Search is still important to Google, but soon it will change. At its all-in-one AI Google I/O event Tuesday, the company introduced a host of AI-enabled features coming to Google Search at various points in the near future, which will "do more for you than you ever imagined."
"Google will do the Googling for you," said Liz Reid, Google's head of Search.
It's not AI in every search, but it will seemingly be hard to avoid a lot of offers to help you find, plan, and brainstorm things. "AI Overviews," the successor to the Search Generative Experience, will provide summary answers to questions, along with links to sources. You can also soon submit a video as a search query, perhaps to identify objects or provide your own prompts by voice.

The developers of team-based shooter Marvel Rivals have apologized for a contract clause that made creators promise not to provide "subjective negative reviews of the game" in exchange for early access to a closed alpha test.
The controversial early access contract gained widespread attention over the weekend when streamer Brandon Larned shared a portion on social media. In the "non-disparagement" clause shared by Larned, creators who are provided with an early download code are asked not to "make any public statements or engage in discussions that are detrimental to the reputation of the game." In addition to the "subjective negative review" example above, the clause also specifically prohibits "making disparaging or satirical comments about any game-related material" and "engaging in malicious comparisons with competitors or belittling the gameplay or differences of Marvel Rivals."
Extremely disappointed in @MarvelRivals.
Multiple creators asked for key codes to gain access to the playtest and are asked to sign a contract.
The contract signs away your right to negatively review the game.
Many streamers have signed without reading just to play

In a Discord post noticed by PCGamesN over the weekend, Chinese developer NetEase apologized for what it called "inappropriate and misleading terms" in the contract. "Our stand is absolutely open for both suggestions and criticisms to improve our games, and... our mission is to make Marvel Rivals better [and] satisfy players by those constructive suggestions."

It's high time Aston Martin had a winner on its hands. Last year it updated the DB12 with a smart new face, plenty of power, and the sort of infotainment you'd hope for from a luxury GT. The Vantage, the firm's 'entry-level' car, has been given similar treatment in the hopes that it can peel a few more people away from Porsche dealerships.
Aston is looking not only to make better cars, but also to shift its image—it's aiming to be seen as more luxurious than before, and is throwing as much power at the cars as possible. At first glance, it looks like Aston has cooked up something truly delightful.
The new car is more than 150 hp (112 kW) more powerful than the one it replaces, with 656 hp (490 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) from a wonderfully appointed turbocharged 4.0 L V8. Its 0 to 60 time is quoted at 3.4 seconds, and Aston reckons that if you have enough space (and no speed limits) you'll see the far side of 200 mph (321 km/h). It is not slow.
One of the most pressing issues for businesses today is understanding cyber risk in financial terms. While data breaches often headline the news, accurately calculating the potential cost of such an attack remains elusive. This lack of clarity hinders informed decision-making around cybersecurity investments.
However, a potential solution may be emerging. Companies like CDW are developing tools that leverage cybersecurity insurance data and best-practice protocols to quantify cyber risk. By translating risk into dollar figures, businesses can prioritize security investments and make data-driven decisions about mitigation strategies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the cybersecurity landscape. While AI-powered tools hold immense potential for automating repetitive tasks and improving efficiency, security professionals are concerned about the technology's potential misuse by attackers.
The fear lies in the possibility of AI exposing sensitive data through large language models, especially in the absence of robust data governance and access control measures. Companies considering AI implementation will need to prioritize these aspects to ensure their data remains secure.
Critical infrastructure facilities, like power plants and water treatment centers, are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals. These facilities often rely on aging OT systems, not designed for today's internet-connected world, making them vulnerable.
The potential consequences of a successful attack on such facilities are far-reaching, potentially disrupting entire regions. To address this growing threat, a holistic approach is needed. One such approach, the 5D security model, focuses on identifying vulnerabilities, deploying solutions, and fostering a culture of shared accountability between IT and OT teams.
The RSA Conference is more than just a showcase of new technology. This year's RSA Conference theme, "The Art of Possible," reflects a focus on innovation and community collaboration. Keynote speakers such as Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will discuss the government's efforts to integrate cybersecurity into emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing.
The conference will also feature a diverse roster of speakers from the cybersecurity industry, including technologist Bruce Schneier and former CISA Director Chris Krebs.
Hugh Thompson, RSAC's executive chairman, emphasizes the conference's role in fostering collaboration within the cybersecurity community. This "community problem-solving" approach is crucial in combating evolving threats.
The event will feature a diverse range of speakers, including government officials, technologists, security experts, and even representatives from the arts and entertainment world. This cross-disciplinary approach underscores the importance of collaboration in building a more secure future.
The RSA 2024 remains a cornerstone event for the cybersecurity industry. By addressing critical issues like quantifying cyber risk, securing OT systems, and fostering collaboration, the event aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the ever-evolving threat landscape.

