AI agents are always getting better at finding things, which includes sensitive information like your passwords, financial information, and API secrets if they are left exposed in obvious places. You may have been following the recent news coverage on OpenAI’s rogue agent attacking the Hugging Face servers during an evaluation. But you may not have noticed that tucked in OpenAI’s public disclosure on the hack is an admission that its AI models have been targeting publicly exposed online credentials even before this incident. The day after OpenAI’s disclosure, Anthropic came forward with a report of similar incidents with multiple Claude models dating as far back as April of this year.A few years ago, Security Magazine reported on a study that found up to 24 billion username and password co...

Snipping Tool is the default app for screenshots in Windows 11. There's a lot more to the app than that, however: With it, you can take screen recordings, extract text from images or websites that disable copying, and use a reverse image search tool. While ShareX is still my favorite app for taking screenshots in Windows, I think Snipping Tool has reached a point where it's great for both beginners and power users. Here are 10 essential Snipping Tool hacks that every Windows 11 user should know.Use 'Scan Text' to copy text from imagesCopying text from images is one of the most common uses of screenshot tools, and Snipping Tool does it quite well.

I live in a 1,600 sf home, and vacuuming and mopping it by hand takes a considerable chunk of time. Passing that labor off to a robot vacuum was a great decision. I decided to go with the Roborock Qrevo CurvX since it seemed like a great fit for my circumstances. If you also have a dog, a mix of different floor types, and a gym with a workout mat, this robot vacuum might work for you as well. Amazon currently has it for $799.99 (originally $1,499.99), a 47% discount and the lowest price it has ever been, according to price tracking tools. One of the main things I was looking for in a robot vacuum was suction power. The Qrevo CurvX ha...

If you're an Android user who is seeing ads pop up after your phone calls, you need not assume this is some new feature you have to learn to live with. It's actually an ad fraud scam, and you can do something about it. Researchers have identified dozens of apps on the Google Play Store that are able to display ads on top of the Android phone interface, a scheme known as AfterCall. How ads are taking over Android callsThis scam originates with seemingly harmless utility apps downloaded from the Google Play Store, such as calendars, alarm clocks, and notepads. When installed, they request overlay permissions, which allow them to appear on top of other apps—and thus display ads over phone calls. These apps can detect when a call ends and will then launch full-screen ads wrapped in a fake call...

If your phone isn't working, it's not just you: T-Mobile is down. The outage appears relatively recent: According to Downdetector, the first reports trickled in at 3:53 p.m. ET, and have since exploded.

The posts allegedly come from multiple states, including Utah, Arizona, Missouri, Michigan, and Illinois, indicating a potential nationwide outage.

Chatbots are designed to make you feel like your conversations are personal. They're highly agreeable, and over-friendly, and simulate the experience of chatting with a friend online—assuming that friend can instantly generate a wall of text in a few seconds. In reality, however, they're far from personal, especially if your definition of "personal" includes "for your eyes only."Claude chats were visible on Google this weekendSome Claude users can attest to that fact after the weekend. As Cyber Security News reports, Anthropic's Claude share links have appeared in Google search results, indicating search engines like Google have indexed users' chats. Over the weekend, a viral Reddit post highlighted how, by simply adding "site:claude.ai/share" to your search queries, you could pull up real...

OpenAI announced today that ChatGPT Health will now be available to all users over 18, and on all plans, including free ones. My general skepticism of AI-based health advice aside, I think there are good reasons to avoid this iteration of ChatGPT Health entirely—including a major downgrade in privacy from the original ChatGPT Health setup. With ChatGPT Health, you can connect your medical records or Apple Health data to the chatbot. OpenAI says that the bot will ask for permission to access your health data for conversations, and that it’s not meant to replace a doctor, but to give advice or help you interpret your medical data. Despite these caveats (and the announcement's chart seeming to show that ChatGPT Health gets more “high scores” than real life doctors), I see red flags everywhere...
