What happened

ZDNet aggregated consumer-tech coverage including home networking and device tips, VPN recommendations, and IoT warnings. Most security-relevant: a Canvas LMS ransomware/data-breach story — the threat actor claims ~275 million records stolen affecting students, teachers and staff, and ZDNet published guidance on six immediate steps to take. Other privacy/security-adjacent items: VPN buying guide, warnings about smart plugs and device safety, and advice for account/app troubleshooting (Roku, Sonos, Microsoft 365).
