What happened

This batch of Google security posts describes multiple platform defenses and proactive mitigations: Pixel 10 integrates a memory-safe Rust DNS parser into the modem/baseband firmware to reduce memory-safety vulnerabilities and expand Rust usage in low-level code; Chrome is rolling out Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) (publicly available on Windows Chrome 146, coming to macOS) to prevent exfiltrated session cookies from being reused by attackers; Google Workspace teams describe continuous defenses against indirect prompt injection (IPI) targeting LLMs and multi-source AI apps; Google’s V