You could call them "sky flowers," but that doesn't really make sense either—after all, the faded blue behind each squiggle is water, not sky, and the squiggles themselves don't represent solid objects in any tangible, meaningful way. But they look right. The reds and greens and yellows add life and color in a way that a flat blue might not. Those odd shapes, suspended motionless with no clear reason or value, establish a tone. There are a lot of things that don't make sense on SpongeBob SquarePants. But there's a clear and coherent vision that runs through the entire show, from the design of SpongeBob's kitchen-sponge body down to the squeaky-balloon sound of his footsteps. It's a perspective, and a warm, specific, crazy little world. Of course it has sky flowers in it. What else would be up there?Today marks 25 years since the original broadcast of "Help Wanted" -- the pilot episode of marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg's educational comic that became a delightful romp of "relentless optimism and fundamental sweetness", a hothouse flower of inventive and absurdist imagination, a cultural touchstone for multiple generations, and one of the most iconic and beloved animated franchises of the 21st century. Are you ready, kids?
Season 1: part one - part two - part three Season 2: part one - part two - part three - part four Season 3: part one - part two - part three - part four(PS: Why so much focus on the first three seasons?

Like all postmodern "texts", Spongebob Squarepants doesn't deny the absurdity of existence. The show is filled with absurd and surreal moments, far too many to describe here. And as a postmodern show, Spongebob has its nihilistic moments as well. One in particular that stands out is from season three's episode "Doing Time", when Spongebob and Patrick attempt to break Mrs. Puff out of jail. After she refuses to leave, Spongebob wonders to Patrick if maybe she'd forgotten what it's like to "live in the outside world". The scene then cuts to a montage of typical postmodern malaise — a man (fish, rather) going to work, sitting in rush hour traffic, then gazing dejectedly out of his window as a woman asks if he's coming to bed. Depressing, hopeless, and completely nihilistic, this moment reminds viewers of their own mortality and the dangers of routine... or, if you're just a kid, you'll realize that being an adult can suck.SpongeBob Made the World a Better, More Optimistic Place
On Monday, SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg died after a recent diagnosis with ALS. Nickelodeon confirmed the news on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. What followed was an outpouring of grief for the man behind one of the most recognizable and beloved cartoon characters of all time. [...] Through his show, Hilleburg was an evangelist of sorts for the unstoppable power of positive thinking, which he usually dramatized with absurd scenarios. Think of the time SpongeBob sculpts a perfect marble sculpture with a crack of the chisel, or when he wins a fast foodery face-off against the Flying Dutchman—the undead daddy of burger grilling—with the special ingredient of love. SpongeBob tackles everything in life—work, driving school, friendship, pain, lifeguarding, climate change—with a level of zealous breeziness usually reserved zen monks and six-year-old kids.Memes Vox: How SpongeBob memes came to rule internet culture
It's hard to overstate just how popular SpongeBob SquarePants memes are. On Reddit, r/BikiniBottomTwitter — which exists mainly so that people can screencap the memes from Twitter and share them on Reddit — has more than 1.7 million subscribers, making it one of the site's most popular meme subreddits. (By comparison, the more general r/Spongebob subreddit only has 74,000 subscribers.) And SpongeBob memes don't just appear and then die; as Digg's editors noted in the site's 2018 SpongeBob retrospective, the biggest SpongeBob memes "are all pretty much meme superhits.

The threat actor’s modus operandi is as complex as its name — starting with gathering sensitive information, conducting cyber espionage, and compromising the security of its targets. They are adept at exploiting various platforms, from Windows to Android, often masquerading as legitimate government entities or organizations through fake websites and documents.
These deceptive maneuvers aim to deceive unsuspecting users into sharing credentials or unwittingly downloading malware onto their systems.

Moreover, TransparentTribe's reach spans across borders, with primary targets including India and Afghanistan, along with various other nations such as Australia, Japan, and the USA, among others. Their relentless pursuit of sensitive information knows no bounds, targeting sectors ranging from defense to education and governmental organizations.
[caption id="attachment_63902" align="alignnone" width="442"] Source: Cyble Vision[/caption]
Operating out of Pakistan, TransparentTribe poses a significant threat to national security, employing aliases like Green Havildar and APT-C-56. Suspected ties with other APT groups like SideCopy and SideWinder further underscore the complexity of the threat landscape.

