AbstractMulticomponent transition metal carbides are promising for extreme-environment applications, but identifying compositions that are both synthesizable and hard remains challenging. We fine-tune the MACE machine-learned interatomic potential on approximately 28,000 density functional theory calculations spanning the composition space of groups 4–6 transition metals and carbon to predict the thermodynamic stability and elastic properties of multicomponent carbides. The fine-tuned model achieves formation energy errors of ~10 meV/atom for thermodynamically relevant structures with only 20% of the training data. We screen over 1500 equiatomic compositions across rocksalt, hexagonal, and hcp prototypes, combining free energy models with elasticity-based hardness surrogates. Synthesizability predictions at 1500 °C agree well with experimental reports for both single-phase and multiphase carbides.

IT management software company ConnectWise shut down several of its services this weekend after Microsoft and other cybersecurity companies warned of a supply chain attack impacting its cloud backup system.  ConnectWise initially said on Friday that it was investigating “attempts of unauthorized access associated with the ConnectWise Cloud Backup environment,” and confirmed such access on Saturday.   Incident responders at cybersecurity firm Huntress said a credential belonging to ConnectWise Cloud Backup was compromised and used to gain access to the customers’ Microsoft 365 environment.  Microsoft confirmed in its own statement that threat actors “likely abused permissions previously granted by customers to the application, including highly elevated permissions like Directory. ReadWrite. All.”  ConnectWise Cloud Backup is a cloud-based backup and recovery service designed to help protect data in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The tool needs broad access to mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and other data, according to Huntress.
