What happened
A set of Google security blog posts (Mar–Apr 2026) covering multiple high-impact initiatives: Pixel 10 integrates a memory-safe Rust DNS parser into the cellular modem to mitigate broad classes of memory-safety vulnerabilities and reduce RCE risk in basebands; Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) are rolling out to Windows Chrome 146 (macOS soon) to prevent reuse of exfiltrated cookies; Google Workspace is improving defenses against indirect prompt injection in LLM-driven apps; Android is beginning deployment of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) enhancements in Android 17 beta and Chrome is推进
