The Russian military is once again hacking home and small office routers in widespread operations that send unwitting users to sites that harvest passwords and credential tokens for use in espionage campaigns, researchers said Tuesday.

An estimated 18,000 to 40,000 consumer routers, mostly those made by MikroTik and TP-Link, located in 120 countries, were wrangled into infrastructure belonging to APT28, an advanced threat group that’s part of Russia’s military intelligence agency known as the GRU, researchers from Lumen Technologies' Black Lotus Labs said. The threat group has operated for at least two decades and is behind dozens of high-profile hacks targeting governments worldwide. APT28 is also tracked under names including Pawn Storm, Sofacy Group, Sednit, Tsar Team, Forest Blizzard, and STRONTIUM.

Technical sophistication, tried-and-true techniques

A small number of routers were used as proxies to connect to a much larger number of other routers belonging to foreign ministries, law enforcement, and government agencies that APT28 wanted to spy on. The group then used its control of routers to change DNS lookups for select websites, including, Microsoft said, domains for the company’s 365 service.

Chinese AI company Z.ai has launched GLM-5.1, an open-source coding model it says is built for agentic software engineering. The release comes as AI vendors move beyond autocomplete-style coding tools toward systems that can handle software tasks over longer periods with less human input.

Z.ai said GLM-5.1 can sustain performance over hundreds of iterations, an ability it argues sets it apart from models that lose effectiveness in longer sessions.

As one example, the company said GLM-5.1 improved a vector database optimization task over more than 600 iterations and 6,000 tool calls, reaching 21,500 queries per second, about six times the best result achieved in a single 50-turn session.

In a research note, Z.ai said GLM-5.1 outperformed its predecessor, GLM-5, on several software engineering benchmarks and showed particular strength in repo generation, terminal-based problem solving, and repeated code optimization. The company said the model scored 58.4 on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 55.1 for GLM-5, and above the scores it listed for OpenAI’s GPT-5.4, Anthropic’s Opus 4.6, and Google’s Gemini 3.1 Pro on that benchmark.

GLM-5.1 has been released under the MIT License and is available through its developer platforms, with model weights also published for local deployment, the company said. That may appeal to enterprises looking for more control over how such tools are deployed.

Longer-running coding agents

Z.ai says long-running performance is a key differentiator for the company when compared to models that lose effectiveness in extended sessions.

Analysts say this is because many current models still plateau or drift after a relatively small number of turns, limiting their usefulness on extended, multi-step software tasks.

Pareekh Jain, CEO of Pareekh Consulting, said the industry is now moving beyond tools that can answer prompts toward systems that can carry out longer assignments with less supervision.

The question, Jain said, is no longer, “What can I ask this AI?” but, “What can I assign to it for the next eight hours?”

For enterprises, that raises the prospect of assigning an agent a ticket in the morning and receiving an optimized solution by day’s end, after it has run hundreds of experiments and profiled the code.

“This capability aligns with real needs such as large refactors, migration programs, and continuous incident resolution,” said Charlie Dai, VP and principal analyst at Forrester. “It suggests that long‑running autonomous agents are becoming more practical, provided enterprises layer in governance, monitoring, and escalation mechanisms to manage risk.”

Open-source appeal grows

GLM-5.1’s release under the MIT License could be significant, especially for companies in regulated or security-sensitive sectors.

“This matters in four key ways,” Jain said. “First, cost. Pricing is much lower than for premium models, and self-hosting lets companies control expenses instead of paying per use. Second, data governance. Sensitive code and data do not have to be sent to external APIs, which is critical in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and defense. Third, customization. Companies can adapt the model to their own codebases and internal tools without restrictions.”

The fourth factor, according to Jain, is geopolitical risk. Although the model is open source, its links to Chinese infrastructure and entities could still raise compliance concerns for some US companies.

