Google is so sneaky. This prompt inside Gmail gives you three options. The two most visible options (number 1 is 'Try it now' and number 2 is 'Continue') basically mean 'Enable Gemini AI to write emails.' The third option cancels it which is hidden well.

🛑 It’s official: Cybersecurity CVE funding has expired.

The U.S. government let MITRE’s contract lapse — and with it, the core of our global cybersecurity vulnerability tracking ecosystem.

This means:
📛 No new CVE IDs
🧩 Disruptions across patch workflows
🔄 Coordination breakdowns for defenders worldwide
⚠️ Increased time-to-response across industries

Every org that relies on coordinated disclosure is now flying with one engine. This isn’t a future risk — it’s a present emergency.

In a win for privacy rights, the court agrees.

It said it didn't accept “that the revelation of the bare details of the case would be damaging to the public interest or prejudicial to national security”.
