Fortinet is warning of a new critical (CVSS 9.8/10) pre-auth remote code execution vulnerability affecting multiple branches of FortiSIEM. The vulnerability is an OS command injection caused by “improper neutralization of special elements.” Fortinet has also stated that working exploit code is publicly available and urges immediate remediation.
Kubernetes clusters use a flat network that allows all pods to communicate, which poses security risks. To secure the network, deploy CNI plugins like Calico or Cilium that support policies, then set default-deny ingress/egress rules, allowing only necessary traffic between pods and namespaces. Essential measures include restricting host networking, shielding cloud metadata from pod egress, and testing network policies with application manifests before production.
Security budgets are slowing to 4% YoY growth, the lowest in five years, driving understaffed teams and delayed initiatives. Pressure stems from geopolitics, tariffs, and macroeconomics. Budgets are tightest in healthcare, services, retail, and hospitality, while finance, insurance, and tech still grew more than 5% by prioritizing cloud, IAM, SecOps automation, and zero trust.
Depot had an arduous process in which developers needed to spend hours maintaining arm64 versions of GitHub Actions runners. The team first developed a workflow in which Claude first attempted to apply the Depot team's patch file and then cyclically modified it until it applied successfully without removing any existing patches. The second workflow involved Claude tracking upstream changes, summarizing them, and highlighting any breaking changes.

Charon is a new ransomware targeting Middle East public sector and aviation organizations using advanced persistent threat tactics, including DLL side-loading, process injection, and EDR evasion techniques similar to China-linked Earth Baxia operations. The ransomware employs partial file encryption with Curve25519/ChaCha20, network propagation capabilities, and includes a dormant Dark-Kill driver for disabling security tools via BYOVD attacks. The targeted nature of attacks, evidenced by victim-specific ransom notes, highlights the concerning convergence of APT-level sophistication with ransomware operations.
SquareX researchers showed a passkey bypass that doesn't break cryptography but manipulates the WebAuthn flow via JavaScript injection. By tricking users into installing a malicious browser extension or exploiting site XSS, attackers can hijack registration/authentication, impersonate users, or force password fallback—even with Face ID—by forging WebAuthn API calls in the browser.
In this conference talk, Balaji Sundara introduces the concept of agentic AI systems as a self-prompting, self-correcting, and self-balancing orchestration system. Sundara suggests a multi-pronged defense model that includes proactive measures like secure design principles, reactive measures such as rollback for flawed decisions, and detective measures such as human-in-the-loop monitoring. He also stresses that APIs underpin AI agents and, therefore, agentic systems inherit existing API issues and defenses.

A study analyzing over 1,000 global advertising campaigns found that pairing traditional media, such as TV and outdoor ads, with digital channels like YouTube and Facebook can increase key brand metrics by more than 50%. Successful campaigns adapt their media mix to specific objectives, using TV with YouTube to build broad awareness and combining Facebook with in-store promotions to drive local engagement while prioritizing shifts in brand perception and consideration over simple reach.
With TV ad revenue falling and streaming ad dollars surging, the FCC is weighing whether to scrap a rule that caps broadcast ownership at 39% of the national audience. Broadcasters and industry groups say loosening the limit would allow networks to become more modern, attract younger viewers, and better compete with tech platforms like Google and Facebook. Opponents caution that such a move could give more power to large corporations or politically aligned owners, reducing competition and media diversity.
Hallucinated URLs are web addresses generated by AI that look real but don't exist on a site. To reclaim AI search traffic from them, filter analytics to show only AI assistant visits, export the data to Google Sheets, and use an Apps Script to check each URL's HTTP status. Identify URLs with a 404 status and significant traffic, then set up 301 redirects to relevant existing pages. This approach turns non-existent, AI-invented URLs into traffic drivers while revealing the kinds of content LLMs expect your site to have.
Unlike SEO, AEO focuses on how AI represents your brand across the web. To increase brand visibility in AI chatbot responses, track current mentions of your brand. Find the top-cited domains and pages in your niche. Secure placements on authoritative sites. Keep high-traffic pages accurate and well-structured. Write in clear, simple sentences. Engage on UGC platforms like Reddit and Quora. Create AI-friendly content with original research, statistics, comparisons, and experiments. Close topic gaps where competitors are cited but you are not. Bet early on emerging topics. Build branded search demand with unique frameworks and research. Repurpose content into videos and capture AI “hallucinated” URLs with redirects.
Restructuring a Google Ads account can be a powerful tactic to restore growth and improve efficiency, but it also comes with risks such as wiping out historical data and disrupting Google's learning algorithms. Common warning signs that a full rebuild might be needed include bloated or mismatched keyword groups, persistent irrelevant search queries, budgets being spent in the wrong places, and performance flattening despite regular optimization efforts. The most effective restructures start with a detailed audit to identify what's truly working, preserve those high-performing elements, and then roll out changes in planned stages.

ChatGPT allows you to add custom instructions that guide its responses, even on free accounts. These instructions act as an invisible layer of your prompt, letting you set your name, work context, and ChatGPT's personality traits, as well as specify writing preferences like style, tone, and banned words or phrases. To set them up, go to Settings → Customize ChatGPT, fill in the sections, toggle “Enable for New Chats,” and save. Adding prompt-style directions and prioritization notes helps ensure consistent outputs. Keeping a backup is recommended, as changes can dramatically alter results. This feature, especially with GPT-5, can significantly improve output quality.
In July, göt2b hosted an interactive pop-up in Brooklyn's Domino Park featuring a humidity-powered “Emergency Box” that dispensed free full-size products when humidity reached 60% or higher. The vending machine allowed guests to select their hair type before receiving frizz-fighting products, while a scrolling LED sign indicated when the box was unlocked. Visitors could also take photos in a “Frizz-Free Photo Zone” and enjoy curl-pattern-inspired rolled ice cream. TXG, the agency behind the project, also sent influencer mailers styled as “Emergency Frizz Kits” with faux glass packaging.
Google Ads offers eight automated bidding strategies, with some falling under Smart Bidding, which uses auction-time optimization for conversions or conversion value. Each strategy serves different goals, such as Maximize Conversions for lead volume, Maximize Conversion Value for high-value leads, Target CPA for cost control, and Target ROAS for profitability. Successful automated bidding requires accurate conversion tracking, realistic targets, and enough recent conversion data. Advertisers can mix strategies across campaigns, ad groups, or portfolios based on goals and data availability. While automation saves time, performance should be monitored regularly to ensure campaigns meet objectives.

Load balancing at scale is quite complex. While simple approaches like round-robin work initially, challenges come up from unequal request types, dynamic server lists, and the need for server warm-up/draining strategies. Proxies must also grapple with making load balancing decisions based on limited, local views and architectural considerations that can impact distribution.
LLMs see and process text through tokenization, breaking text into smaller units before converting them into numerical representations. Common tokenization methods include BPE, WordPiece, and SentencePiece. The method of tokenization can impact costs, context limits, and model performance in areas like non-English languages and mathematical reasoning.
LLMs can't truly build software. While LLMs are great at generating and updating code, they struggle to maintain clear mental models of code and requirements, leading to confusion and flawed decision-making. This limitation is due to issues like context omission, recency bias, and hallucination, preventing LLMs from properly iterating towards working solutions for complex tasks.
Chain-of-thought reasoning in AI is a mirage because, often, the reasoning demonstrated in papers is usually too simplistic to draw conclusions from. Reasoning likely requires language use and a certain level of model size.
