REPLY: Registration for the Sixth Edition of the Reply Code Challenge Is Now Open
8.2.2023 11:30:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Registration is now open for the sixth edition of the Reply Code Challenge, the leading online team competition that presents developers with logic and algorithm problems, with more than 15,000 coders from 98 countries in 2022.
In the 2023 edition of the Reply Code Challenge is based on the famous 'Snake and Ladders' game. In this challenge, participants will have to create an algorithm capable of securing corporate networks by exploiting a simulation in the metaverse.
The challenge will take place online on Thursday 9th of March 2023 and is open to coders from all over the world. Two challenges will run simultaneously: the Standard Edition, aimed at university students and professionals, and the Teen Edition open to 14 to 19-year-olds.
The University Students League programme is confirmed with this sixth Standard Edition. Each participant will contribute to both their teams’ and their university's score. The university that obtains the highest score, calculated by the sum of the scores obtained by the coders of each university, will win a prize of their choice. Namely, financial support for a university project or an arcade game for their university common rooms.
The High School Students League, which is the challenge between high schools, enriches the competition for the youngest participants of the Teen Edition. By taking part in the Code Challenge, each team will contribute to their high school's ranking. The winning team will be able to receive a €2,000 donation for their school and a dedicated coding course created by Reply experts, adding educational value to the competition.
The teams will be able to submit as many solutions as they build during the competition time, using all programming languages, including C++ and Python. The podium will be determined by the algorithms that obtain the best score during the tests.
The Reply Code Challenge allows players to test their limits by offering them the opportunity to improve their programming skills. It also enables them to learn new skills as the challenges are modelled using real-life scenarios. Players will be able to experiment with new technologies, programming languages and problem-solving strategies, all of which are essential to thrive in the programming industry.
Reply inaugurates the schedule of 2023 Reply Challenges with this launch. The confirmed challenges this year are the Investment challenge in May, designed to introduce students to the world of investment, and the Cyber Security in October, based on the search for specific vulnerabilities hidden within software and computer systems.
Reply is committed to the development of innovative training models and develops initiatives such as the Reply Challenges, (a community of 100,000 players) and the Master's degree courses on Digital Finance at the POLIMI Graduate School of Management and on AI & Cloud at the Politecnico di Torino. Reply aims to also involve the new generations starting from the youngest audience with programmes such as Reply Code For Kids.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 16:31:00 EET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 14:00:00 EET | Press release
Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security solutions for the very vulnerabilities their models create. If the industry continues to integrate autonomous code wi
