United Natural Foods confirms cyberattackIt said parts of its infrastructure were forced offline, and delays might occurNo threat actors have assumed responsibility yetUnited Natural Foods, North America’s largest wholesale distributor, has confirmed it suffered a cyberattack which forced it to pull parts of its IT infrastructure offline.In a new 8-K form filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company said it was working with third-party cybersecurity experts to assess and mitigate the damage.The incident caused “temporary disruptions” to United Natural Foods’ business operations, it was further said, as the company works on assessing, mitigating, and remediating the incident with the help of third-party experts. The police were also notified of the attack.Unknown culprits“On June 5, 2025, United Natural Foods became aware of unauthorized activity on certain of its Information Technology (IT) systems,” the filing states.“The company promptly activated its incident response plan and implemented containment measures, including proactively taking certain systems offline, which has temporarily impacted the company’s ability to fulfill and distribute customer orders.”While other details were not shared, businesses usually take systems offline when they suffer a ransomware attack, as that is the best way to prevent additional devices from being encrypted. It also prevents the threat actors from exfiltrating sensitive files from the network, which is the standard practice with ransomware attackers these days.“The company is continuing to work to restore its systems to safely bring them back online,” the document concludes. “The investigation to assess the impact and scope of the incident remains ongoing and is in its early stages.”Headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, and supplies more than 30,000 retail locations across the US and Canada, United Natural Foods is the largest wholesale distributor of natural, organic, and conventional grocery products in North America, including being the main supplier for Amazon-owned Whole Foods.No hacking groups have yet claimed responsibility for this attack.Via BleepingComputerYou might also likeCo-op and M&S food supplier hit by ransomware attackTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers

Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg has been recruiting experts to join a team he's assembling to achieve AI superintelligence, according to Bloomberg and The New York Times. Zuckerberg has reportedly been discussing potential recruits with other senior leaders from the company in a WhatsApp group chat dubbed "Recruiting Party." He reportedly has a personal list of recruits, which include AI researchers, infrastructure engineers and other entrepreneurs. Zuckerberg has invited them to lunch and dinner at his homes in California to get them to join his team over the past month.

At the moment, the immediate goal of AI companies is to achieve true artificial general intelligence (AGI), wherein a machine has human-level intelligence and can achieve any task a human can do. Superintelligence is a step beyond that. An AI system with superintelligence is supposed to have intellectual powers far beyond any human's.

The Times says Zuckerberg has already tapped Alexandr Wang, the founder of AI startup Scale AI, to join the new team. Meta is planning to invest billions of dollars into Wang's company, which provides other AI companies with data to train their models. The deal will also bring Scale's other employees onboard Meta, though it's unclear if any of them are joining the new team, as well.

Meta has also offered dozens of AI experts from other companies, including Google and Open AI, compensation packages worth seven to nine figures to join the team. Some, according to The Times, have already agreed. In his pitch to potential recruits, Zuckerberg apparently said that his company's advertising business can finance its own AI development even if it costs tens of billions of dollars, unlike rivals who have to raise funds first.

Zuckerberg, Bloomberg said, decided to oversee recruitment himself due to frustration over the quality of and the public's response to Meta's Llama 4 large language model. Llama 4 wasn't well-received, and critics argued that Meta overpromised but underdelivered. The company also had to delay the release of its "Behemoth" Llama 4 model, which the company vowed will outperform "GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several STEM benchmarks."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/meta-is-reportedly-forming-an-ai-superintelligence-team-133030015.html?src=rss

A sentiment that has, no doubt, inspired many an out-of-town sports stadium. However, it was immediately apparent that we were looking for something to do with ARCHITECTURE.My eyes were drawn to the corners today. To the word "list" – which became BRUTALIST – and to the two letter Vs in the top right-hand corner of the grid, which formed themselves into the word REVIVAL. I got DECO next, but that’s when I hit the brakes. I spent far too long trying to form a word that began E-Q-U before taking a hint and seeing the error of my ways with BAROQUE. From here, the building was virtually complete. And kudos to the NYT Strands team on that front, too; it's always nice when the spangram makes a pretty picture.How did you do today?

So I thought RAINBOW, LEPRECHAUN, ASTERISK, BANANA. I appreciate now that just one of these is a Lucky Charms shape,Then, after abandoning that, I thought we were looking for an emoticon of a face or something similar. An assumption based off the fact that I knew PARENS was a rounded bracket and most emoticons featured asterisks.How wrong I was, but I should have known we were looking for a group from the exciting world of word processing (see WAYS TO DENOTE A CITATION), an area the crazy spreadsheet heads at Connections HQ are constantly returning to.How did you do today?