The lifecycle of TransparentTribe's attacks involves multiple infection vectors, including phishing emails, malvertising, and social engineering. Their persistence is evident in the continuous monitoring of developments within targeted sectors, exploiting them as lures for their campaigns.
Windows, Linux, and Android systems alike fall prey to TransparentTribe's tactics, with tailored approaches for each platform. Exploiting vulnerabilities like CVE-2012-0158 and CVE-2010-3333, they deliver their payloads, including a diverse range of RATs like Crimson RAT, DarkComet, and QuasarRAT, each with its specific capabilities and functionalities.
Their network activities are intricate, utilizing well-crafted phishing URLs and registering domains on servers associated with Hostinger ASN. Moreover, the overlap in command and control (C&C) infrastructure and the use of platforms like Google Drive for hosting malware further complicate detection and mitigation efforts.

The information provided is for reference purposes only, and users bear full responsibility for their reliance on it. The Cyber Express assumes no liability for the accuracy or consequences of using this information.On the internet, people need to worry about more than just opening suspicious email attachments or entering their sensitive information into harmful websites—they also need to worry about their Google searches.
That’s because last year, as revealed in our 2024 ThreatDown State of Malware report, cybercriminals flocked to a malware delivery method that doesn’t require they know a victim’s email address, login credentials, personal information, or, anything, really.
Instead, cybercriminals just need to fool someone into clicking on a search result that looks remarkably legitimate.
This is the work of “malicious advertising,” or “malvertising,” for short. Malvertising is not malware itself. Instead, it’s a sneaky process of placing malware, viruses, or other cyber infections on a person’s computer, tablet, or smart phone. The malware that eventually slips onto a person’s device comes in many varieties, but cybercriminals tend to favor malware that can steal a person’s login credentials and information. With this newly stolen information, cybercriminals can then pry into sensitive online accounts that belong to the victim.
But before any of that digital theft can occur, cybercriminals must first ensnare a victim, and they do this by abusing the digital ad infrastructure underpinning Google search results.
Think about searching on Google for “running shoes”—you’ll likely see ads for Nike and Adidas. A Google search for “best carry-on luggage” will invariably produce ads for the consumer brands Monos and Away. And a Google search for a brand like Amazon will show, as expected, ads for Amazon.
But cybercriminals know this, and in response, they’ve created ads that look legitimate, but instead direct victims to malicious websites that carry malware. The websites themselves, too, bear a striking resemblance to whatever product or brand they’re imitating, so as to maintain a charade of legitimacy. From these websites, users download what they think is a valid piece of software, instead downloading malware that leaves them open to further attacks.
It’s true that malvertising is often understood as a risk to businesses, but the copycat websites that are created by cybercriminals can and often do impersonate popular brands for everyday users, too.
As revealed in our 2024 ThreatDown State of Malware report, the five most impersonated brands for malvertising last year included:
These five brands may not all carry the same familiarity, but their products and services capture a broad swath of user interest, from Weebly’s website creation products, to TradingView’s investment trading platform, to Rufus’s niche-but-useful portable OS booting tool.
If Google ads have been around for more than a decade, why are they only being abused by cybercriminals now? The truth is, malvertising has been around for years, but a particular resurgence was recorded more recently.
In 2022, cybercriminals lost access to one of their favorite methods of delivering malware.
That summer, Microsoft announced that it would finally block “macros” that were embedded into files that were downloaded from the internet. Macros are essentially instructions that users can program so that multiple tasks can be bundled together. The danger, though, is that cybercriminals would pre-program macros within certain files for Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, and then send those files as malicious email attachments. Once those attachments were downloaded and opened by users, the embedded macros would trigger a set of instructions directing a person’s computer to install malware from a dangerous website online.
Macros were a scourge for cybersecurity for years, as they were effective and easy to deliver.
But when Microsoft restricted macro capabilities in 2022, cybercriminals needed to find another malware delivery channel. They focused on malvertising.
Today’s malvertising is increasingly sophisticated, as cybercriminals can create and purchase online ads that target specific types of users based on location and demographics. Concerningly, modern malvertising can even avoid basic fraud detection as cybercriminals can create websites that determine whether a user is a real person or simply a bot that is trawling the web to find and flag malicious activity.
The threat of malvertising is multi-layered: There are the fraudulent ads that cybercriminals place on Google search results, the malicious websites that imitate legitimate brands and companies to convince users to download malware, and the malware infection itself.
As such, any successful defense strategy must be multi-layered.
For safe browsing, people can rely on Malwarebytes Browser Guard, a browser extension that blocks third-party tracking and flags malicious websites known to be in the control of cybercriminals. As we wrote before:
“Malwarebytes Browser Guard provides additional protection to standard ad-blocking features by covering a larger area of the attack chain all the way to domains controlled by attackers. Thanks to its built-in heuristic engine it can also proactively block never-before-seen malicious websites.”
The problem with malvertising, though, is that new malicious websites are created every single day. Cybersecurity defenders, then, are often caught in a game of catch-up.
Here, users can find safety from Malwarebytes Premium, which provides real-time protection to detect and stop any cyberthreats that get installed onto a device, even if those threats are masquerading as legitimate apps or software.

