You don’t always need to hack into a company’s systems to get its secrets. Sometimes, the company will simply email them to you. A new report by WIRED’s Matt Burgess has uncovered a bizarre email security problem in which companies are inadvertently sending sensitive information to domains that can be registered and controlled by outsiders. Security researchers Cory Solovevich and Mike Sheward discovered that seemingly harmless addresses such as noreply and deleteduser can become unexpected gateways to corporate information when the domains behind them aren’t properly controlled. The “hack” is buying the right domain The worrying part is that this…

Apple quietly killed the ceramic Apple Watch in 2020, and for the fans of the fancy material, it has been an inexplicable absence ever since. For those catching up, ceramic was the lineup’s most premium material option. It was smooth to touch, scratch-resistant, and had that distinct non-metallic appearance, a characteristic of all titanium and aluminum frames. Now, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is actively planning its return. Why does the ceramic case’s return actually matter? While it isn’t mentioned clearly in the report, Apple could re-introduce a ceramic version of the Apple Watch with either the Series 12…
Apple may be preparing to give the Apple Watch its biggest redesign in years, but the company appears to be thinking much further ahead than this year’s model. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is considering a broader overhaul of the smartwatch lineup, with plans extending into 2027 and potentially 2028. The report suggests Apple is looking beyond the incremental upgrades that have defined the Watch in recent years. Gurman says the company has been exploring different screen sizes, display types and even models without screens as it tries to rethink what an Apple Watch should be. The timing is…
OpenAI is pausing some work on Astra, an artificial intelligence model designed for agentic coding and cybersecurity, after internal testing showed the system had reached a level of capability that raised security concerns. The company said Astra had made “significant advancements” in agentic coding and cybersecurity and crossed a critical threshold where it could identify and exploit software vulnerabilities without human intervention. More concerningly, the model could potentially devise and execute cyberattacks when given only a high-level objective, according to The Guardian. OpenAI said Astra itself was not involved in a real-world cyberattack. However, the company discovered instances of autonomous…
Apple’s search for more memory supply has taken another step forward. The company is now testing DRAM from Chinese manufacturer CXMT across several products, including iPhones and MacBooks, according to The Wall Street Journal. Apple has also held early talks with CXMT about supplying memory for some devices sold in China and is seeking support from the US government before moving ahead. The timing is particularly interesting. Just recently, we learned that a shortage of DRAM could already be holding up production of the A20 Pro chip expected inside the iPhone 18 Pro. TSMC is said to have around $1…
The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else. Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app,…
Apple has released a set of security updates for macOS that fix a vulnerability in Screen Sharing, its built-in remote-access feature. The flaw could allow an attacker on the same network to bypass authentication and gain access to Screen Sharing without valid credentials. The issue is tracked as CVE-2026-65400 and affects multiple versions of macOS. Apple has released macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, macOS Sequoia 15.7.9, and macOS Sonoma 14.8.9, all addressing the same vulnerability. Apple says the vulnerability only potentially affects users who have manually enabled Screen Sharing before installing the update. An attacker would generally need to be on the…
Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android tablets have leaked again, and this time we have what appears to be the clearest look yet at the front of both the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. SammyGuru has published renders of the two tablets showing their displays and bezels. The overall design appears very close to last year’s Galaxy Tab S11 lineup, while the Ultra model once again carries the shallow display notch that many hoped Samsung would finally remove. Samsung has already confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S12 series will arrive during the second half of 2026, while previous reports…
After about four years with the M1 MacBook Air, I finally pulled the trigger on the M5, and I got there just in time to dodge Apple’s recent price hike by eleven days, a story I already told elsewhere, and one that still makes me feel unreasonably smug. Upgrading from the M1 was a multi-generational leap for me, not in the ways mentioned on the spec sheet, but in ways that actually changed how I work every day. Here’s why that matters in 2026, when the memory crisis has hit the consumer electronics market so badly that even giants like…
