Proton has launched a new tool called Lumo, offering a privacy-first AI assistant that does not log user conversations and doesn't use their prompts for training. Proton is a Swiss company behind proven privacy and security tools and services, including Proton Mail, Proton VPN, and Proton Drive.

Kerberoasting is a common attack targeting Microsoft Active Directory, enabling attackers to compromise service accounts with low risk of detection. Because it manipulates legitimate accounts, it can be highly effective. However, robust password security can keep the criminals at bay. First, what is Kerberoasting? The name comes from ‘Kerberos’, the authentication protocol used in Active Directory, which verifies a user’s identity or that of a computer requesting access to resources. Kerberoas
Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys offer a more secure and convenient method of authentication compared with passwords. But they can be challenging to set up and synchronize, especially if you want to use the same ones on a range of devices, such as a mobile phone, tablet, and computer. As one solution, Apple users can save and sync their passkeys across an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The key here is iCloud Keychain, which can store passkeys as well as passwords. You first set up
Facebook and Instagram icons are seen displayed on an iPhone. Meta on Wednesday introduced new safety features for teen users, including enhanced direct messaging protections to prevent "exploitative content."

Teens will also be able to block and report accounts in a single action. "In June alone, they blocked accounts 1 million ti
Meta is adding some of its teen safety features to Instagram accounts featuring children, even if they're ran by adults. While children under 13 years of age aren't allowed to sign up on the social media app, Meta allows adults like parents and managers to run accounts for children and post videos and photos of them. The company says that these accounts are "overwhelmingly used in benign ways," but they're also targeted by predators who leave sexual comments and ask for sexual images in DMs. In
Meta is introducing additional safeguards for Instagram accounts run by adults that primarily feature children, the company announced on Wednesday. These accounts will automatically be placed into the app’s strictest message settings to prevent unwanted messages, and will have the platform’s “Hidden Words” feature enabled to filter offensive comments.

A popular account on TikTok and Instagram stopped posting suddenly at the end of last year, hit by a lawsuit after garnering millions of views on funny videos using adorable Calico Critter dolls made for preschoolers to act out dark, cringe-y adult storylines. While millions of followers mourn the so-called "Sylvanian Drama" account's demise, experts told Ars that the creator may have a decent chance at beating the lawsuit. The "Sylvanian Drama" account derived its name from "Sylvanian Familie
Google The BYOD trend has been a popular way for people to use their own devices at work. But the practice often blurs the line between personal and professional, triggering security risks and other issues. Now, Google has expanded a feature designed to ease and improve the process. On Monday, Google announced that Chrome users on iOS will now be able to switch between their work and personal accounts directly in the browser. This capability has already been available for Chrome desktop and An
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.

Google announced Monday that it’s introducing a new feature that lets iOS users easily switch between work and personal Google accounts in Chrome.

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
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
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

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

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The all-in-one messaging app, Beeper, is getting new security features that enhance chat encryption. It also adds new paid “Plus” and “Plus Plus” tiers with features such as message scheduling, incognito mode, and multiple accounts for the same apps.

Facebook is cracking down on accounts that steal and repost content from other users in an effort to reduce spam in feeds. Meta announced on Monday that creators who repeatedly reuse someone else’s videos, photos, or text posts will lose access to Facebook monetization programs for “a period of time,” and see reduced distribution of their posts on the platform. “Too often the same meme or video pops up repeatedly — sometimes from accounts pretending to be the creator and other times from differ
