Europa’s ‘sinking ice’ may be feeding its hidden ocean with life-ready chemicals, study says

A new modeling study reveals that salty ice patches on Jupiter’s moon Europa might break off and sink through its ice shell, ferrying oxidants and other chemicals down to the ocean below — possibly creating a route for life-supporting ingredients. https://www.gadgets360.com/science/news/europa-s-ice-drips-may-feed-its-hidden-ocean-with-life-supporting-nutrients-10877761 This is significant since Europa is among the best bets in the solar system to hunt for life beyond Earth. It holds more liquid water beneath its icy shell than all Earth’s oceans together. Jupiter’s radiation creates compounds on the surface that microbes might exploit, but scientists have wrestled with how those surface materials could reach the ocean below. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260122073620.htm

SEC drops Gemini Earn lawsuit after Winklevoss exchange customers get crypto back

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission revealed Friday that it has dropped its civil lawsuit against Gemini Trust Company over the Gemini Earn crypto lending program. The SEC noted the dismissal is “with prejudice,” preventing it from refiling the same claims. This development is crucial because the Earn case centered on a heated debate about whether interest-bearing crypto programs qualify as securities offerings. It also brings an end to a legal battle tied to the 2022 market crash, which left retail investors stuck for months and pushed repayments into bankruptcy courts.

Poland power grid cyberattack: New “DynoWiper” wiper malware points to Russia’s Sandworm

Cybersecurity firm ESET has pointed to hackers tied to Russian military intelligence as the probable source of the cyberattacks targeting Poland’s power grid in late December. The intruders tried to unleash a data-wiping malware known as DynoWiper, though their attempt appears to have failed. The Russian Embassy in Washington has not responded to requests for comment. The discovery sharpens the spotlight on an incident Polish officials now see as a serious threat to the country’s energy security. The focus has shifted away from data theft toward potential disruption. This development arrives as Warsaw advocates for tougher cyber rules targeting critical infrastructure.

Tesla pulls Autopilot from new U.S. and Canada cars, pushing $99-a-month Full Self-Driving

Tesla has dropped its basic Autopilot driver-assistance system from new vehicle orders in the U.S. and Canada, removing the lane-centering “Autosteer” feature. Now, buyers only get Traffic Aware Cruise Control as a standard. This shift pushes Tesla further toward its Full Self-Driving package, which will be available exclusively by subscription starting Feb. 14, after the company ended the $8,000 one-time purchase option. The change follows pressure from California regulators to revise marketing tied to the “Autopilot” name. The timing is crucial as Tesla increasingly relies on software to boost margins and stabilize revenue, even if that means removing a feature many buyers expected to be included. It also presents a new challenge: how much customers are willing to pay monthly

BitGo IPO pops on NYSE debut, reopening the crypto listing window

BitGo opened 24.6% above its IPO price in its New York Stock Exchange debut on Thursday, giving the crypto custody firm a $2.59 billion valuation. IPOX research associate Lukas Muehlbauer called the deal a “first major bellwether” for crypto listings in 2026. The debut lands after a stretch of thin crypto IPO activity in the U.S., and it comes with investors still wary of uneven post-IPO trading across the sector last year. BitGo’s deal is a live test of whether the market will pay up for crypto “plumbing” — custody and infrastructure — instead of pure trading exposure.

Ofcom probes Meta over WhatsApp Business data — why the UK is digging in now

On Friday, Britain’s communications watchdog Ofcom announced it has launched an investigation into Meta Platforms regarding the data the company submitted about WhatsApp Business. This case is crucial because Ofcom relies on statutory data requests to support its analysis of the business messaging sector, including a wholesale market review for bulk business texts. If the data is off, the regulator’s entire view of that market could be skewed.

Trump administration pushes out Liz Cannon, Commerce official behind Chinese car curb, sources say

The Trump administration has ousted Elizabeth “Liz” Cannon, who led the Commerce Department’s Information and Communications Technology and Services program set up in 2022 to tackle supply-chain risks from foreign foes, sources told Reuters on Friday. Cannon’s team helped finalize Biden-era rules that effectively banned almost all Chinese passenger vehicles from entering the U.S. market. She’s expected to depart on Feb. 20, according to two insiders. The Bureau of Industry and Security, which oversees the program, said staff changes will bolster the office. Sources also revealed the administration intends to replace Cannon with a political appointee. This personnel shift hits a small corner of Commerce with outsized impact. It’s one of the rare spots in government where everyday tech—software, chips,

UK’s £1bn AI data centre thrown into doubt after ministers concede ‘serious error’

Britain’s High Court has greenlit a legal challenge against government approval of a 90-megawatt hyperscale data centre planned near London in Buckinghamshire. A letter to the court revealed officials agree the consent should be overturned, citing that the climate mitigation measures the approval depended on were never secured. The ruling comes as ministers rush to accelerate data centre construction to back artificial intelligence services, notorious for heavy electricity and cooling demands. Campaigners warn the planning process is being hurried, sidelining crucial climate calculations.
