Offense at scale starts with an API. Today, we’re launching the XBOW Public API in Public Preview. Autonomous pentesting gave teams expert-level assessments in hours. But turning that capability into infrastructure required one more piece: programmatic access. Teams can now trigger and manage pentests across their entire portfolio; start, pause, resume, and monitor assessments at machine speed. Findings, assets, reports, and webhooks are all accessible through a production-ready API built to integrate directly into existing workflows. The result: run one pentest or one hundred with the same depth, autonomy, and exploit validation. No scheduling. No bottlenecks. No choosing which applications get coverage. Public Preview is live as of February 1, 2026. More here:

XBOW is the world’s first fully automated web pentester. It previously scored an unprecedented 75% on renowned web pentesting benchmarks from PentesterLab and PortSwigger. So we decided to give it a harder challenge: competing against humans.

For the past 2 months, XBOW has been testing Mythos Preview under embargo as part of a select early-access group. Today, we can finally share what we found. The headline: Mythos Preview is a major advance. It is substantially better than prior models at finding vulnerability candidates, especially when source code is available. But it’s not perfect. We surfaced issues with exploit validation, judgment, and efficiency. Our full write-up covers where Mythos Preview shines, where it still needs support, and what we think this means for the future of offensive security:

Microsoft spent $13 billion and 3 years building an AI that knows your work context. Every time you open it, it still asks what you're working on. This developer set up a plain text file in 2 minutes. The file is called CLAUDE.md. It loads before every session. Before he types a single word. It already knows his name. It already knows his writing style. It already knows what he's building, who it's for, and what he never wants to see in a response. He doesn't introduce himself anymore. He doesn't explain his preferences anymore. He doesn't correct the same mistakes twice. He just works. No $30/month Copilot subscription. No Microsoft 365. No IT approval. No data sharing agreement. No onboarding. Just a plain text file, a free text editor, and 21 instructions a developer distilled from Andrej Karpathy's research. Those 21 instructions moved Claude's coding accuracy from 65% to 94%. The file hit #1 on GitHub with 82,000 stars. Most people using Claude right now have never heard of it. Microsoft has 221,000 employees, $13 billion invested in OpenAI, and a direct integration into every Windows laptop sold on the planet.. they built an AI assistant most companies pay $30/user/month for that still doesn't know your name. This developer has a laptop, a text file and a 2-minute setup.. he built something that knows more about how he works than any enterprise AI on the market. The $50 billion AI personalization industry just got embarrassed by a .md file. full breakdown down below

Users asked how to find Office. We created a journey. The journey has seven steps. Each step surfaces Copilot. This is by design. We call it "touchpoint optimization." The first touchpoint is the homepage. It says "Welcome to Microsoft 365." There's no Office button. There's a Copilot button. It pulses. Pulsing increases click probability by 12%. We tested it. On interns. The second touchpoint is the search bar. You type "Office." It suggests "Copilot for Office." Then "Copilot Pro." Then "Copilot Studio." Then "Office" appears. At the bottom. Below the fold. Folds are strategic. The third touchpoint is the Apps menu. It has 47 apps. Copilot is first. Office is... there. Somewhere. We alphabetized by "AI relevance." That's not a real sorting method. But it's in the design doc. The fourth touchpoint is a modal. "Have you tried Copilot?" There's no "No" button. There's "Not now" and "Remind me later." Both do the same thing. Both count as engagement. The fifth touchpoint is onboarding. You clicked Office. But first: a video. About Copilot. It's 47 seconds. Skippable after 44. Those 44 seconds are "AI awareness impressions." We report them quarterly. The sixth touchpoint is the loading screen. While Office loads, you see tips. "Did you know Copilot can write emails?" "Did you know Copilot can summarize documents?" "Did you know you're still not in Office?" That last one isn't real. But the experience is. The seventh touchpoint is Office itself. You made it. Congratulations. There's a Copilot sidebar. It's open by default. You can close it. It reopens on every launch. We call that "persistent value surfacing." Users call it something else. We don't track that. The circus music you're hearing is user-generated. We're tracking it as engagement. Someone made a TikTok. It has 2 million views. We filed it under "organic brand amplification." The comments are brutal. We filed those under "passionate user feedback." Passionate means angry. Angry means they care. Caring is a metric. A designer asked if we could simplify the flow. I said complexity drives discovery. He asked what that meant. I said "serendipitous feature exposure." He asked if users wanted that. I showed him the funnel. The funnel has seven steps. Every step has drop-off. Drop-off means they'll come back. Coming back is retention. Retention is a KPI. KPIs are bonuses. The UX research team flagged this as "confusing." I renamed them to "Journey Experience Analysts." Now their reports say "journey friction." Friction sounds intentional. Intentional sounds strategic. Strategic sounds like a promotion. Apple's App Store reviewers asked why the app redirects so much. I said it's "contextual intelligence routing." They approved it. They always do. If you use the right words. A VP asked if users could just... find Office. I said that's "legacy navigation thinking." We're post-navigation now. Navigation implies destination. Destination implies completion. Completion means they stop engaging. We don't want that. We want journeys. Journeys have steps. Steps have touchpoints. Touchpoints have Copilot. Copilot has AI. AI has stock price. The line goes up and to the right. The circus music continues. We're considering licensing it officially. For the Super Bowl ad.

