Seoul – October 12, 2026 -- CLASSYS Inc. (KOSDAQ: 214150) has created the post of Chief Commercial Officer and appointed former Bain & Company partner Jung-hee Bae to it, tasking her with a push toward a $1 billion revenue target ahead of 2030. Bae, who also becomes Vice President, will head the company's newly formed Go-to-Market (GTM) Center.

The camera targets high-speed acquisition tasks such as semiconductor inspection and material sorting. Raytron showed it next to the NS-615A-GE area-scan SWIR camera and the NS-101L2 line-scan SWIR camera, which offer other acquisition formats and interface options.

Live SWIR demonstrations told sugar from salt and compared dry and wet biscuit samples. The demos covered material differentiation, food sorting and moisture detection.

Espoo – October 12, 2026 -- Valmet will supply a complete high-speed board making line, PM 9, to Anhui Linping Circular Development's mill in China, with start-up scheduled for 2028. The order is booked in Valmet's third-quarter 2026 orders received, and its value will not be disclosed.

Valmet extends Xiao County partnership after PM 8 delivery

PM 9 follows the complete board making line PM 8, which Valmet previously delivered to the same customer site in Xiao County. The new line is designed for lightweight fluting and liner grades. Anhui Linping aims to broaden its product portfolio while improving resource efficiency and lowering environmental impact.

Anhui Linping Chairman Li Jianshe said the investment will "strengthen our position in the market" and cited the earlier project with Valmet as the basis for confidence in the full-scope delivery.

The contract was signed in the second quarter of Sectra's 2026/2027 fiscal year. It uses Sectra's service for advanced share and collaborate workflows to connect Diagnexia with NHS bodies that need external specialist support.

Diagnexia reporting capacity becomes available through existing Sectra connections

Hospitals already connected to the Sectra Image Exchange Portal (Sectra IEP) can reach Diagnexia's reporting capacity through the same connection and workflows. Jane Rendall, Managing Director for Sectra UK and Ireland, said this requires no new integration, no separate supplier onboarding and no additional infrastructure.

Atlanta – October 12, 2026 -- Colquitt Regional Health System in Moultrie, Georgia, is the subject of an upcoming Public Television segment on how a South Georgia hospital used graduate medical education and expanded specialty services to build a regional training and care hub.

All Access crews filmed the Moultrie segment on September 21, 2026

The segment comes from "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia," an independent short-form documentary series produced for Public Television stations nationwide.

Targeted facility expansions and intentional culture shifts are presented as the factors that attract top medical talent.

Austin – October 12, 2026 -- NVIDIA introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, an open source platform and reference design that applies multi-layered security controls across the software, runtime and infrastructure where AI agents operate, with CrowdStrike collaborating on the effort.

NVIDIA Sentry enforces policy from BlueField-4 DPUs and can quarantine agents in milliseconds

At the software layer, NVIDIA OpenShell provides an open source secure runtime that governs how agents execute, what they can access and where inference occurs. NVIDIA Sentry adds an independent watchdog running on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs. It uses NVIDIA DOCA for out-of-band, in-silicon monitoring of agent activity and policy enforcement.

Global – October 12, 2026 -- Incidents involving fake CAPTCHA lures rose 563% in 2025, according to the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report, as adversaries including STARDUST CHOLLIMA and VOODOO BEAR adopted the social engineering technique known as ClickFix.

ClickFix turns the victim into the execution mechanism

The attack shows a fake error, CAPTCHA or system message and tells the user to copy a command into the Windows Run dialog, PowerShell or Terminal. In some variants, malicious JavaScript places the command on the clipboard directly.

The pasted command can launch PowerShell, VBScript or another legitimate interpreter to fetch further payloads. CrowdStrike observations show follow-on activity including malware deployment, credential theft, persistence, command and control, and data theft.