Are you looking for a new graphic design tool? Would you like to read a detailed review of Canva? As it's one of the tools I love using. I am also writing my first ebook using canva and publish it soon on my site you can download it is free. Let's start the review.
Canva has a web version and also a mobile app
Canva is a free graphic design web application that allows you to create invitations, business cards, flyers, lesson plans, banners, and more using professionally designed templates. You can upload your own photos from your computer or from Google Drive, and add them to Canva's templates using a simple drag-and-drop interface. It's like having a basic version of Photoshop that doesn't require Graphic designing knowledge to use. It’s best for nongraphic designers.
Canva is a great tool for small business owners, online entrepreneurs, and marketers who don’t have the time and want to edit quickly.
To create sophisticated graphics, a tool such as Photoshop can is ideal. To use it, you’ll need to learn its hundreds of features, get familiar with the software, and it’s best to have a good background in design, too.
Also running the latest version of Photoshop you need a high-end computer.
So here Canva takes place, with Canva you can do all that with drag-and-drop feature. It’s also easier to use and free. Also an even-more-affordable paid version is available for $12.95 per month.
The product is available in three plans: Free, Pro ($12.99/month per user or $119.99/year for up to 5 people), and Enterprise ($30 per user per month, minimum 25 people).

Next, you can choose a template. Choose from hundreds of templates that are ready to go, with customizable photos, text, and other elements.
You can start your design by choosing from a variety of ready-made templates, searching for a template matching your needs, or working with a blank template.
Inside the Canva designer, the Elements tab gives you access to lines and shapes, graphics, photos, videos, audio, charts, photo frames, and photo grids.The search box on the Elements tab lets you search everything on Canva.
To begin with, Canva has a large library of elements to choose from. To find them, be specific in your search query. You may also want to search in the following tabs to see various elements separately:
The Photos tab lets you search for and choose from millions of professional stock photos for your templates.
You can replace the photos in our templates to create a new look. This can also make the template more suited to your industry.
You can find photos on other stock photography sites like pexel, pixabay and many more or simply upload your own photos.
When you choose an image, Canva’s photo editing features let you adjust the photo’s settings (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.), crop, or animate it.
When you subscribe to Canva Pro, you get access to a number of premium features, including the Background Remover. This feature allows you to remove the background from any stock photo in library or any image you upload.
The Text tab lets you add headings, normal text, and graphical text to your design.
When you click on text, you'll see options to adjust the font, font size, color, format, spacing, and text effects (like shadows).
Canva Pro subscribers can choose from a large library of fonts on the Brand Kit or the Styles tab. Enterprise-level controls ensure that visual content remains on-brand, no matter how many people are working on it.
Create an animated image or video by adding audio to capture user’s attention in social news feeds.
If you want to use audio from another stock site or your own audio tracks, you can upload them in the Uploads tab or from the more option.
Want to create your own videos? Choose from thousands of stock video clips. You’ll find videos that range upto 2 minutes
You can upload your own videos as well as videos from other stock sites in the Uploads tab.
Once you have chosen a video, you can use the editing features in Canva to trim the video, flip it, and adjust its transparency.
On the Background tab, you’ll find free stock photos to serve as backgrounds on your designs. Change out the background on a template to give it a more personal touch.
The Styles tab lets you quickly change the look and feel of your template with just a click. And if you have a Canva Pro subscription, you can upload your brand’s custom colors and fonts to ensure designs stay on brand.
If you have a Canva Pro subscription, you’ll have a Logos tab. Here, you can upload variations of your brand logo to use throughout your designs.
With Canva, you can also create your own logos. Note that you cannot trademark a logo with stock content in it.
With Canva, free users can download and share designs to multiple platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Slack and Tumblr.
Canva Pro subscribers can create multiple post formats from one design. For example, you can start by designing an Instagram post, and Canva's Magic Resizer can resize it for other networks, Stories, Reels, and other formats.

In addition to mobile apps, you can use Canva’s integration with other Internet services to add images and text from sources like Google Maps, Emojis, photos from Google Drive and Dropbox, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Bitmojis, and other popular visual content elements.
In general, Canva is an excellent tool for those who need simple images for projects. If you are a graphic designer with experience, you will find Canva’s platform lacking in customization and advanced features – particularly vectors. But if you have little design experience, you will find Canva easier to use than advanced graphic design tools like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for most projects. If you have any queries let me know in the comments section.
