What happened
This collection of Google Security Blog posts describes multiple proactive security initiatives across Google products: Pixel 10 integrates a memory-safe Rust DNS parser into the modem firmware to mitigate whole classes of memory-safety vulnerabilities in the baseband; Chrome is rolling out Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) (public on Windows in Chrome 146, macOS coming) to prevent stolen cookies from being usable by attackers; Google Workspace is adopting continuous defenses against indirect prompt injection (IPI) targeting LLM-driven apps and data sources; the Vulnerability Rewards (VR
