A new technique dubbed “Zombie ZIP” helps conceal payloads in compressed files specially created to avoid detection from security solutions such as antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) products. Trying to extract the files with standard utilities like WinRAR or 7-Zip results in errors or corrupted data. The technique works by manipulating ZIP headers to trick parsing engines into treating compressed data as uncompressed. Instead of flagging the archive as potentially dangerous, security tools trust the header and scan the file as if it were a copy of the original in a ZIP container. The “Zombie ZIP” technique was devised by Bombadil Systems security researcher…
Google Ads is rolling out auto end screens — a new feature that appends an interactive, auto-generated card to the end of eligible video ads to nudge viewers toward a conversion. How it works.

Summary 3D-printed Simpsons TV + Raspberry Pi 4B recreates authentic 4:3 set, plays first 11 seasons. Four live channels, static animations on channel changes, knob controls with mute/power push. Switch flips between TV and Game mode; Pi 4B + SSDs let it double as a retro gaming machine. I’m starting to believe that the ultimate combo for tinkerers is some kind of computing device and a 3D printer. Once you mash the two together, there’s really no limit on the kind of stuff you can make, and we’ve seen some wild inventions already. However, I think this Simpsons TV powered…

The Sonos app received a major makeover in 2024, with the company hailing it as “faster, easier, and better.” While it introduced several excellent new features, Sonos received significant criticism from users for removing certain features in the revamped app design. One of the major complaints was the lack of Android’s media and volume controls. Sonos users have repeatedly highlighted it on both Reddit and Sonos’ community website since the day it went missing, but the company has never provided an update on when it plans to fix it. While it’s frustrating that the company has remained tight-lipped about this…

It’s no longer about sending templated emails asking how much it costs for a guest post on someone’s site (it probably never should’ve been). It’s about providing resources, data, & information that people want to connect with and that provides them with value. Our focus for off-page SEO should no longer be “how do I grow my domain authority?” Instead, it should be “how do I demonstrate my legitimacy and expertise as a brand?” One of the best ways…

The Rust packages, published to crates.io, are listed below – chrono_anchor dnp3times time_calibrator time_calibrators time-sync The crates, per Socket, impersonate timeapi.io and were published between late February and early March 2026. It’s assessed to be the work of a single threat actor based on the use of the same exfiltration methodology and the lookalike domain (“timeapis[.]io”) to stash the stolen data. “Although the crates pose as local time utilities, their core behavior is credential and secret theft,” security…
