Ravie LakshmananMar 19, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking News ThreatsDay Bulletin is back on The Hacker News, and this week feels off in a familiar way. Nothing loud, nothing breaking everything at once. Just a lot of small things that shouldn’t work anymore but still do. Some of it looks simple, almost sloppy, until you see how well it lands. Other bits feel a little too practical, like they’re already closer to real-world use than anyone wants to admit. And the background noise is getting louder again, the kind people usually ignore. A few stories are clever in a bad way. Others…

So, let’s say you spent six months building a resource library: guides, explainers, comparison pages, all well-researched and clearly written, structured for humans who are trying to make decisions. Your analytics show strong engagement, and your team is proud of the work. Then someone asks ChatGPT a question your library answers perfectly, and the response cites a competitor. Not because the competitor was more accurate or more thorough, but because they published original benchmark data that the model could not find anywhere else. Your content was correct; theirs was irreplaceable. That distinction now helps decide who gets cited and who…

Cobalt has released new AI capabilities for continuous pentesting. Delivered through the Cobalt Offensive Security Platform, these next-generation components integrate AI with human pentesters and more than a decade of proprietary pentesting intelligence to accelerate the speed, scale, and depth of offensive security programs. Attackers are increasingly using AI to automate reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation. At the same time, development practices are accelerating release velocity and expanding the attack surface across APIs, microservices, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered applications. Security teams can no longer rely on periodic testing to understand their exposure, they must validate real-world risk continuously. The Cobalt…
Matter smart home devices are becoming increasingly popular. If your device offers Matter over Thread, you may assume that you need to buy a special hub before you can use it. However, you may already have some devices in your home that can do the job. Related Matter Is the Reason I’m Finally Comfortable With Smart Homes Seeing “Matter” matters more than “Works With SmartThings.” Smart speakers Not every smart speaker supports Thread, but many do Credit: Justin Duino / How-To Geek Many of us have smart speakers in our homes; they’re often fairly cheap, are simple to use, and they…
For example, instead of sending down raw image data, which can take hours, or even days, a satellite can transmit the information that, say, a particular bridge is down, or that a certain road is having issues—actionable information of immediate business value. “AI can also help satellites navigate low earth orbit much more confidently, avoid other satellites, and operate much more autonomously,” says Su. And it can be used for other heavy workloads as well. For example, Kepler Communications is using Jetson Orin in its satellite communication network. That helps the company make its satellites smarter, CEO Mina Mitry said…
Ubiquiti has patched two vulnerabilities in the UniFi Network Application, including a maximum-severity flaw that may allow attackers to take over user accounts. The UniFi Network app (also known as the UniFi Controller) is management software that helps configure, monitor, and optimize Ubiquiti UniFi networking hardware, such as access points, switches, and gateways. “Combines powerful internet gateways with scalable WiFi and switching. Provides real-time traffic dashboards, visual topology maps, and optimization tips,” the networking device manufacturer says. “The preferred way to deploy UniFi Network is on a UniFi Cloud Gateway, rather than on a server, laptop, or other self-hosted environment.”…
There’s a very specific kind of problem that doesn’t show up in logs, doesn’t trigger errors, or spike your CPU. It just quietly ruins your mood. That’s where I found myself. Sitting in front of a Cinnamon desktop that looked perfectly healthy and felt … wrong. Not slow in the dramatic sense. Nothing froze or crashed, but every interaction had this faint resistance to it, like the system was thinking just a little too long before doing anything. Animations didn’t glide anymore. They sort of … negotiated their way across the screen. Typing felt like it had to pass through…
Raven, a cybersecurity startup that protects cloud-native applications at runtime, has emerged from stealth mode with $20 million in combined seed and post-seed funding. The investment rounds were led by Norwest and Elron Ventures, respectively, with additional support from CyberFuture, Dnipro VC, Jibe Ventures, RedSeed, SentinelOne, Unusual Ventures, UpWest, and angel investors. Founded in 2023 by Israeli cyber intelligence veterans, Palo Alto, California-based Raven has built a platform that observes applications at runtime to detect anomalous behavior and block it. By analyzing code behavior within the running application, the startup says, the platform can stop exploits and malicious code, preventing…
