PCWorld reports that Have I Been Pwned added 56 million email addresses and 124 million passwords from infostealer malware targeting Windows PCs. These credentials were stolen directly from infected devices rather than corporate breaches, with users often unaware of the ongoing data theft. Immediate password changes, two-factor authentication, and unique passwords for each service are essential to protect against these prevalent cybercriminal tools. The data breach notification service Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) has added a large number of compromised login credentials to its database. In total, 56.3 million email addresses and 124 million passwords have been added. What makes this dataset notable is its origin. Unlike many previous entries, it does not stem from a single cyberattack on an online service. Instead, HIBP says the information was extracted directly from infected computers and devices.

Microsoft Edge has eliminated its Master Password feature, now requiring Windows Hello biometric authentication (fingerprint, face, or PIN) to access saved passwords. PCWorld reports this change, implemented June 4th, 2026, represents Microsoft's broader shift toward passwordless security and passkey adoption. Windows Hello provides enhanced protection by linking authentication to the physical device rather than relying on traditional master passwords. Microsoft has made a major change to its Edge browser, removing support for the so-called Master Password feature. The Master Password (also known as the Custom Primary Password) was a single "master password" that you had to enter before using password manager features like auto-fill and showing saved login credentials.

Yarbo robot mowers reportedly contain serious security flaws that could expose owners to remote access, live camera viewing and Wi-Fi credential theft, a new report says.

World Password Day is the perfect time to update old or reused passwords. Credential stuffing attacks make even one weak password a risk to multiple accounts.

To determine the safety of large language models (LLMs), AI developers must be able to assess their dangerous capabilities. But simple prompting strategies often fail to elicit an LLM's full capabilities. One way to elicit capabilities more robustly is to fine-tune the LLM to complete the task. In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which fine-tuning-based elicitation suffices to elicit capabilities. To do this, we introduce password-locked models, LLMs fine-tuned such that some of their capabilities are deliberately hidden.
