U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid unprecedented cyberattack
FBI and CISA officials said it was impossible to predict when the telecommunications companies would be fully safe from interlopers.
Amid an unprecedented cyberattack on telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Verizon, U.S. officials have recommended that Americans use encrypted messaging apps to ensure their communications stay hidden from foreign hackers.
The hacking campaign, nicknamed Salt Typhoon by Microsoft, is one of the largest intelligence compromises in U.S. history, and it has not yet been fully remediated. Officials on a news call Tuesday refused to set a timetable for declaring the country’s telecommunications systems free of interlopers. Officials had told NBC News that China hacked AT&T, Verizon and Lumen Technologies to spy on customers.

Some users are seeing a new UI for the Google Gemini overlay on Android.
This was first spotted in a teardown a few weeks ago by @AssembleDebug. I haven't gotten it yet, but tipster Mustachedminer has. Here's a comparison of the old UI vs. the new UI.
LMK if you see it!

Google has published the Android Security Paper for 2024.
This document offers a comprehensive overview of every feature in
Android and the Google Play ecosystem that protects users, developers, and businesses from threats.
It's really long but covers a TON of interesting topics, like hardware-backed security measures, virtualization, sandboxing, permissions, app review policies, and more.
I've already skimmed over it and haven't found anything "new", ie. nothing that hasn't been previously reported, but it's worth a read if you're interested in this stuff!