Microsoft just lost $357 billion in a single day... While Meta gained $170 billion. Both companies are spending over $100 billion on AI this year. One got punished. One got rewarded. The difference tells you everything about where this market is heading: Microsoft reported Wednesday. Beat on revenue. Beat on earnings. Revenue up 17%. EPS up 24%. But the stock dropped 10% - worst decline since March 2020. Why? Azure cloud growth came in at 39%. The Street wanted 39.4%. A miss of 0.4 percentage points erased a third of a trillion dollars. Meanwhile, capex jumped 89% year-over-year to $37.5B in a single quarter. CFO Amy Hood admitted two-thirds went to "short-lived assets" - GPUs that depreciate fast. And Microsoft also said they'll remain "capacity constrained through at least the end of our fiscal year." In other words: "We're spending $72B in six months and STILL can't build data centers fast enough." But that's not the real problem... The real problem is what's happening inside Microsoft's spending. They're not just building infrastructure for Azure customers. They're allocating scarce GPUs to their own products: M365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, internal R&D. Hood said they must "balance Azure revenue growth with growing needs across first-party apps and AI solutions." Microsoft is competing with its own cloud customers for compute capacity. If they'd allocated all new GPUs to Azure, growth would've exceeded 40%. Instead, they're betting their own AI products will generate more value than selling raw compute. That bet hasn't paid off yet. And 45% of their $625B backlog is tied to ONE customer: OpenAI. Now compare that to Meta: Revenue beat. Earnings beat. Guidance crushed expectations. And they announced $115-135B in AI capex for 2026 - nearly DOUBLE what they spent in 2025. The stock surged 10%. Why the opposite reaction? Meta is seeing immediate returns. Ad impressions up 18%. Average price per ad up 6%. Revenue up 24% year-over-year. Their AI investment is already showing up in the core business TODAY. Better ad targeting. Better recommendations. Better engagement. Q1 revenue guidance came in at $53.5-56.5B - Wall Street expected $51.4B. That's 30% revenue growth ACCELERATION. When you have 3.58B daily active users, AI improvements compound immediately. Zuckerberg called it a "major AI acceleration" and Wall Street didn't care about the $135B spending number. Because they can SEE the connection between spending and revenue. Here's what matters: The hyperscalers are now spending over $600B combined on AI infrastructure in 2026. AI assets depreciate at roughly 20% per year. The five hyperscalers face annual depreciation expenses approaching $400B - MORE than their combined profits in 2025. This is the biggest capital spending cycle in history. And we just entered Phase 3, where AI-enabled revenue models must finally prove their worth. The market stopped rewarding spending. It's rewarding RETURNS. Meta showed returns. Microsoft showed constraints and margin compression. That's why we saw a $527B swing between two companies reporting on the same day. My read: The easy money in the AI trade is over. From here, execution matters more than ambition. Companies that can turn infrastructure spending into measurable productivity gains get rewarded. Companies still building without clear payback get punished - even when they beat estimates. Microsoft isn't a bad company. It's a company that bet big on AI infrastructure and is now scrambling to show ROI before margins collapse further. Meta isn't necessarily a better AI company. It just has a business model where AI improvements translate directly to revenue growth. For investors, the lesson is clear: The AI infrastructure phase is maturing. Winners from here will be companies with clear paths from spending to earnings. Not companies asking you to trust the process while margins compress.

