npm v12 Flips Three Install Defaults From Automatic to Opt-In — Prepare Your Pipelines Now

GitHub's npm v12, due July 2026, turns three things npm install does automatically today into choices you have to opt into: install scripts, Git dependencies and remote tarballs are all blocked by default. The behaviour is already available behind warnings in npm 11.16.0.

Three Singapore-Based Operators Moved Into South Korea's Data-Centre Market in Two Weeks

STT GDC opened its first South Korea data centre this month, days after Keppel and Digital Edge each moved on Greater Seoul. Singapore-based operators are expanding into a market where vacancy is around 1.4% and power, not demand, is the binding constraint.

Dallas Tops the World's Data-Centre Ranking — but Northern Virginia Still Has the Most Capacity

Cushman & Wakefield ranked Dallas the world's top primary data-centre market for the first time in May 2026. But Northern Virginia, at 11.3 GW operational, is still the largest by installed capacity — the shift is about pipeline and power, not inventory.

Who Pays for the Grid: The US Push to Make Data Centres Cover Their Own Power

US regulators and a voluntary federal pledge are shifting data-centre grid costs onto operators rather than households. In APAC the same demand pressure is rationed at the approval gate, not the meter.

The Cloud Market Just Crossed a Half-Trillion-Dollar Run Rate — and AI Is Why It's Still Accelerating

Global cloud-infrastructure spending hit US$129 billion in Q1 2026 and is growing 35% a year — the ninth straight quarter that growth has sped up rather than slowed. Synergy Research's numbers show AWS, Azure and Google Cloud still dominate, but AI-native 'neoclouds' are now a measurable slice, and Southeast Asia is among the fastest-growing markets. Here is what the figures say, and what they don't.

Forrester Says 2026 Will Bring Two Major Multi-Day Cloud Outages — Here's the Resilience Math Behind the Warning

Forrester predicts at least two major multi-day hyperscaler outages in 2026, arguing that the rush to build AI data centres is starving older infrastructure of investment. It is a forecast, not a fact — but the 2025 AWS and Azure outages, and a 10-hour Azure incident already this year, give it weight. Here is what the prediction actually claims, where it could be overstated, and what infrastructure teams should do regardless of whether the number lands.

ASEAN's Data-Centre Boom Is Hitting a Wall of Power and Water — and Johor Is Already Turning Projects Away

Southeast Asia has become one of the world's hottest data-centre markets, led by Johor's roughly 5.3GW pipeline. But the build-out is now gated by physical limits: Johor is rejecting projects whose liquid cooling its water infrastructure cannot yet support, Singapore allocates new capacity only through a calibrated, efficiency-weighted process, and Indonesia's ambitions are tied to a coal-heavy grid. The megawatts, not the announcements, have become the binding constraint.

WWDC 2026 for Developers: An Expanded Foundation Models Framework and an Agentic Xcode 27

Beyond the new Siri, WWDC 2026 gave developers an expanded Foundation Models framework — multimodal prompts and access to on-device, private-cloud and third-party models through one Swift API — plus App Intents wiring into Siri AI and an agentic Xcode 27. Here's what's new and what to do before iOS 27 ships.

Miasma: How a Hijacked CI Pipeline Shipped Malicious npm Packages With Valid Provenance

The Miasma supply-chain attack didn't typosquat or steal an npm token — it hijacked a maintainer's CI pipeline and published malware with valid SLSA provenance. For developers, that changes which defences actually matter.

CERT-In Orders 12-Hour Patching Window as AI Shrinks Exploit Timelines to Hours

India's national cybersecurity agency has told organisations running internet-facing systems to patch, mitigate, or isolate known-exploited critical vulnerabilities within 12 hours. The 38-page CERT-In blueprint, released 26 May 2026, argues that AI tooling has compressed the average CVE-to-exploit window from roughly 56 days to as few as 10 hours — rendering traditional monthly patch cycles functionally obsolete.
