Stadia RAT: StealC’s Comeback Brings Hidden Desktop Control and Browser Theft to Windows PCs

The StealC operation that law enforcement disrupted this summer has not disappeared — it has evolved. Researchers recently identified a rebuilt strain, marketed as Stadia, that fuses credential theft with a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) feature set designed to give operators secret, persistent control over infected Windows machines. While the takedown seized infrastructure, surviving code and a ready customer base appear to have enabled the seller to rebrand and relaunch…

AWS Continuum: Turning Vulnerability Noise into Actionable, Context-Aware Fixes

Security teams are drowning in scanner output: thousands of findings a day, many irrelevant or impossible to exploit. AWS Continuum for code vulnerabilities aims to change that dynamic by validating which findings are actually exploitable in your environment, ranking issues by business impact, and proposing concrete remediations that integrate directly into developer workflows. It combines code analysis, environment context, and sandboxed reproduction to move teams from manual triage to prioritized,…

Critical GitLab AI Gateway Flaw: What Administrators Need to Do Now

GitLab has pushed an urgent set of security updates after disclosing a critical vulnerability in its AI Gateway that could allow authenticated users to run arbitrary commands on the gateway. Tracked as CVE-2026-90970 and rated CVSS 9.9, the flaw affects self-hosted AI Gateway deployments that support GitLab Duo AI features. While GitLab’s hosted gateways have already been patched, organizations running their own gateways must act immediately to mitigate a high-impact…

Apple tightens Full Disk Access controls to block potential AI agent abuse

When an AI assistant began referencing private iMessage threads without a clear explanation of how it accessed them, it set off a rapid chain of scrutiny and vendor responses. Apple has moved to tighten macOS’s Full Disk Access (FDA) permissions after concerns that some third-party apps could misuse that powerful system-level privilege to read private files, messages, and browsing histories. The change is aimed squarely at making sure users understand…

The Credential-Free Watchdog: Mastering Event-Driven App Automation

We have all been there. You are an automation lover. You have built a masterpiece — a Scheduled Task, perfectly configured, credentials entered, running like clockwork. You walk away like a hero. Then Monday morning hits. Your account is locked. Your coffee tastes like failure. I once left a mapped network drive in an SOE test build and completely forgot about it. Windows did not forget. Every night it faithfully…

OpenAI Debuts Shared Workspace Agents to Automate Team Handoffs

OpenAI has introduced a new class of ChatGPT tools called shared workspace agents — always-on assistants designed to carry work across systems and through multi-step processes without constant human prompting. Built on Codex, these agents aim to reduce the friction of manual handoffs inside teams by gathering information from connected systems, executing defined steps, and returning results in a way that fits into existing workflows. What workspace agents do Workspace…

Accenture and WaveMaker’s bet on mid-market AI modernization

Accenture and WaveMaker have forged a strategic collaboration aimed at helping mid-market organizations modernize their applications using WaveMaker’s agentic AI platform. Rather than positioning this as a large enterprise play, the partnership focuses on companies with revenues up to about $3 billion that often lack the budgets or in-house engineering scale for full-scale digital transformation. The goal is practical: accelerate modernization and new app delivery while controlling cost, complexity, and…

Google brings “Skills” to Chrome so Gemini prompts are instantly reusable

Chrome is getting another nudge toward becoming the home for Google’s AI toolbox. This spring Google introduced “Skills,” a way to save Gemini prompts inside the browser so common queries and workflows can be retriggered with a click. Rather than retyping or copy‑pasting a prompt each time you want Gemini to perform a task, Skills let you store and reuse those instructions across tabs and devices, speeding up repeatable tasks…

Building an AI Coding Tool Stack for Modern Development

The past few years have quietly transformed how software is written. AI-assisted tools are no longer experimental add-ons; they're becoming integral parts of developer workflows. But picking the right combination of models, integrations, and guardrails is more art than science. This article walks through a pragmatic approach to assembling an AI coding tool stack that improves productivity without sacrificing code quality, security, or team cohesion. Why an AI coding stack…

Price Elasticity: The One Data Point That Could Clarify AI’s Impact on Jobs

Silicon Valley’s conversations about AI often sound like inevitabilities: sweeping automation, mass displacement, and workplaces remade by powerful models. Those scenarios have driven anxiety among workers and intense debate among researchers. But one practical problem underlies much of the confusion: we lack the right economic data to predict how AI-driven productivity gains will actually affect employment. Without that missing piece, policymakers and economists are largely guessing. Why exposure metrics are…

What’s New in Microsoft Defender: AI Triage, Predictive Hardening, and Call Monitoring — What IT Teams Should Know

Microsoft used RSA 2026 to roll out a wave of Defender enhancements that are already changing how security teams detect, investigate, and respond to risk. The announcements bundle intuitive UX changes—like a consolidated identity dashboard—with more consequential shifts: AI-driven triage and automated hardening that can act proactively on predicted attacker movement. These features promise speed and scale, but they also introduce operational and governance questions that every security leader should…
