Google’s latest research suggests the cryptocurrency industry may have less time than expected to prepare for quantum computing. In a whitepaper, Google examines risks to elliptic curve cryptography, the system securing most blockchain networks. The researchers revisit earlier assumptions about how difficult it would be for a quantum computer to break these protections, concluding that the required resources may be lower than previously estimated. “To share this research responsibly, we engaged with the U.S. government and developed a new method to describe these vulnerabilities via a zero-knowledge proof, so they can be verified without providing a roadmap for bad actors.…

Bose refreshed its best ANC headphones late last year, making a great audio product even better with the launch of the QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones. They’re perfect for travel, with a compact fold-flat design and included protective carrying case. You have plenty of connectivity options, including Bluetooth, USB-C audio, and a 2.5mm audio jack. Of course, Bose’s active noise-canceling chops and immersive audio modes are great for listening in noisy environments.I’ve taken the QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones on multiple international trips, and they’ve replaced the AirPods Max as my go-to cans for long flights.

“Every major capability can be adopted independently, with simple and transparent pricing that addresses real-world usage, while remaining part of a single unified system,” wrote Nimmy Reichenberg, senior vice president of product marketing at Cato, in a blog about the news. “But modular does not mean disconnected. No matter where you start, you immediately tap into the full power of the Cato SASE Platform.” Cato is positioning the move as part of what it calls the “platform economy,” arguing that vendors bundling separately acquired products under a single brand push operational complexity and costs onto customers. “The Platform Economy reflects…
Cisco has suffered a cyberattack after threat actors used stolen credentials from the recent Trivy supply chain attack to breach its internal development environment and steal source code belonging to the company and its customers. A source, who asked to remain anonymous, told BleepingComputer that Cisco’s Unified Intelligence Center, CSIRT, and EOC teams contained the breach involving a malicious “GitHub Action plugin” from the recent Trivy compromise. The attackers used the malicious GitHub Action to steal credentials and data from the company’s build and development environment, impacting dozens of devices, including some developer and lab workstations. While the initial breach has been contained,…

Google’s Gary Illyes published a blog post explaining how Googlebot’s crawling systems work. The post covers byte limits, partial fetching behavior, and how Google’s crawling infrastructure is organized. The post references episode 105 of the Search Off the Record podcast, where Illyes and Martin Splitt discussed the same topics. Illyes adds more details about crawling architecture and byte-level behavior. What’s New Googlebot Is One Client Of A Shared Platform Illyes describes Googlebot as “just a user of something that resembles a centralized crawling platform.” Google Shopping, AdSense, and other products all send their crawl requests through the same system under…
Can “vibe coding” truly democratize game development? This was the central question I was left with after a weekend spent testing the latest iterations of LLMs, from Codex to Google Antigravity and Claude Code. After Claude demonstrated a surprising edge in spinning up a functional Python-based platformer with very limited context, I decided to push the experiment a little further. This time would be a little different, though. Instead of acting as a proctor, I would act as a collaborative partner, providing a bit of fine-tuning wherever I deem necessary. The results, well, were nothing short of striking, and it’s…
