Tailscale says Zero Trust is broken, and that might be a good thing

Zero Trust has been a buzzword at every enterprise tech conference for years (only recently being replaced with AI), but Tailscale’s new State of Zero Trust 2025 report makes it clear that most organizations still have no idea what it means or how to do it. They surveyed 1,000 IT, security, and engineering leaders. Only 1% of those surveyed said they’re happy with their current access setup. That stat says a lot about the confusion in the marketplace.

We have made the decision to not continue paying for BBB accreditation

We have made the conscious choice not to continue paying for accreditation from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). We realize that this may raise questions among our customers, and we want to explain why we made this decision. For years, people have been told to look for BBB accredited businesses, and that it somehow reflects whether a business is on the up and up. What most don’t realize is that businesses PAY to be accredited with the BBB. You do not EARN an accreditation- you buy it. A few m

Apple Encryption Safe After All? UK Reportedly Plans to Backtrack on Backdoor Demands

Apple's reputation for providing a private and secure experience for people who use its products and services is among the highest in the industry. All that has been under threat this year, as the UK government has asked Apple to provide it with backdoor access to the iCloud accounts not only of British citizens, but of people around the world. But it looks like following pressure from the US, the UK might have decided to reverse course. As reported by the Financial Times on Sunday, the Home Of

Google adds separate work and personal accounts to Chrome on iOS

Google has introduced new features for Chrome on iOS that help users bifurcate work and personal data by using separate Google accounts. As more employers implement bring your own device (BYOD) policies, employees increasingly access company resources from browsers on their personal devices. Devices connected to a managed Google Workspace are able to leverage these additions. Chrome now supports easy account switching and data separation on iOS, similar to its approach on Android and Chrome for

Chrome will let you switch between personal and work accounts on iOS

is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Google is introducing the option to easily switch between personal and work profiles in its Chrome browser on iOS, with data kept separate between the two. The new option is part of Google’s enterprise software package, and doesn’t allow non-enterprise users to switch freely between two Google accounts in the browser. Companies that adopt Chrome Enterprise can let employees

Chrome for iOS makes it easier to switch between work and personal Google accounts

Google announced Monday that it’s introducing a new feature that lets iOS users easily switch between work and personal Google accounts in Chrome. Previously, iOS users had to completely sign out of a Google account and then log in with another, and repeat this process every time they want to access a different account. “People often use their mobile device for both work and personal tasks, requiring them to sign in and out with different Google accounts,” the company wrote in a blog post. “To

Microsoft has warned of "active attacks" targeting its SharePoint collaboration software, with security researchers noting that organizations worldwide stand to be affected by the breach.

The Best Savings Strategy in an Uncertain Economy Is a Boring One

Stability can be a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to your money. Deagreez/Getty Images We've all had enough economic excitement this year. From tariffs and inflation to layoffs and recession fears, daily headlines are a nonstop barrage of bad news that threatens our financial security. That's one of the reasons I'm all for opening a certificate of deposit right now. CDs aren't as sexy as investments like cryptocurrency or timing the stock market. But that's what makes them perfect

This is why I use two separate ChatGPT accounts

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a recovering AI addict. While I’ve had mixed feelings about AI from the start, as someone who spends a lot of time lost in thought, I’ve found it can be a useful tool for ideation, proofreading, entertainment, and much more. Recently, I’ve started scaling back my usage for reasons beyond the scope of this article, but for a while, I actually had two paid ChatGPT accounts. I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right, it’s a bit e

HPE warns of hardcoded passwords in Aruba access points

Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) is warning of hardcoded credentials in Aruba Instant On Access Points that allow attackers to bypass normal device authentication and access the web interface. Aruba Instant On Access Points are compact, plug-and-play wireless (Wi-Fi) devices, designed primarily for small to medium-sized businesses, offering enterprise-grade features (guest networks, traffic segmentation) with cloud/mobile app management.

The bewildering phenomenon of declining quality

It’s as if the smell of burnt plastic from a dollar store has permeated the world. Things are worse: chipboard furniture, T-shirts unrecognizable after a second wash, packaged foods with more preservatives than ingredients. Airplane seats turned into backrests. Automatic restroom lights that turn off at a whim. But also newspaper articles shamelessly written with ChatGPT and its algorithmic prose. Nothing is made to be loved. Only to be bought. In a study titled The Concept and Measurement of P

RFK Jr. wants to change program that stopped vaccine makers from leaving US market

This story was originally published by ProPublica. Five months after taking over the federal agency responsible for the health of all Americans, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to overhaul an obscure but vital program that underpins the nation’s childhood immunization system. Depending on what he does, the results could be catastrophic. In his crosshairs is the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a system designed to provide fair and quick payouts for people who suffer rare but serious side effe

How to Delete All of Your Social Media Accounts: Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, and More

Here’s an evergreen take: There has never been a better time to get off social media. Social services have evolved even further into becoming sticky traps for doomscrolling and AI-generated slop, and are hitherto unprecedented frontiers for rage bait. Bummed out about all the misinformation and being part of a profit machine that funds one increasingly unhinged billionaire or another? Well, there’s a way out. Unfortunately, social media companies don’t always make it very easy to rescind their

