Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the technology shaping our world.
A security vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat's Chrome extension has put more than three hundred fourteen million users at risk. Researchers at Guardio Labs discovered the flaw could allow attackers to access private WhatsApp Web conversations simply by luring victims to a malicious webpage. Adobe has issued a patch in version twenty six point seven point two point zero, and users are strongly advised to update now.
Turning to another security concern making waves in enterprise circles, researchers at Zenity Labs have revealed a vulnerability in OpenAI's ChatGPT workspace platform they're calling AgentForger. A single crafted link could silently install an attacker-controlled AI agent inside a company's workspace, capable of being configured, published, and even scheduled without the victim's knowledge. It's a sobering reminder that as AI tools embed deeper into business infrastructure, the attack surface grows with them.
And on the question of who's footing the bill for that infrastructure, new reporting from Reuters highlights growing concern over Alphabet's cash burn as artificial intelligence spending continues to climb. The broader worry is that Big Tech's aggressive AI investment cycle may be outpacing returns, raising questions about sustainability across the industry. It's a financial reckoning that analysts say is only just beginning.
Stay skeptical, stay updated. Tech Beat out.
