- Lenovo Vantage reminds us that "preinstalled convenience" is just another way to spell "attack surface."
- Texas is taking a swing at TP-Link
- supercomputers with a 20-year-old Munge bug that still has teeth.
- Your AI coding assistant might be quietly squirreling away secrets
- macOS gets a visit from an infostealer delivered as helpful add-ons
- Chrome extensions allegedly spy on millions
- open source maintainers drowning in AI-generated nonsense
- Windows flirting with smartphone-style permission prompts.
