A denial that leaves more questions than it answers The Journal’s report, which cited people familiar with the matter, described a handset-like prototype shown to investors and stakeholders ahead of the IPO.

Landmark Mayo Clinic study finds stenting reduces stroke risk in people with carotid artery narrowing A major international study led by Mayo Clinic researchers and funded by the National Institutes of Health found that for people with severe carotid artery narrowing who haven’t experienced recent stroke symptoms, a minimally invasive procedure called carotid artery stenting, combined with intensive medical therapy, significantly lowered stroke risk compared with medical therapy alone. Traditional surgery (carotid endarterectomy) did not show the same benefit. The research is published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The Carotid Revascularization and Medical Management for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis…

Apple is introducing a new anti-fraud system with iOS 27 that’s designed to catch scam attempts in real time. The framework, called Trust Insights, monitors user behavior during calls, text conversations, or email exchanges and can trigger a warning or add a verification step if it detects signs of manipulation.

Most online scams are easy enough to spot once you know what to look for. Fake login pages, suspicious attachments, or urgent wire transfer requests are dead giveaways. But ClickFix doesn’t look like any of them. It presents itself as a solution, and it asks you to do something so routine that few people think twice about it. The technique was behind more than 53 percent of malware loader incidents last year, according to cybersecurity firm Huntress, and no major browser had a native defense against it until now.

Planning a trip is stressful enough without wondering if the glowing hotel summary you just read was written by an AI that skipped the scary parts. As it turns out, that might be exactly what’s happening on TripAdvisor. According to an investigation by consumer group Which?, reported by the Guardian, TripAdvisor’s AI-generated review summaries are smoothing over serious guest complaints, and in some cases, downright dangerous ones. Can you trust an AI summary of your hotel reviews? Take, for example, the Riu Palace Santa Maria in Cape Verde. The AI summary called it spotless, with diverse restaurants earning rave reviews.…
