TikTok is introducing a new “Nearby Feed” to allow users to explore what’s happening around them. The company says the new feed is designed to help users do things like discover a new restaurant close to home or find a new place to explore during a trip. The nearby feed is rolling out to the U.K., France, Italy, and Germany. TikTok was first spotted testing a Nearby feed back in 2022, when it had rolled it out to select users in Southeast Asia. “Posts in the Nearby Feed are shown to people based on location, the topic of the content,…

TL;DR Researchers have identified a new banking malware that replaces your actual banking app with a malicious one. It primarily spreads through APKs distributed via unmoderated channels such as messaging platforms. Once installed, the malware enables hackers to remotely control your device and hide their activities behind fake blank or update screens. Just last week, we learned about a banking malware that exploits accessibility settings on Android to steal your bank credentials in the background. Now, we’re looking at another malware that not only enables remote attacks on Android devices but is distributed freely among hackers as part of a…

Amazon Web Services on Wednesday introduced Kiro powers, a system that allows software developers to give their AI coding assistants instant, specialized expertise in specific tools and workflows — addressing what the company calls a fundamental bottleneck in how artificial intelligence agents operate today.AWS made the announcement at its annual re:Invent conference in Las Vegas. The capability marks a departure from how most AI coding tools work today. Typically, these tools load every possible capability into memory upfront — a process that burns through computational resources and can overwhelm the AI with irrelevant information. Kiro powers takes the opposite approach,…

For many months now, AI companies have made a huge deal out of “AI agents,” meaning autonomous software systems that can make decisions and take actions on behalf of humans with minimal intervention. But when that ambitious vision will turn into a reality remains anybody’s guess. The current crop of agentic AI models is still getting easily tripped up, often requiring humans to jump in, effectively undercutting their purpose. The numbers remain dismal. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University found earlier this year that even the best-performing AI agent, which was Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro at the time, failed to complete real-world…

For years, there has been talk and much debate around AI video generation, and it’s been centered primarily on how to produce cinematic-level perfection. That is, making the output look as real as, say, a Hollywood movie. Every technical next step has brought creators closer to that goal: better lighting, more believable faces, and physics that mostly work.  It’s been an impressive endeavor, but many creators are realizing that no matter how amazing the results they get, they still don’t automatically make their tools useful. The last step toward truly real-looking AI video is how much an actual person can…

I’ve probably made this reference once too often, but there’s a joke that despite what the acronym stands for, USB isn’t very universal. There have been many different connector types over the years, not to mention many different speeds, which can leave people scrambling for different cables, or wondering why a file transfer seems to be taking forever. It’s better than what came before, or than Apple’s defunct Lightning format, but that’s not saying much. If you’re here, you’re presumably struggling to figure out why a cable or charger that seems like it should be powering up a device is…

One problem enterprises face is getting employees to actually use the AI agents their dev teams have built. Google, which has already shipped many AI tools through its Workspace apps, has made Google Workspace Studio generally available to give more employees access to design, manage and share AI agents, further democratizing agentic workflows. This puts Google directly in competition with Microsoft’s Copilot and undercuts some integrations that brought OpenAI’s ChatGPT into enterprise applications. Workspace Studio is powered by Gemini 3, and while it primarily targets business teams rather than developers, it offers builders a way to offload lower-priority agent tasks.  “We’ve all lost…

Baltimore, MD, December 2nd, 2025, CyberNewsWire The 2025 State of AI Data Security Report reveals a widening contradiction in enterprise security: AI adoption is nearly universal, yet oversight remains limited. Eighty-three percent of organizations already use AI in daily operations, but only 13 percent say they have strong visibility into how these systems handle sensitive data. Produced by Cybersecurity Insiders with research support from Cyera Research Labs, the study reflects responses from 921 cybersecurity and IT professionals across industries and organization sizes. The data shows AI increasingly behaving as an ungoverned identity — a non-human user that reads faster, accesses…
