Aston Martin DBX GT Trades Aggression for Luxury, Retaining 717 HP

Aston Martin has unveiled the 2027 DBX GT, a comfort-focused variant of its flagship SUV that retains the 717-horsepower twin-turbo V8 of the DBX S but prioritizes refinement. The new model features a softer suspension, significantly improved noise isolation, and a more understated exterior design. Priced starting at approximately $262,000, it aims to attract buyers seeking luxury over aggressive performance, with first deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

BlueMoon Exploit Kit Chains Chrome and Windows Zero-Days in Rapid Espionage Campaigns

Google patched 230 vulnerabilities, including the actively exploited V8 sandbox escape CVE-2026-87491, in a major Chrome update. Security firm Proofpoint identified a new exploit kit named 'BlueMoon' that chains this flaw with a type-confusion bug (CVE-2026-85046) and a Windows kernel privilege escalation flaw. At least four espionage-motivated groups, including China-aligned actor TA412, rapidly adopted this kit to target US NGOs, aerospace, and mining sectors. The attacks exploited a 'patch gap' where upstream fixes were public before stable browser releases, likely aided by AI-assisted development.

Chrome patches seventh 2026 zero-day as V8 flaw exploited in wild

Google has released a critical security update for Chrome to address a new, actively exploited zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-87491) in its V8 JavaScript engine. This is the seventh such flaw patched in 2026, following a type confusion bug fixed in early September. While the new exploit allows remote code execution via crafted HTML pages, Google has withheld technical details to prevent further attacks. Users are urged to update to version 153.0.8010.36 or later immediately, as the patch rollout may take time to reach all devices.
