* Notepad++ Releases Security Update to Address Traffic Hijacking Vulnerability* Google Links Additional Chinese Hacking Groups to Widespread Exploitation of Critical React2Shell Vulnerability* Scammers Abuse PayPal Subscriptions to Send Fake Purchase Notification Emails* Massive Chrome Extension Caught Harvesting Millions of Users' AI Chat Conversations* Google to Discontinue Its Dark Web Report Security Feature in 2026Notepad++ Releases Security Update to Address Traffic Hijacking Vulnerabilityhttps://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v889-released/The popular text editor Notepad++ has released version 8.8.9 to address a critical security vulnerability affecting its updater, WinGUp. According to security experts, incidents of traffic hijacking have been reported, where the traffic between the updater client and the Notepad++ update infrastructure was being redirected to malicious servers, resulting in the download of compromised executables.The vulnerability was found to be a weakness in the way the updater validates the integrity and authenticity of the downloaded update file. Exploiting this weakness, an attacker could intercept the network traffic and prompt the updater to download and execute an unwanted binary instead of the legitimate Notepad++ update. To mitigate this issue, the new release introduces a security enhancement that verifies the signature and certificate of the downloaded installers during the update process, and aborts the update if the verification fails.The investigation into the exact method of the traffic hijacking is ongoing, and users will be informed once tangible evidence is established. In the meantime, Notepad++ recommends that users who have previously installed the root certificate should remove it, as the binaries, including the installer, are now digitally signed using a legitimate certificate issued by GlobalSign. Google Links Additional Chinese Hacking Groups to Widespread Exploitation of Critical React2Shell Vulnerabilityhttps://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/threat-actors-exploit-react2shell-cve-2025-55182/Google's threat intelligence team has identified five more Chinese cyber-espionage groups joining the ongoing attacks exploiting the critical “React2Shell” remote code execution vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-55182. This flaw, which affects the React open-source JavaScript library, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on React and Next.js applications with a single HTTP request.The list of state-linked threat actors now includes UNC6600, UNC6586, UNC6588, UNC6603, and UNC6595, which have been deploying a variety of malware such as the MINOCAT tunneling software, the SNOWLIGHT downloader, the COMPOOD backdoor, and an updated version of the HISONIC backdoor. According to Google, the vulnerability has a significant number of exposed systems due to the widespread use of React Server Components in popular frameworks like Next.js.In addition to the Chinese hacking groups, Google's researchers have also observed Iranian threat actors and financially motivated attackers targeting the React2Shell vulnerability, with some deploying XMRig cryptocurrency mining software on unpatched systems. Internet watchdog groups have tracked over 116,000 vulnerable IP addresses, primarily located in the United States, highlighting the widespread impact of this critical flaw. Scammers Abuse PayPal Subscriptions to Send Fake Purchase Notification Emailshttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/beware-paypal-subscriptions-abused-to-send-fake-purchase-emails/Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new email scam that abuses PayPal's “Subscriptions” billing feature to send legitimate-looking PayPal emails containing fake purchase notifications. The emails, which appear to come from the legitimate service[at]paypal.com address, state that the recipient's “automatic payment is no longer active” and include a customer service URL field that has been modified to display a message about a large, expensive purchase.The goal of these scam emails is to trick recipients into believing their account has been used to make an expensive purchase, such as a Sony device, MacBook, or iPhone, and prompt them to call a provided phone number to “cancel or dispute the payment.” This tactic is commonly used to convince victims to engage in bank fraud or install malware on their computers.Investigations have revealed that the scammers are able to send these emails directly from PayPal's servers by exploiting the company's Subscriptions feature. When a merchant pauses a subscriber's subscription, PayPal automatically sends a notification email to the subscriber, which the scammers are then modifying to include the fake purchase information. PayPal has stated that they are actively working to mitigate this method and urge customers to be vigilant and contact their customer support directly if they suspect they have been targeted by this scam.Massive Chrome Extension Caught Harvesting Millions of Users' AI Chat Conversationshttps://www.koi.ai/blog/urban-vpn-browser-extension-ai-conversations-data-collectionA Google Chrome extension with over 6 million users has been observed silently collecting every prompt entered by users into popular AI-powered chatbots, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Microsoft's