Zero-click AI data leak flaw uncovered in Microsoft 365 Copilot

A new attack dubbed 'EchoLeak' is the first known zero-click AI vulnerability that enables attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data from Microsoft 365 Copilot from a user's context without interaction. The attack was devised by Aim Labs researchers in January 2025, who reported their findings to Microsoft. The tech giant assigned the CVE-2025-32711 identifier to the information disclosure flaw, rating it critical, and fixed it server-side in May, so no user action is required. Also, Microsoft no

Shokz OpenRun Pro Hit an All-Time Low, the Best Bone Conduction Sport Headphones With 4.5-Star Reviews

Did you know that there are just an unfathomable number of headphone and earbud options out there? Seriously, we’d defy anyone who wanted to actually count them all; it’d take way too long. This wealth of options is good for all of us, but can make it really hard to find the right pair for what you need. We recommend figuring out what you actually want them for, and then going from there. So, if you’re someone who loves going for a run, then something like the Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones are a

Apple Knows AI Isn’t What People Really Want, but It Can’t Say That

If you felt like Apple’s WWDC 2025 was a bit light on AI, you’re not alone. While conferences from competitors like Google and its annual I/O keynote were basically breathless in launching new Gemini features, models, and video generation tools, Apple took a more tepid approach. This year, we got a new AI health coach, Visual Intelligence, for more agentic, multimodal AI that can view your iPhone screen, and everyone’s favorite—new Genmoji. One thing that doesn’t appear on that shortlist is Appl

These Are the Dogs Most Likely to Get Diarrhea

Speaking from personal experience; fewer things in the world are messier than a dog with the runs. New research out today reveals how often people will take their dog to the vet for a bout of diarrhea, as well as some potential factors that could raise a pup’s risk of it, such as their breed. Scientists at the Royal Veterinary College in the U.K. conducted the study, which examined the vet records of several million dogs. They estimated that one in every 12 dogs experiences diarrhea serious eno

John L. Young, the Guy Who Created Wikileaks Before Wikileaks, Dies at 89

John L. Young, often hailed as an under-recognized hero of the digital age and co-founder of the groundbreaking transparency platform Cryptome, passed away on March 28th in New York City. His death, in relative anonymity, stands in stark contrast to the thunderous revelations that defined his pioneering work. His passing was quietly acknowledged by Archinect, a professional publication for architects, on June 4th: “John L. Young, architect and the co-founder (with his wife Deborah Natsios) of

Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades, New Report Finds

UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

This JBL PartyBox Club 120 Speaker Is Cheaper Than Last Prime Day, No Need to Wait for Upcoming Sales

We can all agree that Summer is here, right? Sure, it might not be the kind of Summer we’re all excited about, but the season of long days, BBQs, and big old get-togethers is upon us. It’s just nice to get outdoors and spend time with friends and family, and one key part of all of these things is music. That’s where this JBL PartyBox Club 120 portable party speaker comes in, and it’s currently $100 off on Amazon. This thing is an excellent way to boost the vibes at any party, no matter where yo

What It Took to Build the Death Star

The ultimate manifestation of the Empire’s overwhelming belief in strength through fear, the Death Star is everything insidious and evil about the Imperial engine in Star Wars—as well as its inevitable downfall. But while the story of stopping the Death Star is well trod at this point, the story of just how it was built in the first place is much more complicated. It’s not just complex because the Death Star’s construction took place over the course of decades, but because of that time frame, t

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery. But I'm admittedly wary of the fact that, without any cues

Protect Your Mane: The 10 Superfoods I'm Using to Prevent Hair Loss

I've known for years that there is a chance my hair will thin as I get older. Plenty of people lose their hair as they age, and it's likely I won't be exempt from it. However, that doesn't mean i'm going to sit down and wait for my hair to thin and disappear though. I've always loved my hair, even when I switch between growing it out a bit, or cutting it all off for a shorter look. When I started to look for ways to keep my hair healthy, I found vitamins that could help, but I wanted to do more

HP's New AI-Powered 3D Conferencing With Google Beam: Here's What Stands Out

HP has partnered with Google for a new virtual conferencing solution that doesn't need VR headsets or other wearables, called HP Dimension with Google Beam. Instead of glasses, it's a giant 3D-enabled display that sits on a conference desk in front of you and mimics the feeling of interacting with someone just a few feet away. It also costs $25,000. Previously called Project Starline, HP's Dimension with Google Beam promises to be "AI-powered," which refers to algorithms in charge of adjusting

Scientists built a badminton-playing robot with AI-powered skills

Robots like Atlas, Spot, and Stretch have amazed people with natural, life-like agility and body balance. What they were lacking, though, was a way to quickly connect this natural movement to perception—the robotic equivalent of the reflexes that let you catch a ball or duck in an instant to avoid getting hit. So, a team of scientists at ETH Zürich got busy fixing this problem. “I wanted to fuse perception and body movement,” said Yuntao Ma, a roboticist who led a team developing an AI-powered,

All-wheel drive EVs at 210 mph? Formula E’s next car gets massive upgrade.

