Europe on Alert Over Suspected Sabotage of Undersea Cables

European nations have heightened security after a series of suspected sabotage attacks on submarine infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, with officials increasingly pointing to Russia as the likely culprit. Finnish authorities detained the tanker Eagle S in December after it allegedly damaged three undersea fiber-optic connections with Estonia and one with Germany. The vessel, carrying Russian oil as part of a “shadow fleet” evading sanctions, made suspicious course changes while crossing cable routes. In November, two more submarine cables in the Baltic were damaged, with investigations focusing on Chinese-owned cargo ship Yi Peng 3, which reduced speed near the cables

You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results

Google has become so integral to online navigation that its name became a verb, meaning “to find things on the Internet.” Soon, Google might just tell you what’s on the Internet instead of showing you. The company has announced an expansion of its AI search features, powered by Gemini 2.0.

This version of Google won’t show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode.

Broadcom urges VMware customers to patch ’emergency’ zero-day bugs under active exploitation

U.S. technology giant Broadcom is warning that a trio of VMware vulnerabilities are being actively exploited by malicious hackers to compromise the networks of its corporate customers.  The three vulnerabilities — collectively dubbed “ESXicape” by one security researcher — affect VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion, which are widely-used software hypervisor products that allow multiple virtual machines to be managed on a single server.
