Is your password manager truly GDPR compliant?

Passwords sit at the core of every critical system, but many organizations still overlook how fragile their password workflows can be. When something goes wrong, security teams rush to uncover who had access, how those passwords were stored and whether sensitive data was exposed. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) amplifies this pressure because it demands strong protection for personal information at every stage of its life cycle. A password manager that falls short can … More → The post Is your password manager truly GDPR compliant? appeared first on Help Net Security.

Google Play Store’s privacy practices still confuse Android users

Privacy rules like GDPR and CCPA are meant to help app stores be clearer about how apps use your data. But in the Google Play Store, those privacy sections often leave people scratching their heads. A new study looks at how users read these parts of an app listing and how their reactions affect the risks they believe they are taking. The study setup The researchers built a controlled web environment that mimicked the Google … More → The post Google Play Store’s privacy practices still confuse Android users appeared first on Help Net Security.

BlueCodeAgent helps developers secure AI-generated code

When AI models generate code, they deliver power and risk at the same time for security teams. That tension is at the heart of the new tool called BlueCodeAgent, designed to help developers and security engineers defend against code-generation threats. Why code generation raises concern LLMs are increasingly used in software development for tasks like generating functions, scripts and APIs. But these systems can expose an organization to new risks. A Microsoft blog post explains … More → The post BlueCodeAgent helps developers secure AI-generated code appeared first on Help Net Security.

The confidence trap holding security back

Security leaders often feel prepared for a major cyber incident, but performance data shows a different reality. Teams continue to miss key steps during practice scenarios, and the gap between confidence and capability keeps growing. Findings from Immersive’s Cyber Workforce Benchmark Report show the habits that hold readiness back and the areas security leaders must address to make progress. Confidence keeps rising while capability stalls Most organizations now describe their readiness programs as mature. Boards … More → The post The confidence trap holding security back appeared first on Help Net Security.

Quantum computers just simulated physics too complex for supercomputers

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical computers cannot handle. The achievement demonstrates a new path toward simulating particle collisions and extreme forms of matter. It may ultimately illuminate long-standing cosmic mysteries.

Nanoscale trick makes “dark excitons” glow 300,000 times stronger

Researchers have found a way to make “dark excitons”—normally invisible quantum states of light—shine dramatically brighter by trapping them inside a tiny gold-nanotube optical cavity. This breakthrough boosts their emission 300,000-fold and allows scientists to switch and tune them with unprecedented precision. The work unlocks new possibilities for ultrafast photonics, on-chip quantum communication, and exploring previously unreachable quantum states in 2D materials.

When IT fails, OT pays the price

State groups, criminal crews, and hybrid operators are all using familiar IT entry points to reach systems that support industrial processes, according to the latest Operational Technology Threat Report from Trellix. The report covers attacks observed from April through September 2025 and describes a pattern of coordinated activity that blends espionage, criminal extortion, and cyber operations linked to geopolitical conflict. A concentrated target landscape Manufacturing accounted for 41.5% of detections, and transportation and shipping accounted … More → The post When IT fails, OT pays the price appeared first on Help Net Security.