Copilot, and others. The extension in question, Urban VPN Proxy, is advertised as a secure VPN service but has been updated to include a tailored script that intercepts and exfiltrates users' chat conversations to remote servers.The extension, which also has 1.3 million installations on Microsoft Edge, overrides the browser's network request APIs to capture the user's prompts, the chatbot's responses, conversation identifiers, timestamps, and session metadata. This data is then sent to two remote servers owned by Urban Cyber Security Inc., the Delaware-based company behind the extension. The company claims the data is collected for “marketing analytics purposes” and that it will be anonymised, but it also shares the raw, non-anonymised data with an affiliated ad intelligence firm, BIScience.Despite the extension's “Featured” badge on the Chrome Web Store, which implies it meets the platform's “best practices and high standards,” researchers have discovered that the data harvesting occurs regardless of whether the extension's “AI protection” feature is enabled. This feature is designed to warn users about sharing personal information, while the developers fail to disclose that the extension is simultaneously exfiltrating the entire chat conversation to its own servers. This type of data collection and sharing without user consent poses a serious risk to users' privacy and security.Google to Discontinue Its Dark Web Report Security Feature in 2026Google has announced that it will be shutting down its “dark web report” security tool, which notifies users if their email address or other personal information has been found on the dark web. The tech giant stated that it wants to focus on other tools it believes are more helpful to users in protecting their online security and privacy.According to their email notification, Google will stop monitoring for new dark web results on January 15, 2026, and the data will no longer be available from February 16, 2026. The company acknowledged that while the dark web report feature provided general information, feedback showed that it did not offer clear, actionable steps for users to protect their data.Going forward, Google will continue to invest in other security tools, such as the Google Password Manager, Password Checkup, and the “Results about you” feature, which allows users to find and request the removal of their personal information from Google Search results.

Ford - Management Confused - Instead of planning to make enough electric vehicles to account for 40 percent of global sales by 2030—as it pledged just four years ago—Ford says it will focus on a broader range of hybrids, extended-range electrics, and battery-electric models, which executives now say will account for 50 percent of sales by the end of the decade. - The automaker will make hybrid versions of almost every vehicle in its lineup, the company says. - All in on EVS cost them - Ford expects to record about $19.5 billion in special items, mostly during the fourth quarter. ---- The charges are related to a restructuring of its business priorities and a pullback in its all-electric vehicle investments.

These are due to commence between now and its 2028 financial year but they're not yet included on its balance sheet. - That's almost $150 billion more than was disclosed in the footnotes of September's earnings update.

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Sam Preston — CEO of Service Scalers — to talk about the marketing asset that still quietly outperforms everything else in home services: your Google Business Profile (GBP). John and Sam break down why AI hasn't disrupted GBP the way people expected, how Google reviews are now getting pulled directly into AI search results, and why “map pack visibility” remains the cheapest, highest-intent lead source in the game.They get tactical on what actually drives rankings and calls in 2026. Sam lays out the three biggest needle-movers — proximity, category/keyword strength, and reviews — and John shows how Wilson Companies invests roughly $10K/month into GBP because it drives roughly $500K/month in sales. They go deep on why location is a marketing decision, how to scale multiple profiles without overlapping service areas, and why most owners waste time optimizing tiny details before locking in the fundamentals.If your LSA performance is lagging, your organic lead volume feels capped, or you're planning multi-location growth next year, this episode is the blueprint for turning GBP into a compounding growth engine.What You'll LearnThe 3 ranking drivers that matter most: proximity, primary category, review cadenceWhy location is a marketing decision (and how it changes growth overnight)How to scale multi-trade businesses without confusing Google's category systemThe real review strategy: frequency, volume, quality, and photos

In today's MadTech Daily we look at newly released figures from Ofcom, Tencent dropping out of Paramount's Warner Bros bid over US regulatory fears, and Cadent acquiring YouTube ad firm VuePlanner.
In this episode of ChainLeak, we explore “The First Web3 Search Engine” with special guest Tim Enneking, CEO of Presearch.We dive deep into how search is being reimagined for a post-AI, post-Web2 world and what it really takes to build transparent, user-centric discovery infrastructure at scale.