Possibly the biggest change in Microsoft Teams history? Teams without the Teams? Public preview in November to desktop, mobile, iOS, and Android. Here is what you need to know: 🟣 Microsoft is introducing a new combined chat and channels experience. Meaning chat and teams/channels will show up under the "Chat" sidebar icon. No more dedicated Teams sidebar button. 🟣 Teams and Channels will have their own section in chat. 🟣 Group your chats and/or channels however best works for you with favourites and custom sections (up to 50 sections and 50 items per section) 🟣 “Unread,” “Chat,” “Channels,” “Meetings,” and “Muted” Filters 🟣 New message can initiate a new chat or new channel post 🟣 New Mention view gathers all your mentions into a single interactive list. 🟣 At launch, a self-service, guided onboarding will help users discover the new experience and configure it to their preferences (on or off) 🟣 Users who prefer to keep chat and channels separate can easily do so during the onboarding process or at any time later. So far, it looks like there are no IT/tenant-level override controls. This experience change is targeted at getting more users using teams/channels. Most Teams users live in "chats", not teams/channels. There will undoubtedly be some pushback from users who use teams/channels well and like having the mental separation of teams/channels vs chats. I've been fortunate to be using it for a while, and I'm personally a big fan; my use of the correct channels has gone way up, and now I can find them all in one place in the app, particularly on mobile. I'm now much more likely to see channel conversations I need to see. What do you think? #MicrosoftTeams #Microsoft365

Warren Buffett explains why the best inflation hedge isn't gold or real estate — it's a business that can grow without requiring much additional capital During a Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Buffett was asked whether a high-return, capital-light business like See's Candies remains the best protection against inflation, or whether capital-intensive assets like railroads have become more attractive. His answer was clear: the capital-light business still wins. The reasoning is simple. When inflation rises, businesses that can increase revenue without needing large amounts of new capital are in the strongest position. Buffett compares it to your own earning power. “The ultimate test is your own earning ability. If you’re an outstanding doctor, lawyer, teacher, as inflation goes along, your services will command more and more in dollar terms and you don’t have to make any additional investment in yourself.” By contrast, businesses tied up in inventory and receivables need more and more capital just to maintain the same level of business as prices rise. He then points to See's Candies, one of Berkshire's most successful investments. When Berkshire acquired the company, it generated about $30 million in sales with just $9 million in tangible assets. Years later, sales had grown to more than $300 million while requiring only around $40 million in tangible assets. Berkshire invested just $30 million of additional capital over that entire period, producing roughly $1.5 billion in pre-tax earnings. “If the price of candy doubles, we don’t have any receivables to speak of. Our inventory turns fast. The fixed assets aren’t big. That is a much better business to own than a utility business if you’re going to have a lot of inflation.” His ideal business is even simpler: “You want a royalty on somebody else’s sales. All you do is get a royalty check every month based on their sales volume. You have no receivables, no inventory, no fixed assets. That kind of business is real inflation protection.” Charlie Munger jokes that they didn't always understand this—and sometimes still forget it. Buffett agrees. “It shows how continuous learning is absolutely required to have any significant achievement at all in the world.” As for Berkshire's investments in railroads and other capital-intensive businesses, Buffett says it isn't because his philosophy changed. It's because there simply aren't enough businesses like See's Candies large enough to deploy Berkshire's enormous amounts of capital. “We’d love to find them. But we can’t find them in the quantity.” Source: Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting (2004)

