Neura Robotics raises $1.4B backed by NVIDIA and Amazon to scale physical AI and humanoids to millions of units by 2030, as autonomous robot teams make their tactical debut at Eurosatory 2026.
AI agents are no longer side experiments. They are becoming live attack surface, carrying access to data, code and identity. For Australian businesses, the message is clear: adoption must be matched with control.
OpenAI's $3.7bn quarterly burn is not a crisis. It is a down payment on sovereignty. After the SpaceX earthquake and the grounding of Anthropic's models, its coming IPO will not read as a graduation but as a treaty: the state installed as permanent shareholder in the architecture of intelligence.
DragonForce ransomware hit Health Management Systems, an Australian healthcare software provider. Hospitals/clinics urged to check vendor security, isolate backups & train staff vs phishing.
Cyber News Centre's cyber update for 24th March 2026: DragonForce ransomware group has claimed an attack on Health Management Systems, an Australian healthcare software provider, threatening to release sensitive data unless ransom demands are met.
Update: Late last week, DragonForce listed Health Management Systems on its leak site after breaching the company's network. The group claims to hold sensitive data from the provider of healthcare software used by hospitals and clinics across Australia, with a warning that full leaks will follow unless negotiations begin. No confirmation of service disruptions or data exfiltration volume from the company yet, but the incident fits DragonForce's pattern of targeting healthcare for quick extortion. Cyber News Centre will report any further updates.
Why it Matters: This breach shows ransomware groups hitting Australian healthcare software vendors to disrupt patient services and grab medical records. For hospitals and clinics relying on third-party systems, it stresses offline backups, vendor security checks and incident plans to avoid paying ransoms. It also highlights the need for staff phishing training and network monitoring, as healthcare remains a top target due to recovery urgency.
