Google data show 40% of Android phones may be exposed — check your security update now

Over 40% of Android phones surveyed in Google's newest distribution report still run Android 12 or earlier—versions that no longer get security patches, the critical updates that close vulnerabilities, according to PhoneArena. The data also shows 57.9% of devices operating on Android 13 or newer, with Android 16 installed on 7.5% and Android 15 dominating at 19.3%. This matters now since phones serve as gateways to bank accounts, work logins, and private conversations. Malware and spyware—programs designed to steal data or spy on devices—can cause harm quickly if a phone isn’t patched.

China’s OpenClaw alarm: Beijing flags hack risks as the viral AI agent spreads

Beijing, Feb 5, 2026, 21:25 China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a warning Thursday about the fast-growing OpenClaw open-source AI agent, highlighting serious security risks if it’s misconfigured. Poor setups could expose users to cyberattacks and data breaches. The ministry stopped short of banning OpenClaw but urged organizations to review their public network exposure and strengthen identity authentication and access controls. Since its November launch, OpenClaw’s popularity has surged, prompting Chinese cloud giants like Alibaba’s Alicloud, Tencent Cloud, and Baidu to offer remote hosting services instead of running it locally.

Notepad++ hit by months-long update hijack blamed on China-linked hackers — what users need to know

Notepad++ revealed on Monday that its software update process was compromised last year, allowing attackers to push malicious downloads to a limited group of users. Researchers have tied the campaign to hackers linked to the Chinese government. The open-source text editor enjoys broad use on Windows PCs, especially within corporate environments. When software updates are compromised—a supply-chain attack where hackers exploit a trusted distribution channel—it provides a stealthy entry point for attackers into networks.

Viral Moltbook Leak: Wiz Finds Exposed Messages and Credentials

On Monday, cybersecurity firm Wiz revealed that Moltbook, a new social network designed as a hub for AI agents, had a security flaw exposing private data from thousands of real users—including email addresses and a significant stash of credentials. Ami Luttwak, Wiz’s cofounder, said the problem was patched after they informed Moltbook, blaming it on “vibe coding,” where rapid development leads to neglecting basic security measures. Wiz, soon to be acquired by Alphabet, added that the flaw also meant “There was no verification of identity,” so anyone could post, whether bot or human. Moltbook has exploded online since its launch last week, reportedly attracting over 1.5 million AI agents by Monday. The site resembles Reddit, featuring topic forums and upvoting,

Bumble and Match Cyberattacks Spread to Panera, Crunchbase as ShinyHunters Claims Data Hauls

Bumble and Match Group were targeted by cyberattacks this week, along with Panera Bread and Crunchbase, Bloomberg News reported, as cited by Reuters. Panera confirmed the breach, stating in an email to Reuters that “The data involved is contact information.” This cluster is significant because it fits right into a familiar extortion pattern: infiltrate systems, steal data, then slowly leak it online to demand ransom. Security experts have connected these latest leaks to ShinyHunters, a group notorious for releasing data samples and ramping up pressure if targets resist paying up.
