European rail pass provider Eurail has confirmed that customer data stolen recently by hackers has been offered for sale. The Netherlands-based company disclosed a data breach in mid-January, informing the public that the personal, order, and travel reservation information of customers who were issued a Eurail pass may have been compromised. Those who reserved a seat through Eurail may also be affected. Eurail said at the time that hackers accessed systems storing basic identity and contact information, along with passport data. In the case of individuals who received a DiscoverEU pass, compromised information can also include passport copies, health data,…

The Galaxy XR has become my go-to device for multitasking. While the headset seems to be marketed more toward entertainment like watching immersive MLB or NBA games, the Olympics, and more, I’ve found that I keep coming back to it to run my favorite Android apps and experiences in a larger, more comfortable way than my phone or tablets can provide.But what if you want to go bigger than this? Streaming a desktop PC to the Galaxy XR can be done in a number of ways, but the two “official” ways of doing it are quite restrictive. Samsung’s official app…

The Hacker NewsFeb 17, 2026Cloud Security / Digital Forensics Cloud attacks move fast — faster than most incident response teams. In data centers, investigations had time. Teams could collect disk images, review logs, and build timelines over days. In the cloud, infrastructure is short-lived. A compromised instance can disappear in minutes. Identities rotate. Logs expire. Evidence can vanish before analysis even begins. Cloud forensics is fundamentally different from traditional forensics. If investigations still rely on manual log stitching, attackers already have the advantage.

(This appeared as an op-ed published February 12, 2026 in the San Jose Spotlight, written by Huy Tran (SIREN), Jeffrey Wang (CAIR-SFBA), and Jennifer Pinsof.) As ICE and other federal agencies continue their assault on civil liberties, local leaders are stepping up to protect their communities. This includes pushing back against automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, which are tools of mass surveillance that can be weaponized against immigrants, political dissidents and other targets. In recent weeks, Mountain View, Los Altos Hills, Santa Cruz, East Palo Alto and Santa Clara County have begun reconsidering their ALPR programs. San Jose should…
This post was sponsored by WP Engine. The opinions expressed in this article are the sponsor’s own. In the race for audience attention, digital marketers at media companies often have one hand tied behind their backs. The mission is clear: drive sustainable revenue, increase engagement, and stay ahead of technological disruptions such as LLMs and AI agents. Yet, for many media organizations, execution is throttled by a “Sticky-taped stack,” which is a fragile, patchwork legacy CMS structure and ad-hoc plugins. For a digital marketing leader, this isn’t just a technical headache; it’s a direct hit to the bottom line. In…
Wiring up your home can be a monumental task, depending on whether you’re planning to run cables outside, along the floor, or inside walls. I opted for the second option since drilling channels into some stone walls wasn’t my idea of an enjoyable weekend or two. It wasn’t exactly the “right way,” but then again, so long as it works, it doesn’t really matter, which is precisely what my network became. Because of the property in question, we had to use more Ethernet cabling than initially planned. It’s an 1800s English cottage with a more recent extension. Half of the…
Can cloud-based password managers that claim “zero-knowledge encryption” keep users’ passwords safe even if their encrypted-vault servers are compromised? Researchers at ETH Zurich and Università della Svizzera italiana set out to answer that question, and the answer is (unfortunately) no. Attack paths against encrypted vaults Cloud-based password managers store users’s passwords in a password vault, which is created and encrypted by the user’s client software by using a cryptographic key derived from the user’s master password. The client software uploads the encrypted vault to a server run by the service provider and the provider can’t decrypt it. Only the user’s…
Gboard has been my default keyboard for years because it’s fast and reliable. But when I set up a new phone recently, I decided to pay closer attention to something I normally ignore: the keyboard settings. That’s when I realized that several default features were making typing more frustrating than it needed to be. They were adding visual noise, changing words I didn’t want changed, and occasionally interrupting my typing flow. After I turned off these features, typing started feeling fast and effortless again. Related I tried a weird 16-key keyboard, and it made me rethink phone typing 26 letters,…
