VanishID Secures $10M in Funding as it Launches Digital CEO Protection Offering

Armed with investment from Dell Technologies Capital, agentic AI-powered digital executive protection leader prepares for its next stage of growth
WASHINGTON, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VanishID, the leader in agentic AI-powered digital executive protection for enterprises, today announced its rebrand from Picnic Corporation and the launch of a new CEO Protection offering designed specifically to protect Chief Executives and their families from the unique digital privacy and security risks. VanishID also announced a recent $10M investment led by Dell Technologies Capital and joined by Mark McLaughlin, former CEO and Chairman of Palo Alto Networks, with continued strong participation from Crosslink Capital, Rally Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, and Bright Pixel. LockStep Ventures also joined this funding round.
Public data exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) represents the digital breadcrumbs that enable cyberattacks, fraud, and physical threats against executives. No one is immune: over 93% of C-Suite executives have a home address exposed, and 99.97% have been involved in a data breach. VanishID offers the only fully automated solution that requires no effort from executives or security teams, no PII provided by end-users, and no integration with internal systems to deliver continuous removal of PII from the internet.
'People represent the largest unprotected attack surface in any enterprise. The distance between cybersecurity and employees' physical safety is narrowing dangerously, and corporate leaders are taking action,' said Raman Khanna, Managing Director, Dell Technologies Capital. 'The VanishID platform is powerful and differentiated. In a market that has traditionally been served by consumer solutions reliant on manual offshore labor, VanishID has created the first, enterprise-grade, agentic AI solution that solves this problem at scale.'
Executives, and CEOs in particular, can be among the most vulnerable targets for bad actors. They contend with a 'visibility paradox' in which their roles as leaders require them to remain out front publicly, and often uniquely accessible with wide authority, putting their position at odds with privacy and even physical safety. Amid an increasingly politically charged climate, excessive digital exposure has never posed a bigger threat to executives. VanishID has responded with its most comprehensive offering yet, launching additional services to account for a higher likelihood of targeting and a wider aperture of vectors.
VanishID CEO Protection brings all of the benefits of its Executive Protection tier of service, including personal device and social media impersonation protection, and extends protection to up to 25 family members or close associates. In addition, VanishID CEO Protection includes a Red Team Assessment that blends physical and digital exposure. By providing an unbiased view of how threat actors could target the CEO, family, and close peers with physical and digital threats, VanishID extends a security team's reach and helps improve security posture.
'CEOs, senior executives, and board members face a daunting challenge of being in the public eye yet trying to maintain their and their families' privacy and security,' said Mark McLaughlin. 'VanishID is enabling those two priorities to not be in conflict with each other, which helps both organizations and individuals. I am delighted to help support them on their mission.'
VanishID will use the investment to continue to invest in go-to-market while also extending its capabilities in agentic AI remediations that seamlessly protect organizations and their key employees.
'I am humbled to work with experienced investors like Raman Khanna and Mark McLaughlin, and I am thankful for the continued substantial participation from our existing venture investors. We have never been better positioned to help protect enterprises and their executives from myriad threats represented by digital exposure,' said Matt Polak, Founder and CEO of VanishID.
About VanishIDVanishID is an agentic AI-powered company that neutralizes public data exposure for organizations and their employees. By continuously monitoring and reducing exposure to open-source intelligence (OSINT), VanishID extends security beyond the corporate perimeter, safeguarding business continuity and organizational integrity.

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc: High Grade Drill Results at Blanket Mine

Better than expected grades and widths from drilling in multiple areas anticipated to boost gold resources at Blanket ST HELIER, Jersey, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("Caledonia" or 'the Company") is pleased to report further encouraging high grade results from the ongoing resource expansion drill programme at Caledonia's 64% owned Blanket Mine. The programme is aimed at evaluating the continuity of the mineralised zones on the Blanket, Eroica and Lima orebodies (which comprise three of the main orebodies at Blanket Mine). The objectives of the programme are to increase the confidence levels of the existing mineral resource and to grow the mineral resource estimate below the 34 level of the mine (1,110 metres). These results follow the previously announced results on January 30, 2024. Results from 6,976 metres of underground drilling from January 2024 to the end of April 2025 indicate that the existing Blanket and Eroica orebodies have grades and widths which are generally better than expected, while the Lima orebody is shown to continue below 22 level (750 metres). A new potential orebody has been intersected in the Blanket orebody area of the mine, with impressive grades and widths. Table 1.

