Emergys Forges Partnership with Glean to Accelerate Enterprise AI and Agentic Adoption

Alliance pairs Glean’s enterprise AI platform with Emergys’ expertise across SAP, ServiceNow, BMC, Salesforce and other enterprise platforms to turn scattered data and processes into measurable ROI

RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Emergys, a digital transformation services company announced a partnership with enterprise AI platform Glean to help enterprises move AI and agentic systems from pilot to production. While enterprises invest heavily in core platforms, critical knowledge remains fragmented.

Glean addresses this through three foundational pillars: an enterprise platform empowering teams to build custom AI agents across multiple models, a deep knowledge context graph that connects scattered information, and intelligent architecture that reduces AI token usage for Emergys customers. Emergys designs, deploys, and operates business-critical enterprise systems and workflows—implementing foundational platforms while Glean unifies the knowledge across them.

Under the partnership, customers gain access to unified AI search and knowledge across ERP, ESM, and CRM platforms, alongside agentic workflows that combine Glean Agents with Emergys’ EMY cross-platform AI agents. Additionally, the alliance delivers AI-powered managed services for business process automation and faster L1–L3 resolution while utilizing Glean’s context graph to uplift the enterprise value chain.

“Glean creates a tremendous synergy across the Emergys customer base, serving as a powerful add-on to our existing solutions, models, and Agentic AI framework,” said Krishna Prabhu, CEO, Emergys. “By uniting multi-model flexibility with complete enterprise context that makes AI work at scale, we are helping our clients optimize token efficiency and turn fragmented data and processes into real, measurable business outcomes.”

“Moving AI agents from pilots to production requires more than powerful models. It requires trusted enterprise context and the expertise to integrate AI into business-critical workflows,” said Zubin Irani, VP of Partnerships, Glean. “By combining Glean’s enterprise context with Emergys’ deep implementation expertise, we’re helping organizations put AI to work across their existing systems and drive meaningful business outcomes.”

Together, the companies will pursue joint opportunities across core enterprise, mid-market, and hi-tech deployments across the globe

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach 6.06 Million Tokens, and Total Crypto and Total Cash & Marketable Securities Holdings of $14.5 Billion

Bitmine owns 4.9% of the total ETH coin supply of 122.2 million

Bitmine sees 6 reasons this recent Binance theft is a sign of crypto industry strength

Bitmine is 99% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 15 months

Bitmine released Chairman’s Message on October 7 titled “Crypto Bull Underway — This Cycle Likely the Largest”

Bitmine was added to the Russell 1000 Large-cap index on June 26, 2026

Bitmine’s Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP

Bitmine has 5,227,037 staked ETH, representing $11.8 billion at $2,261 per ETH. MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors

Bitmine owns $82 million of Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to provide investors indirect exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings & Marketable Securities + “Moonshots” total $14.5 billion, including 6.06 million ETH tokens, total cash & marketable securities of $498 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support Bitmine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or the “Company”), a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash & marketable securities + “moonshots” holdings totaling $14.5 billion.

As of November 1, 2026 at 4:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 6,060,506 ETH at $2,261 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 216 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $82 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $498 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.2 million ETH).

“Late last week, Binance was hacked and $6.3 billion of customers’ funds was stolen. According to reports by Binance and other media sources, the exploit stems from an infiltration of a contractor into Binance’s corporate infrastructure. The FBI has named North Korea (DPRK) as the perpetrator. While this is a terrible development, in my view, the relatively muted crypto market reaction is very constructive, particularly compared to the market’s response to prior sizable crypto thefts,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

“In February 2025, ByBit was also hacked by DPRK (with a very different methodology) and $1.5 billion of customer crypto was stolen. The day the ByBit theft was announced, ETH fell 8% and was down 20% within a week. By contrast, since the Binance theft was disclosed, ETH went down 4%. We believe this is a far more muted market reaction despite the size of the theft being approximately quadruple the size,” continued Lee.