The governing body for world motorsport met in Macau yesterday. Among the jobs for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile was to sign off on various calendars for next season, which is why there's now a clash between the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also between the Indy 500 and F1's annual visit to Canada. The Formula E calendar was also announced, although with a pair of blank TBCs in the middle, I'll hold off calling it finalized. The US round will now take pla

A warlord brings chaos in Foundation S3 trailer

Foundation returns for a third season next month on Apple TV+. Foundation, Apple TV+'s lavish adaptation (or re-mix, if you prefer) of Isaac Asimov's seminal sci-fi series, returns for its third season next month, and the streaming platform has dropped an official trailer to give us a taste of what's in store. As previously reported, the first season ended with a major time jump of 138 years, and S2 focused on the Second Crisis: imminent war between Empire and the Foundation, along with an ene

HP reveals first Google Beam 3D video conferencing setup, priced at $25,000

Amid all the Gemini hype at Google I/O last month, the company also turned one of its experiments into a (kind of) real product. Project Starline was reborn as Google Beam, a 3D video conferencing system that makes it look like you're in the same room with the other party. Google said HP would reveal the first Beam setup, and now it has. The HP Dimension is coming this year, and the price tag is a predictably hefty $24,999. Google Beam calls for a lot of advanced hardware, so the high price isn

With the launch of o3-pro, let’s talk about what AI “reasoning” actually does

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that o3-pro, a new version of its most capable simulated reasoning model, is now available to ChatGPT Pro and Team users, replacing o1-pro in the model picker. The company also reduced API pricing for o3-pro by 87 percent compared to o1-pro while cutting o3 prices by 80 percent. While "reasoning" is useful for some analytical tasks, new studies have posed fundamental questions about what the word actually means when applied to these AI systems. We'll take a deeper l

New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking. The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic

One, Big, Beautiful Breakup

Leah Feiger: Well, I mean, because it’s the safer option. This is the richest man in the world and the president of the United States. I would like to believe that there is thought behind any of this. Zoë Schiffer: 100 percent. Leah Feiger: And that's exactly what a bunch of these conspiracy theorists have been saying over the last 24 hours. Senior reporter David Gilbert published a story today about how the entire conspiracy world thinks that the Musk-Trump breakup is a psyop, it's “5D chess.

Sony WH-1000XM6 vs. Bose QuietComfort Ultra: Which Is Best?

Every couple of years, Bose and Sony trade blows in an effort to claim the title of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. Until recently, Bose's QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) had the edge, offering world-crushing cancellation that bested Sony's still-great WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) and other top models from the likes of JBL, Sonos, and Apple. Now, Sony's back with its latest WH-1000 model, the predictably titled WH-1000XM6 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The new pai

The Viral Storm Streamers Predicting Deadly Tornadoes—Sometimes Faster Than the Government

At 10:44 pm Eastern time on May 16, Ryan Hall spotted a blue square on his radar indicating debris flying into the air and realized a huge tornado was racing toward Somerset, Kentucky. “We’ve been watching this storm for a while, we’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’ for a while, hopefully the message has gotten out there and we know to be in our safe spots,” Hall warned his YouTube audience in a calm voice with a Southern twang. A silver robot with blue eyes popped onto the screen to tell Hall tha

A Deep Learning Alternative Can Help AI Agents Gameplay the Real World

A new machine learning approach that draws inspiration from the way the human brain seems to model and learn about the world has proven capable of mastering a number of simple video games with impressive efficiency. The new system, called Axiom, offers an alternative to the artificial neural networks that are dominant in modern AI. Axiom, developed by a software company called Verse AI, is equipped with prior knowledge about the way objects physically interact with each other in the game world.

My Virtual Avatar No Longer Looks Terrible in the Apple Vision Pro

Remember Apple’s Vision Pro? That's the $3,499 mixed reality headset the company launched early in 2024 that failed to garner much public interest. Apple has steamed ahead with updates for the platform over the past year, and soon there will be a new version upgrade: visionOS 26. (Apple announced at WWDC it was changing the way it named its operating systems to match the following year.) I got a chance to try out a few of the new capabilities, but two stuck out to me more than the others. First
