Apple accelerates security patching to counter AI-driven exploit development

Apple has shifted its security strategy by releasing an unexpected out-of-band update to address over 30 vulnerabilities across its ecosystem. This move targets flaws in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Safari, including a high-severity use-after-free bug in the WebKit engine. The company indicated that this accelerated release schedule is a direct response to the decreasing time between vulnerability discovery and active exploitation.

Ubuntu’s ‘Myna’ AI lets you talk instead of type – but how does it work

As you will know, Ubuntu is adding AI features this year, and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth hopes the distro will become the OS for the ‘agentic’ era. But big ambitions begin with a small seed, and the first is planted is a speech-to-text tool dubbed Myna. Name: Myna. Age: Minus 4 months (it’ll debut in Ubuntu 26.10, out in October). Appearance: A keyboard shortcut you press to avoid using your keyboard for typing. What’s this about? A “lightweight speech-to-text application” powered by AI. You press a hotkey to activate it, talk at your computer and, like magic, your words appear on screen. Canonical’s VP […]

Securing Microsoft 365 against rogue AI agents and identity threats

Organizations are increasingly facing risks from rogue AI agents that bypass traditional security perimeters by masquerading as legitimate user identities. These autonomous systems can gain persistent background access through unmanaged user consent or by exploiting legacy authentication flows like device-code and Resource Owner Password Credentials. Because these agents often borrow first-party application IDs, they leave no distinct service principal footprint in Microsoft Entra, making them difficult to distinguish from standard user activity.

📰 Fedora 45 Looks To Finally Offer Install Support For Stratis Storage

Ever since RHEL deprecated their short-lived Btrfs plans, Red Hat engineers over the past decade have been developing Stratis Storage as their storage management solution leveraging XFS, LUKS, DM, and their Rust-based daemon. While Stratis Storage has been available in Fedora Linux going all the way back to Fedora 28, until now there hasn't been the option of using it for the root file-system on new Fedora installations.

Open Memory Protocol enables cross-tool context sharing for AI agents

The Open Memory Protocol (OMP) has launched as a vendor-neutral specification designed to provide a unified memory store for disparate AI tools. This system allows developers to maintain context and user preferences when switching between different platforms like Claude and ChatGPT. By using a shared-memory architecture, compatible clients can read and write to a single user-controlled server instead of maintaining isolated data silos.

Microsoft has removed 119 malicious extensions from the Edge Add-ons store

Microsoft has removed 119 malicious extensions from the Edge Add-ons store and suspended over 90 associated developer accounts. The campaign, dubbed StegoAd, utilized steganography to hide executable code within seemingly harmless image and font files like PNG, WebP, and WOFF2. These extensions reached up to 2.6 million installs by posing as legitimate tools such as ad blockers, VPNs, and translators.
