Identity protection company Aura has confirmed that an unauthorized party gained access to nearly 900,000 customer records containing names and email addresses. The company states that the incident was caused by a voice phishing attack targeting an employee, which exposed the sensitive data of 20,000 current and 15,000 former customers. In a communication this week, Aura states that the data originated from a marketing tool used by a company acquired by Aura in 2021, which exposed limited information. Aura is a consumer digital safety firm that sells identity theft protection, credit and fraud monitoring, and online security tools for phishing…

Rabbit’s Cyberdeck revives the Vaio P concept with a modern Linux twistThe device targets vibe coding, not raw performance like high-end laptopsHardware may match Raspberry Pi 5 performance while remaining affordable at $500Rabbit is preparing to release a compact device later this year, drawing inspiration from the Sony Vaio P, a netbook briefly available in 2009.Unlike Apple’s popular new MacBook Neo, the new machine is not designed for raw performance.It is explicitly meant for vibe coding, allowing developers to run AI tools such as Claude Code and OpenAI Cursor on the go without requiring a fast processor or powerful GPU.Article…
The new reality in 2026 is the predictive window has collapsed. By the time a defender can predict and disrupt an attack, it is already too late. Criminal exploitation of high risk vulnerabilities is increasing in both volume and speed. The cause is partly AI, but mostly due to the industrialization of cybercrime. Internet access brokers (IABs) are more efficient, while criminals are increasingly adopting smash and grab tactics (more accurately, perhaps, ‘silent entry and grab’}: enter, exfiltrate, and depart. The effect is that predictive security is failing. There isn’t time to predict and prevent an attack because exploitation is…
Small publishers are seeing sharp traffic declines from AI search experiences, according to new data from thousands of global sites using Chartbeat analytics. The details. Publishers with 1,000 to 10,000 daily pageviews lost 60% of search referral traffic over two years, Chartbeat found. Mid-sized sites with 10,000 to 100,000 daily pageviews lost 47%. Large publishers with more than 100,000 daily pageviews were down 22%. Reality check. AI referrals aren’t replacing lost search traffic. Google Search pageviews fell 34% year over year. Google Discover dropped 15%. ChatGPT referrals rose 200% but still account for less than 1% of total traffic. Yes,…
Shopping for storage is no easy task as it currently stands. The DRAM crisis has affected RAM, of course, but solid state storage has been hit hard. Maybe not as hard as memory, but it still uses the same components, just not in as much abundance. That makes hunting for deals even more crucial, and despite what conventional wisdom might tell you, buying a used enterprise SSD is a great way to save a buck while still getting a high-performance SSD. Related Used enterprise SSDs are nothing to be scared of Used enterprise drives can offer better longevity, performance, and…
Time and time again in cybersecurity, effective communication is the obstacle to technical and non-technical teams being able to truly collaborate. Diverse working groups, while essential for coming up with effective cybersecurity strategies and ideas, can be brought to a standstill when communication isn’t rooted in trust. At this year’s RSAC Conference, husband and wife duo Rebecca Grapsy and Kevin Grapsy are set to deliver a talk on this subject. And for them, it’s personal.Technical Brilliance Doesn’t Equal Clear CommunicationRebecca, a communications professional, and Kevin, with a deep technical background, have experienced firsthand the friction that can arise when technical…
Most advice on generative engine optimization best practices starts in the same place: find the prompts people are using with AI tools, track which ones give your brand visibility, and build content around the highest-volume queries. The problem? That data is largely estimated. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is still new enough that the infrastructure to measure it accurately doesn’t exist yet. Think of how GEO differs from SEO: the mature, reliable signals you’ve come to expect from tools like Semrush or Ahrefs took years to develop. GEO measurement isn’t there yet. What platforms call “prompt volume” is modeled, estimated, and…
Gemini is, without a doubt, an area of prime focus for Google. That’s mainly why the AI tool’s Android app is in a constant state of upgrade. Yes, I’m talking about the app gaining new features, but that’s not the only focus. I’m also talking about the app’s UI and what existing features look like. Related I found a Gemini feature so good, I deleted a bunch of apps Your phone’s home screen is about to get a lot cleaner Google is on the drawing board again, and this time around, it looks like it’s bringing ‘Discover’ to the Gemini…
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned six individuals and two entities for their involvement in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) information technology (IT) worker scheme with an aim to defraud U.S. businesses and generate illicit revenue for the regime to fund its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. “The North Korean regime targets American companies through deceptive schemes carried out by its overseas IT operatives, who weaponize sensitive data and extort businesses for substantial payments,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. The fraudulent scheme, also called Coral Sleet/Jasper Sleet,…
Enterprise SEO doesn’t fail because teams lack knowledge. It fails because they’re invited too late. In most large organizations, SEO still operates in a reactive posture. Teams review pages after launch, run audits, document issues, file tickets, and then wait, often for months, for other teams to implement changes. Modern search visibility is no longer shaped by tweaks. It is shaped by what gets built upstream. High-performing organizations have responded by changing SEO’s role entirely. Instead of treating SEO as a cleanup function, they’ve repositioned it as a commissioning function, one that defines the exact requirements digital assets must meet…
