Google is updating how Google Ads paces budgets for campaigns using ad schedules, shifting toward full monthly spend targets regardless of how many days ads actually run. What’s changing. Starting June 1, campaigns will pace toward the full monthly budget limit (30.4x the daily budget), even if ads are only eligible to run on certain days. Previously, pacing was typically based on the number of active days in the schedule. What’s not changing. Daily and monthly caps remain the same. Campaigns still won’t exceed 2x the daily budget in a single day or 30.4x over a month, and ads won’t…

For all the big features that Google is adding to Gemini, it has also been tackling small, annoying issues. As part of this effort, it rolled out an option to easily import your chats and memories from other AI chatbots in late March. Google is now fixing another frustrating Gemini issue: the ability to branch conversations. This may seem like a minor feature at first. But if you are a heavy Gemini user juggling multiple projects and ideas in a single chat, it can make a noticeable difference. It helps keep everything clean, structured, and easier to navigate. By splitting…
A new Kyber ransomware operation is targeting Windows systems and VMware ESXi endpoints in recent attacks, with one variant implementing Kyber1024 post-quantum encryption. Cybersecurity firm Rapid7 retrieved and analyzed two distinct Kyber variants in March 2026 during an incident response. Both variants were deployed on the same network, with one targeting VMware ESXi and the other focusing on Windows file servers. “The ESXi variant is specifically built for VMware environments, with capabilities for datastore encryption, optional virtual machine termination, and defacement of management interfaces,” explains Rapid7. “The Windows variant, written in Rust, includes a self-described “experimental” feature for targeting Hyper-V.” Both…
Key Takeaways CTV advertising delivers video ads within streaming content on internet-connected TV devices, with targeting and measurement precision that linear TV never had. Streaming accounted for 45.6 percent of all ad-supported TV viewing in Q4 2025, while only 36 percent of U.S. adults still subscribe to cable or satellite. Inventory is expanding fast. Amazon has repositioned its demand-side platform (DSP) as a cross-screen programmatic platform, and Pinterest’s acquisition of tvScientific has brought discovery-based audience data into the CTV mix. CTV advertising rewards intentional spend. Set clear outcome goals, keep frequency under control, and track metrics that connect to real…
TL;DR Google now lets you sign up for an Android app via email without using magic links and one-time PINs. Instead, Android now offers a Verified Email feature that lets you sign up for an app without switching to your email app for verification. The feature is only available for consumer Gmail accounts. Signing up for new Android apps via email is a familiar task for many people. These apps typically send a magic link or one-time PIN (OTP) to your email address to ensure it’s actually your address. But Google has now made things even more seamless on Android…
A Mirai botnet is targeting discontinued D-Link routers impacted by a command injection vulnerability disclosed a year ago, Akamai reports. Tracked as CVE-2025-29635, the security defect exists because an attacker-controllable function value is copied without validation, and can be exploited through crafted POST requests. “The router extracts the value that ends up in the command buffer from the request body without checking which form field it came from,” Akamai notes. The observed exploitation attempts, it says, target the same code and trigger the same system call as a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit published last year on GitHub, which has since been…

Kia is finally ready to reveal full details of its Vision Meta Turismo concept car after a brief glimpse in December. It’s clear the sports car is built to preview the brand’s long-term approach to performance EVs, including more to do while you’re not moving at all. The angular-yet-sleek fastback design is meant to be consistent with the “Opposites United” design language seen in cars like the EV6, but offers a “lounge-inspired” interior that pays tribute to 1960s grand touring. That includes a front passenger seat that rotates 180-degrees to face the rear when parked (for social occasions) and a…
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a fresh set of packages that have been compromised by bad actors to deliver a self-propagating worm that spreads through stolen developer npm tokens. The supply chain worm has been detected by both Socket and StepSecurity, with the companies tracking the activity under the name CanisterSprawl owing to the use of an ICP canister to exfiltrate the stolen data, in a tactic reminiscent of TeamPCP’s CanisterWorm to make the infrastructure resilient to takedowns. The list of affected packages is below – @automagik/genie (4.260421.33 – 4.260421.40) @fairwords/loopback-connector-es (1.4.3 – 1.4.4) @fairwords/websocket (1.0.38 – 1.0.39) @openwebconcept/design-tokens (1.0.1 -…
