⚠️ We faced a major server hack — here’s what happened.

Our team discovered that our production server was infected with the dangerous RondoDox botnet using the newly exposed React CVE-2025 vulnerability.
The attack installed crypto-mining malware, hidden services, fake system files, and reinfection scripts.

But the good news?
We traced the root cause, removed all malicious files, patched the vulnerability, secured our servers, and strengthened our firewall + VPN protection. 🔐💻

We’ve published a detailed blog explaining:
✔ How the hack happened
✔ What malware was behind it
✔ How we cleaned everything
✔ What steps every developer should take now

If you run apps using React or Next.js, this is a must-read.
Stay safe online!

🔥Tech Gossip Alert:

Apple × OpenAI just pulled off the smartest deal of 2025 — and it didn’t involve money.

Apple integrated ChatGPT directly into iPhones — not as an app, not as an add-on, but baked straight into iOS.

And here’s the twist: Apple paid OpenAI ₹0 / $0.

So what’s the real exchange?

OpenAI gets access to billions of users.

In today’s AI economy, data and distribution are the true currency.

This partnership doesn’t just upgrade iPhones — it resets the entire AI landscape:
• Apple accelerates its AI capabilities
• OpenAI goes global overnight
• Competitors now face massive pressure to keep up

💡The big lesson?
Adopt AI now, or risk falling behind.
Are you ready to build your AI-driven future?
