GMO GlobalSign today launched TLS Connect, a Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) tool designed specifically for SMBs. TLS Connect automates public trust TLS certificate deployment and renewal, allowing SMBs to strengthen security, maintain regulatory compliance and reduce business risk. The introduction of TLS Connect comes on the heels of the first in a series of TLS certificate lifespan reductions. On March 15, their lifespan dropped from 398 to 200 days. Another drop down to 100 days occurs March 15, 2027. By March 15, 2029, the lifespan of TLS certificates will be shortened to 47 days. “There is a huge business risk…

Researchers have discovered a vulnerability that could allow threat actors to fingerprint Firefox users, even in Private Browsing mode. The issue also affects the Tor anonymity browser, which is based on Firefox. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-6770, is related to the IndexedDB browser API, which is used for storing structured data on the client side. Firefox stores IndexedDB database names using internal UUID mappings, and when a website lists those databases, the order they come back in remains the same across different sites while the same browser process is running.

Labor-hire platforms let anyone with a credit card post a task and pay a stranger to complete it. The RentAHuman platform extends that model to AI agents through a Model Context Protocol server, allowing an agent to post gigs directly. Listed tasks include attending in-person meetings, photographing locations, delivering items, and surveying physical sites. A paper by Joshua Krook, an Era AI Fellow at the University of Antwerp, works through the legal consequences of this arrangement. Agentic AI systems can now delegate physical work to humans for money. The agent inherits every capability its contractor has, including driving, lifting, entering…
By the time Ayleen Charlotte realized what had happened, she was broke, in debt, and didn’t know what to do.Her boyfriend, for well over a year, was actually Shimon Hayut, the infamous “Tinder Swindler,” and she was one of many women he had scammed out of nearly everything they had. They were victims of a “pig-butchering” scam, a type of social engineering campaign in which the criminal spends months building trust with the target — just as a farmer takes time to fatten a pig before slaughter — before bilking them for large sums of money. She turned to law enforcement for help…
Microsoft says IT administrators can now uninstall the AI-powered Copilot digital assistant from enterprise devices using a new policy setting, which has become broadly available after the April 2026 Patch Tuesday. RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp is available as a Policy CSP and Group Policy after deploying this month’s Windows security updates on endpoints managed via Microsoft Intune or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). This policy will only apply to Windows 11 25H2 devices where the Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot are both installed, the user did not install the Microsoft Copilot app, and the Microsoft Copilot app was not launched in the last…
With all of the platform changes and tech advancements, it’s easy to feel like you’re always a step behind. Buyers can discover brands in countless ways without ever visiting their website. Tracking and attribution are becoming murkier, which makes it harder to know what to prioritize. Everyone is telling you to use AI, or you’re out of business tomorrow. You constantly need to adapt. And many times, without the data to show whether you’re making the right calls. The good news is, you don’t need more tactics or fancier tools. You need structure. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step framework you…
Utility technology company Itron, Inc. has disclosed that an unauthorized third party accessed some of its internal systems during a cyberattack. The company states that it activated its cybersecurity response plan when detecting the activity last month, notified law enforcement authorities, and engaged external advisors to support the investigation and incident containment. “On April 13, 2026, Itron, Inc. was notified that an unauthorized third party had gained access to certain of its systems,” the company says says in an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “The company activated its cybersecurity response plan and launched an investigation…
Most location pages fail for one of two reasons: They’re too thin (just an address and phone number) or too generic (the same template with city names swapped out). Google sees through both. So does ChatGPT. But here’s what a good location page can do: Rank in organic search Link from your Google Business Profile (GBP) Get cited in AI answers Serve as a landing page for ads Convert visitors into leads One page, five jobs. Most location pages do none of this. They just sit there. Technically live, technically indexed, technically doing nothing. I’ve built location pages for HVAC…
Android developers write log statements for the same reasons they always have: debugging crashes, tracing performance issues, and understanding how features behave in production. Legal and privacy teams, working from templates and regulatory checklists, draft policies describing what the app collects from users. These two workflows rarely intersect inside the same company. A new study of 1,000 Android apps shows what that disconnect looks like at scale, and the gap has implications for GDPR and CCPA exposure. What the researchers found Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology, Ontario Tech University, and the University of Waterloo analyzed privacy policies and runtime…
In January 2026, Google was granted patent US12536233B1. Six engineers worked on it, and it describes a system that scores a landing page on conversion rate, bounce rate, and design quality. If the landing page falls below a threshold, generate an AI replacement personalized to the searcher. The advertiser never sees it. Never approves it. Might not even know it happened. The debate around this patent has centered on scope: Is it limited to shopping ads, or does it signal something broader? That’s the wrong question. The right question: What happens when you combine AI-generated pages with AI agents that browse,…
