engelbert is stepping down as WNBA commissioner, ending a polarizing tenure that saw the league grow exponentially under her watch but also raised questions about her ability to lead it through its era of increased scrutiny and attention.
Engelbert has informed the league of her decision to retire, effective at the end of this year, it was announced today by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
"Cathy has presided over the WNBA through the most significant period of growth in the league's 30-year history," said Silver. "We are grateful for Cathy's leadership and unwavering commitment to the advancement of women's basketball."
Engelbert, 61, has served as WNBA commissioner since May 2019. Previously, she worked at Deloitte for more than 30 years and was elevated to CEO of the company in 2015.
"After more than seven years at the WNBA and more than 40 total years in business, I have made the decision to retire as WNBA Commissioner," said Engelbert. "In 2019, I had the privilege of being appointed the league's first commissioner and to lead a league with enormous potential yet untapped awareness and significant undervaluation. Over the years, it has been amazing to watch WNBA players thrive and lead the massive cultural surge around women's sports."

King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a garden party marking the 125th anniversary of a charity organization, where the monarch met Pakistan's national cricket team while the Queen mingled with dancers. The outing also marked their first public appearance since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK last month.
King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship's 125th anniversary. At Clarence House, the monarch also met Pakistan's national cricket team. On the other hand, Queen Camilla conversed with dancers from the Royal Academy of Dance at the London headquarters.
There, she met professionals from various classes, including those aged 55 and over, those undergoing cancer treatments, and people from underprivileged backgrounds. During her visit, she also handed over the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award to Christopher Wheeldon, OBE.
Following their royal engagements, they then headed to the British Museum, where they were also joined by French President Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron. Moreover, U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his wife, Marie-France van Heel, were also present at the museum.

King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship's 125th anniversary. At Clarence House, the monarch also met Pakistan's national cricket team. On the other hand, Queen Camilla conversed with dancers from the Royal Academy of Dance at the London headquarters.
There, she met professionals from various classes, including those aged 55 and over, those undergoing cancer treatments, and people from underprivileged backgrounds. During her visit, she also handed over the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award to Christopher Wheeldon, OBE.

Katie Meyer's No. 19 will officially be the first jersey number retired in Stanford women's soccer history.
The former standout goalkeeper will be honored during a ceremony before the Cardinal's home match against USC on Thursday. Meyer, who played for Stanford from 2018 to 2021, died by suicide in March 2022. The two-time team captain helped lead the Cardinal to the 2019 national championship.
"Katie was an extraordinary competitor, an exceptional leader and, most importantly, an incredible person who had a profound impact on everyone around her," Stanford women's soccer coach Paul Ratcliffe said in a statement. "She played the game with such passion and courage, and she brought a joy and energy to our program that was uniquely Katie.
"Retiring the No. 19 is a meaningful way for us to honor her legacy and ensure that future generations of Stanford women's soccer players understand the impact she had on this program, this university and the people who had the privilege of knowing her."
According to Stanford athletics, the match against USC will also serve as the school's annual Mental Health Awareness match. The Cardinal will distribute "Mental Health Matters" hats to fans in attendance, and various on-campus organizations will be present to promote mental health awareness and emphasize the importance of supporting people who may be struggling.

Credentialed access to cover professional sports teams is not a right. It's a privilege. Franchises grant media access to those who actively cover the team or league in a professional manner and have an audience to serve. They have every right to grant access, just as they have the right to pull it. Yesterday, the Tennessee ***** ans decided to pull social commentator Jared Stillman's credential, literally a day after Stillman said on his program that the organization was "not that stupid" to do so.
Whether you agree or disagree with the ***** ans' decision is irrelevant. What matters most in situations like this is transparency.
This isn't about whether Stillman should be credentialed. The ***** ans had already made that decision long ago. They granted him access after his departure from 102.5 The Game and his move to an independent platform. The question now is simple: Why specifically was Stillman's credential pulled?
Because without transparency, the result is distrust and uncertainty.
Make no mistake about it, there haven't been many great things to say about the Tennessee ***** ans over the past four seasons. Because of the team's lack of success, there also isn't much positivity surrounding the franchise at the moment. Stillman's commentary serves as Exhibit A.

