Cisco positions the AITECH learning path as a bridge from “traditional knowledge-based work” to innovation-driven roles augmented by AI, explicitly targeting professionals who need to design technical solutions, automate tasks, and lead teams using modern AI tools and methodologies. The curriculum spans AI-assisted code generation, AI-driven data analysis, model customization (including RAG), and workflow automation wrapped in governance and security best practices. Why this certification matters now The timing of AITECH aligns with the reality facing most IT organizations: AI is already creeping into operations, security, networking, and collaboration, but skills lag badly. Cisco explicitly describes AITECH as meant to “close the…

In a statement shared today, the company said it activated its incident response procedures and launched an investigation, with assistance from external cybersecurity experts, after discovering the breach. “We have learned that an unauthorized third party acquired certain employee data,” reads a statement shared with BleepingComputer. “Upon discovery, we immediately activated our incident response protocols and launched a thorough investigation with the help of external cybersecurity experts.” While Wynn has not stated whether it…
Google’s unified video manager in Merchant Center is no longer empty. After months of showing up in accounts without visible content, the Video Assets section is now automatically populating with sourced videos. Driving the news. Videos are now automatically pulled in, including content from external sources like YouTube. The feature — first introduced at Google Marketing Live 2025 — was designed to centralize video content inside Google Merchant Center. It began rolling out in September, but many advertisers saw a blank interface with no assets. Why we care. This confirms Google is moving ahead with its plan to make Merchant…

Broadcom has released patches for several vulnerabilities affecting VMware Aria Operations, including high-severity flaws. The most important of the newly patched vulnerabilities based on CVSS score (8.1) is CVE-2026-22719, a command injection issue that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker. “A malicious unauthenticated actor may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands which may lead to remote code execution in VMware Aria Operations while support-assisted product migration is in progress,” Broadcom explained in its advisory. Another high-severity issue patched in Aria Operations (with a CVSS score of 8.0) is CVE-2026-22720, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw that can allow…
Inbound marketing is a method of growing your business by building lasting relationships with consumers, prospects, and clients through “pulling” tactics such as SEO, content marketing, social media, video marketing, and more. These practices inherently build more trust than outbound “awareness style” marketing and, as a result, create 54% more leads. What’s even more interesting is that consistent inbound marketing (over a period of about 5 months) can drop your overall lead cost by 80%. These stats are powerful, but they barely scratch the surface of why it’s important to understand inbound marketing and do it well. To start, you…
As Lifehacker has previously argued, YouTube Premium is probably the best streaming service for most people. Ads can eat into your free time faster than you might realize, and because YouTube’s user-generated videos can be quite short, they’re especially annoying there—and blocking them without a paid subscription is tough. YouTube Premium is also a bit pricey as streaming services go, at $14/month. Fortunately, the company also offers a “Premium Lite” plan that’s much cheaper—and thanks to the recent addition of a few key features, it no longer pales in comparison to a full subscription. In fact, the $8/month YouTube Premium…

A vulnerability in GitHub Codespaces could have been exploited by bad actors to seize control of repositories by injecting malicious Copilot instructions in a GitHub issue. The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven vulnerability has been codenamed RoguePilot by Orca Security. It has since been patched by Microsoft following responsible disclosure. “Attackers can craft hidden instructions inside a GitHub issue that are automatically processed by GitHub Copilot, giving them silent control of the in-codespaces AI agent,” security researcher Roi Nisimi said in a report. The vulnerability has been described as a case of passive or indirect prompt injection where a malicious instruction is…
Google Wallet added support for digital passports in 2024, and Apple Wallet gained digital passport support last year. Whether you use an iPhone or an Android phone, you can add your U.S. passport to your phone’s digital wallet app. The two largest mobile operating systems finally support this feature, but now, it’s up to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to accept digital passports at security checkpoints. Surprisingly, the TSA rose to the challenge — it already accepts digital IDs at more than 250 airport checkpoints.
