For the last couple of years, we’ve watched the same predictable cycle play out across the globe: a state (or country) passes a clunky age-verification mandate, and, without fail, Virtual Private Network (VPN) usage surges as residents scramble to maintain their privacy and anonymity. We’ve seen this everywhere—from states like Florida, Missouri, Texas, and Utah, to countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, and Indonesia. Instead of realizing that mass surveillance and age gates aren’t exactly crowd favorites, Utah lawmakers have decided that VPNs themselves are the real issue. Next week, on May 6, 2026, Utah will become, to EFF’s knowledge, the…

Your analytics dashboard tracks clicks, but it doesn’t convey the complete picture. When a buyer reads an AI answer that mentions your competitor, or scrolls through a Reddit thread where your brand doesn’t appear, that’s lost visibility. And it won’t show up anywhere in your traffic data. Share of voice (SoV) captures what traffic metrics can’t. It measures your brand’s visibility against competitors across channels where buyers actually research and make decisions. While SoV spans social, PR, and paid media, search is where most brands should start. It’s the channel where buyers with the strongest purchase intent show up, and…
Ravie LakshmananApr 30, 2026Hacking News / Cybersecurity News The internet is noisy this week. We are seeing some wild new tactics, like people using fake cell towers to send scam texts, while some developers are accidentally downloading tools that peek into their private files during a simple install. It is definitely a busy time to be online. Security is always a moving target. Millions of servers are currently sitting online without any passwords, and old software bugs are showing up in the most unexpected places. Even with the right fixes available, staying one step ahead is a full-time job for…
Enterprises pulling models from Hugging Face and other open repositories rarely keep records of how those models are altered after download, leaving organizations with little ability to confirm what they are running in production. The State of AI Security 2026 from Cisco places this level of access inside a growing pattern of AI-driven operations that connect directly to core business systems, and identifies AI supply chain exposure as a recurring risk. Cisco has published the Model Provenance Kit, an open-source Python toolkit and command-line interface that determines whether two transformer models share a common origin by examining architecture metadata, tokenizer…
The answer is Reddit, and yes, this 90-day strategy is worth your time. Most brands treat Reddit as an afterthought. However, Reddit is where buyers finalize their purchase decisions. Reddit is where human trust gets built. Therefore, Reddit serves as a trust signal for how AI search tools determine which brands are worth recommending. AI Mentions & Cites Brands Based On Trust Signals, Across Channels When ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AIO recommends a brand, it’s drawing on a web of signals that indicate the brand is credible, relevant, and mentioned by real people in real contexts. Reddit is one of…

Many zero-trust defenses work differently in industrial environments than in traditional business networks, five federal agencies said in newly published guidance.
A new phishing kit named Bluekit offers more than 40 templates targeting popular services and includes basic AI features for generating campaign drafts. Available templates can be used to target email accounts (Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, ProtonMail), cloud services (iCloud), developer platforms (GitHub), and cryptocurrency services (Ledger). What makes the kit stand out is the presence of an AI Assistant panel that supports multiple models, including Llama, GPT-4.1, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, which helps cybercriminals draft phishing emails. This reinforces the broader trend of cybercrime platforms integrating AI to streamline and scale their operations. Abnormal Security recently reported about ATHR,…
If the Arab Spring was defined by optimism about what the internet could do, the years since have been marked by a more sober understanding of what it takes to defend it. Back in 2011, the term “digital rights” was still fairly new. While in the decades prior, open source and hacker communities—as well as a handful of organizations including EFF—had advocated for digital freedoms, it was through the merging of disparate communities from around the world in the 2000s that digital rights came to be more clearly understood as an extension of fundamental human rights. In 2011, we observed…
Google is trying to simplify one of its most complex products, helping advertisers and analysts get more value from Google Analytics without deep technical expertise. What’s new. Google Analytics is rolling out Task Assistant, a guided workflow tool that surfaces tailored recommendations to improve property setup, data collection and reporting. How it works. Available in the left-hand navigation, Task Assistant organizes recommendations into clear categories like connecting accounts, enhancing reporting and fixing data issues. Users can mark tasks as complete as they go or skip items that don’t align with their business goals, creating a more flexible setup experience. Why…