“We believe there are 6 reasons that explain why the Binance theft has a muted market reaction. These are:

1. Binance has the financial capabilities to cover all customer losses.
2. There was not a ‘cascade’ of Defi protocol failures, as was seen post-ByBit theft.
3. Swift industry action cut potential loss by 50%.
4. FBI named North Korea (DPRK) as the responsible party within 2 days of the theft. Historically, authorities have taken as long as 180 days to name DPRK in prior heists.
5. Exploit was a “corporate infiltration” of Binance infrastructure and not a blockchain exploit.
6. Limited price downside is a sign that a crypto “bull market” is underway, notwithstanding recent price declines.

And taken altogether, we believe this is a sign that the crypto industry is increasingly resilient and more capable of absorbing these nation-state assaults on financial infrastructure,” stated Lee.

“Over the past week, we acquired 8,573 ETH. Bitmine’s track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world. Bitmine has bought ETH each week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025,” stated Lee.

On October 7, Bitmine released its latest Chairman’s message titled “Crypto Bull Underway — This Cycle Likely the Largest.” The presentation is available at the Bitmine website (presentation link).

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN has expanded to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of November 1, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,227,037 ($11.8 billion at $2,261 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward would be $415 million on an annualized basis (using 3.03% 7-day BMNR yield). This compares to annualized staking revenues at $358 million based upon 5.2 million staked ETH (86% of the 6.06 million ETH held by Bitmine),” continued Lee.

Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 848,517 BTC valued at approximately $71 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the U.S. action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today.

Industry Takedown of Botnet Hidden in More Than 1.3 Million TV Set-Top Boxes across 200 Countries

Google, Plume, TrendAI™, Lumen, HUMAN Security, Synthient and Japan’s National Police Agency form coordinated effort combining security research, threat intelligence and network expertise to identify and disrupt X.CPE botnet

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, a group of private and public sector partners announced a coordinated takedown of X.CPE, a global botnet hidden in more than 1.3 million set-top boxes across more than 200 countries. Hidden on devices before they were ever sold, the botnet used subscribers’ devices and home internet connections without their knowledge or consent. This takedown was led by Google, Plume, TrendAI™, Lumen, HUMAN Security and Synthient, along with Japan’s National Police Agency.

“Operations like this raise the cost for criminals and show that the infrastructure they rely on isn’t out of reach,” said Charley Snyder, Head of Disruption Operations at Google Threat Intelligence Group. “Disrupting X.CPE took partners across industry working together. It’s proof that collaboration is one of the most powerful tools we have against threats that cross borders and industries.”

A familiar device hiding an unfamiliar threat

X.CPE was embedded in firmware, the software that controls a device’s basic operations, before set-top boxes reached subscribers’ homes. X.CPE was built to evade pre-release security checks, and Google has since updated its review process in response, as well as banned the responsible OEM and any future subsidiaries or affiliates from making devices with preloaded Google apps. Unlike infections that depend on a user opening a suspicious attachment or installing an application, this threat arrived as part of the device itself. Subscribers received no consent request, notification or opt-out options.

Google, Plume, TrendAI™, Lumen, HUMAN Security, Synthient, working with Japan’s National Police Agency, carried out a coordinated disruption campaign against X.CPE. Each organization contributed in its own way, applying its expertise in connected-device security, malware analysis, network visibility and digital fraud to analyze the botnet and disrupt its operations.

Together they dismantled a threat hiding behind seemingly routine device activity: software embedded in TV set-top boxes that gave botnet controllers remote access and allowed them to exploit home broadband connections without subscriber consent. The takedown also disrupted the command-and-control domains that operate the criminal affiliates’ malware modules. Because these affiliates distribute their modules through channels beyond X.CPE, Google assesses that taking down these domains will sever access to at least 10 million additional compromised devices.

The effort demonstrates the importance of connecting intelligence across organizations to confront threats that cross technology and network boundaries. By bringing together distinct perspectives on compromised devices, malicious software and internet traffic, the partners supported a coordinated takedown aimed at disrupting unauthorized access and monetization and addressing risks to subscriber privacy, broadband resources and trust in connected devices.

Turning home broadband into a business without permission

The botnet generated revenue from compromised devices in a variety of ways, including: reselling bandwidth, delivering video content, ad fraud, loading additional backdoors and, in earlier versions, installing apps for payment.

