Last Week in Tech – Big Tech's "We'll Build It For You" Land Grab, a Cheaper Claude, and a CitrixBleed Sequel
Your Monday catch-up on the week that was in tech, with a security lens. This week: the AI giants pivot from selling software to selling people - Microsoft stands up a 2.5-billion-dollar "Frontier Company" to embed its own engineers inside your business, just two days after Amazon committed a billion to the same idea. Anthropic ships Claude Sonnet 5, a cheaper model built to run autonomous agents. Money keeps pouring into the AI plumbing, with Together AI raising 800 million and Meta reportedly building a cloud business of its own. And on the security desk: a CitrixBleed-style flaw in NetScaler is exploited within a day of its patch, researchers document the first ransomware run end-to-end by an AI agent, and a 19-year-old alleged member of Scattered Spider is extradited to the US.Trying to work out what all this means for your own tech stack and your patch queue?
