WSL Containers now generally available on Windows

Microsoft has made WSL Containers generally available, letting developers build and run Linux containers directly on Windows through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). WSL is the Windows component that has so far been used mainly to run full Linux distributions alongside the Windows desktop.

Users get the feature by running wsl --update. The update installs a new command-line tool, wslc.exe, along with an alias called container.exe, so developers can use container commands they already know.

ATM jackpotting: US sanctions 10 tied to Tren de Aragua

US officials have tracked at least 1,500 jackpotting attacks, with losses of $40.7 million. Treasury describes the operation as a "key source of revenue for the organization."

Claude Compliance API feeds chats to 100+ security tools

Companies running Claude Enterprise can now send employee chats, uploaded files and coding sessions to the security and compliance tools they already use. More than 100 vendors have built integrations with the Claude Compliance API, including CrowdStrike, Microsoft Purview, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, Cloudflare and Zscaler.