Residential proxy software allowed third-party traffic to pass through subscribers’ internet connections, using their home internet addresses and bandwidth without permission. Researchers also found collection of device, network and account information, alongside persistent remote access capabilities.

For service providers, the findings highlight a supply chain risk that may not be apparent from a device’s everyday performance. A functioning streaming box can still generate unexplained traffic and undermine trust in the broadband service.

“Protecting the connected home requires visibility into threats that subscribers cannot see and should not be expected to detect,” said Chris Griffiths, Chief Technology Officer at Plume. “By contributing broadband intelligence to this joint effort, we helped expose hidden supply chain risks and support coordinated action to make networks safer for service providers and their subscribers.“

Complementary expertise, coordinated action

The partners contributed to the Google-led effort to disrupt X.CPE:

TrendAI™

Robert McArdle, Director of Cybercrime Research at TrendAI™

“We applaud Google’s decisive action in removing this threat. Our research identified over 1.3 million devices affected by this campaign. That’s millions of households and businesses completely unaware that their equipment was being used as an accessory in active criminality – whether defrauding advertisers or piggybacking on their connections to carry out other attacks via residential proxies – which would commonly include identity theft impersonating people in their region. This action by Google and research partners significantly sets back these attackers, and TrendAI research will be watching them closely if they attempt to rebuild.”

HUMAN

Gavin Reid, CISO at HUMAN

“Compromised-device networks are sustained by profit: operators take control of devices and household connections without consent, then monetise that access through proxy services and various fraud activities. Group action, as exemplified in this operation, interrupts the infrastructure needed for monetisation, raising the cost of operating these networks and weakening the incentives that sustain them. “

SYNTHIENT

Benjamin Brundage, CEO at Synthient.

“Illicit pay-per-install networks provide a significant backbone to the larger fraud ecosystem, powering everything from direct ad fraud to unregulated proxy networks that push credential stuffing and DDoS botnets. The takedown of X.Cpe helps protect this space as a whole, as well as the unsuspecting consumers victimized by this scheme.” – Benjamin Brundage

Infineum Expands India Footprint with New Mumbai Office as Demand for High-Performance Lubricants Grows

MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infineum, a global leader in specialty additives, today officially opened the new premises for its India office in Andheri East, Mumbai, reinforcing its long-term commitment to one of the world’s fastest-growing mobility and energy markets.

Located within one of Mumbai’s key commercial hubs, the new office positions Infineum to collaborate closely with customers, partners and industry stakeholders, while supporting the company’s continued growth in India. The opening marks another significant milestone in Infineum’s expanding presence in the country, following the inauguration of the new blending facility operated exclusively for Infineum in Patalganga earlier this year.

India represents a major growth opportunity for the global lubricants industry. As the world’s third-largest automotive and lubricants market, the country is expected to deliver lubricant demand growth of more than 3% annually over the next decade. This is underpinned by strong economic fundamentals, expanding mobility needs and a growing focus on higher-performance, more sustainable lubricant technologies.

Harshad Jambaulikar, General Manager, Infineum India, said: “The opening of our new Mumbai office reflects Infineum’s long-term commitment to India. As India advances its vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, we are proud to continue strengthening our local presence. We will do so by building deeper customer relationships, and investing in capabilities that support the country’s growing mobility and industrial sectors. Together with our dedicated blending capability in Patalganga, this office further enhances our ability to serve customers with greater agility.”

Infineum has been actively supporting India’s automotive and lubricant industries for more than a decade. Over the years, the company has contributed to key industry advancements, including the transition to the American Petroleum Institute (API) FA-4 and European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) E8 quality standards, while establishing a leading position in the Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) commercial vehicles and passenger car markets.

The company works closely with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), lubricant marketers and industry stakeholders to develop technologies that improve engine performance, enhance fuel economy, extend equipment life and help reduce environmental impact.

John Hong, Asia Pacific Sales Director, Infineum, said: “India is one of Infineum’s most important growth markets in Asia Pacific and a cornerstone of our long-term regional strategy. The country continues to offer significant opportunities, with strong demand for advanced lubricant technologies expected to continue as the mobility landscape evolves. Our continued investments in India demonstrate our commitment to being a long-term partner to customers and supporting the next chapter of the country’s mobility and industrial development.”
