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

Security researchers are raising alarms about a new attack campaign exploiting Claude's Shared Chats feature. Hackers are using the tool to make malicious links appear legitimate, targeting software developers through so-called ClickFix campaigns. Experts are calling it a sophisticated evolution in social engineering, one that turns trust in familiar platforms into a liability.

Shifting to the chip wars, Amazon is moving aggressively to challenge Nvidia on its home turf. AWS is reportedly in talks to sell its in-house AI chips directly to other data centers, not just use them internally. CEO Andy Jassy has described this as a fifty billion dollar opportunity, a signal that Amazon wants to be a serious player in AI infrastructure, not just a customer of it.

And in the prediction markets space, Kentucky has filed suit against Kalshi and Polymarket, accusing both platforms of operating illegal sports betting services. The legal challenge adds Kentucky to a growing list of states pushing back against the industry, raising a fundamental question about where financial speculation ends and gambling law begins.
