Threat actors have been abusing QEMU in campaigns leading to the deployment of ransomware and remote access tools, Sophos reports. A cross-platform open source machine emulator, QEMU allows users to run a guest VM on top of their operating system (VM host). Over the past years, security researchers documented several malicious campaigns using QEMU to establish covert communication channels and deploy backdoors, and Sophos now says it has observed an uptick in abuse since late 2025. As part of a campaign first observed in November 2025, tracked as STAC4713 and potentially linked to the PayoutsKing ransomware, threat actors used the…

You’ve got a whole library of winning ads from Meta to run on Google, but you don’t want to spend a ton of time setting up campaigns or becoming a Google guru. So, you take your existing creatives and pop them into Performance Max, spin up some ad copy, and let Google do its thing.

In a cascading illustration of unintended consequences, threat actors compromised an AI tool vendor, then used that access this past weekend to compromise software security vendor Vercel, and possibly other organizations, downstream.Vercel yesterday disclosed it was breached via a third-party AI tool, Context.ai.

Section 230 helps make it possible for online communities to host user speech: from restaurant reviews, to fan fiction, to collaborative encyclopedias. But recent debates about the law often overlook how it works in practice. To mark its 30th anniversary, EFF is interviewing leaders of online platforms about how they handle complaints, moderate content, and protect their users’ ability to speak and share information. Reddit is one of the largest user-generated content platforms on the internet, built around thousands of independent communities known as subreddits.

Google updated its YouTube and Discover Feed ad requirements as of April 2026 to clarify how election-related ads are handled, without changing how the rules are enforced. Why it matters. Advertisers using YouTube and Discover placements already operate under tight guidelines, and election ads have historically been a gray area. This update is meant to remove confusion rather than introduce new restrictions. What’s new (and what’s not). The update explicitly states that election ads are exempt from YouTube and Discover Feed ad requirements, but this is purely a clarification. There are no changes to enforcement, meaning advertisers who were compliant…
