Reddit is quickly becoming a powerful platform shaping how people discover and perceive brands. As AI search engines increasingly surface Reddit threads and comments, these conversations now influence visibility. To understand this shift, I analyzed 117 SaaS brands on Reddit. People reveal what they really think there, which doesn’t always match polished marketing. As communities shape brand perception, Reddit is no longer optional. Here’s my analysis, plus how you can use Reddit to your advantage. How I analyzed 117 SaaS brands: The methodology My analysis of 117 brands across the SaaS industry started with identifying the verticals to address: Project…
Like Atom Computing, QuEra makes a neutral atom quantum computer, and its Gemini model has 260 physical qubits and is commercially available. “We’ve demonstrated a 3,000-qubit machine running continuously,” Boger adds. That puts a usable quantum computer within sight, he says. “There is still work to be done. But it’s not years and years and years.” The timeline has also been affected by recent changes in estimates as to how many qubits a quantum computer actually needs to be useful. For example, according to the latest Google research, it could take as few as 1,200 logical qubits for a quantum…
A technical look at the first 24 hours: how quickly attackers enumerate and target newly exposed assets Written by Topher Lyons – Sprocket Security The moment a new asset gets a public IP address, a clock starts. Not a slow one. A relentless, automated one. The gap between “this just went live” and “this is being actively probed” is minutes, not days. That’s not theoretical. With the help of our ASM Community Edition, it’s what Sprocket Security sees continuously across customer environments, and it’s exactly what attackers count on: your team won’t know something is exposed until it’s already too…

A critical remote code execution vulnerability was recently discovered by researchers in Gemini CLI, an open source AI agent designed to provide lightweight access to Gemini directly from a terminal. The vulnerability, patched by Google in both Gemini CLI and the ‘run-gemini-cli’ GitHub Action, was identified by researchers at Novee Security. The researchers noticed that “Gemini CLI automatically trusted the current workspace folder, loading any agent configuration it found there without review, sandboxing, or human approval.” An attacker who could plant a malicious configuration in that folder could cause the AI agent to execute arbitrary commands on the host before…
An analysis of software artifacts from a malicious cyberattack targeting the energy and utilities sector in Venezuela late last year revealed that the attack made significant use of living-off-the-land (LOTL) techniques, lacked a ransomware component, and assiduously identified and deleted critical data.The software — found on “a publicly available resource” and uploaded in December 2025 — used two batch scripts to coordinate the attack throughout the target’s network, undermine system defenses, and hobble incident response. That was all a prelude to the final step: executing a previously unknown wiper program, dubbed Lotus Wiper, according to an analysis published by cybersecurity firm…
Jan-Willem Bobbink shared a take on X, that AI visibility trackers are quietly breaking the analytics of brands who are paying them to track for them. It’s time we put more focus on this issue, as it is causing misalignment, misreporting, and misspending of resources and marketing budget in the clamor to be more visible in AI. Screenshot from X, April 2026 Jan-Willem hits on the issue of the lack of attribution in RAG loops. When a tracker triggers a prompt, and that prompt triggers a fetch, the brand is essentially paying a tool to generate its own AI visibility,…
Ravie LakshmananApr 30, 2026Linux / Vulnerability Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a Linux local privilege escalation (LPE) flaw that could allow an unprivileged local user to obtain root. The high-severity vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-31431 (CVSS score: 7.8) has been codenamed Copy Fail by Xint.io and Theori. “An unprivileged local user can write four controlled bytes into the page cache of any readable file on a Linux system, and use that to gain root,” the vulnerability research team at Xint.io and Theori said. At its core, the vulnerability stems from a logic flaw in the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem, specifically…
Overbyte’s Walker agrees, saying that almost all the snafus his team ran into during the online school deconstruction project were not technical, but came down to visibility. “At some point, you have to confront unknown systems; things with incomplete or outdated documentation,” he says. “We had moments where, after beginning to deprovision systems, stakeholders surfaced saying, ‘Wait, that’s still in use.’” Dismantling systems is not the end PPG experienced no disruptions during the dismantling process, Ramachandran says, other than some tactical delays and contracts that needed updating. “There were some learnings on the network side because networking can get complex,”…