Dai said the MIT license makes it easier for companies to run the model on their own systems while adapting it to internal requirements and governance policies. “For many buyers, this makes GLM‑5.1 a viable strategic option alongside commercial models, especially where regulatory constraints, IP sensitivity, or long‑term platform control matter most,” Dai said.

Benchmark credibility

Z.ai cited three benchmarks: SWE-Bench Pro, which tests complex software engineering tasks; NL2Repo, which measures repository generation; and Terminal-Bench 2.0, which evaluates real-world terminal-based problem solving.

“These benchmarks are designed to test coding agents’ advanced coding capabilities, so topping those benchmarks reflects strong coding performance, such as reliability in planning-to-execution, less prompt rework, and faster delivery,” said Lian Jye Su, chief analyst at Omdia. “However, they are still detached from typical enterprise realities.”

Su said public benchmarks still do not capture the messiness of proprietary codebases, legacy systems, and code review workflows. He added that benchmark results come from controlled settings that differ from production, though the gap is closing as more teams adopt agentic setups.

Love it or hate it, Android’s dark mode has one foundational flaw — an oversight in how it operates that keeps it from being a truly useful option for enhancing how you view your favorite phone’s display.

As it stands now, dark mode — the system-level setting that switches the overall Android interface and also the appearance of most apps into a darker, less white-centric motif — is mostly an on-or-off, take-it-or-leave-it situation. The choices for how and when it activates are shockingly low in contextual intelligence, which is especially odd when you consider how many sensors our modern mobile devices are sporting that could make that mode infinitely more helpful.

At long last, there’s now a better way — all thanks to the creativity of a crafty Android developer.

[Don’t stop here: Come check out my free Android Intelligence newsletter for three new things to try in your inbox every Friday — and my Android Notification Power-Pack as a special welcome bonus!]

Android dark mode — redux

So, first things first, for context: On many Android devices today, dark mode is just enabled out of the box, by default — as an always-on selection.

That means you’re seeing that darkened appearance across most everything you do on your device — more like the image on the right, using Gmail as an example, in contrast to the regular (non-dark) mode shown at left:

Android’s standard, non-dark interface, at left — and with dark mode enabled, at right.

JR Raphael, Foundry

In Google’s Android system settings, you’ve got the option to turn dark mode on or off entirely, as you’d expect, and you also have the ability to set either a stable time-based schedule to switch it on and off at the same exact time each day or to automatically have it toggle on and off based on the sunset and sunrise, respectively, for wherever you are.

Android’s system-level dark mode settings are surprisingly limited.

JR Raphael, Foundry

That’s all well and good, but if you don’t want to live in the dark all the time and would rather use dark mode as a selective state — seeing its dimmer, less glary approach when you’re in a dark room and your eyes are more sensitive to lighter colors but then sticking with the standard brighter interface style when you’re in a brighter environment — you don’t presently have any great way to predict that and make it happen in an intelligent way.

Sure, going with a set time schedule or the sunset-sunrise pattern is kinda-sorta close…ish. But in our electricity-aided, post-caveman era, just because it’s the evening hours or the sun has set doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in a dark place. So rather than relying on these mostly meaningless measures, shouldn’t Android’s dark mode be able to detect the level of light around you and activate dark mode for you when you’re actually in a dim environment, if you’d like — then disable it and stick with the standard light interface when you aren’t?

The answer is an unambiguous and enthusiastic yes, of course. And now, with the right little free add-on, you can enhance Android’s existing dark mode in exactly that way and make it instantly more intelligent — and effective.

The app is called Adaptive Theme, and all it does is run quietly in the background of whatever device you’re using to flip dark mode on or off automatically based on the level of light around you. It’s brilliantly simple and such a sensible and welcome upgrade, you’ll wonder why it wasn’t just natively available in Android in the first place.

The app does have a teensy bit of one-time setup that may seem daunting at first, but it’s actually quite easy to get through — and once it’s up and running, you’ll never actively think about it again. It’ll just do its thing in the background of your device and make your dark mode come on when you’re in a dim room and stay off when you’re in a brighter environment.

