OpenAI on Thursday rolled out its latest offering, a comprehensive data collection and analysis capability called “company knowledge”. And although vendors have been granted access to a wide range of enterprise data for decades — think of malware detection that reviews all messages and downloads — analysts and industry observers see this OpenAI effort as being meaningfully different. Part of that difference is the extreme depth of access that OpenAI is proposing, along with a lack of assurances about how that sensitive enterprise data would be used and protected. But an even greater factor is OpenAI itself and how comfortable [...]
Are you sure you’re still alive? If so, you may fall for a phishing scam aimed at getting the master login passwords of LastPass password manager users. OK, this sounds weird, but in some ways it isn’t. If a person dies, their immediate family may not know how to get into the deceased’s password manager, and may contact the vendor asking for access. Scammers suspected of being part of the CryptoChameleon cyber criminal group are trying to take advantage of that by sending oddly-worded phishing messages to LastPass customers. The goal, presumably, is not only to get LastPass login credentials, but [...]
In a victory for surveillance capitalism, Apple may be forced to leave its users in Europe vulnerable to rapacious ad data collection in response to “intense lobbying” by politicians in the region. Apple warns these lobbying efforts mean the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature, which helps prevent apps from tracking what you do across services and websites for advertising purposes, might need to be disabled. Apple may be forced to withdraw ATT ATT gives people the chance to find out what data firms are collecting about them, forces the companies to openly request permission to do so, and gives users protection when they won’t honor [...]
Microsoft is enhancing its Edge browser with Copilot Mode to strengthen its AI capabilities, as it struggles to compete with Chrome’s dominance and a wave of emerging AI-native browsers. The Edge update is part of Microsoft’s broader Copilot Fall Release, which the company positioned as a shift toward “human-centered AI” with new features including a visual avatar called Mico, collaborative group features, and health and education capabilities across its Copilot platform. The update introduced Copilot Actions, letting users ask the AI to perform multi-step tasks like unsubscribing from email lists or making restaurant reservations, Microsoft said in a statement. A [...]
While AI bots have begun mastering tasks in browsers and on Windows, Mac-using enterprises have largely been overlooked, until now. OpenAI aims to change that with its acquisition of generative AI interface maker Software Applications Incorporated. The base of this integration is Sky, a generative AI-based, natural language-input compatible assistant for macOS that the San Francisco-headquartered startup has been developing to help users automate various tasks. “Whether you’re chatting, writing, planning, or coding, Sky understands what’s on your screen and can take action using your apps,” the startup wrote on its portal describing Sky. Giving AI control of the OS [...]
Windows 11 24H2 has been released, but behind the scenes, Microsoft is constantly working to improve the newest version of Windows.

Companies that might be eyeing OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Atlas browser should not rush to use it because of potential security risks, analysts said this week. The browser was unveiled on Tuesday after it had been teased for months as a work in progress. It is currently available for MacOS only. Atlas can help automate online browsing based on user preferences. The browser has ChatGPT as its landing page, where the technology can take control of the browser to run web-based tasks. If a user is viewing a recipe and wants to make it, for example, the browser will automatically go to sites like [...]
AI browsers may be smart, but they’re not smart enough to block a common threat: Malicious extensions. That’s the conclusion of researchers at SquareX, who on Thursday released a report showing how attackers can exploit AI sidebars through compromised browser extensions. This attack vector isn’t new. Malicious extensions have been inserted into browser web stores to infect standard browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and others for years. What SquareX discovered are malicious extensions that can spoof the legitimate AI sidebars people use for queries. Their goal is to trick users into going to malicious websites, running data exfiltration commands, [...]
Reddit this week filed suit against Perplexity and three other companies — Oxylabs UAB, AWM Proxy, and Serp Api — for allegedly engaging in so-called AI scraping without authorization. According to the lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York, the four companies collected millions of posts on Reddit with the aim of monetizing them. Scrapers bypass technical protections to steal data that can then be sold to clients who want the material for AI training. Reddit is a prime target because it is one of the largest and most dynamic collections of human conversation ever created, Reddit’s chief legal [...]
