⚠️ Think you're installing a security patch? Think again.

Hackers are luring WordPress site owners with fake WooCommerce alerts urging a “critical patch” download — but it’s a trap. The download creates a hidden admin account, installs web shells, and gives attackers full control.

📰Were you expecting a ton of Android news at Google I/O next month?

I have great news and potentially bad news:

Great news: You won't have to wait for I/O for big Android news, because "The Android Show: I/O Edition" is happening (virtually) on May 13 @ 10AM PT! This event will feature "the latest updates coming to the Android ecosystem."

Potentially bad news: This might mean Android won't have as big presence during the I/O keynotes...but we already know there will still be several Android-focused sessions (including one on Material 3 Expressive, Android 16 for TV, Android XR, etc.) plus Google says there will be "more special announcements and surprises in store" for us at the event, so fingers crossed!

Another zero day from Microsoft.

Google revises its strategy for how Chrome handles third-party cookies. Going forward, Chrome will block third-party cookies by default only in Incognito mode. The company also plans to review its use of Privacy Sandbox technologies and outline a new roadmap in the coming months.

Last summer, Google backed away from its plan to completely remove third-party cookies from Chrome. Instead, it proposed showing users a dialog box to confirm consent to blocking.

Now, that idea has been abandoned entirely. Third-party cookie blocking will only happen if users enable the feature in their Privacy & Security settings. This means that Chrome will retain the approach of allowing third-party cookies by default, but allowing users to manually enable blocking if they wish.

In addition to revising its cookie blocking strategy, Google has announced plans to enable IP protection in Incognito mode. The feature will launch in the third quarter of this year. IP protection hides a user’s real IP address by routing traffic through proxy servers. When enabled, websites will only see the proxy server's IP address, similar to using a VPN.