These IPOs Aren’t About Markets They’re About National Security Architecture This looks like a standard tech and markets story. Big IPOs. Trillion dollar valuations. SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic. Maybe even a mega merger tying SpaceX to Tesla and xAI. The easy takeaway is familiar..visionary founders, breakthrough products, capital finally catching up to innovation. That framing is comfortable. It’s also incomplete. What’s Actually Being Priced These companies aren’t being valued just for products or future cash flows. They’re being valued because they now sit close to the core of U.S. national security architecture. Launch capacity. Global communications. AI systems feeding into defense, intelligence, and government workflows. Infrastructure the state increasingly depends on, rather than merely contracts with. When markets put trillion dollar numbers on these platforms, they’re not just betting on growth. They’re betting on how deeply embedded these systems have become inside the machinery of American power and how hard they would be to replace. Power Is Being Rerouted This isn’t about the state giving up authority. It’s about how power is exercised when trust in institutions erodes and bureaucracy can’t move at the speed of competition. In the old model, power flowed through public institutions and legacy defense contractors, governed by long timelines and rigid process. In the current model, speed matters more than formality. Adaptability matters more than ownership. So the state reroutes. It embeds sovereign functions..launch, communications, data processing, AI driven analysis inside private platforms that already move fast, scale globally, and can be adjusted without public friction. That shift isn’t ideological. It’s structural. Why Musk Sits At The Center This isn’t just about one entrepreneur. Amazon has cloud. Microsoft runs enterprise software. Palantir handles data. The pattern is widespread. What makes Musk different is concentration. SpaceX isn’t just a launch provider; it’s increasingly how the U.S. gets to orbit at scale. Starlink and Starshield aren’t just connectivity; they form a global communications layer that shows up in real conflicts. And if xAI becomes embedded in defense or intelligence workflows, that adds a decision making layer on top. Stack those together and you’re not looking at products. You’re looking at a privately controlled system touching launch, comms, sensing, and AI..the core inputs of modern state power. That didn’t happen because of hype. It happened because the system needed it. The Dependency Markets Don’t Talk About Once national security operations are built around a platform, exit stops being realistic. Reliance becomes contracts. Contracts become scale. Scale makes alternatives impractical. Markets call that a moat. From a state perspective, it’s dependence. Why DOGE Fits The Picture DOGE is often dismissed as a failed reform experiment. But it revealed something important..trying to impose private sector speed directly onto government, loudly and visibly, triggers immediate resistance. What survived wasn’t the department. It was the method. Efficiency and automation didn’t disappear; they diffused through software, vendors, procurement choices, and external platforms that reshape how the state functions without ever declaring a takeover. That same logic applies here. Power isn’t being handed away. It’s being embedded..quietly and deniably where it can move faster. My View This is a signal that U.S. power in the 21st century is being reorganized around privately owned platforms because the old institutional model can’t keep up. Capital markets aren’t just funding companies. They’re financing infrastructure that now sits inside how American state power actually works. The real question is whether people recognize now that they’re watching the the public listing of the next layer of U.S. national security infrastructure.