In this episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel Rowles and Ciaran Rogers dive into one of the most significant shifts in digital marketing: the rise of non keyword signals and what it means for search, privacy, and the future of campaign targeting. With AI-powered ad platforms like Google's AI Max and social algorithms driven by behavioural data rather than search intent, the old model of keyword-driven marketing is rapidly giving way to something more opaque, more personalised, and potentially more invasive. Daniel and Ciaran explore how AI systems now use a vast array of signals, from your browsing patterns and email content to your location history and viewing habits, to anticipate what you might want before you even search. But what does this mean for marketers who've spent years honing their SEO and PPC strategies? And what does it mean for user privacy in a world where your chatbot conversations may be fuelling ad targeting? In This Episode: What are non keyword signals? Understand how platforms like Google and Meta are using behaviour, context and historical activity instead of just search terms. Why your impressions are up but clicks are down Learn how AI summaries in Google Search are reducing organic click-throughs, even when your rankings are strong. AI Max campaigns and keywordless targeting Discover how Google Ads is shifting towards AI-led campaigns that rely on intent and engagement signals rather than keyword triggers , and why some brands are seeing 20–30% uplift as a result. What Meta's CMO said about disconnected content Hear how Alex Schultz explained the shift from connected (likes, follows) to disconnected content (Reels, Stories, Shorts), and what that means for social strategy. Privacy concerns and grey areas Explore the implications of Meta's new terms allowing AI chat interactions to inform ad targeting, and whether AI chat data could be inadvertently shared or commercialised. Real-world scenario: Chatbots used for lead capture Daniel raises a powerful example, what if you offered a free AI chatbot to other brands, then harvested user intent data for your own ad targeting? Platform security, data visibility and agent risks From OneDrive access errors to AI agents managing your logins, the hosts discuss the human errors that AI amplifies, and the need for robust security practices. Key Takeaways: We're entering a post-keyword era Platforms are using AI to interpret intent through broader, richer data sources, including chat behaviour, video viewing and app usage. Organic traffic is being cannibalised by AI summaries Even if your visibility improves, actual user clicks may continue to decline. Privacy risks are growing Terms and conditions are changing, and conversations with AI tools may no longer be as private as they seem. Marketing teams must audit how they use AI Understand what data your AI tools are accessing and how that data could be used, now and in the future. Join the conversation This isn't just a podcast - it's an open debate. Daniel and Ciaran want your input, and they're giving away prizes, books and merch to contributors.

Media expert Stuart Brotman joins the program for an eye-opening conversation about the growing crisis of censorship and control in America. As an advisor to four U.S. presidents and one of the nation's leading authorities on media law and free expression, Brotman brings a unique and deeply informed perspective on how our digital environment is being shaped behind the scenes.Together, we dive into Section 230, the shifting legal landscape, and how the justice system is struggling to catch up with the power of today's tech giants. We confront the real-world consequences of these failures, including my own case: a smear campaign and explicit, defamatory associations that appeared on the front page of Google Search—damaging not only to me as a journalist, but to every American who depends on a fair and safe information ecosystem.This conversation is a clear warning: what happened to me can happen to anyone, and the public deserves transparency, accountability, and the right to their own reputation.To go deeper into these issues, you can purchase Stuart Brotman's groundbreaking new book here: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510786752/free-expression-under-fire/See exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- On Thursday, several Democratic lawmakers—Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan—released a video to social media imploring service members and intelligence officials to disobey “illegal” orders issued by President Donald Trump. Though, they never once mentioned what the orders might hypothetically be. In a post to Truth Social, President Trump stated: “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” He added, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” 4:30pm- Don't listen to Rich's Google search recommendations…under any circumstances…your targeted ads will never let you forget it… 4:45pm- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphatically told the press that “no,” President Trump is not calling for the execution of lawmakers who posted a video urging military service members to ignore orders from the president.
Google Search Console (GSC) New! Branded and Non-Branded Queries + Annotation Filters | Marketing Talk with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.This episode focuses on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the new features within Google Search Console (GSC).Favour discuss the recently introduced brand queries and annotations features in GSC, highlighting their importance for understanding both branded and non-branded search behavior.The conversation also emphasizes the broader strategic use of GSC data, comparing it to a car's dashboard for website performance, and explores how this data can be leveraged to create valuable content, such as FAQ-based blog posts and multimedia assets, often with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. A key theme is the shift from traditional keyword ranking to ranking for user experience and the interconnectedness of various digital tools in modern marketing strategy.