Microsoft quietly bolstered Copilot’s document smarts this week, enabling multi-file analysis that lets the assistant reason across multiple uploads in a single request rather than treating each file in isolation — a ChatGPT-style capability now visible in the Copilot web and Windows 11 app and...

Microsoft Edge's experimental Scareware Blocker is graduating from a single-user popup interrupter to a broader, system-strengthening feature that can block scam sites and — in the Canary channel — optionally share detected scam links and classifications with Microsoft’s Defender SmartScreen...

Chromium security teams patched a critical use‑after‑free vulnerability in the ANGLE graphics translation layer tracked as CVE‑2025‑9478, and every Windows and enterprise administrator who manages Chromium‑based browsers — including Microsoft Edge — should verify and deploy the fixes immediately...

Microsoft’s push to fold OpenAI’s latest models into Windows and Office has hardened an uncomfortable choice for many users: do you pick the deeply integrated productivity assistant (Microsoft Copilot) that lives inside Word, Excel, Outlook and the Windows taskbar, or the more general-purpose...

Microsoft’s official support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025 — and that deadline turns a decade-old, still‑widely used operating system into a growing security liability unless you act now. 10 has been a workhorse for hundreds of millions of PCs, but when Microsoft stops shipping...

The Indian government’s cybersecurity arm has issued a high-severity alert advising organisations and individuals to urgently address a batch of patched—but still dangerous—vulnerabilities across multiple Microsoft products, including Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Windows Server storage...

Anthropic’s new Chrome extension quietly signals the next phase of enterprise AI: assistants that don’t just answer questions but act inside your browser — clicking, filling, and navigating like a human. The company has begun a controlled pilot of Claude for Chrome, inviting 1,000 paying...

0patch’s decision to “security-adopt” Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 2019 — and to package that commitment into new paid plans — reshapes the post‑end‑of‑support landscape for millions of users who either can’t or won’t migrate to Microsoft 365 or Windows 11 before Microsoft’s October 14, 2025...

Google’s quiet change to Chrome’s security documentation — adding an explicit AI Features section to the Chrome Security FAQ — is a small, technical edit with outsized implications for how browser vendors will treat generative AI moving forward. The new guidance makes a clear, pragmatic...

Microsoft’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 was supposed to make AI agents safer to run at enterprise scale; instead, recent reports show a control-plane failure that left some agents discoverable and installable despite tenant-level policy locks—forcing administrators into time-consuming, per-agent...

CISA’s August 25 alert that it has added three new flaws to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog should be treated as a red alert for IT teams: two significant issues in Citrix Session Recording (CVE-2024-8068 and CVE-2024-8069) and a client-side Git link-following vulnerability...

Microsoft’s Copilot agent governance has slid into the spotlight after multiple, independent reports found that tenant-level policies intended to prevent user access to AI agents were not reliably enforced — a misconfiguration and control-plane gap that left some Copilot Agents discoverable or...

Microsoft has quietly begun testing a conversational, meaning‑aware file and image search inside the Copilot app on Windows 11, a change that lets you describe what you’re looking for instead of hunting for exact filenames — and it’s arriving first to Copilot+ PCs as a staged Windows Insider...

Microsoft quietly patched a vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot that allowed the assistant to read and summarize enterprise files without producing the expected Purview audit entry — a gap that, if exploited, could let insiders or attackers extract sensitive data while leaving no trace in...

A high-severity memory-corruption flaw in Chromium’s V8 JavaScript engine, tracked as CVE-2025-9132, has been patched in the Chrome 139 stable update; the vulnerability is an out‑of‑bounds write that can lead to heap corruption and, in the worst case, remote code execution when a user visits a...
