Shipment volume rose 22% year over year. The prospectus also shows that the company’s second-phase production line is already running at full capacity, while construction of a third-phase project is advancing. Of the funds to be raised, 20.8 billion yuan is earmarked for production line technology upgrades and 12.2 billion yuan for research and development-related projects.

Yangtze Memory Technologies’ holding company has moved into the accepted stage of its STAR Market IPO review on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with a planned fundraising target of RMB 33 billion and CITIC Securities and CSC Financial as sponsors. The filing puts one of China’s most closely watched semiconductor companies on track for what local media describe as a potential record-setting listing for Wuhan.

The Dutch National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has warned that a recently patched authentication flaw in Apple’s macOS Screen Sharing component is already being exploited in the wild, according to The Hacker News. The bug, tracked as CVE-2026-65400 and rated 9.8 on the CVSS scale, allowed attackers to access internet-exposed Macs listening on port 5900 without valid credentials and deploy Monero mining malware. Apple issued emergency fixes on Aug. 6 through macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Sequoia 15.7.9 and Sonoma 14.8.9, saying the patch strengthened credential validation by improving state management. The NCSC said it confirmed multiple attacks in which intruders gained root privileges and installed mining software. Security researcher @osxreverser also disclosed another pre-authentication flaw in the same component, likewise fixed in version 26.6, which could be exploited with only a target IP address and no username. Calif said researchers used AI to build working exploits for the two bugs in just four hours, highlighting how AI is shortening the time between vulnerability discovery and exploit development. Users were advised to update immediately or disable Screen Sharing if patching is not possible.
