Apple to Launch AI Chatbot Campos to Replace Siri

Apple Inc. plans to revamp Siri later this year by transforming the digital assistant into its first artificial intelligence chatbot, code-named Campos, as it seeks to compete in the generative AI market currently led by OpenAI and Google. The new chatbot will be deeply integrated into iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems, replacing the existing Siri interface, and will be activated using the same voice command or side button as before. The rollout will occur in stages, with an initial version expected in spring 2026 and the more advanced Campos chatbot slated for fall 2026.

Phishing Campaign Targets Executives via LinkedIn Messages

ReliaQuest has reported a phishing campaign that exploits LinkedIn private messages to distribute a malicious archive, targeting high-value individuals in corporate environments. The campaign employs a novel tactic involving an open-source Python penetration-testing script, which is executed after the victim downloads a self-extracting archive disguised as a legitimate PDF reader. This incident highlights a shift in phishing strategies, as attackers increasingly utilize social media and messaging platforms, areas often overlooked in organizational security measures.