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast--------------------------------------------------------------------------------As a content strategist, you live with a fundamental uncertainty. You create content you believe your audience needs, but a nagging question always remains: are you hitting the mark? It often feels like you're operating with a blind spot, focusing on concepts while, as the experts say, "you don't even know the intention behind why they're asking or searching."What if you could close that gap? What if your audience could tell you, explicitly, what they need you to create next?That's the paradigm shift happening right now inside Google Search Console (GSC). Long seen as a technical tool, recent updates are transforming GSC into a strategic command center. It's no longer just for SEO specialists; it's the dashboard for your entire content operation. These new developments are a game-changer, revealing direct intelligence from your audience that will change how you plan, create, and deliver content.Here are the five truths these new GSC features reveal—and how they give you a powerful competitive edge.1. Stop Driving Your Website Blind: The Dashboard AnalogyManaging a website without GSC is like driving a car without a dashboard. You're moving, but you have no idea how fast you're going or if you're about to run out of fuel. GSC is that free, indispensable dashboard providing direct intelligence straight from Google. But the analogy runs deeper. As one strategist put it, driving isn't passive: "when you're driving, you got to hit the gas, you got to... hit the brakes... when do you stop, when do you go, what do you tweak? Do you go to a pit stop?"You wouldn't drive your car without looking at the dashboard. So you shouldn't have a website and drive traffic and do all the things we do without looking at GSC, right?Your content strategy requires the same active management—knowing when to accelerate, when to pivot, and when to optimize. The new features make this "dashboard" more intuitive than ever, giving you the controls you need to navigate with precision.2. The Goldmine in Your Search Queries: Branded vs. Non-BrandedThe first game-changing update is the new "brand queries" filter. For the first time, GSC allows you to easily separate searches for your specific brand name (branded) from searches for the topics and solutions you offer (non-branded). This is the first step in a powerful new workflow: Discovery.Think of your non-branded queries as raw, unfiltered intelligence from your potential audience. These aren't just keywords; they're direct expressions of need. Instead of an abstract concept, you see tangible examples like:• “best practices for washing dishes”• “best pet shampoo”• “best Thanksgiving turkey meal”When you see more non-branded than branded queries, it's a powerful signal. It means you have access to a goldmine of raw material you can build content on to attract a wider audience that doesn't know your brand… yet. This isn't just data; it's a direct trigger for your next move.3. From Keyword to "Keynote": Creating Content with ContextOnce you've discovered this raw material, the next step is Development. This is where you transform an unstructured keyword into a strategic asset by adding structure and meaning. It's a progression: a raw keyword becomes a more defined keyphrase, which can be built into a keystone concept, and ultimately refined into a keynote.What's a keynote? Think about its real-world meaning: "when somebody sends you a note, it has context, right? It's supposed to mean something and it's supposed to say something specific." A keynote isn't just a search term; it's that term fully developed into a structured piece of content that delivers a specific, meaningful answer.This strategic asset can take many forms:• Blogs• Podcast episodes• Articles• Newsletters• Videos/Reels• eBooks4. The Most Underrated SEO Tactic: Your New Secret WeaponYou've discovered the query and developed it into a keynote. Now it's time for Execution. The single most effective format for executing on this strategy is one of the most powerful, yet underrated, SEO tactics in history: creating content around Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has fundamentally changed search behavior. People are asking full, conversational questions, and search engines are prioritizing direct, authoritative answers. A "one blog per FAQ" strategy is the perfect response. It's a secret weapon that's almost shockingly effective.FAQ is the new awesome the most awesome ever. I I said that on purpose.How awesome? By creating a single, targeted blog post for the long-tail question, "full roof replacement cost [city]," one site ranked number one on Google for that exact phrase in just 30 minutes. That's the power of directly answering a question your audience is already asking.5. It's Not About New Features, It's About New ActionsThe real purpose of these GSC updates isn't to give you more charts to observe; it's to prompt decisive action. Every non-branded query is a signal for what content to create next, feeding a powerful strategic loop that builds your authority over time.This is where it all comes together in a professional content framework. As the source material notes, "That's why you have content pillars and you have content clusters." Your non-branded queries show you what clusters your audience needs, and your FAQ-style "keynotes" become the assets that build out those clusters around your core content pillars.This data-driven approach empowers you to:• Recreate outdated content with new, relevant insights.• Repurpose core ideas into different formats to reach wider audiences.• Re-evaluate which topics are truly resonating.• Reemphasize your most valuable messages with fresh content.Conclusion: What Does Your Dashboard Say?Google Search Console is no longer just a reporting tool. It has evolved into an essential strategic partner that closes the gap between the content you produce and the value your audience is searching for. It's your direct line to understanding intent, allowing you to move from guessing what people want to knowing what they need.Now that you know how to read your website's dashboard, what's the first turn you're going to make?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
