If you’re shopping online, or just trying to access certain websites, and things aren’t loading properly, it’s (probably) not your internet: Amazon is down.

Fideo Intelligence announced an expansion of its dark web monitoring and threat intelligence capabilities to help financial institutions, fintech companies, payment service providers (PSPs), and merchants detect fraud earlier and reduce payment risk. As payment credentials, identity data, and fraud tactics spread across hidden forums and encrypted channels, organizations face rising pressure to detect compromise before it reaches a transaction. Fideo’s expanded dark web monitoring and fraud intelligence surfaces early signs of synthetic identities, account takeovers, and credential-based attacks by turning them into actionable, upstream risk signals for the payments ecosystem. Why dark web intelligence matters now Criminal activity impacting…
Google AI Max drives revenue but at a higher cost, according to Smarter Ecommerce’s Mike Ryan, who analyzed 250+ campaigns. Outcomes vary, and much more testing is still needed. Why we care. AI Max isn’t a minor update. It’s Google’s most significant reimagining of Search campaigns in years, shifting away from keyword syntax toward pure intent matching. For you, that’s both an opportunity (possible growth) and a risk (an efficiency tradeoff). By the numbers. The result of the analysis: Median revenue: +13% Median CPA: +16% ROAS range: +42% to -35% Advertisers who activate AI Max typically see 14% more conversions…
When Visual Studio Code (VS Code) was released in 2015, it revolutionized code editing. But it can do so much more for the average person who doesn’t write code (yet).

Linux Mint has always been a little stubborn about big changes. While much of the Linux world spent the last few years marching toward Wayland, Mint calmly stayed parked on X11 like someone watching the chaos from a safe distance with a cup of coffee. Not because the developers were ignoring the future, but because their flagship desktop simply wasn’t ready for it. That situation is finally shifting. After years of quiet groundwork, Cinnamon can now run on Wayland, which removes one of the biggest technical barriers Mint has been carrying around. It is still early and a bit experimental,…

Structured data helped machines interpret pages. It reduced ambiguity. It made entities and attributes legible to crawlers that were otherwise guessing. Agents change the job because they do not just interpret pages. They decide, summarize, recommend, and sometimes execute. That means they need more than “this page is about X.” They need “this is the official truth about X, it is current, and you can verify it.” That is the gap most teams have not addressed yet.
