The breach of the right-wing provocateur was simply a way of “stirring up some drama,” the attacker tells WIRED. But the damage could have been much worse.

The Apple-focused enterprise solutions provider ecosystem is growing apace to match the rapidly expanding need of enterprise IT. Jamf recently introduced a new anti-spyware solution for high-value targets. Today, competitor Kandji officially introduced its Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)) solution, which aims to fight malware on the Mac.
Newton’s Third Law of motion argues that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the Apple ecosystem is fighting back in a big way against the mercenary spyware companies that have made headlines recently.
Few people in tech sit comfortably with NSO Group and others in their attacks against journalists, human rights advocates, and high-value targets on behalf of repressive governments. They know that these technologies tend to proliferate, which is why most firms are now engaged in finding new ways to fight back.

There’s no doubt generative AI models such as ChatGPT, BingChat, or GoogleBard can deliver massive efficiency benefits — but they bring with them major cybersecurity and privacy concerns along with accuracy worries.
It’s already known that these programs — especially ChatGPT itself — make up facts and repeatedly lie. Far more troubling, no one seems to understand why and how these lies, coyly dubbed “hallucinations,” are happening.
In a recent 60 Minutes interview, Google CEO Sundar Pichai explained: “There is an aspect of this which we call — all of us in the field — call it as a ‘black box.’ You don’t fully understand. And you can’t quite tell why it said this.”
Google today rolled out several new features for enterprise users of its Chrome browser, including data loss prevention (DLP), protections against malware and phishing, and the ability to enable zero-trust access to the search engine.
In all, Google highlighted six new features for Chrome – three of them specific to the browser’s existing DLP capabilities.
A new “context-aware” feature allows enterprise administrators to customize DLP rules based on the security posture of the device being used. For example, admins can allow users to download sensitive documents if they’re accessing them from a corporate device that’s up to date on security fixes or is confirmed to have endpoint protection software installed.
