Google Ads is now displaying examples of how “Landing Page Images” can be used inside Performance Max (PMax) campaigns — offering clearer visibility into how website visuals may automatically become ad creatives. How it works. If advertisers opt in, Google can pull images directly from a brand’s landing pages and dynamically turn them into ads. Now when creating your campaigns, before setting it live, Google Ads will show you the automated creatives it plans on setting live. Why we care. For PMax campaigns your site is part of your asset library. Any banner, hero image, or product visual could surface…

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityI love a fresh watch face, and would even say it’s one of my favorite aspects of wearing a smartwatch. It’s the fastest way to make a device feel new again, and on the Google Pixel Watch 4, the right watch face can completely change the vibe from workout-ready to weekend casual. While there’s no shortage of paid options in the Play Store, I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to spend extra to get something great. After cycling through more designs than I care to admit, I narrowed things down to five free Pixel…
Researchers at ESET have analyzed what they describe as the first Android malware to leverage generative AI during its execution. Named PromptSpy, the malware deploys a VNC module on compromised systems, enabling its operators to view the victim’s screen and take full control of the Android device. In addition, PromptSpy can collect device information, capture the lockscreen PIN or password, record the screen to obtain the device’s unlock pattern, and take screenshots. For persistence, the Android malware uses a novel approach at runtime that involves sending a prompt to Google’s Gemini gen-AI chatbot along with an XML file containing data…

Microsoft is killing Publisher in October 2026. But before you start shopping for a replacement, or worse, signing up for another subscription, open PowerPoint. It may look like a slideshow app, but PowerPoint runs on the same object-based layout logic that made Publisher so popular. Text boxes, images, and shapes behave like movable objects on a fixed canvas. The difference? PowerPoint has evolved, gaining AI-assisted layouts, real-time collaboration, and cloud flexibility that Publisher never had. And if you’re paying for Microsoft 365, it’s already installed. How PowerPoint designs things like Publisher To understand why this works, you need to compare…

A Russian-speaking, financially motivated threat actor has been observed taking advantage of commercial generative artificial intelligence (AI) services to compromise over 600 FortiGate devices located in 55 countries. That’s according to new findings from Amazon Threat Intelligence, which said it observed the activity between January 11 and February 18, 2026. “No exploitation of FortiGate vulnerabilities was observed—instead, this campaign succeeded by exploiting exposed management ports and weak credentials with single-factor authentication, fundamental security gaps that AI helped an unsophisticated actor exploit at scale,” CJ Moses, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Amazon Integrated Security, said in a report. The tech…
Growing up, I assumed dark closets were just part of owning an older house. Turns out they’re part of owning just about any house — mine has six small closets without a light. For years I’d prop the door open and hope enough light spilled in from the hallway. Then I picked up a couple of packs of these rechargeable motion-sensor lights, installed them across all six, and wondered why I’d waited so long. They’re not a smart home solution — and honestly, that’s a big part of why they work so well. Why dark closets are more annoying than…
Security Compass released SD Elements for Agentic AI Workflow, enabling organizations to stay in control of security and compliance as AI becomes part of software development.

Using the SD Elements Agentic AI workflow, you can seamlessly incorporate expert-vetted, relevant security, compliance, and corporate policy requirements into the agentic development process and automatically validate their implementation. You get evidence they’re…
Google is updating how it attributes conversions in app campaigns, shifting from the date of the ad click to the date of the actual install. What’s changing. Previously, conversions were logged against the original ad interaction date. Now, they’re assigned to the day the app was actually installed — bringing Google’s methodology closer in line with how Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs) like AppsFlyer and Adjust report data. Why this helps: It should meaningfully reduce discrepancies between Google Ads and MMP dashboards — a persistent headache for mobile marketers reconciling two different numbers. Google’s default 30-day attribution window meant many conversions…
