Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at the stories shaping our digital world.
Norway is sounding a serious alarm. The country's National Security Authority reports that successful cyberattacks have tripled over just the past six months. Officials are also flagging artificial intelligence as a growing threat, warning that rapid AI development poses serious risks to Norwegian businesses and public institutions alike.
Turning to consumer tech, Google's Pixel eleven series is seeing some of its most aggressive pricing yet. Mint Mobile is now offering five hundred dollars off any Pixel eleven device on a new line, up fifty dollars from their previous promotion. Stack that with a full year of unlimited data at a low monthly rate, and this is one of the more compelling smartphone deals we've seen this cycle.
And if a compact desktop is on your radar, the GMKtec M six Ultra has just dropped to five hundred dollars on Amazon, down from seven hundred. This is the mini PC our reviewers call the best overall pick for most everyday users, earning four and a half stars for the value it delivers, with sixteen gigabytes of DDR five memory included out of the box.
