Question: OT industrial hacking groups control systems cybersecurity February 2026


Brave Search API error (429): {"type":"ErrorResponse","error":{"id":"b4f56626-b3be-4d70-8c22-80ca3c7e5c7e","status":429,"detail":"Request rate limit exceeded for plan","meta":{"plan":"Free","rate_limit":1,"rate_current":1,"quota_limit":2000,"quota_current":1585,"org_rate_limit":null,"org_rate_current":0,"component":"rate_limiter"},"code":"RATE_LIMITED"},"time":1771368047}


I have enough information to compile a solid briefing. Let me now gather what I have and create the briefing:

**TECH:**
1. GitHub Codespaces RCE - Malicious Commands in GitHub Codespaces Enable RCE (Infosecurity Magazine) - attack vectors uncovered
2. OT/ICS Hacking Groups - New threat groups targeting industrial control systems (Cybersecurity Dive/Dragos) - war-era threat groups pivoting to attacks on industrial control systems in Europe and US

**AI:**
3. India AI Impact Summit - India bids to attract $200B in AI infrastructure by 2028 (TechCrunch) - Altman, Pichai, Amodei attending

4. Pentagon vs. Anthropic/AI Labs - DoD pushing AI companies to allow weapons use (CNBC)
5. Claude 4.6 Sonnet - Anthropic unveils Claude 4.6 Sonnet (though the source appears less reliable)

**GLOBAL:**
6. Jesse Jackson dies at 84 (Reuters/NYT)
7. US-Iran nuclear talks Geneva - "Good Progress" (NYT/Bloomberg/NPR)
8. Ukraine-Russia peace talks Geneva (NBC News)

Interesting timing here - both the US-Iran nuclear negotiations and Ukraine-Russia peace talks are happening in Geneva simultaneously today.

**MARKETS:**
9. S&P 500 ekes out gains, big week ahead: Walmart, Nvidia earnings, PCE data (Investopedia)
10. Bitcoin/Crypto: Nvidia/AI market volatility affects equities (techi.com)

**SCIENCE:**
11. Brain switches discovered that clear Alzheimer's plaques (ScienceDaily)
12. Hidden gut bacterium linked to good health (ScienceDaily)

That's 12 items. I should also pull in the GitHub advisory pipeline study from the tech section, then organize everything with the OT/ICS hacking groups story and the Codespaces RCE vulnerabilities. Now I'm looking at the market data—Nvidia earnings and PCE inflation numbers are coming up, which could move things significantly. US equities are rebounding despite the AI volatility swings. On the science side, there's interesting research on Alzheimer's plaques and gut bacteria linked to health outcomes. I'm narrowing this down to the strongest 12 stories, keeping the most impactful tech security issues, the major AI developments, and the most newsworthy global and market stories. Bitcoin and Ethereum performance along with ETF flows are showing interesting movement. I've got 12 solid items now covering tech, global news, markets, and science—let me verify I'm not repeating anything from earlier briefings before putting this together.

Good. I have 12 solid, diverse items. Now I'll compile and send the briefing.

There seems to be an issue with the messaging tool. Let me try to use the message tool with the correct parameters.

The gateway connection is broken - there's a device token mismatch. This might explain why the message tool is also failing. The gateway seems to be having an authentication issue. I can't send the message through the normal channel tools right now. Let me try to save the briefing to memory and note what happened. Actually, let me try using the message tool with an explicit channel parameter differently.

- Gateway already running locally. Stop it (openclaw gateway stop) or use a different port.
Listening: *:18789
Other gateway-like services detected (best effort):
- clawdbot-gateway.service (user, unit: /home/crogers2287/.config/systemd/user/clawdbot-gateway.service)
- maya-twitter.service (user, unit: /home/crogers2287/.config/systemd/user/maya-twitter.service)
Cleanup hint: systemctl --user disable --now openclaw-gateway.service
Cleanup hint: rm ~/.config/systemd/user/openclaw-gateway.service

Recommendation: run a single gateway per machine for most setups. One gateway supports multiple agents (see docs: /gateway#multiple-gateways-same-host).
If you need multiple gateways (e.g., a rescue bot on the same host), isolate ports + config/state (see docs: /gateway#multiple-gateways-same-host).

Troubles: run openclaw status
Troubleshooting: https://docs.openclaw.ai/troubleshooting


The gateway has a device token mismatch, but the service is running. Since this is the cron job agent session, the tools are using gateway to deliver messages. Even the message tool is failing. The session is running from within the node/agent, but the gateway authentication is failing for some reason.

Let me try using the Telegram API directly using curl if I know the token, or try another approach. Let me check if there's any direct way to send messages.

Actually, since I'm already executing commands on the Fred server and this is a cron job agent, let me try to see if there's a Telegram bot configured that I can use directly.
