A fresh wave of cyberattacks exploiting Bomgar remote monitoring and management (RMM) instances has hit various organizations and their customers over the past two weeks, sparking concerns about further attacks on unpatched systems that can have a rapid downstream effect on the supply chain.Researchers at Huntress Security Operations Center (SOC) observed what they call “a sharp uptick” in exploitation activity targeting Bomgar Remote Support (now part of BeyondTrust), with attackers reaching systems through a critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) flaw, CVE-2026-1731, according to a recent blog post from the team.”This most recent uptick in Bomgar-related incidents follows an initial…

If you’ve ever found yourself shouting your Google-powered smart speaker’s wake word after every single small request, the tech giant’s latest update is going to be a life-changer for you! Gemini for Google Home, by itself, is a game changer. However, unlike Gemini Live, it doesn’t let you have a free-flowing conversation.

Threat actors associated with The Gentlemen ransomware‑as‑a‑service (RaaS) operation have been observed attempting to deploy a known proxy malware called SystemBC. According to new research published by Check Point, the command-and-control (C2 or C&C) server linked to SystemBC has led to the discovery of a botnet of more than 1,570 victims. “SystemBC establishes SOCKS5 network tunnels within the victim’s environment and connects to its C&C server using a custom RC4‑encrypted protocol,” Check Point said. It can also download and execute additional malware, with payloads either written to disk or injected directly into memory. Since its emergence in July 2025, The…
Google is upgrading Google Ads call campaign measurement with a new AI-qualified call leads feature, designed to optimize for lead quality — not just call length. What’s new. AI-qualified call leads use machine learning to analyze calls and determine whether they represent meaningful business opportunities. The system then feeds that higher-quality data into bidding and reporting. Zoom in. Advertisers will get AI-generated call summaries and tags, giving more transparency into what happened during each interaction. At the same time, smart bidding can prioritize higher-value leads based on these signals rather than simple time thresholds. Why we care. Call campaigns have…
TL;DR Google is rolling out Continued Conversation to Gemini for Home in response to user requests. The feature keeps the mic on so you can ask follow-up questions without saying “Hey Google” again. Google says Gemini will also remember context and ignore background chatter. Gemini replacing Google Assistant around the home hasn’t been the smoothest transition, to say the least, and Google still seems to be smoothing out the rougher edges. One reason some users have been in no rush to make the switch is that Gemini for Home has been missing some of the old Assistant’s everyday conveniences. The…
A suspected North Korea-linked actor is behind a supply chain attack on the widely used library.
We may earn a commission from links on this page. As the world outside of our streaming boxes has gotten nastier, we’ve seen an uptick in the population of amiable goofballs within them, with comfort shows like Ted Lasso and Schitt’s Creek having set the template. Rooster’s Greg Russo (Steve Carell) isn’t exactly one of this crowd; his world is falling apart around him rather precipitously in the opening episodes of the HBO series, but the vibe is far less dour. It’s a show about a likable, well-meaning character who struggles to maintain his principles and outlook when faced with…
Fraud prevention and user experience have long been treated as opposing forces: tighten security, and you risk alienating legitimate customers; loosen it, and you open the door to account takeovers, synthetic identities, and payment fraud. But modern threat intelligence platforms are dismantling that false choice. Today’s most effective fraud prevention strategies operate silently in the background, combining dozens of risk signals in real time to block bad actors before they cause damage, without ever asking a legitimate user to jump through an extra hoop. Security friction is not a neutral tax. Every unnecessary CAPTCHA, every step-up authentication prompt served to…
Google Ads has enabled call recording by default for eligible call flows associated with AI-qualified call leads, with exceptions for prior opt-outs and certain sensitive verticals. A new Google support page describes the feature, which uses AI to evaluate phone conversations instead of relying on call duration alone to count conversions. What Changed Google Ads previously classified a phone call as a conversion primarily based on its duration. Google’s documentation says the new system analyzes call recordings to identify signals of intent, such as a caller asking about specific services, scheduling a consultation, or indicating readiness to purchase. Google describes…
A third man has pleaded guilty to participating in ransomware attacks while working for a cybersecurity company hired to negotiate with hackers. In October 2025, the US announced charges against three individuals for allegedly conducting ransomware attacks against several companies. Authorities said the suspects were tasked with helping victims, but instead they helped the attackers in return for a share of the ransom. Two of the suspects, Kevin Martin from Texas and Ryan Goldberg from Georgia, pleaded guilty in late 2025 and await sentencing, scheduled for the end of April. The identity of the third individual was only revealed in…
