A critical zero-day vulnerability in Dell’s PowerScale OneFS storage system has reportedly remained unpatched for close to two years, providing a window of opportunity that Chinese state-sponsored hackers have actively exploited to infiltrate organizations across the technology, telecommunications, and healthcare sectors. The revelation has sent shockwaves through enterprise IT departments that depend on Dell infrastructure and raised pointed questions about the company’s vulnerability response protocols.

For decades, the publishing industry operated on a familiar set of gatekeepers: literary agents, acquisitions editors, and marketing committees that decided which manuscripts deserved to see the light of day. Self-publishing platforms like Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing cracked that gate open over the past fifteen years. Now, a new wave of AI-powered tools is threatening to blow it off its hinges entirely — and one company is offering lifetime access to its book-creation platform for less than the price of a dinner for two.