CBS NFL ******* yst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has pleaded no contest to a charge of operating while intoxicated and has issued a statement apologizing for the actions that led to his July arrest.
Romo was arrested July 23 following a traffic stop as he was driving south on Interstate 43 in Wisconsin. CBS has since placed him on leave from his role as its lead NFL ******* yst.
According to Milwaukee County court records, Romo lost his driving privileges for six months and was ordered to complete an alcohol ******* sment program. He also owes $834. An interlock device must be installed on any vehicle owned or operated by Romo or registered to his name, and that order will remain in effect for at least one year after he is issued a license.
"The past month has been difficult, but it has also been personally significant," Romo said in a statement on Instagram. "It has required me to confront and own my mistakes fully — to the Lord, to myself, to my family and now to the public."
Romo said the multiple back surgeries that led to his retirement as a player "left me with constant, debilitating pain." He noted that the pain "led to a dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol."

CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) just posted the best quarter in its history, and the numbers back that up. Net new annual recurring revenue hit $333 million on August 26, accelerating to 51% growth and beating the high end of guidance by more than $45 million. Total revenue climbed 26% to $1.47 billion, a fifth straight quarter of accelerating growth. Buried in the same earnings call, though, was a guide for the current quarter that points to a much slower pace ahead.
The clearest story here is Falcon Flex, the bundled subscription model that lets customers consolidate security modules under one contract. Ending ARR tied to Flex reached $2.29 billion, up 101% year over year, and the company added more than 935 new Flex accounts in the quarter, over ten a day. Customers who converted from a standard subscription to Flex boosted spending by an average of 40%, and new logos signing directly onto Flex made up a record 34% of net new ARR. That bundling machine is now feeding a new category of demand.
Artificial Intelligence Detection and Response, built to police rogue AI agents, saw its ending ARR nearly triple versus the prior quarter, while identity products like Falcon Shield and privileged account protection grew more than 185% and more than 35 times year over year. Endpoint security, the original business, accelerated for a fourth straight quarter as customers locked down AI tools running on their machines. None of this came at the expense of profit. Non-GAAP operating income rose 46% to $372 million, a 25% margin, and free cash flow grew 33% to $377 million. Management raised its full-year net new ARR guidance by 1.15 thousand basis points from its initial outlook, to $1.35 billion to $1.36 billion.
Look past the headline print and the picture gets more complicated. CrowdStrike earned just $5 million in GAAP net income for the quarter, only its third straight quarter in the black on that basis, a reminder that the far larger non-GAAP profit figures still lean on add-backs like stock-based compensation. The company's own outlook for the next quarter cools things off too. Third quarter net new ARR is guided to grow 29% to 31% year over year, roughly half the 51% pace just posted, and revenue growth is guided to slow to 23% to 24% from the 26% delivered in the second quarter. Some of that is routine caution, but it still means the acceleration does not carry forward unchanged.

Receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is back with the Giants, for the first time since 2018. And he hopes to soon be back in the number he used to wear there.
Receiver Jalin Hyatt had it. He still does, but Hyatt was waived and signed to the practice squad. Beckham should have dibs, since he's on the roster.
"I think we all know what that means to me," Beckham told reporters on Monday regarding the possibility of wearing 13 again, via Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. "There definitely will be some conversations. I'll just say we'll see what happens. But like I said, it would be an honor and a privilege to put that back on."
Beckham has worn No. 3 during the preseason, but that number belongs to linebacker Abdul Carter.
Although Hyatt has worn it for three seasons in New York, he's not currently on the 53-man roster. It should be an easy game of rock-paper-scissors, one that won't require Beckham to write a check.

The Princess of Wales's popularity is at an all-time high, as she almost single-handedly provides the sparkle the Royal Family so desperately needs.
Blessed with stunning good looks and the ability to be elegant, whether in a ball gown or rolling up her sleeves to play table tennis with a group of underprivileged youngsters, Kate has cemented her place at the top table.
In recent years, she has enjoyed unrivalled popularity with the public both here and overseas. But her cancer diagnosis and the cruel way she was forced to silence the conspiracy theorists and online trolls about being unwell - and therefore out of the public eye - have simply served to prove that she's in a league of her own.
