What happened
A set of Google Security Blog updates (April 2026) focused on emerging application-layer and platform security risks and mitigations. Google Threat Intelligence flagged Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) as a top emerging attack vector for LLMs and published results from a broad web sweep and follow-on mitigations; Google Workspace (with Gemini) is being hardened continuously against IPI via layered defenses. Other posts describe practical platform defenses: Device-Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) to proactively prevent cookie/session theft by malware, adoption of Rust for a memory-safe DNSparser
