OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 is a new AI model for image generation that offers 20% lower API pricing and generates images up to 4x faster than its predecessor. The model excels at preserving important details during edits, handling multi-step modifications, and rendering small dense text for tasks like infographics. GPT Image 1.5 is accessible through ChatGPT's interface with pre-configured filters and via API for developers. It has limitations with certain drawing styles and scientifically complex images.
Google has replaced Pixel's distinctive on-device search overlay with the standard Google app search, prioritising web and AI (Gemini) results and making Pixel search feel more generic and less tightly integrated with the launcher. While this aligns with Google's AI-first strategy and simplifies access to AI Mode, it weakens Pixel's unique identity and slows everyday local search for users who valued speed and cohesion.
BMW has quietly refined its logo, making it flatter and more minimal by removing chrome from the inner circle and flag while keeping a matte black outer rim, signalling a subtle modernisation rather than a full redesign. Reactions are mixed: some fans welcome the restrained update, while others feel any change risks diluting the brand's heritage, highlighting the delicate balance of evolving an iconic identity.
Product managers at Figma are increasingly using Figma Make to create interactive prototypes instead of traditional PRDs, enabling faster exploration and more precise team alignment. The tool helps PMs validate concepts through user testing, communicate nuanced product behaviors, and make decisions by showing rather than describing features. By building working prototypes early, teams pressure-test assumptions, gather stakeholder buy-in, and create detailed specifications that engineers can use as development foundations.
A good design review examines whether an interface guides users effectively through a clear visual hierarchy, adherence to accessibility standards, and brand consistency. The process varies by stage—sketches need questions, prototypes need structure checks, and launched products require comprehensive analysis across product, structure, flow, and screen levels. Reviews focus on real user behavior, identifying where people hesitate or get confused, with annotated findings in Figma that tie recommendations to research and principles.
Dark mode has become a popular design trend, but it's not a universal UX solution and can actually weaken readability, increase cognitive load, and create accessibility challenges when misused. While dark mode works well in low-light environments and for creative or entertainment applications, it struggles in bright settings, with text-heavy content, and for users with astigmatism or low vision due to contrast issues and halation effects. The most effective UX strategy is to offer both light and dark modes based on user context, not forcing dark mode everywhere simply because it looks modern.

Dense woods, starry skies, foxes and unicorns emerge in soft, layered colours that transport viewers into quiet, escapist worlds. Her traditional drawings, enhanced with digital touches, appear in art books, calendars, and children's titles.
Burnout is widespread, reversible, and not a personal failure. Recovery comes from acknowledging it, ruling out health issues, resting without guilt, and making gentle changes—like stepping away, switching mediums, learning something new, or reducing pressure—until creative energy slowly returns.
The Morson Group has streamlined its 19 brands into four clear business units—Praxis (technical consultancy), Edge (recruitment), Vital (expert project teams), and Nexus (training)—to simplify messaging and strengthen cross-selling. Alongside this restructure, the company introduced a modern visual and verbal identity with a bold colour palette, 45-degree design elements, geometric typography, and a more human-focused art direction, guided by the principle of being “uncommonly clever,” which has been well received internally and externally.
Some of the key graphic design trends emerging in 2026 include manually adjusted typography, raw mixed-media assemblages, and AI-assisted but selectively edited work.

This includes four independent test harnesses that collectively run billions of test cases to verify functionality, cross-database compatibility, and resilience to malicious inputs. Specialized anomaly tests simulate and verify proper handling of out-of-memory conditions, I/O errors, and power loss.
AI made not being a designer or developer less of a barrier. You provide the vision, and AI writes the code. Implementation used to be the bottleneck, but now we're only bottlenecked by taste. People who succeed in the new era will be those who know what they want and can communicate it clearly.
A security researcher uncovered a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) chain in PostHog by chaining several vulnerabilities. The initial vector was a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that bypassed webhook URL validation, allowing an attacker to save and trigger requests to internal URLs via a Rust worker.
AWS' CEO has argued against replacing junior developers with AI, saying it is "one of the dumbest ideas" for several reasons. Junior devs are often the most proficient with new AI tools and, being the least expensive, don't offer much cost savings when cut. Additionally, removing them severs a company's talent pipeline.
AI's real superpower is in consumption, not creation. Most people should use it less for generating content and more for its analytical capabilities. Connecting AI to a knowledge base, such as an Obsidian vault filled with notes and reflections, and having it act as a research assistant, allows it to uncover hidden patterns and connect disparate ideas across multitudes of information that would be impossible for a human to process.

