Timeshare exit scams: From fake buyers to recovery scams (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Timeshares don’t have the best reputation in the world. But many consumers still invest in them. Estimates suggest the global marketplace was worth nearly $20 billion in 2025, and could exceed $38 billion by 2034. Yet many holidaymakers eventually want out, whether because of rising maintenance fees, life changes, or concerns over long-term liabilities. If you want out, there are several legitimate exit paths. You could contact your developer to see if there are surrender or give-back schemes. O
Is that new (vibe coded) app safe? 5 questions to ask first (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI platforms are transforming many industries. But perhaps none more so than software development. “Vibe coding” was only coined as a term in February 2025. Yet just a few months later, one report suggested 84% of developers were using or planning to use AI tools for work. On paper, it’s obvious why they are doing so.

They use AI-powered deepfake technology to change an image of a clothed person to one that appears as if they’re naked, by simulating anatomical features. But let’s be clear, just because the image isn’t technically real, it doesn’t mean that the intent behind it can be brushed aside. Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) is often weaponized by fraudsters, b
Cyberthreats are moving faster than SMBs: Readiness must accelerate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The cyberthreat landscape has been evolving for years. But there’s a sense today that things are escalating more rapidly than before. That’s largely the result of AI. The technology is not only arming threat actors with the means to launch more sophisticated attacks at greater speed and scale than before. It is also providing them with a larger attack surface to aim at, as businesses rush to adopt the technology. In many cases, that adoption is outpacing the vital governance efforts needed to se
