Build 2025 Chaos: Walmart Inc. (WMT)'s Powerful AI Tool ‘MyAssistant' Unintentionally Revealed By MSFT
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) inadvertently leaked confidential details about its AI integration with Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) during a disrupted security session at Build 2025. In a chaotic moment, MSFT's AI security chief, Neta Haiby, shared an internal Teams chat revealing Walmart's readiness to deploy Microsoft's Entra Web and AI Gateway. The message also flagged WMT's proprietary AI tool, MyAssistant, as 'overly powerful' and in need of guardrails, highlighting security vulnerabilities.
The accidental leak underscored the depth of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s partnership with one of its largest enterprise clients while revealing critical deployment plans involving Azure OpenAI Service and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT)'s LLM-based tech stack. A Walmart AI engineer noted Microsoft Corporation's clear lead over Google in AI security.
Simultaneously, MSFT faced escalating internal protests. Demonstrators disrupted CEO Satya Nadella's keynote and other panels, accusing MSFT of enabling Israeli military operations via Azure. Protesters from the 'No Azure for Apartheid' group, including recently terminated employees, accused MSFT of complicity in civilian deaths in Gaza, demanding that the company sever ties with Israel.
The backlash intensifies scrutiny over Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s growing military AI footprint. Analysts are watching closely for potential customer fallout, employee unrest, and reputational risks that could derail enterprise trust in its AI ecosystem. WMT is up by over 6.5% since the start of 2025.
While we acknowledge the potential of WMT to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

‘Still Not a Bargain,' Says Top Investor About Nike Stock
'Just Do It,' goes the motto that Nike (NYSE:NKE) made a household catchphrase. With its branded 'Swoosh' and world-famous spokespeople, it is no stretch to argue that Nike helped to build the premium shoe market — one that grew by leaps and bounds earlier this decade. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Indeed, the COVID years saw a major spike in Nike's footwear sales – from $23.3 billion in 2020 to over $35 billion in 2023 – though growth has been slowing of late. Last year saw footwear revenues decrease slightly, and its share price has fallen almost 40% during the past twelve months. This week, Nike will be releasing its FQ4 2025 results, and consensus estimates are not exactly bullish. Analysts are expecting total revenues of $10.7 billion – down 15% year-over-year – while a projected EPS of $0.12 would represent an 89% decrease year-over-year. One top investor known by the pseudonym Stone Fox Capital thinks that the growing competition will continue to present stiff resistance going forward. 'Nike remains overvalued despite a significant price decline, with the market underestimating downside risks and ongoing competitive pressures,' explains the 5-star investor, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros. The biggest challenge for Nike going forward will be the growing competition, asserts Stone Fox Capital, citing On Holding and HOKA as two of the biggest threats. For instance, ONON's On Running is expected to grow revenues by 40% this year. Still, NKE is trading 'at multiples above the market,' despite forecasts of stagnating growth going forward. Stone Fox Capital spots quite a disconnect – one that the market has yet to take fully into account. 'Nike should be viewed based on the readily available data of a massive athletic footwear company that hasn't grown in years facing immense competition,' adds Stone Fox Capital. Stone Fox Capital is urging investors to pay attention to upcoming guidance for the next quarter, which the investor predicts will be a 'horrible' forecast. Needless to say, Stone Fox Capital does not believe that 'Just Do It' is good advice for would-be investors at present. 'The stock might be down substantially from the all-time highs a few years ago, but Nike isn't actually trading like the business is under pressure,' concludes Stone Fox Capital, who rates NKE a Sell. (To watch Stone Fox Capital's track record, click here) Wall Street is overall positive when it comes to Nike, though not overwhelmingly. With 12 Buy and 11 Hold ratings, NKE is a consensus Moderate Buy. Its 12-month average price target of $71.24 has an upside of ~19%.

