Google’s John Mueller answered a question about Google rewriting title tags to show the old brand of a site that rebranded in 2015. Apparently everything was updated to the new brand name, but Google’s search results stubbornly persist in showing the old branding. Old Brand Name Shown In Title Tags The person asking the question on Bluesky related that a company updated their entire site with its new branding, but Google ignores it in favor of showing the old branding in the search results. They posted: “Hey @johnmu.com, curious about Site Name persistence. Treatwell (UK) is still showing as “Wahanda”…

The XIAO range of ESP32 chips recently got a new addition, with the ESP32-C5 entering the fray. It’s the first to support dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6, along with Bluetooth 5 LE, Zigbee, and Thread. It’s a very “typical” XIAO ESP32 chip in the sense that it’s compact, has integrated battery management, and supports low power operation. Seeed Studio sent me one for review, alongside a selection of Grove sensors and an expansion board, so I built my own personal desk buddy just to see what it’s capable of. I received the following Grove sensors: a Digital…

The North Korean threat actors behind the Contagious Interview campaign, also tracked as WaterPlum, have been attributed to a malware family tracked as StoatWaffle that’s distributed via malicious Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) projects. The use of VS Code “tasks.json” to distribute malware is a relatively new tactic adopted by the threat actor since December 2025, with the attacks leveraging the “runOn: folderOpen” option to automatically trigger its execution every time any file in the project folder is opened in VS Code. “This task is configured so that it downloads data from a web application on Vercel regardless of…

While Nothing has yet to deliver a true flagship phone, the brand continues to release devices that stand out from the crowd, which is probably why it appeals to a certain audience.

By compromising an ADC or a VPN, an attacker doesn’t just break in—they become a trusted user. This allows them to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), steal session tokens, and move laterally across the entire network undetected. Compounding this risk is the fact that nearly 40% of top-targeted vulnerabilities in 2025 impacted end-of-life (EOL) devices that can no longer be patched. The siege on MFA and identity The report highlights a staggering 178% surge in device compromise attacks, where attackers register their own hardware as a trusted factor in a victim’s MFA account. Social engineering dominates: Attackers are finding it easier…

Broadcom announced Symantec CBX (Carbon Black XDR), a cloud-based platform that combines Symantec and Carbon Black technologies in one intuitive solution. CBX addresses the needs of the industry’s largest and historically underserved market: organizations that lack the resources and training for complex security implementations but face the same formidable attackers and threats. While today’s cyberattacks continue to escalate, organizations that used to fly under the radar of sophisticated attackers are facing more advanced persistent threats and nation-state level cyber adversaries. Out-of-reach defense capabilities, staffing shortages, and costly and complex point solutions leave these teams unable to outmaneuver increasingly sophisticated attacks.…

With AI, you can generate dozens (if not hundreds) of articles in hours and publish at scale. But publishing is the easy part. What happens after they go live is what matters. Together with the research team at SE Ranking, we ran a 16-month experiment to track how well AI-generated content performed on brand-new domains with zero authority. As you will see, the results are hard to call a success. Here’s the full story behind our experiment. Methodology The goal was simple: test how far AI content — with no human editing, rewriting, or enhancement — could go in search.…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR Phone brand TECNO is planning to partner with OpenClaw to automate parts of the tasks on its smartphones. OpenClaw would soon power TECNO’s smart assistant, Ella, to autonomously execute tasks. Like Pixel’s Magic Cue, OpenClaw on TECNO phones would provide contextual suggestions and help combine information from different apps. Popular AI chatbots such as Gemini and ChatGPT are slowly transitioning to assuming roles as agents, where they execute part of the process without your active involvement. While these systems are still evolving, another platform, OpenClaw, recently rose to prominence and offered a glimpse of what…