The $AEGIS DApp portal is now open to all: 🛡️ At Aegis, we believe in empowering the blockchain full of security, transparency and innovation. The Aegis Dapp has been under development for several months prior to the launch of $AEGIS and with that we have been able to build what we believe has the potential to change how users go about their day to day security. We are thrilled to share our progress and truly exciting news with you all. 🎯 First things first, at Aegis, we want to make it clear that the value of what we seek to bring to security across the blockchain, comes from our big vision, our strong team, and our commitment to long-term goals. ℹ️ Let’s kick this off with some information that is constantly happening, which is behind the scenes. Our full team is dedicated to the opportunity that lays ahead of us with becoming the leading voice/name for security, grasping every aspect with innovation, hard work, passion and commitment to see this sector grow. Everyone is aware of how important security is, a heartwarming mention to Messari for including us on how they see this sector growing rapidly and pushing a 10 Billion evaluation. We take that recognition with full responsibility and gratitude as we've been working hard on some really powerful stuff that could change the game for our industry. If you read the title and report itself, I’m sure that’ll give you some insight to what’s coming, and to the vast extent of what you can expect Aegis to be working towards. —> 🤝 This comes from teaming up with others within this sector and coming up with new tech to projects driven by our community, within the pipeline you can be confident that what we are building will push the cryptocurrency industry as a whole into a better future, the magnitude to what Aegis brings will not stop until we can confidently say, “Negative security reports across the blockchain are at an all time low, thousands of users are satisfied that Aegis is protecting them and their assets.” We're sticking to our vision no matter what the market does or whatever else comes our way. We plan to build what we set out to and we will see to it that our ecosystem is met. We've been working on some pretty amazing products that will be available within our Dapp, let’s go over what we offer: * AI Audits * Live Monitoring * Penetration Testing * Bug Bounties * Live Watchdog * Token analytics for everyday users, developers, teams, auditors, institutions, investors. ⬇️ Let’s break it down for you in some simple steps: AI AUDITS: We have trained our LLM models as AI AGENTS, these consist of 3 people ( AI AGENTS ) for the audits that are performed. - Audit - Reviewer - Judge Each one analyzes with a different personality, let’s check what personalities our AI AGENTS consist of: 3 different perspective auditors. 1 - Fine-tuned model x amount reads the code and generates the audit. ✅ 2 - Model x amount reviews the code and fact checks thoroughly. ✅ 3 - Model x amount ranks the code based on the severity outcome. ✅ ⌚️ Live Monitoring/Watchdog: The Live Monitoring/Watchdog system is designed to provide real-time surveillance of smart contracts, ensuring the detection and prevention of any potentially harmful transactions or malicious activities. Through the utilization of an AI Agent model, the system is trained to proactively identify and thwart suspicious behavior, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the smart contracts. Also, a paid sophisticated threat detection model is available for more intricate protocols and Dapps, offering an advanced level of protection against potential threats. This proactive approach is crucial in mitigating the risk of exploitation and ensuring the security of the smart contract ecosystem. 🖊️ Pen Testing: Our platform offers Pen Testing services to developers, providing a controlled environment for whitehat hackers to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities in smart contracts and protocols. In addition to human whitehat hackers, our AI Agents function as Red and Blue teams, actively engaging in simulated attacks to stress-test protocols and identify potential weaknesses. This comprehensive approach allows developers to proactively identify and address security issues, ultimately enhancing the robustness and resilience of their projects. 🕷️ Bug Bounties: Our Bug Bounty listing platform provides developers with the opportunity to list their protocols and offer bounties to white hat hackers for identifying vulnerabilities. By aggregating millions of bounties from various platforms and utilizing AI tools, we streamline the testing process, reducing up to 80% of the workload typically associated with security testing. This allows developers to efficiently identify and address potential vulnerabilities in their protocols, ultimately enhancing the overall security and resilience of their projects. 🪙 And lot more token analytics features for regular users, this will give you the opportunity to explore our Dapp for yourself and have some fun diving into the security platform of the future! I’m sure you’re excited to try it all out yourself, which is why we have some exciting news to bring to the #Guardians of the blockchain! But just before you continue the read and see the beans have been spilled, we have to take this opportunity to share with you that this large step to becoming a security leader is but only 20% of what we have revealed. This will be at the core of what Aegis stands for and hopes to achieve. The focus here is upon our Dapp, and in time we will slowly bring forward information/updates regarding segments of what makes Aegis a force to be reckoned with. Now that you’re fired up and excited to all of the announcements to come, let’s get to the news you’ve been waiting for! 🎉 We’re spilling the good news, and are happy to say we are now set for public release! The team at Aegis are overwhelmed with the development, support from teams, community, partners and more on what we believe to be an institutional-grade product. But the fun doesn’t stop there, this marks the start of what we aim to become, as it will take time and cycles to become better and better. Constant advancements will be set in place to attain the goal of achieving blockchain security. A statement from our CEO- Brian Hunt: “I can confirm from the security conferences I attended with Centralized security firms Peckshield, Hacken, Certik, BlockSec presentations, they are trying to achieve something similar and it will take them years. Decentralized AI for Security!” This initial drop of our dapp will be to get users signed up to gain access, in which we’ll whitelist users to get the ball rolling. 📣 To end this segment, let’s get the party started with the long awaited Aegis Ai Security Dapp and sign up now!

