Arelion launches second fully diverse route from Querétaro to Monterrey to enhance AI connectivity in Mexico
Arelion has launched a second fully diverse dense wavelengthdivision multiplexing( DWDM) route from Querétaro to Monterrey, Mexico, strengthening support for the country’ s expanding AI and cloud markets.
The expansion enhances resilience with Arelion’ s second fully underground fiber route between the regions, linking Mexico’ s key digital hubs to the company’ s AI superhighway in Latin America.
The route also extends high-availability connectivity to technology markets in Texas via McAllen and Laredo, supporting wholesale and enterprise customers with reliable access to Arelion’ s ecosystem of AI, content and cloud applications.
Arelion’ s new route delivers the high-capacity, low-latency performance enterprises need to run data-intensive applications and scale with growing bandwidth demands. Powered by C + L band open optical line systems and next-generation 400G / 800G coherent pluggable optics, the network is designed to meet the requirements of AI and cloud applications across Querétaro and Central Mexico.
The project forms part of Arelion’ s ongoing Latin American expansion to drive economic growth and Digital Transformation, supporting nearshoring, financial services, manufacturing, gaming and content streaming.
Customers now have enhanced access to low-latency IP Transit, scalable Wavelengths, 100G Ethernet Virtual Private Line( EVPL), Cloud Connect and other global connectivity services.
Zimperium warns of security risks from rooting and jailbreaking tools in mobile devices
Zimperium’ s research has highlighted how modern rooting frameworks, such as KernelSU, APatch, and SKRoot, bypass traditional security measures, giving attackers deep access to compromised devices. These tools typically rely on weak or improperly implemented authentication mechanisms, allowing malicious applications to gain full control over a device.
Zimperium, a leader in mobile security, is warning organizations about the growing risks posed by rooting and jailbreaking tools, which continue to expose mobile devices to severe security vulnerabilities.
The tools, often developed by independent developers without proper security oversight, enable unauthorized access to mobile systems and can be exploited by cybercriminals.
One such vulnerability in the KernelSU rooting framework allows attackers to bypass authentication and gain root access. The flaw exploits weaknesses in how the kernel verifies legitimate applications, enabling attackers to impersonate trusted apps and escalate their privileges. Despite the passage of time, this vulnerability remains a critical risk to mobile device security, with cybercriminals increasingly targeting these weak points.
“ These vulnerabilities put millions of users at risk, as attackers can exploit them to steal sensitive data or take full control of compromised devices,” said Nico Chiaraviglio, Chief Scientist at Zimperium.“ Rooting tools are often updated without thorough security reviews, making them a persistent threat to enterprise mobile security.” p
