Whether you’re using your own domains in the home lab or building publicly visible websites, DNS is at the heart of it. It can be used to block malware and other nasty things, or serve you an endless stream of cat videos. It’s also pretty public, and you can use a host of tools to convert domain names to IP addresses, see who owns a website’s name, and other pieces of the public infrastructure. The problem with many easily accessible lookup tools is that they give you results without context or an explanation of how they connect to the rest…

Ravie LakshmananFeb 27, 2026Network Security / Vulnerability The Shadowserver Foundation has revealed that over 900 Sangoma FreePBX instances still remain infected with web shells as part of attacks that exploited a command injection vulnerability starting in December 2025. Of these, 401 instances are located in the U.S., followed by 51 in Brazil, 43 in Canada, 40 in Germany, and 36 in France. The non-profit entity said the compromises are likely accomplished via the exploitation of CVE-2025-64328 (CVSS score: 8.6), a high-severity security flaw that could enable post-authentication command injection. “The impact is that any user with access to the FreePBX…
Google’s ambitions have come a long way. What started out as a simple Pixel Studio app has branched out into several new image generation workflows, models, and tools, leaving the app just a little redundant. For reference, the Pixel Studio app came out with the Pixel 9 series back in August 2024, and it was an instant hit thanks to its novel prompt-first image generation approach. That approach, however, has now expanded so far out that it has outgrown Pixel Studio.

Veteran security engineer Niels Provos is working on a new technical approach designed to stop autonomous AI agents from taking actions you haven’t specifically authorized. His open-source software solution, called IronCurtain, aims to neutralize the risk of an LLM-powered agent “going rogue” – whether through prompt injection or the agent gradually deviating from the user’s original intent over the course of a long session. How does IronCurtain work? In the last few months, there have been reports of autonomous AI agents going off the rails due to agentic misalignment). Instead of allowing them unlimited access to the user’s system, IronCurtain…
TL;DR Lenovo has a concept device that it will reportedly reveal at MWC called the Legion Go Fold. This device is a foldable that can turn into a traditional gaming handheld, a large-screen handheld, or a desktop. It comes with a wireless keyboard and detachable controllers (the right controller doubles as a vertical mouse). We’re only a few days out from the start of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain. As you would expect, there will be a bunch of devices shown off at this event. For example, HONOR plans to debut the Magic…
The new agency chief, Nick Andersen, has significantly more senior cybersecurity leadership experience, which has given some demoralized employees hope.
A patent document published by Google hints that Google Search may take searchers from the search results page, to an AI-generated page which is super personalized to answer the query, as opposed to taking that searcher to a web page. Patent. The patent is named AI-generated content page tailored to a specific user and was filed by Google about a year ago and then granted last month. This patent describes a system that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically create a custom landing page for a business or organization when a user performs a search. Instead of just sending a…
Combining multiple images is no problem for Nano Banana 2. Credit: Google Last year, Google’s Gemini AI took a major step forward in image generation with the launch of its Nano Banana upgrade—perhaps as much due to its quirky codename as its impressive capabilities—and now the next iteration is here. Nano Banana 2 is another notable upgrade for AI image-making, and it’s currently rolling out to all Gemini users.Nano Banana 2 is a combination of the original Nano Banana and the Pro version that followed a few months later. It’s essentially Nano Banana Pro at faster speeds, as noted in…
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released new details about RESURGE, a malicious implant used in zero-day attacks exploiting CVE-2025-0282 to breach Ivanti Connect Secure devices. The update focuses on the implant’s undetected latency on the appliances and its “sophisticated network-level evasion and authentication techniques” that enable covert communication with the attacker. CISA originally documented the malware on March 28 last year, saying that it can survive reboots, create webshells for stealing credentials, create accounts, reset passwords, and escalate privileges. According to researchers at incident response company Mandiant, the critical CVE-2025-0282 vulnerability was exploited as a zero-day…
Reliability is front and center for car shoppers in 2026, especially in the luxury space. With prices climbing and depreciation hitting harder than ever, more buyers are planning to hang on to their cars instead of flipping them after a few years. That makes long-term durability and resale value more important than badge prestige. What holds up well today is usually what holds its value tomorrow, and used buyers pay close attention to that. According to J.D. Power’s latest study, the 2026 Lexus IS sits at the top of the dependability charts. Lexus has built its reputation on Toyota-based engineering…