Ready?

2 minutes to a smarter Android dark mode

I promise: This isn’t difficult at all to do. You’re looking at roughly two minutes of one-time setup.

To start, just download Adaptive Theme from the Play Store. It’s free, without any limits or asterisks.

Once it’s installed, open ‘er up and follow the steps in the initial setup screens it shows you:

• First, the app will ask you to enable Android’s developer options, if you haven’t done that previously.
  • That’s a special, typically hidden section of Android’s system settings with all sorts of advanced options that aren’t typically intended for average phone-usin’ folk to futz around with.
  • There’s no risk to you or your phone with enabling ’em, and as long as you follow the instructions here exactly and enable only the one single setting this specific app asks for, it’s actually quite easy. (It’s also quite easy to undo, if you ever decide you aren’t into it and want to go back.) But we are pokin’ around in an area of Android that’s meant mostly for developers, and if you veer off-course and mess with the wrong setting, you could make a mess — so follow the steps closely, capisce?
• The app will direct you on how to enable those options. The process may sound strange — tapping your finger on a line that says “Build number” seven times — but I promise you, it works.
• With that out of the way, you’ll make your way back to the Adaptive Theme app, and you’ll find a prompt to enable an option within those developer settings called USB Debugging. Tap the “Open Developer Options” button, tap the search icon at the top of the screen that comes up next, and type USB Debugging into the search box.
• Tap “USB Debugging” in the list of results, then tap the toggle next to that same option and confirm you want to enable it.
• Back in the Adaptive Theme app once more, you’ll see a prompt to connect your phone to another device to finalize the process.

Granting permission via another device is an unusual step, but it’s actually quite easy to do.

JR Raphael, Foundry

• Again, this is a bit unusual — but, as the setup screen explains, it’s because the permission the app requires to control your dark mode status requires another device to activate it, since it isn’t something that most third-party apps are typically able to do. 
• All you’ve gotta do is use a USB-C cable (like the one you rely on for charging) to plug your phone into a computer or even another Android device, then follow the prompt on your phone to open the website on the second device — where you’ll then tap “Start setup” followed by “Select device,” select your phone, and finally connect and confirm on both of the devices.
• And, as the app notes, nothing you’re doing here is permanent — and if you ever uninstall Adaptive Theme, it’ll all be automatically undone and revoked. I can confirm this is correct; once the app’s been uninstalled, in fact, you’ll have to go through the process again upon reinstalling it, as the permission will no longer be present and valid.
• It’s also worth noting that the Adaptive Theme app is completely open source, which means anyone with the right technical knowledge can peek directly at its code and confirm it’s doing exactly what it says — and nothing more.

Got all of that? Good — now, take a deep breath: You’re basically done!

At this point, Adaptive Theme will automatically assess the light level around you every time you turn your screen on, and it’ll then put you into dark mode if your environment is dark enough or into the standard non-dark mode if there’s enough light present.

Adaptive Theme lets you adjust the threshold for exactly when dark mode should kick in.

JR Raphael, Foundry

Personally, I find the settings it uses to make that determination slightly too skewed toward dark mode by default. I think it works better if you adjust the “Brightness Threshold” slider on the app’s main screen one slot to the left of where it begins, as shown above — which seems to make it so that any standard daylight or typical daytime lighting triggers the standard, non-dark mode while truly dim environments take you into the dark mode domain. But you can play around with that slider to find the exact level that feels right for you.

Just note that the switch happens only when you first turn your screen on — so even if your lighting changes, you’ll need to press your phone’s power button and then press it again to reset the detection and make any dark mode adjustments appear. (And, again: If you ever decide you don’t like the automatic dark mode switching, you can simply uninstall the Adaptive Theme app, and it’ll go right back to the way it was before — with the regular system settings and any schedules within it controlling your screen status.)

All that’s left is to enjoy your newly adaptive and intelligent dark mode setup — and wonder why it hadn’t been that way all along.
