A video ad showing a famous actor, singer, or public official promising quick profits from an investment platform should be treated as fraud until proven otherwise. Spain’s CNMV is blunt: using well-known figures with easy-money promises is an “unequivocal sign” of financial fraud. TechNews DevTop breaks down how the scheme works, how to verify a … Read more
WhatsApp chats may feel as if they live inside the app, but the history sits on the phone—and the backup lands in Google on Android or iCloud on iPhone. As of October 2026, WhatsApp is also testing its own cloud storage, a third path not yet universally available. Because WhatsApp does not store chat history … Read more
A notification that an unknown AirTag is traveling with you can be innocent—a partner’s keys in your bag—or a serious warning. iPhones and Android devices now alert users when a Bluetooth tracker separated from its owner moves with them, and both platforms can play a sound, identify the device and disable it. Order matters: documenting … Read more
TechNews DevTop — Reasoning models are now a default setting across major AI platforms, but the label hides a commercial trade-off. Before answering, these systems generate internal reasoning tokens: an invisible draft that helps with code debugging, planning, math and long-document analysis. That draft is billed, occupies context and adds latency. The practical question is … Read more
Emergency satellite messaging is no longer limited to rugged specialist devices. In Spain, owners of an iPhone 14 or later and a Google Pixel 9 or later—except the Pixel 9a—can send text messages to emergency services over satellite when cellular and Wi-Fi coverage fail. It is not a voice call or a normal chat. It … Read more
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are converging on an unglamorous prompting playbook: state the job clearly, supply missing context, show the pattern you want, define the output and split complicated work. For users who have watched a chatbot nail one request and fumble the next, that agreement matters more than another list of “100 prompts that … Read more
Microsoft has secured a court order in Florida to seize and redirect domains belonging to YAM Store, an underground marketplace that sold compromised Microsoft 365 and Google environments along with the phishing kits built on top of them. The Digital Crimes Unit announced the action on October 14, describing infrastructure tied to more than 1 … Read more
Pasting a rental contract, electricity bill or lab report into a chatbot is tempting: it decodes the jargon in seconds. The catch is everything that travels with the document. Spain’s Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) captured the risk in its January 2026 decalogue: “Be careful what you entrust to it.” Strip identifiers first: … Read more
A stolen handset is replaceable hardware. The bank apps, email inbox and messaging accounts sitting behind its lock screen are not. That is why the first sixty minutes after a theft should follow a fixed sequence rather than panic: lock the device, cut the SIM, secure the money and the accounts, and only then file … Read more
AI agents that browse, click, fill forms and buy now inherit their owners’ logged-in sessions. That convenience creates an unresolved security problem: prompt injection, where hidden text in a webpage, email, document or image is read as an instruction. The result is an attack surface inside the bank, inbox and cart. OWASP ranks it first: … Read more
