Elon Musk’s “X Corp” is back at it. The company’s latest X-themed product is XChat, a messaging app built for X users to securely chat with one another. The app is currently available to preorder on the iOS App Store with an April 17 release date, and advertises itself as an end-to-end encrypted chat app free from ads or tracking. That sounds like a great pitch, especially if you’re someone who frequently messages other X users. The problem is, the pitch doesn’t seem entirely accurate. As Mashable’s Jack Dawes highlights, XChat’s app privacy policies are a bit out of alignment…

If you tried to download software from CPUID’s website late last week, you might have downloaded malware instead. “Investigations are still ongoing, but it appears that a secondary feature (basically a side API) was compromised for approximately six hours between April 9 and April 10, causing the main website to randomly display malicious links (our signed original files were not compromised),” Samuel Demeulemeester, a contributor to CPUID, stated on Friday, and apologized to affected users. “The breach was found and has since been fixed,” he added. A poisoned “watering hole” CPUID (at cpuid[.]com) is a website that hosts free software…

A survey by Sygnia reveals that senior-level security leaders fear they are not prepared to respond to the next cyberattack.
Over the past year, a new feature has started appearing across food, lifestyle, and travel blogs: AI buttons. You’ve probably seen them already. Buttons labeled things like: “Summarize with AI” “Save this recipe to ChatGPT” “Remember this site” “Ask AI about this recipe” Plugins from Feast, Hubbub, Shareaholic, and others now make these buttons easy to deploy, and hundreds of bloggers have started experimenting with them. But as adoption has grown, so has the pushback. Microsoft recently published research warning about something it calls AI recommendation poisoning, and some SEOs have begun saying these buttons could be seen as a…
Even with rising prices and more ads, Netflix is still one of the best deals in streaming, in large part because it just has so much content. There’s always something fun to watch, and you’re unlikely to ever run out of ways to keep yourself entertained. That said, Netflix regularly rotates in and out licensed content. That’s good because it means Netflix is always bringing in new stuff, but it also means that not everything is available forever. In fact, there are some excellent movie and TV series about to leave the service in the next month and change, so…
A new infostealer called Storm appeared on underground cybercrime networks in early 2026, representing a shift in how credential theft is developing. For under $1,000 a month, operators get a stealer that harvests browser credentials, session cookies, and crypto wallets, then quietly ships everything to the attacker’s server for decryption. To understand why enterprises should care, it helps to know what changed. Stealers used to decrypt browser credentials on the victim’s machine by loading SQLite libraries and accessing credential stores directly. Endpoint security tools got good at catching this, making local browser database access one of the clearest signs that…