Urgent alarm issued after ‘mother of all data breaches' sees 16 billion passwords exposed — do this ASAP
A staggering 16 billion login credentials — including usernames, emails, and passwords for Apple, Google, Facebook and more — have been leaked online, shocking cybersecurity researchers. The data even contained the credentials of government officials, posing security concerns. The compromised data was scraped from over 30 databases since the start of 2025 and likely stems from malicious 'infostealer' software designed to extract sensitive information from victims' devices, a report published by Cybernews reveals. The leaked credentials span nearly every type of online service imaginable from social media and email accounts to VPNs and developer platforms. "No stone was left unturned," the report warns. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) This breach isn't just about stolen email addresses, it's about what cybercriminals can do with your full login credentials — especially if you tend to use the same passwords across your different accounts. Once hackers get your email and password combo, they can launch a range of attacks, including: Credential stuffing: Hackers try your login across banking, streaming, shopping, or investment sites. If you reuse passwords, they could gain access to your most sensitive accounts. Phishing and social engineering: With access to personal details or email accounts, scammers can send convincing fake messages or impersonate you to friends, coworkers, or customer service agents. Identity theft: Stolen credentials can be used to open credit cards, apply for loans, or take over government benefit accounts in your name. Access to 2FA and backups: If hackers get into your email, they may intercept security codes, password reset links, or even gain access to your cloud storage and documents. Google, Facebook, Netflix, Apple, LinkedIn, Dropbox and PayPal are among the slew of accounts with data compromised meaning nearly every kind of online identity is at risk. Even worse: many of the stolen credentials are in plain text, making them incredibly easy to exploit with automated tools. While the current combination of credential data is new, some of the data could also be from previous data breaches, including a database containing 184 million records discovered back in May of this year. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it With billions of passwords out in the wild, here's how to stay one step ahead of hackers: Change your passwords — especially for email, banking and shopping accounts. If you reuse passwords, it's time to break the habit. Turn on 2FA — that's two-factor authentication. It adds a second layer of defense, and it's free on most platforms. Use a password manager — stop relying on your memory (or sticky notes). Let an encrypted vault generate strong passwords for you. This makes it easier to change your password frequently, too. Watch your inbox — phishing scams tend to spike after big breaches. Don't click suspicious links, even if they look legit. Most importantly, monitor any financial accounts you have closely. Think PayPal, bank accounts and credit cards etc. Check your statements and even pull a credit report from Equifax, Experian or Transunion. 'This is the mother of all data breaches,' Ed Peters, CEO of Data Discovery Sciences, said to NBC 5 DFW. 'We tend to think of a lone hacker going and stealing your data. That's not the case.' With cybercriminals sitting on a dragon's hoard of credentials, experts say the risks of account takeovers, phishing and fraud are higher than ever.

'I Don't Usually Say This:' Nissan Salesperson Claims It's the Best Time of the Year to Buy. Is That True?
The middle of June is typically not considered the best time to buy a car. But one car salesman believes this year warrants an exception for two Nissan models. Kethan Yee (@keysfromyee) says Nissan is offering a sweetheart deal on the 2025 Rogue and Pathfinder. That's why he says it's 'the best time to buy a Nissan.' Nissan is currently offering 0% interest for 60 months on both the Rogue and Pathfinder on all trim levels. 'If you are looking for something sleek, fuel efficient, and an overall decent vehicle, definitely look at the Nissan Rogue. If you need extra space, go with the Pathfinder,' Yee says. Yee told Motor1 that, like all good things, this deal won't last. 'The 0% interest off is most likely going to change in the beginning of July,' he said. When Is the Best Time to Buy a Car? A common rule of thumb for car buying is to buy at the end of a month, quarter, or year. Kelley Blue Book (KBB) reports the best time to buy a car is typically at the end of the calendar year. Between holiday sales and end-of-year sales quotas for dealerships, car buyers can often land a solid deal. Trending Now 'It Works:' Woman Shares How to Find Out if Furniture Fits in Your Car—Before You Buy From Facebook Marketplace 'He Wears That Little, Dangly Cross Earring:' Woman Says 'Car Guys' Are Major 'Red Flags' for Dating. Is She onto Something? "Dealers generally do their best wheeling and dealing at the end of the calendar year," KBB notes. If you can't wait until the holiday season, you can also potentially get a better deal by buying at the end of the month. Dealerships also have quotas for monthly sales and may be more willing to make a deal. KBB advises buyers to begin searching a few weeks early to compare prices at different dealerships. Then play hard to get until the end of the month. Then, two or three days before the month ends, start negotiating for a better deal. Another approach is to time your purchase for when new models are released. When new models come in, dealerships often want to move through last year's inventory to make space. You can also take advantage of sales tied to various holidays like Memorial Day, July 4th, or Labor Day. No Nissan Left Behind Motor1 has reported that the Nissan Rogue is one of the most popular SUVs on the market. Nissan sold nearly a quarter-million Rogues last year, placing ninth in total sales in the United States and third in SUV sales. Our review praised the 2025 Rogue for checking 'nearly all the boxes you need in a compact SUV.' Further, both the 2025 Rogue and Pathfinder are cheaper than 2024 models. Nissan has chopped prices of all Rogues and Pathfinders by between $640 and $1,930. People who watched Yee's TikTok about the 0% financing deal still aren't sold. 'No Nissan is an upgrade,' one said. 'Yes, because buying an overpriced vehicle with a crappy transmission is a win,' another opined. 'Nissans going bankrupt so probably why,' a third theorized. Yet another described the sale as a 'desperation' deal, warning, 'buyer beware!' The Rogue did have at least one fan. 'Great vehicles Class 1,' they wrote. Yee replied, 'That's what I'm saying.' Motor1 has contacted Yee's dealership via email. We'll be sure to update this if it responds.
