Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.
A serious warning out of the action camera world today: GoPro has disclosed it may not survive as a going concern. The company is facing a potential debt default, mounting financial pressure, and a market increasingly crowded by smartphones and AI-enhanced competitors.

On the security front, researchers at Wiz have uncovered a supply chain attack targeting Red Hat's npm packages, with at least thirty-two releases infected by something called the Mini Shai-Hulud worm. Those packages were being downloaded roughly eighty thousand times a week, meaning the exposure window was significant. The malware traces back to a single compromised Red Hat employee account, a reminder of how one weak link can ripple across an entire ecosystem.
Shifting to hardware excess, Asus is marking twenty years of its ROG brand at Computex two thousand twenty-six with a six-hundred-dollar mechanical keyboard plated in gold and a matching twenty-four-karat gold gaming mouse. Both are loaded with impressive specs, but at nearly five pounds for the keyboard alone, the line between enthusiast gear and decorative sculpture is getting genuinely blurry.
