Mid-market security teams face a critical blind spot, and Chris Wallis has witnessed it firsthand. “A lot of organizations are still counting vulnerabilities,” the Intruder founder and CEO told Dark Reading’s Terry Sweeney. “The important thing is how quickly you’re fixing them.” With CVE counts surging from 30,000 to 50,000 annually — and AI-assisted discovery likely to push that higher — the gap between identifying and addressing vulnerabilities is becoming a major business risk.Wallis, drawing on his penetration testing career, explains why CVE-only strategies leave organizations exposed. During engagements, he often found fully patched environments still compromised due to misconfigured…

I feel like you either love custom fonts or you hate them. But this is absolutely fine, because those who love them can use them, while those who don’t, don’t have to — though I will admit a frisson of horror every time I see that Samsung font on a phone. Unfortunately, Samsung didn’t get the memo, because it seems to have accidentally broken a bunch of custom fonts with its March security update for One UI 8 and 8.5 (via Android Authority). Samsung patched a vital vulnerability Security updates wouldn’t be what you’d assume would break font support, but…
Ravie LakshmananMar 31, 2026Cloud Security / AI Security Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a security “blind spot” in Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform that could allow artificial intelligence (AI) agents to be weaponized by an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and compromise an organization’s cloud environment. According to Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, the issue relates to how the Vertex AI permission model can be misused by taking advantage of the service agent’s excessive permission scoping by default. “A misconfigured or compromised agent can become a ‘double agent’ that appears to serve its intended purpose, while secretly exfiltrating…
Technical SEO extends beyond indexing to how content is discovered and used, especially as AI systems generate answers instead of listing pages. For generative engine optimization (GEO), the underlying tools and frameworks remain largely the same, but how you implement them determines whether your content gets surfaced — or overlooked. That means focusing on how AI agents access your site, how content is structured for extraction, and how reliably it can be interpreted and reused in generated responses. Agentic access control: Managing the bot frontier From a technical standpoint, robots.txt is a tool you already use in your SEO arsenal.…
TL;DR New CAD-based renders offer our first good look at Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 Pro. The phone appears to keep the overall design of the Pixel 10 relatively intact. The biggest exterior change we’re seeing is the same camera bar redesign teased earlier on the smaller Pixel 11. Google’s next new smartphones are probably still at least another four-months-and-change away, but that’s not stopping us from already getting an early look at where the Pixel family could be headed with its hardware design. We started off the week checking out the first real nice preview we’ve gotten yet of the…
US prosecutors have charged a Maryland man in connection with two hacks of the Uranium Finance cryptocurrency exchange that led to losses exceeding $50 million. Jonathan Spalletta, also known as “Cthulhon” and “Jspalletta,” is accused of abusing vulnerabilities in Uranium Finance smart contracts to siphon assets from the platform. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison for computer fraud and 20 years for money laundering. “As alleged, Jonathan Spalletta repeatedly hacked smart contracts to steal millions of dollars’ worth of other people’s money and destroyed a cryptocurrency exchange in the process,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.…

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is wrapping up, and the Nothing Phone (3) has dropped to $599 (originally $799) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB model.

This is Nothing’s most ambitious phone yet (according to this PCMag review), and it shows in how it tries to compete directly with flagship devices while still doing its own thing. The design, as noted in our own review of…

The Trump administration’s decision to not attend the world’s biggest cybersecurity conference sent the wrong message to partners, experts said.
We’ve all seen it. Brands with healthy websites and excellent content have been watching their organic traffic from Google’s SERP erode for years. In a recent webinar hosted by Search Engine Journal, guest speaker Nikhil Lai, principal analyst of Performance Marketing for Forrester Research, estimated his clients are losing between 10 and 40% of organic and direct traffic year-over-year. However, a stunning bright spot is this: Lai said referral traffic from answer engines is growing 40% month over month. Visitors arriving from those engines convert at two to four times the rate of traditional search visitors, spend three times as…