The grades and widths we are seeing from this drilling campaign are as good as and, in some cases, considerably better than results from previous drilling campaigns, which is highly encouraging. 'We anticipate that the positive grades and widths will result in an increased overall mineral resource estimate, which in due course should result in the extension of the existing life of mine. We have invested heavily in Blanket Mine over the last seven years to increase production capacity, resulting in a mine infrastructure that can sustain production beyond the current production horizon. "Drilling is currently focussed on the Blanket and Eroica orebodies, where crosscuts have been developed to allow optimal access to drill the deeper zones of the steeply-dipping orebodies. These results are extremely promising, and we look forward to the next phase of drilling and updating the market accordingly.' Commentary The drilling at Blanket Mine continues to confirm the continuation of several of the main orebodies (the Blanket, Eroica and Lima orebodies) at depth at the lowest levels of the mine and beyond. The increased density of drilling intersections from the programme is aimed at upgrading the inferred mineral resource estimate to the indicated mineral resource category or better, providing a solid resource base for life of mine planning. Grades and widths in the results from the Blanket and Eroica orebodies have been generally better than previously expected and modelled. Further data on each drill hole is set out at Appendix 2 and pictorial representations of the holes are included below. Figure 1. Blanket Mine Drilling – Long Section (North – South) of Blanket Mine Showing Locality of Drilling Blanket Orebody – Strong Grades and Widths in Infill Drilling and New Orebody Discovered In holes BLK870EX2312 and BLK870EX2308 (holes 16 and 13 on the section below, respectively), drilling intersected a new orebody which is believed to be another subparallel orebody which would be in addition to the 6 subparallel orebodies which currently comprise the Blanket series of orebodies (together referred to as the Blanket orebody). The initial intersections into this previously unknown orebody are highly encouraging, with highlights of 31.8 metres (estimated true width of 24.73 metres) at 6.71 grammes per tonne ('g/t') gold and 10.8 metres (estimated true width of 5.93 metres) at 17.73 g/t gold. Infill drill results into the Blanket orebody have returned, in general, better widths and grades than expected when compared to the current mineral resource estimate contained within the report entitled 'NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Blanket Gold Mine, Zimbabwe' with an effective date of 31 December 2023. A comparison of drillhole ARS1110EX2308 with the 2023 resource model shows a similar width for Blanket 1 Footwall (BLK1FW) orebody of approximately 13 metres while the drillhole grades return a composite grade inclusive of internal dilution from 66.21 to 85.41 metres downhole of 20.64 g/t compared to a mineral resource model grade of approximately 4.64 g/t. The Blanket 1 Hangingwall (BLK1HW), in the same drillhole ARS1110EX2308, returned a similar value of 6.28 g/t when compared to the mineral resource model grade of between 4.0 and 6.0 g/t while the true width in the drillhole of 7.14 metres is thicker than the mineral resource model width of approximately 3.30 metres. Drill results reported in this announcement concern intersections between 26 and 34 level on the south end of the mine (Figure 2), plus intersections below 34 level in the middle portion of the Blanket orebody (Figure 3). This information will form part of the planned mineral resource update anticipated to be published by year end. Figure 2. Blanket Orebody – Drilling from 26 Level (870 metres below surface) Figure 3. Blanket Orebody – Drilling from 34 Level (1,110 metres below surface) Eroica and Lima Orebodies – Solid Intersections at Eroica at 34 Level and Extension Demonstrated at Lima Drilling commenced at Lima and initial intersections are encouraging. The likelihood of the Lima orebody (Lima main, footwall, hangingwall and intermediates) extending from 22 level to 34 level is considered to be high. The potential down dip continuation of the Lima orebody will be accessible from Eroica orebody development on 30 and 34 level with relatively minor extensions to current development. Figure 4. Eroica and Lima Orebodies – Drilling from 750 metres (22 Level) below surface This information will form part of the planned mineral resource update anticipated to be published by year end. Future Exploration Plans and other Programs Ongoing Drilling will continue to evaluate the Blanket, ARM and ARS orebodies to the 38 level (1,230 metres) and beyond. In addition to underground exploration drilling, Blanket Mine has commenced a surface exploration project within the area held under the Blanket Mine mining lease. The program is targeting the Banded Iron Formation ('BIF') which strikes in a north-westerly direction and has been exploited at the nearby Vubachikwe and Sabiwa gold mines. The BIF extends from the southern boundary of the Blanket Mine lease area through to the northern boundary and beyond. Initial work comprised Induced Polarisation ('IP') and Ground Magnetic ('GM') surveys over a selected area. These surveys delineated anomalous zones over a 600-metre strike length which subsequent surface reconnaissance mapping and pitting has shown to be quartz filled shear zones hosted within the BIF. Grab samples from shallow surface pits returned assay values ranging between 0.59 and 32.12 g/t from analysis at the Blanket Mine assay laboratory. Planned activities for 2025 include: Surface trenching at 50 metres spacing over the strike length of 600 metres. Reverse Circulation ('RC') drilling focusing on defining the potential of shallow oxide mineral resources.

