The U.S. Justice Department and international partners have disrupted four IoT botnets linked to DDoS attacks that reached 30 terabits per second, among the largest ever recorded. The four botnets targeted in the operation—Aisuru, KimWolf, JackSkid and Mossad—infected millions of devices worldwide, primarily IoT systems such as digital video recorders, web cameras and WiFi routers. KimWolf and JackSkid targeted devices designed to be shielded from direct internet exposure, compromising and bringing them under the control of their operators. The infected systems were then folded into a cybercrime-as-a-service model, where access to the botnets was sold to other actors. Both the…
Nothing ruins a professional Excel report like a “Summary” line floating on its own page when you send it to a printer or PDF. While you could manually adjust your print area for every update, the real pro move is automation. Here’s how to use the OFFSET function to create a print area that truly thinks for itself. The sloppy PDF problem The frustration of the “as-is” gamble Credit: Tony Phillips/How-To Geek You might be thinking, “Why bother? Can’t I just hit “Print” and let Excel figure it out?” You could, but relying on Excel’s default printing is a gamble. To…

Arctic Wolf has detected suspicious activity in client networks that appears tied to the exploitation of CVE-2025-32975, a critical authentication bypass flaw affecting unpatched Quest KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA) instances exposed to the internet. KACE SMA is an on-premises tool used for centralized endpoint management, including asset inventory, software distribution, patching, and monitoring.

Google is testing AI-generated headline rewrites in Search results, describing it as a small, narrow experiment for now. What’s happening. Google confirmed to The Verge (subscription required) that it’s testing AI-generated titles in traditional Search results, not just Discover.

The goal is to better match titles to queries and improve engagement, Google said. One example showed Google replacing original headlines with shorter or reworded versions, sometimes changing tone or intent (e.g., reducing “I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI…
