Ravie LakshmananFeb 18, 2026Vulnerability / Software Security Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities in four popular Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions that, if successfully exploited, could allow threat actors to steal local files and execute code remotely. The extensions, which have been collectively installed more than 125 million times, are Live Server, Code Runner, Markdown Preview Enhanced, and Microsoft Live Preview. “Our research demonstrates that a hacker needs only one malicious extension, or a single vulnerability within one extension, to perform lateral movement and compromise entire organizations,” OX Security researchers Moshe Siman Tov Bustan and Nir Zadok…
With more than two decades in SEO, I’ve lived through every major disruption the industry has faced — from stuffing meta keywords to rank on AltaVista to Google reshaping search, to mobile-first indexing, and now AI. What feels different today is the speed of change and the emotional weight it carries. I see growing pressure across teams, even among seasoned professionals who have weathered every major shift before this one. Many have a legitimate concern: If AI can do this faster, where do I fit in? That’s not a technical question. It’s a human one. That uncertainty affects morale and…
Microsoft has a really long and complicated history with things like desktop widgets and dynamic tiles. This feature, which the company keeps canceling, renaming, and then aggressively bringing back, has become a persistent, annoying part of the Windows environment. We really have to ask why this feature keeps coming back, even though users consistently ignore or outright reject it. Is the desktop meant to be a tool for deep, focused creation where distractions are the worst thing, or is it just a starting point where distractions, ads, and malware are welcome? Every version of the widget has failed because the…
Threat actors have leveraged legitimate email notification feature of Atlassian Jira to deliver localized scam emails at scale. The emails From late December 2025 through late January 2026, victims were targeted with spam emails from legitimate-looking Atlassian Jira Cloud addresses. Organizations already using Jira were specifically targeted: the attackers selected domains known to have active Jira instances, which means recipients would be used to receiving Jira notifications.

I copy and paste all day on my computer. Research links, some motivational quotes that I like, drafted articles, email replies, headers that I’m testing, and whatnot. I’ve always assumed that clipboard managers are meant for software developers, business professionals, and the like. I thought the built-in copy-and-paste worked just fine for me. That was until I paid attention to how often I’m re-copying the same links, digging through my browsing history just to find what I had copied, or accidentally overriding something really important. It wasn’t a huge problem. Rather, it was a small one happening constantly and creating…

If you want your website to show up in AI search results, then you need to make sure that tools like ChatGPT and Claude can easily read your content.

If your site isn’t optimized for this, then you might be missing out on valuable traffic from AI citations. The good news is that you don’t need to learn code or rely on complex enterprise setups to fix it. In this guide, I…
