Synology has been the default recommendation in the NAS space for years, and for good reason. DSM is polished, the ecosystem is mature, and there’s a massive community behind it. But if you’ve been paying attention to Synology’s recent trajectory, you’ll know that the company has been making some questionable decisions. Drive restrictions, underwhelming hardware, price hikes, and the removal of features like hardware HEVC transcoding have left a lot of long-time users feeling like they’re paying more for less. And at the same time, competitors, like Ugreen, have been ramping up fast. I’ve been testing the Ugreen NASync iDX6011…

Cato Dynamic Prevention monitors network and security activity across users, devices, and sites over extended periods. When it identifies patterns consistent with malicious behavior, it automatically applies adaptive controls to block or restrict high-risk actions, without requiring manual intervention from IT or security teams. According to the company, this approach targets threat actors who use legitimate credentials and trusted tools and spread activity across days or weeks. Individually, those actions may not trigger alerts. In environments built on disconnected point products, correlating those signals can be slow and resource-intensive, often delaying response until later stages of an attack, according to…
Cisco has released security updates to patch two maximum-severity vulnerabilities in its Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) software. Secure FMC is a web or SSH-based interface for admins to manage Cisco firewalls and configure application control, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, and advanced malware protection. Both vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers: the authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2026-20079) allows attackers to gain root access to the underlying operating system, while the remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2026-20131) lets them execute arbitrary Java code as root on unpatched devices. “An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to…
There’s a new kind of problem showing up in search: Your pages still rank, impressions keep going up, Search Console looks fine, but when your brand shows up in AI answers, something feels terribly wrong: The description sounds vague. The services list feels out of date. What you actually sell comes across as flatter than it should. Those are usually signs of AI content decay. AI content decay doesn’t break your visibility overnight. It slowly weakens how your business is explained. If you ignore it, your online visibility will suffer in many ways. In this article, we’ll cover everything you…
MWC is over, and the talking points were predictable enough. AI agents dominated nearly every keynote, and 6G showed up to the party promising all the things its predecessor failed to deliver. But the most surprising takeaway from Barcelona this year had nothing to do with either of those things. Foldable phones have become, well, boring. Boring may not be the right word for it, but matured certainly fits the bill. These used to be the concept cars of the smartphone world. Now they’re just phones. That maturation was freeing. With the foldable wars largely settled, the floor opened up,…
Europol, Microsoft, and cybersecurity companies on Wednesday announced a joint effort to take down the widely used phishing-as-a-service platform Tycoon 2FA. Tycoon 2FA is a subscription-based platform that enables threat actors to impersonate users, create phishing pages, and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). It has allowed malicious hackers to intercept authentication sessions and gain access to targeted email and cloud accounts without triggering alerts. “Tycoon 2FA combined convincing phishing templates, realistic landing pages, and real‑time capture of credentials and authentication codes into an easy‑to‑use package that scaled quickly. By lowering the technical barrier to entry, it allowed criminals with limited expertise…
Google is rolling out an update to AI Mode for recipe results that it hopes will make recipe bloggers happy. Google’s Robby Stein said on X, “We’ve heard feedback on recipe results in AI Mode, and we’re making updates to better connect people with recipe creators on the web.” The changes aim to make it easier to click over to recipe sites, though I am not 100% certain yet whether the recipe summaries turn recipes into AI slop. “Starting today, when you search for meal ideas like “easy dinners for two,” you can tap on the dish to see links to…

The India-linked advanced persistent threat (APT) “Sloppy Lemming” has significantly increased its operational tempo over the past year, adopting more sophisticated tactics to target nuclear-regulatory organizations, defense firms, and critical infrastructure in Pakistan and Bangladesh, among other South and Southeast Asian targets.The group has evolved from using off-the-shelf red teaming tools like Cobalt Strike and Havoc C2 to developing its own custom tooling written in the Rust programming language, while expanding its command-and-control (C2) infrastructure — based on Cloudflare’s serverless Workers service — to at least 112 domains, up from 13 domains a year ago, according to cybersecurity firm Arctic…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. Apple’s “affordable” MacBook is official. The company revealed the “MacBook Neo” in a non-livestreamed event on Wednesday, following a series of product announcements throughout the week. Despite the hoopla, there aren’t a ton of surprises here: The rumors pointed to a low-cost MacBook running an iPhone chip that came in a variety of fun colors to choose from. That’s basically exactly what we got: The Neo runs the A18 Pro—the same chip as the iPhone 16 Pro—and comes in Blush (pink), Indigo, Citrus (yellow/green), and Silver.Really, the biggest surprise of…
