What happened
Collection of Google Security Blog posts (Mar–Apr 2026) covering active AI and platform threats and mitigations. Key points: Google Threat Intelligence finds Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) a prioritized, real-world attack vector and reports a web-wide sweep to detect IPI patterns; Google Workspace/Gemini defenses are being continuously improved for IPI resistance. Chrome/Account teams announced Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) rolling out to Chrome 146 on Windows (macOS soon)—a proactive mitigation that makes exfiltrated cookies unusable and defends against infostealers (e.g., LummaC2)