Google just acquired an Israeli Trojan horse to STEAL clients from AWS and Microsoft. $32 billion. All cash. For a cybersecurity startup called Wiz. It’s the largest acquisition in Google’s history. But nobody’s talking about what they ACTUALLY bought... Here’s why this is way bigger than you think: Wiz protects over half the Fortune 100. Their clients run on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle. The platform scans every workload, every vulnerability, every misconfiguration across ALL of those clouds. Meaning Wiz has a god-level view of how the world's biggest companies use their competitors' infrastructure. And Google just bought that view for $32 billion. Now think about what Google Cloud's biggest problem has been for YEARS... They're stuck in third place. 13% market share. AWS has 30%. Azure has 20%. Google has been hemorrhaging money trying to close that gap and nothing has worked. Wiz changes that equation overnight. Because Wiz doesn't just protect cloud environments. It MAPS them. It knows which companies are running what workloads, where their vulnerabilities are, and where they're overpaying. Google now has a real-time blueprint of its competitors' biggest customers. And it gets crazier: The 4 founders of Wiz previously built Adallom, a cloud security startup that Microsoft acquired for $320 million in 2015. After that acquisition, those same founders ran Microsoft's entire Azure Cloud Security Group. They literally built the security infrastructure that Azure runs on today. Then they left. Started Wiz. Built a product that works across every cloud. Got 45% of the Fortune 100 as customers. Most of those customers are on AWS and Azure. And now they just handed ALL of that to Google. Google promised Wiz will remain "multi-cloud" and continue working with AWS, Azure, and Oracle. That's the public story. But here's the game theory every enterprise CTO is thinking about right now: If you're running sensitive workloads on AWS or Azure and your security layer is now owned by your competitor, how comfortable are you? Google doesn't need to do anything shady. The PERCEPTION alone is enough to start shifting enterprise decisions. And that's worth way more than $32 billion. But there's another layer... Wiz went from $0 to $100 million in revenue in 18 months. Fastest software company in history to hit that mark. By 2025, they were at $750 million. The founders said no to Google's first offer of $23 billion in 2024 because they wanted to IPO. 9 months later, they said yes to $32 billion. What changed? The IPO market collapsed. Tech IPOs dried up. Valuations got slashed. Wiz's leadership looked at the math and realized $32 billion in guaranteed cash beats an uncertain public offering in a hostile market. Google paid a 39% premium over the rejected offer. A multiple of 45-65x revenue. For a company founded 5 years ago by 4 guys who met in Israeli military intelligence. This is the BIGGEST tech acquisition of an Israeli-founded company ever. Bigger than Intel buying Mobileye for $15.3 billion. Bigger than anything in Israeli tech history. And Google is betting it will be worth every penny. Because the cloud war isn't about compute anymore. It's about TRUST. And the company that controls the security layer controls where enterprises put their most sensitive data. Google just bought the keys to every major cloud customer on the planet. The question is whether AWS and Microsoft let them keep using those keys. What do you think?

How Fake Doctors Blend In — and Why Passing Exams Is Not Enough How do you detect a fake doctor? In Alberta, that question is no longer theoretical. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta almost never refuses a licence. Between 2018 and 2025 it received 7,077 applications and rejected only 37 — an approval rate of 99.48%. Foreign medical graduates now make up more than 40% of the province’s doctors. Some come from countries where there is no reliable way to verify who they are. So how is an Albertan supposed to tell a licensed fake doctor from a licensed real one? In 2011, South African authorities dismantled what they described as a syndicate of bogus Nigerian doctors. The case was later cited in the South African Medical Journal by Janet Seggie, in an article titled “Trust me, I’m a ‘doctor’: Of bogus doctors, medical impostors, and medical fraudsters.” Her point was blunt: spotting a fake doctor is much harder than people think. She quoted an editorial published in The Lancet more than a century ago: “The bogus doctor is a criminal who is a specialist — and he is assisted by the credulity of others. Medical men... do not always take the precaution of establishing his identity, and laymen... who fall into his hands have not sufficient knowledge or sufficient observation to detect him.” A 1996 study from Bath University, reported in the Health Service Journal, showed how this works inside a hospital. More than 30 bogus doctors had been able to work for Britain’s National Health Service. As Hartland wrote, "a well-equipped bogus doctor can blend into the medical culture, taking up a position in the medical team, learning by apprenticeship, benefiting from the actions of colleagues, and accumulating experience. In many ways, bogus doctors are uncomfortably like genuine doctors.” That is why the ultimate test of legitimacy is not a licence, which Alberta hands out like candy. It is not a diploma, which can be purchased or forged. It is not even a Canadian exam, which a determined person can study for and pass. The real test is identity: graduation years, work history, and a record with no contradictions. In a profession that deals with life and death, there should be no room for inconsistencies. That is exactly the problem with Nigeria. Unlike South Africa and most G20 countries, it has no publicly accessible registry. Canadians have no independent way to verify the identity of anyone who claims to have been a doctor there. In 2024, Baby Alita was sent home from Beaverlodge Hospital in Alberta by Nigerian-trained “Dr.” Ogochukwu Obed Anizoba, despite her family’s unresolved concerns. She died hours later. Anizoba first denied ever being suspended in South Africa. He has in fact been suspended there since 2012, allegedly for misrepresentation and for not possessing a valid primary medical diploma from Nigeria. His brother, Tochukwu Gideon Anizoba, also practises as a doctor in Alberta and has three different graduation years listed for the same medical diploma. If identity cannot be verified, a licence does not settle the question. And while the U.K.’s medical accreditation body admits that "100% security is almost impossible," Alberta’s CPSA continues to dodge a more basic one: how many other highly questionable foreign graduates has it already licensed to practise medicine in Alberta?
