Ravie LakshmananApr 21, 2026Network Security / Vulnerability Cybersecurity researchers have identified 22 new vulnerabilities in popular models of serial-to-IP converters from Lantronix and Silex that could be exploited to hijack susceptible devices and tamper with data exchanged by them. The vulnerabilities have been collectively codenamed BRIDGE:BREAK by Forescout Research Vedere Labs, which identified nearly 20,000 Serial-to-Ethernet converters exposed online globally. “Some of these vulnerabilities allow attackers to take full control of mission-critical devices connected via serial links,” the cybersecurity company said in a report shared with The Hacker News. Serial-to-IP converters are hardware devices that enable users to remotely access,…

“AI is our friend, OK?” said Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick during the bank’s earnings call as the industry grapples with its disruptive potential.
Google is adding three new “agentic” safety features to Ads Advisor, its AI assistant inside Google Ads, aimed at reducing manual work while tightening security and compliance. As campaigns grow more complex, advertisers are spending more time fixing policy issues, managing access, and handling certifications. Google’s pitch: let AI handle the heavy lifting so marketers can focus on performance. What’s new. The update introduces proactive troubleshooting, always-on security monitoring, and instant certifications — all powered by AI and Gemini capabilities. Zoom in: Ads Advisor can now flag and help resolve policy violations automatically, even before advertisers notice them. It monitors…
Once an administrator selects an asset and sets an enforcement date, the platform enters a learning period and builds rules automatically. Before enforcement begins, it simulates against observed traffic to show what would be allowed, blocked or MFA-challenged on the enforcement date. How Agentic AI changes the game for microsegmentation Zero Networks’ push into AI controls came directly from its customer base. The questions organizations were asking were straightforward: What are my AI agents doing and where are they connecting to The platform addresses this by treating AI agents the same way it treats any other process running on a…

Over two dozen fake cryptocurrency applications targeting iOS users have been published to the Apple App Store, Kaspersky reports. The malicious campaign, dubbed FakeWallet, has been ongoing since at least the fall of 2025, focused on stealing users’ recovery phrases and private keys. The apps, Kaspersky says, were first noticed in March, after they started to frequently appear in search results on the Chinese App Store. Because many official wallet applications are currently unavailable to users in China due to restrictions, threat actors have started mimicking their names and icons, using typosquating to trick users into believing they are downloading…
People building the future of the social web — interoperable and decentralized — need to protect themselves against copyright liability. Like anyone who creates and operates platforms for user-uploaded content, the hosts of the decentralized social web can take preventive measures to reduce their legal exposure when a user posts material that violates someone’s copyright. This post gives an overview of the steps to take. It’s meant for operators of Mastodon and other ActivityPub servers, Bluesky hosts, RSS mirrors, and other decentralized social media protocols, and developers of apps for those protocols — but it will apply to other hosts…
Digiday reports that an early version of ChatGPT’s ads manager, available to a subset of pilot advertisers, now shows cost-per-click bids ranging from $3 to $5, based on screenshots reviewed and verified by the publication. Until now, advertisers in the pilot have paid on a CPM basis, meaning a flat rate per 1,000 impressions served. CPC pricing lets buyers pay only when a user clicks. Digiday reported the option is available to marketers already testing advertising in the pilot, not as a broad rollout. OpenAI didn’t respond to Digiday’s request for comment. Pricing Has Been Falling Since Launch The CPC addition follows a…
Buying your first 3D printer is exciting in and of itself, but the first few accessories around it usually decide whether the hobby feels smooth or constantly annoying. A new machine can print properly out of the box, sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s ready for real everyday use without a few supporting players. Most new 3D printer owners don’t need more upgrades at first. They need fewer preventable problems. I’d rather spend a little extra up front than deal with bad adhesion, messy cleanup, worn parts, and a workspace that turns into a plastic tornado. These are the six…
