We value your trust and want to keep you informed while our investigation continues. What Happened On October 30, 2026, at 16:39 UTC, WorkOS detected anomalous traffic to an internal business system. Our investigation identified evidence the attack was likely driven by ARTEX, an AI-assisted, autonomous penetration testing framework, from IP addresses based in Hong Kong and China.

These systems hold business contact information, account and commercial information, aggregated and de-ident...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Does anyone enjoy work anymore?

Ask HN: Does anyone enjoy work anymore? 4 by jackmalpo | 5 comments on Hacker News. Now that all I do is basically prompt AI all day, I'm struggling to actually enjoy work anymore. I don't get in the flow like I used with coding, which was when I loved the job the most. I'm finding all of the AI trends boring at this point. Trying to go with the flow, but not sure I'm enjoying the ride... How are y'all feeling?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What to do about incorrectly suspended GitHub account, no notice?

Ask HN: What to do about incorrectly suspended GitHub account, no notice? 3 by sshah03 | 0 comments on Hacker News. They have no form of support other than creating a ticket for reinstatement, that I've seen in some cases not get a response for months. I also have an enterprise org that pays them monthly, that I can not access now (though others still can luckily). I received an e-mail about education benefits re-verification (I didn't even know I had education benefits), and a notice that I had 30 days to submit re-verification to keep getting the benefits, and then along with the email my account was suspended. It says I asked for the benefits in the 2010s, which if I did I do not remember now, do not recall seeing the benefits on my account, and I was not using them. Regardless, the e-mail says I have 30 days to either re-verify or opt out of the benefits or I lose them, but instead they just suspended my entire account? I'm very confused about what's going on, an...

New ask Hacker News story: In LLM era, can software startup survive?

In LLM era, can software startup survive? 3 by sjia | 5 comments on Hacker News. Nowadays, vibe coding is everywhere. Turning an idea into software is just matter of tokens. I was joking the other day. Creating a tax return softwar is much faster than purchasing Turbotax at Costco. Large companies still have compute resources and customer bases. For startup, users are expecting open source and free software. Posts of subscription or one-time purchase software on Reddit will get tons of downvotes instantly.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?

Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy? 15 by LecroJS | 17 comments on Hacker News. I haven’t owned a TV in years and would like one that respects my privacy. Are there any TV’s which do this well? I am looking for something in the 60”to 80”range and would like a 4k display with at least 60hz display. I don’t mind paying a premium. I have heard good things about Apple TV as a better alternative to most smart TV native apps. Would some TV’s pair better with this than others for privacy? I don’t want the TV doing anything other than being the display for Apple TV. I am curious what success others have had.
