Over the last decade or so, the tech industry has tried, and mostly failed, to make “smart glasses”—tech-infused glasses with cameras, AI, maps, displays, and more—a thing. But over the past year, products like Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Glasses and Oakley’s Meta Glasses have gone from a curious niche to the mainstream. Before you strap a dashcam to your face and sprint out into the world filming everything and everyone in your life, there are some civil liberties and privacy concerns to consider before buying or using a pair. Meta is the biggest company that makes these sorts of glasses and…
Perplexity AI must stop using its Comet browser agent to make purchases on Amazon. A federal judge sided with Amazon in an early ruling over AI shopping bots. Why we care. The case targets a core promise of AI agents: completing tasks like shopping on a user’s behalf. If courts restrict how agents access sites, AI agents could face strict limits when interacting with logged-in accounts on major websites. What happened. U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney granted Amazon a preliminary injunction Monday in San Francisco federal court. The order blocks Perplexity from using its Comet browser agent to access password-protected…
Recently, I’ve seen a huge number of people promoting apps on forums. These are apps that they’ve vibe coded themselves, and that they’re trying to monetize. There are so many reasons why you shouldn’t pay for these apps.

With just a few prompts, you can get AI chatbots to generate impressive apps that really work without writing a single line of code yourself. With time and effort, you can refine your app into something that,…
For more than a year, a Russian-speaking threat actor targeted human resource (HR) departments with malware that delivers a new EDR killer named BlackSanta. Described as “sophisticated,” the campaign mixes social engineering with advanced evasion techniques to steal sensitive information from compromised systems. It is unclear how the attack begins, but researchers at Aryaka, a network and security solutions provider, suspect that the malware is distributed via spear-phishing emails. They believe that targets are directed to download ISO image files that appear as resumes and are hosted on cloud storage services, such as Dropbox. One malicious ISO analyzed contained four files: a…
Add another reason to the growing pile of reasons why it might be a good idea to shill out $13.99/month to pay for YouTube Premium: if you use the free version of YouTube and have to watch ads before and during some videos, you may have been bedeviled by an annoying bug over the past few months. If you open the official YouTube app on either your Apple or Android mobile device and blow up a video so it takes up your entire screen, you may see persistent ads in the lower corner that don’t go away no matter how…

A federal judge has granted Amazon a preliminary injunction barring Perplexity AI from using its Comet browser agents to access password-protected Amazon accounts and systems. U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney issued the order in San Francisco federal court, finding that Amazon is likely to succeed on the merits of its claims. The preliminary injunction also bars Perplexity from creating or using accounts for the purpose of AI agent access and orders the company to destroy Amazon data it collected through Comet. Amazon sued Perplexity in November, alleging the startup committed computer fraud by disguising Comet as a standard Chrome…

Threat actors are exploiting “customers’ overly permissive” Salesforce Experience Cloud guest user configurations to steal sensitive data, Salesforce Security said in a March 7 blog post.Salesforce said this issue is unrelated to a vulnerability inherent to its platform and that Salesforce remains secure. “Our investigation to date confirms that this activity relates to a customer-configured guest user setting,” the blog post read. Salesforce instances have faced a wide range of campaigns over the past year or so. Most prominently, financially motivated threat groups including ShinyHunters targeted Salesforce instances through social engineering attacks that began last summer. Federal law enforcement ultimately shuttered…
