What happened

Collection of security commentary and news: a U.S. government evaluation reportedly found Microsoft’s cloud offering poorly documented and hard to assess; a PyPI supply-chain compromise (litellm v1.82.8) distributed a malicious .pth wheel that executes on Python startup; Google announces a timeline to migrate to post‑quantum cryptography by 2029; an advanced iPhone exploit kit dubbed “Coruna” (23 iOS vulnerabilities) was disclosed and appears state‑grade; Hong Kong changed rules permitting police to compel decryption/passwords; a New Mexico ruling raises legal pressure on end‑to‑end encryption