It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

Call of Duty: Blacks Ops 7 was revealed at the latest Xbox Games ShowcaseThe game is set to come to Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PCThat said, the team is reportedly still "committed" to a Nintendo Switch 2 version The next Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, was revealed at the recent Xbox Games Showcase, and is expected to launch for Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.The current lack of a Nintendo Switch 2 version is certainly interesting, as Microsoft and Nintendo entered into a binding 10-year legal agreement back in 2023, which Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith promised would bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo platforms.The games would allegedly launch "the same day as Xbox, with full feature and content parity" and came as part of a move towards "providing long-term equal access to Call of Duty to other gaming platforms".The announcement came in the shadow of an impending Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lawsuit against Microsoft, which argued that the tech giant's purchase of Call of Duty owner Activision Blizzard would breach US anti-trust laws.The case was eventually dropped by the FTC, with the $75.4 billion acquisition completed on October 13, 2023.Although there is currently no official word on a Black Ops 7 Nintendo Switch 2 version, a source told Eurogamer that the company was "committed to getting the franchise on Switch" with "both [development] teams working on it."With Black Ops 7 details set to release throughout the year, I would expect some more concrete news on a Nintendo Switch 2 port in the weeks and months to come.You might also like...Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition brings one of my favorite games ever to Nintendo Switch 2, and I just can’t put it downDeltarune is brilliantly bizarre, and a must-play on Nintendo Switch 2Disappointed by the Nintendo Switch 2's battery life?

AI is more than a buzzword. Across various industries, it’s proving value by streamlining operations, enhancing decision-making and unlocking new levels of efficiency. But despite its potential, many businesses are still struggling to realize their AI ambitions— caught in limbo between experimentation and execution.According to a recent study by Boston Consulting Group, only 26% of companies have successfully moved beyond proofs of concept to achieve tangible results. Bridging this AI adoption gap goes beyond technology; it's dependent on a clear strategy, organizational readiness and employee engagement.Start with clear objectivesOne of the main reasons AI initiatives fail is an absence of well-defined objectives. It's easy to be swept up in the hype — launching pilot projects or deploying experimental chatbots simply to ‘get started’. But without clear understanding of the areas AI can most effectively enhance, investments will likely devolve into fragmented, siloed initiatives with little long-term impact.A useful starting point is to ask: “what are the pain points within my business?” Depending on the size and structure of the company, these can vary significantly, but common objectives for AI implementation include streamlining internal processes, automating repetitive tasks and saving time finding and analyzing information. In any case, businesses should approach AI like any other digital transformation initiative: begin with strategy, not software.Create a north star with centralized knowledgeEven the most advanced AI models are only as good as the quality of the data they have to work with. In many organizations, valuable information is scattered across various platforms, locked in legacy systems or buried in disorganized documents. This fragmentation not only causes frustration due to information being time-consuming to access, but it also stifles AI's ability to deliver accurate and meaningful insights at scale.To remedy this, businesses should ensure that company knowledge is maintained in a centralized system. Accessible and well-structured data stored within a unified platform makes it easier for AI to process vast amounts of information quickly, surface relevant insights and inform decision-making across the organization. If AI is the engine, data is the fuel. Without reliable, high-quality data, that engine can’t take you far.Bring employees on the AI journeyAnother hurdle for AI adoption is how the roll-out strategy is received. Recent research indicates that around 70-80% of AI initiatives fail, and lack of employee buy-in is a key contributing factor. Some employee apprehension is understandable and can be due to numerous factors, such as feeling excluded from the decision-making process or struggling to comprehend how AI fits into day-to-day roles.That’s why actively engaging teams throughout the process is crucial. While support and clear communication on the AI strategy from company leadership is essential, you also need to identify champions to help drive change across the organization. These ‘builders’ - enthusiastic early adopters - will be instrumental in showing tangible use cases and building trust among their peers. Their support, alongside continuous investment in training and an inclusive approach, will facilitate a successful roll-out.Measure impact and stay flexibleEmployee engagement is also key to measuring results: the more people use and benefit from AI tools, the more you see a return on investment. Look at the usage data - how many people are using AI, and how often? - and pair this with surveys to gauge time savings and quality of work improvements. Talking to the most active users on what value they’re seeing allows you to replicate it across the business.This ongoing dialogue also sheds light on evolving use cases for AI, helping you to refine the strategy further. For example, I’ve seen that customers who initially used AI tools mainly for writing support are now using it for project management and customized tasks. Companies that succeed with AI treat it as a living system, not a static tool.Converting potential into performanceThe promise of AI is real — but it’s not an automatic outcome. Bridging the AI adoption gap requires more than just experimenting with the latest tools or following trends. With clear strategic intent, robust data foundations, inclusive implementation practices and a culture of continuous improvement, companies will be on the right track to convert experimentation to enterprise value.We've featured the best AI writer.This article was produced as part of TechRadarPro's Expert Insights channel where we feature the best and brightest minds in the technology industry today.
