In this Help Net Security interview, Paul Suarez, VP and CISO at Casey’s, explains how his team manages patching and upgrades for fuel payment systems with long hardware lifecycles. He also discusses risks tied to QR code payments and outlines why loyalty abuse can be hard to spot. Suarez shares how Casey’s monitors payment systems across stores, corporate networks, and third-party processors. How do you manage patching and modernization for fuel-related payment infrastructure that may have longer hardware lifecycles than typical retail technology? We don’t assume that fuel payment infrastructure should be managed differently simply because it may have longer…

The Sonos Ace headphones scored pretty high in our review, with impressive audio quality, fantastic ANC, comfortable design, and great battery life. What we didn’t like, though, was the high price tag, which is fair considering that these are a pair of premium wireless headphones. With that said, time has now passed, and we’re seeing a great discount, which brings the price down by quite a bit, knocking $100 off. If you’ve been thinking about picking up a new pair of headphones and want something that will blow you away, the Sonos Ace at this price is going to be…
Amazon is warning that a Russian-speaking hacker used multiple generative AI services as part of a campaign that breached more than 600 FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in five weeks. A new report by CJ Moses, CISO of Amazon Integrated Security, says that the hacking campaign occurred between January 11 and February 18, 2026, and did not rely on any exploits to breach Fortinet firewalls. Instead, the threat actor targeted exposed management interfaces and weak credentials that lacked MFA protection, then used AI to help automate access to other devices on the breached network. Moses says the compromised firewalls were observed across South Asia,…
Google Ads is now displaying examples of how “Landing Page Images” can be used inside Performance Max (PMax) campaigns — offering clearer visibility into how website visuals may automatically become ad creatives. How it works. If advertisers opt in, Google can pull images directly from a brand’s landing pages and dynamically turn them into ads. Now when creating your campaigns, before setting it live, Google Ads will show you the automated creatives it plans on setting live. Why we care. For PMax campaigns your site is part of your asset library. Any banner, hero image, or product visual could surface…
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityI love a fresh watch face, and would even say it’s one of my favorite aspects of wearing a smartwatch. It’s the fastest way to make a device feel new again, and on the Google Pixel Watch 4, the right watch face can completely change the vibe from workout-ready to weekend casual. While there’s no shortage of paid options in the Play Store, I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to spend extra to get something great. After cycling through more designs than I care to admit, I narrowed things down to five free Pixel…
Researchers at ESET have analyzed what they describe as the first Android malware to leverage generative AI during its execution. Named PromptSpy, the malware deploys a VNC module on compromised systems, enabling its operators to view the victim’s screen and take full control of the Android device. In addition, PromptSpy can collect device information, capture the lockscreen PIN or password, record the screen to obtain the device’s unlock pattern, and take screenshots. For persistence, the Android malware uses a novel approach at runtime that involves sending a prompt to Google’s Gemini gen-AI chatbot along with an XML file containing data…

Microsoft is killing Publisher in October 2026. But before you start shopping for a replacement, or worse, signing up for another subscription, open PowerPoint. It may look like a slideshow app, but PowerPoint runs on the same object-based layout logic that made Publisher so popular. Text boxes, images, and shapes behave like movable objects on a fixed canvas. The difference? PowerPoint has evolved, gaining AI-assisted layouts, real-time collaboration, and cloud flexibility that Publisher never had. And if you’re paying for Microsoft 365, it’s already installed. How PowerPoint designs things like Publisher To understand why this works, you need to compare…

A Russian-speaking, financially motivated threat actor has been observed taking advantage of commercial generative artificial intelligence (AI) services to compromise over 600 FortiGate devices located in 55 countries. That’s according to new findings from Amazon Threat Intelligence, which said it observed the activity between January 11 and February 18, 2026. “No exploitation of FortiGate vulnerabilities was observed—instead, this campaign succeeded by exploiting exposed management ports and weak credentials with single-factor authentication, fundamental security gaps that AI helped an unsophisticated actor exploit at scale,” CJ Moses, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Amazon Integrated Security, said in a report. The tech…
