Peter-verreussel/Getty Images As AI evolves to successfully take on business, personal, and even medical use cases, its capabilities also increasingly make it a security threat. On Tuesday, researchers at identity validator Okta published a report that found hackers are using v0, an AI website creation tool from Vercel, to create "phishing sites that impersonate legitimate sign-in webpages" using text prompts.

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-26 18:13:43

Feels like just yesterday that folding phones weren’t even a thing, and now we’re somehow drowning in a sea of crease-filled screens. If, like me, you’ve been wondering what else phone makers can offer the folding phone market that hasn’t already been done, then Chinese phone maker, Honor, may have an answer for you: thinness. The Honor Magic V5, which was just unveiled, has retaken the title for the thinnest foldable on the market, which sets a new bar, not just for Samsung—the most iconic fol

The final half of Marvel’s Ironheart has premiered, and it’s got quite a bit going on. Like other MCU shows, it offers some tantalizing hints for the future and offers interesting spins on what’s come before. Our finale, “The Past is the Past,” opens with a flashback to the botched heist Parker and John pulled together, as seen in episode four. We watch Parker try to escape his father Arthur’s estate, and as he’s about to be caught, he’s saved by a guy in a hood. The guy, played by Sasha Baron

Scientists Uncover Exercise Lifehack: Go to Bed

As if you needed another reason to envy—or loathe—morning people. Research this week shows that people who go to bed early are more likely to be physically active than those who crave the night. Scientists at Monash University in Australia led the study, which objectively examined people’s sleeping and exercise habits. Compared to late-night and typical sleepers, people who went to bed early tended to perform more physical activity the following day, they found. The findings also suggest that t
