1. New Jersey asks Supreme Court to settle state authority over Kalshi sports contracts
-- New Jersey asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review whether states may regulate sports-event contracts offered by prediction market Kalshi, Reuters reported.
-- A ruling could determine whether federal derivatives oversight preempts state gambling law, reshaping market access and compliance obligations nationwide.
2. Mercenary spyware targets more than a dozen people in Serbia
-- More than a dozen people in Serbia were targeted with mercenary spyware, according to findings reported by Reuters from a digital-rights group.
-- The campaign exposes journalists, activists and political figures to device compromise while adding pressure for stronger privacy controls and victim-notification rules.
3. UK Supreme Court permits spyware claims against foreign states
-- The court ruled Bahrain was not immune from litigation by two UK-based dissidents who allege its use of FinSpy caused psychological harm; the case now returns to the High Court for proof of attribution, causation and injury.
-- Removing state immunity at the jurisdictional stage gives exiles a potential civil remedy for cross-border hacking and increases legal exposure for governments using commercial spyware abroad.
4. Repository configurations trigger code execution in AI coding agents
-- Researchers disclosed eight flaws across seven command-line agents that can execute commands named in a repository's Git configuration as the user, outside agent sandboxes and without approval; fixes have shipped for goose, Codex and part of Claude Code, while several paths remained unpatched at testing.
-- For developer security, shared repositories containing intact Git metadata should be treated as executable content; affected tools should be updated and repository-local configuration inspected before use.
5. New York City schools ban student AI tools and restrict screen time
-- The largest U.S. school district will ban student use of artificial-intelligence tools and limit screen time for elementary and middle-school pupils in the coming academic year, Bloomberg reported.
-- The policy creates a large-scale test of whether schools can enforce AI restrictions without blocking legitimate accessibility, research and digital-literacy uses.