Craig James Harvey is a 'Qualified Person' as defined by each of (i) the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and (ii) sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Quality Assurance and Quality Control Access to Blanket Mine premises is controlled by security personnel on the first gate. On the second gate, in addition to security, entry is gained by biometric entry system. Diamond drilling is performed by qualified diamond drillers under the supervision of a diamond drill foreperson. Drilled core is routinely brought to surface to the core shed where it is received and laid down. A qualified geological technician performs geotechnical logging while a qualified geologist logs the core and marks the portions for splitting. The core is split in half along the core axis using an electric core cutter equipped with a diamond saw cutter. The geologist marks the sample intervals, put tickets, insert standards and blanks. One half of the sample is put into a plastic sample bag and sealed with cable ties. The sampling information is entered into the database. The other half of the core is marked with sample intervals and sample numbers and returned to the core box and retained for future reference. The samples are put in marked grain bags and tied with cable ties. Transportation is by road using a mine vehicle to a SADCAS accredited testing laboratory (accreditation number TEST-05 0030) in Kwekwe, some 330km from Blanket Mine. A delivery note is signed as proof of dispatch. Gold is analysed by a 50 grams fire assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. The laboratory also has internal quality control ('QC') programs that include insertion of reagent blanks, reference materials, and pulp duplicates. Blanket Mine inserts QC samples (blanks and reference materials) at regular intervals to monitor laboratory performance. When results are received, the assay results are painted against the sample numbers on the core retained.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Information Information and statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts are 'forward-looking information' within the meaning of applicable securities legislation that involve risks and uncertainties relating, but not limited, to Caledonia's current expectations, intentions, plans, and beliefs. Forward-looking information can often be identified by forward-looking words such as 'anticipate', 'believe', 'expect', 'goal', 'plan', 'target', 'intend', 'estimate', 'could', 'should', 'may' and 'will' or the negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance. Examples of forward-looking information in this news release include: planned exploration programs, focuses, strategies, drilling targets and work, potential for further exploration of certain areas, potential drilling results and related expectations, costs and expenditures, including with respect to the cost of development and production, project economics, gold price assumptions, potential mineralization, projected ore grades, opportunities to add near mine and further high-grade mineral reserves and resources, expectations regarding the mine plan and extensions to it, sustaining capital and value of operations and other statements and information that is based on forecasts and projections of future operational, geological or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. This forward-looking information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to: failure to establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data, assumptions regarding the representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors. Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility.

Shared Mobility Services to be Adopted by One Quarter of Global Population by 2028

BASINGSTOKE, United Kingdom, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new study from Juniper Research, the foremost experts in sustainability and smart cities markets, has revealed that the global userbase for shared mobility will grow 46% over the next three years; from 1.4 billion users in 2025 to over 2 billion in 2028. This substantial growth will be driven by the rapid development of on-demand transportation solutions that encompass micromobility services into their platform. The study identified that a key factor to this increasing usage is the integration of different micromobility options, such as eScooters and eBikes, into existing ride-hailing apps. However, the research observed that the integration of these privately owned platforms into public transport networks will continue to be a challenge, with effective public-private partnerships being key. An extract from the new report, Shared Mobility Market 2025-2030, is now available as a free download. Source: Juniper Research Micromobility Significantly Underutilised The report cautioned that the underutilisation of micromobility options is preventing a fully multimodal market from emerging. Whilst eScooters and eBikes can fulfil inner-city journeys for urban residents, a lack of integration and ownership by competing private brands is limiting their potential. Report author Thomas Wilson added: 'In the short term, micromobility vendors must seek to adopt standards and pursue public/private partnerships to integrate services, to better serve public needs. Over the longer term, city authorities must work with shared mobility vendors to design true multimodal experiences, or congestion will not be effectively tackled.' The report unearthed the importance of vendors making micromobility solutions more accessible in urban environments. For example, implementing additional designated vehicle pick-up/drop-off zones, or siting docks for eScooters at common public transport hubs, will enable users to travel confidently without the need for private car ownership. About the Research Suite The new market research suite offers the most comprehensive assessment of the shared mobility market to date; providing analysis and forecasts of over 60,000 datapoints across 61 countries over five years. It includes a 'Competitor Leaderboard' and examination of current and future market opportunities.

Statement by the Texas Hemp Business Council on Governor Abbott's Veto of SB3

AUSTIN, Texas, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 'Governor Greg Abbott's veto of SB 3 reinforces Texas' reputation as a leader in business innovation and practical policymaking. By choosing balance over overreach, Governor Abbott protected a vibrant, federally legal hemp industry that employs 53,000 Texans and generates over $4.3 billion in annual sales.' 'SB 3 would have banned widely used, federally legal hemp-derived products, pushing consumers toward unsafe alternatives and threatening public health and choice. Governor Abbott's veto protects the hundreds of thousands of farmers, veterans, small businesses and adult consumers across Texas who rely on hemp for wellness and their livelihoods. 'Texas already has strong hemp regulations under HB 1325, such as strict rules on THC limits, full panel testing, licensing, labeling and accessible certificates of analysis. We continue to advocate for sensible additions, such as limiting sales to those 21 and older, requiring child-resistant packaging, and establishing setbacks from schools, all of which were rejected by proponents of SB 3 in both the 88th and 89th Legislatures. 'Polling consistently shows that Texans do not support a ban on hemp-derived products. We commend Governor Abbott for his leadership and for listening to the more than 150,000 petition signers and thousands more who shared their stories through handwritten letters. We remain committed to working with lawmakers and stakeholders to support a safe, well-regulated hemp industry, not just for Texas, but as a model for the nation.' About the Texas Hemp Business Council The Texas Hemp Business Council is an industry organization dedicated to promoting the hemp-based cannabinoid industry in Texas, while advocating for consumer safety, education and stakeholder engagement.
