An international law enforcement action called Operation Alice has shut down over 373,000 dark web sites that offered fake CSAM packages. The investigation, led by Germany and supported by Europol, began in mid-2021 and focused on a platform called “Alice with Violence CP,” operated by a 35-year-old suspect based in China. These sites advertised child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and cybercrime-as-a-service offerings, including stolen credit card data and access to compromised systems.

My phone rang. “Animal Detected.” Again. That’s it. No name, no location, no indication of whether the “animal” was one of my two spaniels, Izzy, and Phoebe, patrolling, or a squirrel running up one of my trees. Just “Animal Detected,” a uselessly vague home security notification. I’ve been staring at variations of that since I installed my third-generation Google Nest Doorbell last fall. So when Google quietly started rolling out a software update that was something completely different, I had to try it. I pulled up Google Home on my iPhone, tapped the microphone, and asked: “Hey Google, where is…

EFF joined other digital rights and civil liberties organizations in calling out the unconstitutionality of Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr’s recent threats to punish broadcasters for airing statements he disagrees with. Carr’s recent threats, like his past threats, are unconstitutional efforts to coerce news coverage that favors President Donald Trump. He wrongly claims that the FCC’s “public interest” standard allows him and the commission to revoke the licenses of broadcasters who publish news that is unflattering to the government is anathema to our country’s core constitutional values. The First Amendment constrains the FCC’s authority to force broadcasters to toe the government’s line, even though broadcast licensees are required to operate in the “public interest, convenience, and necessity.” Imposing restrictions on licensees’ speech, especially…
AI won’t make SEO obsolete, but it’ll change how the work gets done. There’s a growing concern that as AI systems improve, they’ll replace the need for human SEO analysis entirely. Early experiments suggest otherwise. While AI can assist with technical tasks and even generate usable outputs, it still depends heavily on detailed human input, structured data, and technical oversight to produce meaningful results. The real shift is toward redistribution. AI is accelerating parts of the workflow, raising the bar for execution, and changing where human expertise matters most. Why AI hasn’t made SEO obsolete AI aims to reduce the…

With practical quantum computers predicted to arrive in the next decade or so, technologists worry about the risks to encrypted data traveling over current Web protocols, but a new infrastructure proposed by an Internet standards group could future-proof against quantum attacks. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) could allow the decryption of secure traffic using HTTPS and the spoofing of secure servers. Shoring up the security of the Internet with the structures used today requires adopting post-quantum algorithms that come with significant trade-offs.Browser makers have already adopted additions to the current Transport Layer Security (TLS) standard for securing communications against the most…

Hardwired (Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)In Hardwired, AC Senior Editor Harish Jonnalagadda delves into all things hardware, including phones, audio products, storage servers, and networking gear.Thermal management is one of the biggest issues with wearables; the limited real estate on devices like smartwatches and smart glasses prevents conventional solutions — like a custom layer that’s used on phones to siphon heat away from the internals. That’s just not possible to do on a tiny PCB that houses all the parts needed for XR glasses, and this will only be an issue as these glasses start getting additional features…
