Chrome Gets Urgent Patch for Two In-The-Wild Zero-Days

Google released emergency Chrome updates to fix two high-severity zero-days actively exploited in the wild: CVE-2026-3909 (an out-of-bounds write in Skia) and CVE-2026-3910 (an issue in the V8 engine). Patches rolled out to Windows (146.0.7680.75), macOS (146.0.7680.76), and Linux (146.0.7680.75) in the Stable channel, with automatic updates available. Google says exploits exist in the wild but will keep bug details restricted until most users are updated. These are the second and third Chrome zero-days exploited in 2026; Google previously fixed CVE-2026-2441 in February, and it paid over $17 million to 747 researchers through its VRP in 2025.

From salvage to value: Australia’s cheapest V8 Mustang flips in a week

YouTuber Matty Willo buys the cheapest V8 2016 Ford Mustang GT (with only ~34k miles) at a Pickles salvage auction in Australia for AUD 20,000 after fees. Despite front-end damage, the frame was straight, and he replaced OEM parts (radiator support, bumper, grille, etc.) for about AUD 2,500, bringing total investment to ~AUD 26,000. With the 5.0L Coyote V8 and manual transmission, the car is a strong bargain since similar V8 Mustangs in Australia command higher prices, effectively turning a salvage purchase into a valuable flip in just a week.

"Surprising Affordability: The Easy Part of Owning a Ferrari F136 V8"

Ferrari-made V8 engines, specifically the F136, are available for surprisingly low prices, often under $2,000, due to their use in Maserati vehicles and lack of demand. However, the challenges of swapping and utilizing these engines in non-Ferrari vehicles are significant, with unique solutions required for installation and compatibility issues. While the F136 offers a distinct sound and performance, its maintenance costs and limited tuning potential make it a less practical choice compared to more common engine swaps like GM's small-block V8s or Honda's K-series.

Mercedes-AMG to Reintroduce V8 Engines in C63 and E63 Models by 2026

Mercedes-AMG to Reintroduce V8 Engines in C63 and E63 Models by 2026

Mercedes-AMG is reportedly planning to reintroduce V8 engines to its C63 and E63 models by 2026, according to Car and Driver. The current four- and six-cylinder hybrid engines have received criticism from fans who prefer the sound and power of the V8. The move would require modifications to the 4.0-liter V8 to meet EU7 emissions standards. Mercedes-AMG engineers believe the larger engine can be fitted into the C63 and E63 without major modifications. The decision to switch to hybrid engines was met with public outcry, and the reintroduction of the V8 would address concerns about excitement and competition from other brands.
