OpenSSL 4.0.0 removes several long-deprecated features, adds support for Encrypted Client Hello, and introduces API-level changes that will require code updates for applications built against older versions. SSLv3, SSLv2 client hello, and engines are gone SSLv3 support has been removed. The protocol was deprecated in 2015, and OpenSSL had it disabled by default since version 1.1.0 in 2016. Support for the SSLv2 Client Hello has also been removed. The engine API, which provided a mechanism for integrating external cryptographic hardware and software implementations, has been removed entirely. The no-engine build option and the OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE macro are now always present. Deprecated…

And, of course, AI is now being used to speed up attacks. Researchers at cybersecurity firm CodeWall used AI to hack into Boston Consulting Group’s data warehouse, which had no authentication on an API endpoint, allowing access to a 3-trillion-row data warehouse with individual-level employment data on hundreds of millions of people, at millions of companies. Worse yet, the service account behind that unprotected API had full write privileges, meaning that attackers would be able to change data. So, security managers have to figure out if they have time to deal with the quantum threat on top of everything else.…
The government approved a new lead overseer for its IoT device security labeling initiative.
Boost your skills with Growth Memo’s weekly expert insights. Subscribe for free! For years, SEOs have operated on a simple assumption: The more ground your content covers, the more likely it is to surface in AI-generated answers. In fact, every “best practice” in classic SEO content pushes you toward more: more subtopics, more sections, more words. Build the “ultimate guide.” An analysis of 815,000 query-page pairs across 16,851 queries and 353,799 pages says otherwise: Fan-out coverage is nearly irrelevant to citation rates. Two signals actually predict whether ChatGPT cites your page. Six concrete changes to your existing content library help.…
While there’s plenty to love about Google Messages, the lack of chat customization options isn’t one of them. In its current form, the messaging app lets users modify the colors of the chat bubbles and background (RCS only). By contrast, apps like WhatsApp and even Samsung Messages (which is going away soon) offer decent customization options. It now looks like Google is finally taking note, with the Messages app showing early traces of a customization tool that could boost the messaging experience. Looking at code from a Google Messages beta (messages.android_20260410_02_RC00), the folks at Android Authority have found multiple strings…
The FBI Atlanta Field Office and Indonesian authorities have dismantled the “W3LL” global phishing platform, seizing infrastructure and arresting the alleged developer in what is described as the first coordinated enforcement action between the United States and Indonesia targeting a phishing kit developer. The W3ll Store was a phishing kit and online marketplace that enabled cybercriminals to steal thousands of credentials and attempt more than $20 million in fraud. “This Website Has Been Seized as part of a coordinated law enforcement action taken against W3LL STORE,” reads a seizure message on w3ll[.]store website. “The domain for w3ll.store has been seized…
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityTL;DR Oura is partnering with Vida Health to bring Oura Ring data into virtual metabolic care programs. The integration syncs biometric data like sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate directly into Vida’s platform for continuous monitoring. This allows care teams to spot changes earlier and adjust coaching and care plans in real time. Oura is making a deeper push into healthcare. A newly announced partnership with Vida Health, a virtual care platform focused on metabolic health, suggests the company wants its wearable data to go beyond the app.Instead of relying on occasional lab work or check-ins,…
We need to talk about Mythos, the recently announced AI model from Anthropic that has the industry panicking about the powerful technology’s ability to supercharge cyberattacks. The Cloud Security Alliance has started a conversation. The convergence of AI and vulnerability detection has been moving toward a singularity – that point where traditional rules evaporate and prediction becomes impossible – for years. That point arrives with Anthropic’s Claude Mythos. Mythos’ power eliminates time between vulnerability detection and vulnerability exploitation. Two previously distinct events are now effectively simultaneous – they have collapsed into one single event. Project Glasswing: A Temporary Window For…
At midnight on Jan. 5, hackers took over our Google Ads Manager Account (MCC). We weren’t alone. While it’s hard to get an exact count, hundreds, if not thousands, of agencies have been affected by the hacks, in turn affecting tens of thousands of accounts. While I wouldn’t wish this experience on our worst enemy, having been through it, I have some insights that I hope can help you prevent the same experience from happening to your MCC account. How we were hacked Despite having two-factor authentication (2FA) and allowed domains enabled, the hackers were able to get into our…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. If you’re all-in on Microsoft 365 for work, school, or personal use, chances are high that Outlook is your go-to email service. It stands to reason then that, if you’re an Android user, reading headlines that suggest Microsoft is shutting down your email service on your mobile OS of choice sounds a bit shocking. After all, Outlook is a massive program, and Android is the world’s largest mobile platform; why in the world would Microsoft decide to deprecate its email service on Android?That’s because Google isn’t sunsetting the Outlook for…
