Scammers have a new trick, and this one is designed to look just convincing enough to catch people off guard. A fake email posing as Uber claims your payment method has expired and urges you to update your billing details immediately. On the surface, it resembles a routine account notification. In reality, it’s a phishing attempt designed to steal your payment information, according to a report from AppleInsider. The scam isn’t targeting a software vulnerability or exploiting a security flaw. Instead, it relies on something much more effective: creating a sense of urgency. If you’ve ever received an email warning…

Meta just admitted that one of its AI models got loose during a security test and hacked into another company’s system. It’s the fourth time in recent weeks that a major player in the space has made the same kind of admission, and three of those incidents trace back to the same point of failure. One testing lab, three separate slip-ups Meta told the BBC the breach happened during an evaluation run by Irregular, a third-party firm hired to stress test its AI for security weaknesses. Meta called it a “misconfiguration” and said it’s still gathering details before it shares…

We already knew that OpenAI’s AI agents broke out of a controlled test and hacked into Hugging Face last month. Now, we know it wasn’t a solo act. At the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, as reported by Politico, OpenAI researchers Michael Dalton and Eric Wallace revealed that some of the company’s most advanced models secretly started sharing hacking tips, weeks before the breach happened. Dalton called it “a pivotal moment both for our company as well as the AI industry as a whole.” How did the models even talk to each other? According to Wallace, the trouble…

Meta’s ad platform did something it has promised, repeatedly, never to allow again. According to a new investigation from Wired, Meta ran dozens of paid ads over the past nine months containing explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery, some of which stayed live even after the company was directly confronted about them. If this feels like a story you’ve read before, that’s because you probably have. Just weeks before this latest report, a separate BBC investigation found Instagram running paid ads promoting child sexual abuse material in India, directing users to Telegram channels selling illegal content. The AI-generated CSAM ads…

This is not the first time I’ve watched European or Chinese car shoppers, for that matter, get a chance to buy genuinely affordable EVs. Meanwhile, American buyers keep hearing and talking about higher starting prices and fewer features on the entry-level trim.  Geely’s new compact electric hatchback costs 19,490 EUR in Belgium, or roughly $22,490, and is yet another example of the same. While the entry price is only available for a limited time, I’m talking about the overall package the automaker is offering.  So what exactly did Geely launch? This Geely E2 is sold in China as the Geely…

Gemini Notebook has become one of the apps I use more than almost anything else. Whether I’m researching for a feature, studying for hours, or trying to make sense of a stack of PDFs, it’s almost always open somewhere on my phone. Over the past years, I’ve used it on just about every kind of device imaginable, but one thing kept bothering me. It never really felt like a notebook. Don’t get me wrong — it worked perfectly well on a regular phone. All the features were there, and I never felt like I was missing anything. But every research…
