Microsoft Scout: OpenClaw-Powered Personal AI for Microsoft 365

Microsoft is previewing Scout, an always-on personal AI assistant built on OpenClaw that integrates with Microsoft 365 apps to manage calendars, emails, travel, and tasks. It reads Teams and email to surface what matters, can suggest optimal travel times, and is designed to run in the cloud with a desktop Frontier preview in the US before broader rollout, backed by security measures like sandboxing, Defender, and privacy reviews. Microsoft is contributing to the OpenClaw core rather than shipping a separate product, while Google pursues Gemini Spark to connect with Workspace apps, signaling a new enterprise AI race.

Surface Laptop for Business 8th Edition review: privacy-first design meets rugged security, but at a steep price

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop for Business 8th Edition blends a built-in privacy screen and enterprise‑grade security with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 power and a strong keyboard/touchpad, but it starts at $1,949 and delivers around eight hours of real-world battery life—a RAM-crisis premium that may deter budget buyers. The privacy screen cannot pair with 5G variants, Snapdragon ARM models are expected later, and the device is clearly aimed at corporate/government use with top‑tier security, repairability, and performance for demanding workloads.

Windows tightens RDP file use to block phishing-prone connections

Microsoft’s April 2026 updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11 add protections to curb phishing by malicious Remote Desktop (.rdp) files: first-open triggers educate users, and subsequent attempts show a security dialog listing the file’s publisher status, remote address, and local resource redirects with all options off by default. If unsigned, a caution label appears; if signed, the publisher is shown but verification is still encouraged. These protections apply only to opening RDP files, not to connections via the Windows Remote Desktop client, and can be temporarily disabled via a registry setting by admins. Microsoft urges keeping the safeguards enabled, noting that attackers have used rogue RDP files in campaigns (e.g., APT29) to steal data, credentials, or even clipboard contents and smart-card authentication.

Interlock ransomware weaponizes Cisco FMC zero-day in pre-patch campaign

Interlock has exploited a maximum-severity remote-code-execution zero-day in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (CVE-2026-20131) since Jan 26, 2026, gaining unauthenticated root access on unpatched devices; Cisco issued a patch on March 4, and Amazon’s threat intel says the attacks ran about 36 days before disclosure. The group has a history of high-profile attacks (including NodeSnake on UK universities) and researchers note a new Slopoly malware strain associated with the operation.

Coordinated Chrome extensions harvest enterprise login cookies from Workday, NetSuite, and SAP SuccessFactors

Security researchers found five malicious Chrome extensions posing as productivity/security tools for enterprise HR/ERP platforms (Workday, NetSuite, SAP SuccessFactors) that exfiltrate authentication cookies, block security administration pages, and, in one case, inject cookies to hijack active sessions. The campaign, linked by shared infrastructure and targeting patterns, had about 2,300 installations. Extensions were taken down after disclosure; affected users should notify security admins and rotate passwords on the targeted platforms.

"Amazon Introduces Palm-Scanning Tech for Office Access Control"

Amazon is introducing Amazon One Enterprise, a palm-scanning technology designed for businesses, allowing employees to use their hand as an authentication tool to enter offices or access sensitive information. The service is being offered to companies such as IHG Hotels and Resorts, Boon Edam, and Kone. Amazon claims that palm recognition is more private than other biometric systems and offers a cheaper and more secure solution compared to traditional security tools. However, advocacy groups have raised concerns about privacy and increased surveillance. Amazon One was originally developed as a payment system and has been deployed in various retail locations.

"ChromeOS Boosts Privacy with Camera and Mic Toggles for Chromebooks"

Google is introducing new systemwide camera and microphone access toggles in ChromeOS settings that can instantly block all apps and sites from being able to use them. The new privacy controls cut off the rest of the computer’s access to the hardware, which is a software replacement to the physical camera and mic kill switch. Chromebook manufacturers can simplify the laptop design and use the built-in ChromeOS solution instead. Google is also expanding enterprise and business-oriented security features that include new identity and data control features that help IT departments manage user logins and help keep sensitive information from inadvertently traveling around and outside organizations.

Corporate Secrets Exposed Through Secondhand Routers

Researchers from ESET have found that less than half of secondhand enterprise routers in their sample were wiped of internal data, posing a risk for both the companies that sold these routers and their customers. Out of the 18 corporate routers that the researcher team purchased secondhand, only five had been wiped. Nine of the routers had been left as is, two were encrypted, one was dead, and one was a copy of another device. The nine devices that hadn’t been wiped had enough information stored on them to identify the previous owners, and also login information for the organizations’ VPN, credentials for a communication service, and hashed root administrator passwords.