Most endpoint vendors expect you to trust their marketing. Arctic Wolf hands you real malware and says "go ahead."
±1 hour of your time. No hardware. No sales pitch.
Arctic Wolf observed active exploitation of critical Fortinet authentication bypass vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-59718 and CVE-2025-59719) starting December 12, just three days after Fortinet's disclosure. Attackers used crafted SAML messages to gain unauthenticated admin access to FortiGate devices with FortiCloud SSO enabled. Threat actors logged in via SSO from hosting provider IPs and immediately exfiltrated device configurations containing hashed credentials via the GUI. Organizations should promptly upgrade affected versions of FortiOS, FortiProxy, FortiWeb, and FortiSwitchManager, disable FortiCloud SSO as a workaround, reset all firewall credentials if compromise indicators are observed, and restrict management interface access to trusted internal networks.
Automotive parts supplier LKQ has confirmed it was hit in the Oracle E-Business Suite hacking campaign linked to the Cl0p ransomware group, exposing personal data, including SSNs and EINs, of over 9,000 sole proprietor suppliers. The company says the incident is limited to its Oracle EBS environment, though several terabytes of data were stolen, and notes it previously suffered a separate cyberattack affecting a Canadian business unit.
Gen Digital researchers have uncovered a new phishing campaign, which they dubbed GhostPairing, that abuses the device-linking feature of WhatsApp to hijack accounts. The victims are contacted by a known contact that shares a link allegedly leading to an online photo of a victim, which leads to a fake Facebook site that requests the user to initiate a device-linking process to log in. Attackers can then use the victim's account to forward the initial lure and propagate.
Analysis of recent supply chain attacks, including xz-utils, Ultralytics, tj-actions, and web3.js, revealed that most exploitation windows last only hours to days before detection and remediation. 8 out of 10 examined attacks had windows under one week. Implementing a 7-14 day dependency cooldown via Dependabot or Renovate would have prevented 80-90% of these attacks by simply waiting for compromised packages to be identified and removed before adoption. The technique is free, easy to configure, and among the most effective mitigations against mass-impact supply chain compromises.
Datadog's BewAIre is an LLM-powered system that reviews every pull request for malicious intent. Achieving over 99.3% accuracy and a 0.03% false positive rate after six months of tuning, the system addresses limitations of traditional static analysis by detecting intent-based attacks, such as credential exfiltration and obfuscated payloads, and by using recursive diff chunking to handle large PRs that attackers exploit to hide malicious code. Security teams can apply similar approaches by combining curated malicious datasets, prompt engineering with pattern exclusions, and adversarial red-teaming to build LLM-based detection that complements existing SAST/SCA tooling.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is commonly used by organizations to augment an LLM's knowledge base with additional information, such as internal documentation. RAG poses authorization risks as the LLM performs the search, so any authorization checks at the data source are skipped. This tutorial shows how to use S3 Access Grants with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases to add authorization checks to the RAG flow.

Infoblox research shows over 90% of parked domains now redirect visitors to scams, malware, or infostealers, up from less than 5% a decade ago. Malicious redirects target residential IPs, while VPN users see safe parking pages. One threat actor controls nearly 3,000 typosquatting domains targeting major sites such as Gmail, YouTube, Netflix, and government sites, hosting a mail server to capture misaddressed emails for business email attacks. Users should use bookmarks instead of typing to avoid typosquatting.
Cloudflare recorded unprecedented DDoS attacks in 2025, with hyper-volumetric assaults reaching 31.4 Tbps and 14 Bpps. During this period, global Internet traffic increased by 19%, and AI crawler activity surged, with Googlebot accounting for 4.5% of HTML requests and user action crawling rising over 15 times. Adoption of post-quantum encryption nearly doubled, covering 52% of human-generated web traffic. An email security analysis revealed 5.6% of messages as malicious, mainly due to deceptive links. 174 major Internet outages were documented, with nearly half caused by government-enforced shutdowns. Security professionals should closely watch the expanding capacity for hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks, adopt post-quantum cryptography as it becomes widely used, and enhance email security measures against sophisticated impersonation and brand deception attacks enabled by AI-generated content.
