EFF, along with the national ACLU and the ACLU affiliates in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit urging the court to require a warrant for border searches of electronic devices, an argument EFF has been making in the courts and Congress for nearly a decade. The case, U.S. v. Roggio, involves a man who had been under ongoing criminal investigation for illegal exports when he returned to the United States from an international trip via JFK airport. Border officers used the opportunity to bypass the Fourth Amendment’s…

That means you’ll be able to choose from a Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, or 10 Pro Fold. These are all great devices, and it’s…
Activate DR plans now AWS ME customers who haven’t already implemented comprehensive DR responses need to activate their plans immediately, advised Brad Lassiter CEO at IT services company Last Tech. “Customers need to failover to other regions and availability zones and check DNS and routing rules. Lower time to live (TTL) wherever possible so that the network can change traffic patterns as needed,” he said, adding that enterprises also need to shift to manual operations to verify high value transactions. Those businesses looking for legal remedies to recover costs from the outages may be disappointed, said Frank Jennings, partner at…
Every CISO knows the uncomfortable truth about their Security Operations Center: the people most responsible for catching threats in real time are the people with the least experience. Tier 1 analysts sit at the front line of detection, and yet they are also the most vulnerable to the cognitive and organizational pressures that quietly erode SOC performance over time. The Paradox at the Gate: Why Tier 1 Carries the Weight but Lacks the Armor Tier 1 is the layer that processes the highest volume of alerts, performs initial triage, and determines what gets escalated. But it is built on a…

A powerful iOS exploit kit has circulated among multiple threat actors over the past year, moving from a commercial surveillance operation to state-linked espionage campaigns and, ultimately, ended into the hands of financially motivated hackers, according to new research from Google’s Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG). “The exploit kit, named ‘Coruna’ by its developers, contained five full iOS exploit chains and a total of 23 exploits,” the analysts noted. The exploit list includes both CVE-tracked vulnerabilities and flaws that were never assigned CVE identifiers. (Though, as GTIG analysts noted, their ongoing investigation may result in a revision to CVE associations.) These…
AI recommendations are inconsistent for some brands and reliable for others because of cascading confidence: entity trust that accumulates or decays at every stage of an algorithmic pipeline. Addressing that reality requires a discipline that spans the full algorithmic trinity through assistive agent optimization (AAO). It also demands three structural shifts: the funnel moves inside the agent, the push layer returns, and the web index loses its monopoly. The mechanics behind that shift sit inside the AI engine pipeline. Here’s how it works. The AI engine pipeline: 10 gates and a feedback loop Every piece of digital content passes through…
