What happened
A collection of Google security blog posts covering multiple defensive advances: Pixel modem hardening by integrating a memory-safe Rust DNS parser to reduce memory-safety vulnerabilities in baseband firmware; Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) rollout in Chrome to prevent stolen cookies from being usable by attackers; ongoing defenses and detection improvements for indirect prompt injection (IPI) against LLM-based systems; a Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP) year-in-review; Android platform adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) starting in Android 17 and ecosystem work on quantum
