If you shelved your inbound strategy this past year, you can shelve your Inbound conference mugs and swag with it. HubSpot renamed its annual Inbound conference in Boston this September to Unbound. A note on the event site explains the thinking: “This evolution is our response to that reality. INBOUND is becoming UNBOUND because growth no longer fits within a single framework or function. Today, it covers marketing, sales, service, and operations across the full customer journey in an AI-driven environment. UNBOUND reflects that expanded reality and the mindset required to lead through it.”  Inbound is outbound. HubSpot pioneered inbound…

Smart TVs are universally terrible. No, not the panels which continue to improve year-on-year, but the “smart” part that runs on them. Slow CPUs lead to sluggish app performance, if you can find the apps you want to use. To fix it, many opt for external streaming devices, but these are, for the most part, underpowered. You might have the solution sitting in your home’s junk drawer — that old smartphone that you couldn’t bear to part with. With a fast CPU, support for most, if not all, of the codecs used in streaming, and HDMI output over USB-C, it’ll…

That embedded telemetry feeds adaptive tuning of Dynamic Load Balancing parameters, Data Center Quantized Congestion Notification (DCQCN) and failover logic without waiting for a threshold breach or a manual intervention. The platform architecture is layered. At the lowest levels, agents react in microseconds to link-level events such as transceiver flaps, rerouting leaf-spine traffic in milliseconds. At higher layers, agents make more strategic decisions about flow placement across the cluster. At the cloud layer, a large language model-based agent surfaces correlated insights to operators in natural language, allowing them to ask questions about specific jobs or alert conditions and receive context-aware…

Seven vulnerabilities have been patched with the latest OpenSSL updates, including a flaw that can allow an attacker to obtain sensitive data. The data leakage issue, tracked as CVE-2026-31790 and rated ‘moderate severity’, affects applications that use RSASVE key encapsulation to establish a secret encryption key. The problem is that OpenSSL sometimes fails to properly verify that the encryption succeeded, yet may still return a ‘success’ message, exposing data from an uninitialized memory buffer to the attacker.  “The uninitialized buffer might contain sensitive data from the previous execution of the application process, which leads to sensitive data leakage to an…

After years of leaks, rumors, and even early sneak peeks within test builds, WhatsApp’s username support is finally starting to roll out. Signs pointing at username support for the world’s most used messaging app first started emerging all the way back in 2023. The messaging giant has made progress over the years, with last year being the most pivotal. Now, the result of all of that work is finally starting to reach WhatsApp users, as pointed out by WABetaInfo. Support has reportedly taken this long because Meta wants to ensure that the WhatsApp username experience is stable and secure. The…

Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityTL;DR Earlier this week, Google announced a number of Maps upgrades for contributors. Those include Gemini-assisted tools, like one for helping create image captions. Google also appears to be working on a “Tell Maps” tool that uses Gemini to streamline contribution. Google Maps is as useful as it is because of the quality of information it offers about all the places you might want to visit — and it pulls that off with a lot of help from community contributions. Just yesterday, Google shared some updates on how it was improving that experience, making it easier…

Ravie LakshmananApr 08, 2026IoT Security / Network Security Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the curtain on a stealthy botnet that’s designed for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Called Masjesu, the botnet has been advertised via Telegram as a DDoS-for-hire service since it first surfaced in 2023. It’s capable of targeting a wide range of IoT devices, such as routers and gateways, spanning multiple architectures. “Built for persistence and low visibility, Masjesu favors careful, low-key execution over widespread infection, deliberately avoiding blocklisted IP ranges such as those belonging to the Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure long-term survival,” Trellix security researcher Mohideen Abdul Khader F…

Millions of Android users are now eligible to claim some cash from Google as part of a $135 million settlement. If you have a qualifying device, you could receive up to $100 once the final approval hearing is completed in June. What is this Android settlement about? This settlement is part of a class-action lawsuit filed earlier this year alleging that Google collected unnecessary data from Android users over cellular networks in the background and without permission—even when Google apps were closed and location sharing disabled. Google denied any wrongdoing but agreed to a $135 million payout along with a…
