July 2026 Patch Tuesday was record-setting in so many ways. The sheer volume of security patches for almost every product in the Microsoft portfolio was the highest ever and, of course, well over 600 CVEs were identified in the Security Updates Guide. Interestingly, only two CVEs were reported as exploited zero-days and only one as publicly disclosed, but we’ll get back to that later in this article. There were 405 CVEs reported against Windows 11 … More → The post August 2026 Patch Tuesday forecast: How do we deal with the patch apocalypse? appeared first on Help Net Security.

Every month for the better part of a year, about 4,800 US internet addresses answered a query in the protocol that fuel tank gauges speak. In June the number was 2,354. The count fell across April, May, and June, all three months sit below the previous year’s floor, and the decline holds up against checks for address churn and port hopping. Exposure figures rarely move this way, and almost never this fast. U.S. ATG protocol … More → The post US fuel gauge exposure fell by more than half in three months appeared first on Help Net Security.

ShieldFont fights AI scraping by handing crawlers the wrong words

Isaque Seneda and Gabriel Abrucio built a web font that draws one set of words on screen and leaves a different set in the page’s source code. A person reading in a browser sees the writing as written. A scraper pulling the HTML gets different words in the same grammar, at the same URL, off the same bytes. ShieldFont started in October 2025 with support from the type foundry Playtype. The site that deploys it … More → The post ShieldFont fights AI scraping by handing crawlers the wrong words appeared first on Help Net Security.

Gut feeling does nothing against AI spear phishing texts

A banker at a credit union sat down at a table with a dozen printed text messages, all of them written for that banker personally, and put them in order from the one most likely to get a click down to the one least likely. One of them stopped the sorting. It looked like something the bank sends out: “alert literally looks like the alert we get [at work] when there’s a fraud.” Half the … More → The post Gut feeling does nothing against AI spear phishing texts appeared first on Help Net Security.
