This Android notification exploit could trick you into opening some very unfriendly links

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-15 09:40:58

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A bug in Android notifications can cause the “Open link” button to open a different link than the one displayed. Hidden characters in the messages can confuse the system, causing it to open a link that only makes up a part of the one in the displayed notification. Until Google issues a fix, it’s safest to avoid using the “Open link” button and open links manually in the app. You might want to think twice before tapping that link in your Android notificati

A Mattress Testing Expert Breaks Down Natural and Organic Certifications (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-09-16 05:32:00

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets. Whether it’s because of a renewed focus on what is truly “healthy” and toxin-free, or a concern over the use of fiberglass (I know we all remember that blowing up on TikTok), more brands are increasingly getting products certified. However, just because someone’s throwing on a label and using buzzwords like “natural” and “organic” doesn’t mean it’s t

Inside a Dark Adtech Empire Fed by Fake CAPTCHAs

krebsonsecurity.com Unknown 2025-09-16 13:14:00

Late last year, security researchers made a startling discovery: Kremlin-backed disinformation campaigns were bypassing moderation on social media platforms by leveraging the same malicious advertising technology that powers a sprawling ecosystem of online hucksters and website hackers. A new report on the fallout from that investigation finds this dark ad tech industry is far more resilient and incestuous than previously known.

Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure

Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure You're happily working away, fingers flying, deep in flow, and suddenly, boink, your session has expired. You sigh, re-enter your password (again), complete an MFA challenge (again), maybe approve an email notification (again), and finally — access restored. Until next time.

Amsterdam thought it was on the right track. City officials in the welfare department believed they could build technology that would prevent fraud while protecting citizens’ rights. They followed these emerging best practices and invested a vast amount of time and money in a project that eventually processed live welfare applications.

Android 16 reduces notification clutter with this simple but needed change

TL;DR Android 16 will automatically group all notifications from the same app to create a more organized notification panel. While Android has supported notification grouping for years, it was largely up to app developers to implement. This behavior is now enforced by the OS, preventing any single app from cluttering the notification panel and making alerts more manageable for users. With the new Android 16 update, Google is introducing several major changes to how notifications look and beha
