1. Uber cuts 3,300 jobs in management overhaul
-- Uber is eliminating about 10% of its global workforce as it reduces management layers and redirects spending toward ride-sharing, delivery and robotaxis, Bloomberg and the Financial Times reported.
-- In public markets, lower payroll costs could improve margins, while the reduced management bench concentrates operational risk in Uber's automation and autonomous-driving programs.
2. BGP hijack delivers malicious Virtualizor update
-- Attackers diverted Softaculous network traffic through a Border Gateway Protocol hijack and served a malicious Virtualizor package that established persistent root access on some systems, according to The Hacker News.
-- Compromised infrastructure could remain exposed after routing returns to normal, making package verification and host-level credential rotation essential for affected operators.
3. Canada extends fuel-tax suspension into early 2027
-- Prime Minister Mark Carney's government will extend a fuel excise-tax break into early 2027 as the Iran war drives energy costs higher, Bloomberg reported.
-- The relief cushions consumers immediately but shifts part of the price shock onto federal revenue and may sustain fuel demand while supplies remain strained.
4. Bitdeer pays $100 million for land beside Texas AI site
-- Bitdeer bought 200 acres near its Rockdale, Texas, AI and high-performance-computing site for $100 million, Blockspace Media reported.
-- Owning adjacent land gives the bitcoin miner more control over a potential data-center expansion, but returns will depend on securing power and converting capacity amid a congested Texas grid.
