What happened
A set of Google security posts covering multiple proactive defenses and platform hardening initiatives: Google integrated a memory-safe Rust DNS parser into Pixel modem firmware to reduce memory-safety vulnerabilities in a high-risk, remote-exposed component; Chrome announced Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) going public on Windows (Chrome 146) and coming to macOS to prevent stolen cookies from being usable by attackers; Google Workspace/GenAI teams described continuous defenses against indirect prompt injection (IPI) targeting LLMs and multi-source applications; the Vulnerability Rewar
