In Brief Security researchers found that they could access the personal information of 64 million people who had applied for a job at McDonald’s, in large part by logging into the company’s AI job hiring chatbot with the username and password “123456.” Ian Carroll and Sam Curry wrote in a blog post that “during a cursory security review of a few hours,” they found the password issue and another simple security vulnerability in an internal API, which allowed access to job applicants’ past conve

Samsung could take inspiration from iOS’s Live Voicemail and Pixel Call Screen (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-03 18:12:04

Apple TL;DR Samsung is working on an on-device voicemail feature similar to iOS’s Live Voicemail. This feature would allow calls to be screened and corresponding voice messages to be stored directly on the device. Unlike Apple’s version, Samsung’s will let users customize ring time before redirecting a call, but lacks transcription functionality, at least for now. The feature was spotted within One UI 8 beta code and may initially be rolled out only in select regions. With iOS 17, Apple intr

Microsoft and OpenAI's AGI Fight Is Bigger Than a Contract

wired.com Steven Levy 2026-02-03 18:11:10

I first learned about The Clause from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup’s groundbreaking AI technology. I knew the contract had set a cap on how much profit Microsoft could make from the arrangement, and I asked him what would happen if and when that point was reached. The answer was a bit puzzling. “Fundamentally, their long-term idea is we get to su
