I’ve been testing the Galaxy S26 Plus for just over a week now, and the new Samsung flagship is packed with upgraded AI features as part of One UI 8.5. And while there’s no doubt a lot to like about the software, one notable downgrade has unfortunately persisted on Samsung’s latest devices, and it has to do with Gemini.One of my favorite shortcuts to trigger Gemini is the Swipe for Assistant, a gesture available on many Android phones, including Pixels, OnePlus, and Motorola devices. When enabled, you simply swipe diagonally from the bottom corner of the screen, and Gemini will…

Over 7,500 Magento sites have been hit in a mass defacement campaign that started three weeks ago, digital risk protection platform Netcraft reports. As part of the attacks, threat actors deployed defacement files directly on the affected infrastructure, in the form of plaintext files, across more than 15,000 hostnames. Most of the observed text files contain the attacker handles, but a fraction of them involve political messages referencing recent geopolitical conflicts. “At the time of publication, these messages appeared for only a single day, 7 March 2026. They were not present in earlier or later defacements, suggesting that this was…
If your law firm’s referrals aren’t converting, validation may be the problem. Referred prospects don’t go straight from recommendation to contact. They research, compare, and verify what they were told — on your website, in search results, and through AI tools. These are your highest-value leads — pre-sold through trusted recommendations and expected to be your easiest conversions. But when that validation falls short, even they lose momentum. This is the referral validation gap: the moments during online research when trust is broken rather than built. Here’s where referral validation fails and how to fix it. While this article focuses…
The ubiquitous nature of USB-C really didn’t arrive a second too soon. Pretty much all modern devices now use some form of USB-C, and in terms of the connector shape itself, that’s great, but there are many different standards packed into USB-C that make it a deceiving cable to use.

Ravie LakshmananMar 21, 2026Malware / Threat Intelligence The threat actors behind the supply chain attack targeting the popular Trivy scanner are suspected to be conducting follow-on attacks that have led to the compromise of a large number of npm packages with a previously undocumented self-propagating worm dubbed CanisterWorm. The name is a reference to the fact that the malware uses an ICP canister, which refers to tamperproof smart contracts on the Internet Computer blockchain, as a dead drop resolver. The development marks the first publicly documented abuse of an ICP canister for the explicit purpose of fetching the command-and-control (C2)…
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityA leak earlier this week pointed to a new reMarkable tablet headed to shelves, reportedly called the “Paper Pure.” Details are beyond sparse (one image and a pair of sentences), but the early framing suggests the company may be aiming to open its experience to a wider audience. Described as a more “mass-market” device, the Paper Pure is expected to land in the second quarter of the year. If that’s the case, here’s what I hope to see reMarkable do. What do you want to see most from the rumored reMarkable Paper Pure?16 votesAn approchable price…
