Google Gemini is testing a ChatGPT-like scheduled tasks feature called “Scheduled Actions,” which will allow you to automate tasks. As spotted by ʟᴇɢɪᴛ on X, Google is integrating a new feature called “Scheduled Actions” into Gemini’s web interface. While it’s unclear how the feature will work, BleepingComputer understands that it will be similar to ChatGPT’s integration. Gemini Scheduled Actions on the web Once available, you’ll be able to create a task that will be triggered at a specific time, and these tasks will be performed automatically. This means a task will execute even when the user is offline. But what…

Joff Thyer // Introduction If there is anything that the start of 2020 has taught us, it is that Internetworking services are in higher demand than ever before.  IPv4 is exhausted, and by that I mean there is none, it is tired, worn out, overused, abused, and beyond its end of life.  Besides our heroic attempts at variable-length subnetting which placed an enormous burden on enterprise routers, and exponentially grew the global route table, we still ran out of addresses.   Network Address Translation is equally overused and abused.  It is not and never was intended to be a security technology.…

Rebel Global Security, in collaboration with the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA), conducted an industry pulse check to assess current strategies, identify gaps, and uncover opportunities across the sector. In the face of a growing and complex threat landscape, the report examines how U.S. natural gas companies are responding to evolving national security and geopolitical risks. The study found that natural gas companies consider national security and geopolitical issues to be critically or very important. Among these issues, particular concern was given about cyber-attacks, supply chain risks and disruptions, and U.S. national security policy. In today’s volatile geopolitical…

Toggling your VPN connection should be quick and simple. No one wants to dig through settings menus every time they need to connect or disconnect from their VPN. This guide shows you how to add VPN controls to your device’s Control Center (iOS), making your online privacy just a swipe away. Why add VPN controls to Control Center/quick settings? Having your VPN controls easily accessible means you’re more likely to actually use your VPN consistently. Maintaining online privacy becomes second nature when protection is just a quick tap away. Save time by avoiding multiple menu taps to reach VPN settings.…

Just three months into the Trump administration’s promised crackdown on immigration to the United States, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement now has a $30 million contract with Palantir to build a “near-real time” surveillance platform called ImmigrationOS that would track information about people self-deporting (electing to leave the US). Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has been sending aggressive emails telling people with temporary legal status to leave the US. It is unclear who has actually been sent the messages, though, given that a number of people who are US-born citizens have reported receiving them.The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency…

Rise in accessible AI tools significantly lowered the barrier to entry for cyber attackers, enabling them to create and deploy malicious bots at scale, according to Thales. Automated bot traffic surpassed human-generated traffic for the first time in a decade, constituting 51% of all web traffic in 2024. This shift is largely attributed to the rise of AI and LLMs, which have simplified the creation and scaling of bots for malicious purposes. As AI tools become more accessible, cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging these technologies to create and deploy malicious bots which now account for 37% of all internet traffic –…

Jordan Drysdale // Many methodologies have been written, but the first few hours on an internal pentest tell the story of an organization’s security culture. This type of test differs from an assumed compromise or pivot in that the tester walks into the network fully armed. requirements.txt Nmap: https://nmap.org/  Responder: https://github.com/lgandx/Responder  Impacket: https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/Impacket  CrackMapExec: https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec  LDAPDomainDump: https://github.com/dirkjanm/ldapdomaindump  BloodHound: https://github.com/BloodHoundAD/BloodHound  ADExplorer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/adexplorer  OffSec’s ExploitDB: https://github.com/offensive-security/exploitdb  SIET: https://github.com/Sab0tag3d/SIET/  defenses.txt Microsoft’s Baseline Audit Configuration: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/plan/security-best-practices/audit-policy-recommendations Sysmon: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon Sysmon-modular config: https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular Killing LLMNR: https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/how-to-disable-llmnr-why-you-want-to/  README.md It is 7:15 AM local timezone.

In February 2025, a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-13059 was disclosed in AnythingLLM, an open-source framework for building self-hosted AI assistants. This flaw affects versions prior to 1.3.1 and arises from improper handling of non-ASCII filenames in the multer library, leading to a path traversal vulnerability. Attackers with manager or admin roles can exploit this to write files to arbitrary locations on the server, potentially resulting in remote code execution.​ CVE ID: CVE-2024-13059 Severity: Critical CVSS Score: 9.1 EPSS Score: 0.04% Published: February 10, 2025 Affected Versions: AnythingLLM < 1.3.1 Patched Version: 1.3.1 The vulnerability stems from how AnythingLLM handles file…

The traditional “castle-and-moat” model of cybersecurity is outdated. Firewalls, endpoint protection and segmentation are all still important. But if you think they’re enough to stop today’s threats, think again. From where I sit, the biggest risks aren’t storming the gates. They’re already inside. Attackers no longer need to batter down digital walls when they can simply bypass them. Credential theft, misuse of legitimate tools, and third-party compromises are now the most common pathways into an environment. The defenders who still think in terms of “keeping the bad guys out” are missing the reality: the bad guys are already in and…
