Ad blockers have traditionally lived inside web browsers, quietly cleaning up websites while leaving the rest of your apps untouched. A new tool called Filtr now wants to change that by bringing system-wide ad and tracker blocking to Apple devices, potentially reshaping how users experience apps across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Filtr is being positioned as a privacy-focused utility capable of blocking advertising and tracking requests in almost every app installed on Apple devices. Built by the developer behind the Wipr ad blocker, the tool reportedly uses Apple’s newer URL Filtering framework introduced in recent operating system updates. Instead of…
Swati KhandelwalJun 04, 2026Vulnerability / Network Security Cisco has patched a bug in Unified Communications Manager that lets an unauthenticated attacker on the network write files to the box and, from there, climb to root. It is tracked as CVE-2026-20230, and proof-of-concept exploit code is already public. Cisco’s PSIRT says it has not seen the flaw used in attacks yet. The PoC shortens that runway. The flaw is a server-side request forgery. Unified CM and its Session Management Edition fail to validate certain HTTP requests properly, so a crafted request can push the server into writing arbitrary files onto the…
Welcome to the era of the big three.We’re not talking rappers here — although according to Kendrick Lamar, it’s “just big me” — we’re talking AI companies: Anthropic, SpaceX, and OpenAI.These three leading artificial intelligence companies are all expected to go public this year. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which recently acquired another Musk company, xAi, is on track to open up to investors later this month. Anthropic, the company behind the chatbot Claude, just filed confidentially with the States Securities and Exchange Commission for its own initial public offering. Reports say OpenAI could also go public as soon as September. (Disclosure:…
A case of New World screwworm has been confirmed in South Texas, the US Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday night. It marks the first detected breach of the US-Mexico border by the ravenous flesh-eating flies, which have been making their way up through Central America for the past several years.In a social media post on Wednesday afternoon, the USDA revealed that a sample from Texas had been sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, Iowa, for confirmatory testing of a screwworm infection. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins later posted that the testing had confirmed the infection, which was…
The old success metrics no longer survive contact with reality. There is a particular kind of clarity that comes from walking out of three days of analyst sessions and realizing that the conference didn’t change your mind — it confirmed something you’d been reluctant to say out loud. I was at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit in National Harbor this week. By the end of it, what struck me wasn’t any single session or data point. It was the cumulative weight of a profession reckoning honestly with the gap between how it has defined success for a decade…
MIT, in collaboration with Georgia State University and a growing network of educational institutions, has announced expanded work under PATH (Pathways for AI Training and Hiring) — a multiyear initiative designed to scale effective, affordable, industry-aligned AI training for entry-level and current workers, with a particular focus on transforming community colleges into engines powering an AI-enabled workforce for the nation. “In the era of AI, economic opportunity and mobility will increasingly depend on whether people can develop practical, industry-relevant AI skill sets and mindsets, not just familiarity with tools,” says Cynthia Breazeal, principal investigator (PI) of PATH and professor of media…
The new “AI for All” plan prioritizes strengthening data protections and increasing AI adoption. FotoField/Shutterstock Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a new AI strategy that will guide Canada’s next five years of legislation and infrastructure investment. While the new “AI for All” plan is slightly more focused on the impact the technology will have on normal people than President Donald Trump’s similar framework for the US, it’s just as concerned with growing his country’s domestic AI industry, while ignoring the growing backlash. “With the global AI market projected to reach US $4.8 trillion by…
Radiant Logic Inc., a platform that provides identity visibility and intelligence, today announced it’s extending its services to agentic artificial intelligence to help companies control and govern this new type of autonomous software. As autonomous AI systems proliferate, including AI agents, and begin to join employees within corporate networks, these systems are being given deep access to sensitive enterprise data, tools, privileges and context. Radiant Logic argues that this is opening up a whole new surface that is largely invisible to most companies when it comes to what can happen when something goes wrong: AI agents don’t walk in the…
