Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily briefing on the stories shaping our world.

The geopolitical stakes around Starlink are rising fast. The United States is reportedly threatening Europe over attempts to restrict or regulate SpaceX's satellite internet service. It's a collision between American commercial interests and European digital sovereignty — and it signals how critical low-orbit infrastructure has become to modern statecraft and military logistics.

On the security side, OWASP has updated its guidance on prompt injection, ranking it the top risk for large language model applications heading into two thousand twenty five. The vulnerability allows malicious inputs to manipulate AI behavior in ways developers never intended — and as these systems get embedded deeper into products and services, the exposure grows significantly harder to contain.

And in a conflict that keeps expanding its technological dimensions, Egypt's top security body has agreed to help Saudi Arabia defend against Houthi attacks. The Houthis have been deploying drones and missiles capable of mid-flight course corrections, which makes traditional intercept systems genuinely difficult to rely on — a real-world stress test for modern air defense technology.

That's your briefing for now. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
