Ask ChatGPT or Claude to recommend a product in your market. If your brand does not appear, you have a problem that no amount of keyword optimization will fix. Most SEO professionals, when faced with this, immediately think about content. More pages, more keywords, better on-page signals. But the reason your brand is absent from an AI recommendation may have nothing to do with pages or keywords. It has to do with something called relational knowledge, and a 2019 research paper that most marketers have never heard of. The Paper Most Marketers Missed In September 2019, Fabio Petroni and colleagues…

Ravie LakshmananApr 13, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking Monday is back, and the weekend’s backlog of chaos is officially hitting the fan. We are tracking a critical zero-day that has been quietly living in your PDFs for months, plus some aggressive state-sponsored meddling in infrastructure that is finally coming to light. It is one of those mornings where the gap between a quiet shift and a full-blown incident response is basically non-existent. The variety this week is particularly nasty. We have AI models being turned into autonomous exploit engines, North Korean groups playing the long game with social engineering, and fileless malware hitting enterprise workflows. There is also…

When people see Customs & Border Protection’s giant, tethered surveillance blimp flying 20 miles outside of Marfa, Texas, lots of them confuse it with an art installation. Elsewhere along the U.S.-Mexico border, surveillance towers get mistaken for cell-phone towers. And that traffic barrel? It’s actually a camera. That piece of rusted litter? That’s a camera too. Today we are publishing a major update to our zine, “Surveillance Technology at the U.S.-Mexico Border,” the first since the second Trump administration began. To help people identify the machinery of homeland security, we’ve added more models of surveillance towers, newly deployed military tech,…

The addition of Gemini has improved the experience of using most Google products. Google Home is the only outlier, with Gemini promising a lot but failing to deliver on most fronts. Google has been relentlessly updating Gemini and Google Home every other week with new fixes and new features to enhance the overall experience. As part of this, the company is rolling out another Gemini for Home update that makes the “fundamentals” better. In early March, Google updated Gemini to speed up the response times for “hundreds” of common smart home commands. Building on them, the latest Gemini for Home…

In this Help Net Security video, Jim Alkove, CEO of Oleria, walks through where zero trust programs typically stand one to two years in. Most organizations have made gains in endpoint security and network segmentation, but identity remains the stubborn problem. Identity sprawl, legacy system exceptions, and workforce friction each contribute to stalls that few programs anticipated. Alkove then turns to a challenge most teams are not prepared for: AI agents operating at scale. A single workflow can now spawn thousands of ephemeral agents, each needing verified identity and enforced authorization. The audit requirements alone are a categorically different problem…

Google has issued a new warning to sites using back button hijacking techniques, saying those sites have two months to remove or disable those techniques. If they do not, they will be subject to both subject to manual spam actions or automated demotions within Google Search. Back button hijacking. Google explained that “when a user clicks the “back” button in the browser, they have a clear expectation: they want to return to the previous page. Back button hijacking breaks this fundamental expectation.” Google added: “It occurs when a site interferes with a user’s browser navigation and prevents them from using their back…

The problem is that the existing ECN is too blunt. It’s a situation that AccECN looks to fix. “ECN was originally specified for TCP in such a way that only one feedback signal can be transmitted per Round-Trip Time,” the IETF draft specification for AccECN states. For basic congestion control that was enough, but modern high-speed protocols need to know how much congestion is occurring, not just whether it happened. AccECN goes much further. Classic ECN only tells the sender that congestion happened. AccECN tells it exactly how much. That distinction lets senders fine-tune their response instead of just  slowing…
