SCOOP: A hacktivist has scraped more than half a million payment records from a company that makes consumer-grade spyware and other phone tracking apps, exposing customers' email addresses and partial card numbers.

New academic research has found that Chrome's new MV3 extension API is not that bad after all "Ad blocker providers appear to have successfully navigated the MV3 update, finding solutions that maintain the core functionality of their extensions" petsymposium.org/popets/2026/...
