DETROIT, Feb. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wanxiang A123 Systems Corp. successfully hosted its global launch event at Wanxiang Innovation Energy City, unveiling a breakthrough energy storage platform designed to address the industry’s most critical challenge: safety. Under the theme “Gathering Stars, Smart Storage Future,” the event marked a decisive shift in energy storage safety—from reactive fire suppression to intrinsic, system-level prevention.

At the event, Wanxiang A123 introduced the Star Series semi-solid-state battery cells and the Star River Series energy storage solutions, representing the world’s first deep integration of semi-solid-state battery technology with immersion cooling. This architecture establishes a new benchmark for thermal safety and system reliability across high-risk applications.

The Star Series cells leverage proprietary technologies to fundamentally resolve electrolyte leakage and instability. In a highly publicized 10-needle puncture test, a 100 Ah semi-solid-state cell remained fully stable, exhibiting no fire, no explosion, and no thermal propagation—a level of intrinsic safety unattainable with conventional liquid lithium-ion batteries.

At the system level, the Star River Series employs full immersion cooling, maintaining cell temperature variance within 2 °C, even under demanding operating conditions. This dual-layer protection—combining material-level stability with active thermal isolation—creates a robust safety barrier against thermal runaway and ensures reliable operation in extreme environments.

Beyond safety, the platform delivers compelling economic performance. The system achieves a cycle life exceeding 10,000 cycles at room temperature, and more than 7,000 cycles at 45 °C, representing a 40% improvement over industry averages. Its superior high-temperature resilience reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) by approximately 15%, offering customers a highly cost-effective, long-term solution.

The Star River Series solution matrix addresses four core application scenarios. For data centers, the platform features an 800 V HVDC architecture capable of serving as a primary power source. Outdoor cabinet solutions are engineered with IP68-rated protection to withstand extreme environmental conditions. For offshore and logistics-constrained applications, modular 5-ft containers enable efficient shipping, while 20-ft container systems integrate multi-stage fire suppression and three-level BMS protection for large-scale deployments.

Further enhancing system intelligence, Wanxiang A123 introduced a Wireless BMS + AI platform incorporating pressure-sensing technology capable of identifying thermal runaway risks up to 10 minutes earlier than conventional monitoring systems. This advancement enables predictive safety management and supports the transition toward unmanned, intelligent energy storage operations.

Zero-False-Positive Authentication Monitoring Now Available Free for 90 Days, No Commitment as AiTM/Evilginx Attacks Bypass MFA Protections Across the Enterprise

BREA, Calif., Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ThreatHunter.ai, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business providing 24/7 threat hunting services since 2007, today announced that its MILBERT.ai real-time authentication monitoring platform is now available free for 90 days with no commitment required to qualified firms. The decision comes as Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks using tools like Evilginx continue to compromise organizations that believe their Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) makes them safe. It does not.

MILBERT processes authentication events in real time, currently handling 6,380 authentication events per second per customer with near zero false positives. Unlike traditional security tools that flood SOC teams with alerts they cannot act on, MILBERT identifies actual compromised accounts and credential abuse as it happens, not after the damage is done, and takes immediate action and closes the Threat Actor down.

The MFA Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About

AiTM attacks using frameworks like Evilginx sit between users and their authentication providers. When a user enters their credentials and completes MFA, the attacker captures the session token in real time. The user sees a normal login. The attacker walks right through MFA as if it does not exist. Organizations that spent significant budgets deploying MFA are being breached because they believe the problem is solved. It is not.

“I am watching company after company get breached through AiTM attacks while their security teams tell leadership that MFA has them covered,” said James McMurry, CEO and Founder of ThreatHunter.ai. “MFA is not the finish line. It is a speed bump for attackers using Evilginx. We built MILBERT to catch exactly this, real-time detection of compromised authentication events with zero false positives. If we can help organizations see what is actually happening in their environment before it becomes a breach notification, we are going to do that.”

“From day one, this company has been about one thing, protecting organizations from threat actors who are constantly evolving their tactics,” said Eric Cowperthwaite, COO of ThreatHunter.ai. “We have watched the industry sell MFA as a silver bullet for years while attackers developed tools that go right through it. The reality is that most organizations have no visibility into whether their authenticated sessions are legitimate or hijacked. MILBERT changes that equation completely. Offering 90 days free is not a marketing play. It is consistent with who we have always been.”

How MILBERT Works

MILBERT monitors authentication events in real time across the enterprise environment. It analyzes login patterns, session behavior, and credential usage to identify compromised accounts, token theft, and AiTM attacks as they occur. The platform’s zero false positive track record means that when MILBERT flags an event, security teams can act immediately with confidence rather than chasing phantom alerts.

Qualified firms can deploy MILBERT free for 90 days with no commitment required. There are no feature gates, no sales calls required to get started, and no obligation at the end of the trial.