For privacy and security, think twice before granting AI access to your personal data

AI is being forced on us in pretty much every facet of life, from phones and apps to search engines and even drive-throughs, for some reason. The fact that we’re now getting web browsers with baked-in AI assistants and chatbots shows that the way some people are using the internet to seek out and consume information today is very different from even a few years ago. But AI tools are more and more asking for gross levels of access to your personal data under the guise of needing it to work. This

Apple Sues the YouTuber Who Leaked iOS 26

Leaks are a constant part of big product news cycles, particularly for companies like Apple. Online soothsayers like Jon Prosser and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman have long predicted the content of upcoming Apple announcements, citing anonymous sources from within the company to glean glimpses of what’s next. They have been correct often enough to become a real pain for the Cupertino company. Now, Apple has seized upon an opportunity to fight back against leaks. In a complaint filed Thursday in US fe

Trump admin squanders nearly 800,000 vaccines meant for Africa: Report

Nearly 800,000 doses of mpox vaccine pledged to African countries working to stamp out devastating outbreaks are headed for the waste bin because they weren't shipped in time, according to reporting by Politico. The nearly 800,000 doses were part of a donation promised under the Biden administration, which was meant to deliver more than 1 million doses. Overall, the US, the European Union, and Japan pledged to collectively provide 5 million doses to nearly a dozen African countries. The US has

Gmail's backup codes are useless to access account

Ok, I have a work account on Gmail. Having the experience of being locked out of Gmail previously (endless loop of "You are entering the correct password but we're not sure that it is you, try again later"), I created a 2fa via Google Authenticator and set up Backup Codes and thought I'm safe from them asking me to sign in on another device or enter sms code (I don't carry that phone with me). So, one sunny day I decided to add standard iOS mail app to this account, and lo, an hour after connec

Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign

In January, YouTuber Jon Prosser posted a video to his Front Page Tech channel that claimed to be “your very first look at iOS 19,” the operating system that Apple would announce as iOS 26 a few months later. Though Prosser claimed he “could not show the real video of what I saw” because he wanted to protect his source, the rest of the video showed a mock-up for a redesigned version of the Camera app, which ended up being a preview of the company-wide “Liquid Glass” redesign that Apple would sh

Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee' – what to know

Visitors to the United States will need to pay a "visa integrity fee," according to a provision of the Trump administration's recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The fee applies to all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas to enter, and cannot be waived. However travelers may also be able to get the fees reimbursed, according to the provision. Details about the new requirement are scant, which has resulted in "significant challenges and unanswered questions regarding implementation,"

Apple sues leaker Jon Prosser for allegedly stealing iOS 26 info from an employee

Apple is suing leaker Jon Prosser and a codefendant for misappropriation of trade secrets related to YouTube videos from earlier this year that depicted mockups of iOS 26 (which was, at the time, expected to be called iOS 19 ). In the suit, which Apple filed at a district court in the Northern District of California, the company claims Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti "conspired to break into an Apple employee’s development iPhone to take Apple’s trade secrets." Per the filing , which was obtain

Apple sues leaker Jon Prosser for stealing iOS secrets

Apple has sued the well-known leaker Jon Prosser for the alleged theft of trade secrets related to iOS 26. Prosser has been accused of tasking another man, Michael Ramacciotti, with secretly accessing an Apple employee’s development iPhone and using that information to report on Apple’s planned changes in the then-unannounced iOS 26. According to the lawsuit, Apple claims that Prosser offered Ramacciotti “money or a future job opportunity” in exchange for access to a company phone belonging to

Apple sues Jon Prosser for his iOS 26 YouTube leaks, Prosser responds

Apple has filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California, accusing Jon Prosser of misappropriating trade secrets and violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Here are the full details. If you follow the rumor mill, you probably remember how Joe Prosser had been leaking iOS 26 (or rather, iOS 19, at the time) since January. First, he leaked a reconstruction of the Camera app, then he published a couple of videos that showed reconstructed glimpses of what actually became the Liquid Gla

Why is AI so slow to spread?

T alk to executives and before long they will rhapsodise about all the wonderful ways in which their business is using artificial intelligence. Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase recently said that his bank has 450 use cases for the technology. “ AI will become the new operating system of restaurants,” according to Yum! Brands, which runs KFC and Taco Bell. AI will “play an important role in improving the traveller experience”, says the owner of Booking.com. In the first quarter of this year executiv

Dictionary.com “devastated” paid users by abruptly deleting saved words lists

Logophiles are "devastated" after Dictionary.com deleted their logs of favorited words that they carefully crafted for years. The company deleted all accounts, as well as the only ways to use Dictionary.com without seeing ads —even if you previously paid for an ad-free experience. Dictionary.com offers a free dictionary through its website and free Android and iOS apps. It used to offer paid-for mobile apps, called Dictionary.com Pro, that let users set up accounts, use the app without ads, and