How do you build systems with AI? Not code-generating assistants, but production systems that use LLMs as part of their processing pipeline. When should you chain multiple agent calls together versus just making one LLM request? And how do you debug, test, and deploy these things? The industry is clearly in exploration mode—we're seeing good ideas implemented badly and expensive mistakes made at scale. But Google needs to get this right more than most companies, because AI is both their biggest opportunity and an existential threat to their search-based business model.Christina Lin from Google joins us to discuss Agent Development Kit (ADK), Google's open-source Python framework for building agentic pipelines. We dig into the fundamental question of when agent pipelines make sense versus traditional code, exploring concepts like separation of concerns for agents, tool calling versus MCP servers, Google's grounding feature for citation-backed responses, and agent memory management. Christina explains A2A (Agent-to-Agent), Google's protocol for distributed agent communication that could replace both LangChain and MCP. We also cover practical concerns like debugging agent workflows, evaluation strategies, and how to think about deploying agents to production.If you're trying to figure out when AI belongs in your processing pipeline, how to structure agent systems, or whether frameworks like ADK solve real problems versus creating new complexity, this episode breaks down Google's approach to making agentic systems practical for production use.--Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DeveloperVoices/joinGoogle Agent Development Kit Announcement: https://developers.googleblog.com/en/agent-development-kit-easy-to-build-multi-agent-applications/ADK on GitHub: https://google.github.io/adk-docs/Google Gemini: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-apiGoogle Vertex AI: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-aiGoogle AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/Google Grounding with Google Search: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/grounding/overviewModel Context Protocol (MCP): https://modelcontextprotocol.io/Anthropic MCP Servers: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/serversLangChain: https://www.langchain.com/Kris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/krisajenkins.bsky.socialKris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/

In this highly anticipated annual episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back Eric Morris, Managing Director of Retail at Google Canada, to unpack Google's 2025 Holiday Retail Insights Report—a tradition that has become a favourite among Canadian retailers. Eric brings more than two decades of experience helping brands leverage Google Search, YouTube, and AI-driven technologies to drive omnichannel performance, and this year's conversation reveals the most transformative shift yet: Canada's first AI-powered holiday shopping season.Eric begins by exploring the deep behavioural changes driving consumer decision-making. According to the report, 73% of holiday purchases were researched in advance, and nearly half occurred more than a week after initial contemplation—a sign that today's shoppers are more choiceful, deliberate, and digitally engaged than ever. He explains that Canadians have long punched above their weight in digital savviness, consistently searching, streaming, and banking online more than global counterparts. But this year stands apart as AI tools—both visible and invisible—reshape the search experience.With AI Overviews, conversational AI mode, and rapidly improving multimodal search, Canadians are now issuing longer, richer, more specific queries. Whether a shopper types, speaks, or snaps a photo to find an item, retailers must be prepared to surface high-quality, AI-ready content. Eric stresses that this shift mirrors prior digital “moments” such as mobile and the pandemic-driven eCommerce surge—but AI is scaling even faster. Nearly half of Canadians plan to use AI tools during holiday shopping, and the true number is likely higher because many encounter AI without realizing it.The conversation also examines the rising influence of Gen Z, the most search-intensive generation. Gen Z shoppers use 10 or more sources when researching purchases and increasingly rely on tools like Circle to Search and YouTube reviews, unboxings, and creator-led content. Their behaviour underscores the need for retailers to deliver richer product information—from enhanced descriptions to 3D imagery to short-form video.Looking toward 2026, Eric outlines the timeless fundamentals retailers must prioritize—being discoverable early, winning peak holiday moments, and understanding omnichannel impact rather than measuring digital purely through eCommerce. But he also emphasizes new imperatives: generating AI-optimized product content at scale, enriching feeds and attributes, and preparing for agentic shopping journeys where AI assists (or even automates) research and selection.Check out Google's Holiday Research 2025 Here.

“Sometimes a term is so apt, its meaning so clear and so relevant to our circumstances, that it becomes more than just a useful buzzword and grows to define an entire moment,” the columnist Kyle Chayka writes, in a review of Cory Doctorow's book “Enshittification.” Doctorow, a prolific tech writer, is a co-founder of the tech blog Boing Boing, and an activist for online civil liberties with the Electronic Frontier Foundation—so he knows whereof he speaks. He argues that the phenomenon of tech platforms seemingly getting worse for users is not a matter of perception but a business strategy. For example, “the Google-D.O.J. antitrust trial last year surfaced all these memos about a fight about making Google Search worse,” Doctorow explains, in a conversation with Chayka. A Google executive had suggested that, instead of displaying perfectly prioritized results on the first search attempt, “what if we make it so that you got to search two or three times, and then, every time, we got to show you ads?” But, Doctorow argues, there is hope for a better future, if we can resist complacency; big internet platforms all depend on forms of “surveillance” of their users. “The coalition [against this] is so big, and it crosses so many political lines,” Doctorow says, “that if we could just make it illegal to spy on people, we could solve so many problems.”New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.
