Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the technology stories that matter.
Microsoft has set a firm deadline for killing off two aging security protocols. Starting in July of two thousand twenty six, Exchange Online will no longer accept TLS one point zero or one point one connections over POP three and IMAP four. For organizations still running older mail clients or infrastructure, the clock is ticking, and the upgrade path is not optional.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the White House is reportedly weighing guidance that would reinstate Anthropic's AI tools for federal agency use, including its Claude model, despite existing Pentagon restrictions. The move signals just how complicated the government's relationship with commercial AI has become, as different arms of the administration appear to be pulling in opposite directions.
And in a story that cuts across sports and cybersecurity, hackers have allegedly breached Al Nassr, the Saudi football club that employs Cristiano Ronaldo, along with the Asian Football Confederation. More than one hundred fifty thousand people are said to be affected, with passports, contracts, and private emails reportedly leaked online. It is a stark reminder that no industry is immune to the exposure that comes with poor data hygiene.
