A fresh leak claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra may drop the current 10MP 3x telephoto in favor of a larger 4x super-telephoto with a 1/1.9-inch sensor, potentially boosting zoom photo quality and low-light performance, signaling a major change from the S26 Ultra’s camera layout, though final specs remain unconfirmed and rivals like Google and Apple are also advancing their zoom capabilities.
Market Insider highlights the biggest stock moves in premarket trading, led by Intuit, Zoom, Semtech and SolarEdge among others.
Vishal Garg, the founder and former CEO of Better.com famous for laying off 900 employees on a Zoom call before Christmas in 2021, says he was fired and replaced by hedge fund manager Daniel Lewis who had joined the board a week earlier; Garg alleges he was hoodwinked and is seeking reinstatement at $1 a year until profitability is restored, as the company pivots to restore growth and profitability.
Vishal Garg, founder and former CEO of Better.com, famous for firing 900 employees on a Zoom call before Christmas in 2021, says he was ousted in August 2026 but is lobbying to reclaim the CEO role with investor backing, even offering to work for $1 a year. Better has pivoted to AI-driven mortgage processing and formed partnerships with Neo Home Loans, Intuit, Coinbase and OpenAI, boosting efficiency and loan volume, but the stock has fallen since the leadership change. Garg acknowledges past missteps while arguing the turnaround is near.
Cybersecurity researchers found a flaw in Zoom's Workspace screen-sharing that could let attackers remotely execute code and take control of a victim's device without any action from the user; the issue affects Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux and was AI-assisted to develop the exploit in under a day. Zoom has issued fixes across affected versions, and users should update to the latest build to mitigate the risk. The story also notes a separate macOS Screen Sharing vulnerability prompting additional updates.
Security researchers disclosed three Zoom annotation flaws that could let a meeting participant hijack another attendee’s or the presenter’s Zoom client via crafted screen drawings. Patches were released in June–July before the disclosure, and there are no known exploits in the wild. The vulnerabilities span a buffer over-write, a buffer over-read, and a use-after-free (CVE-2026-53413, -53414, -53415) with disputed CVSS scores between researchers and Zoom, and conflicting claims about whether user interaction is required. Zoom lists its own CVEs with different scoring and credits, while the research firm claims a rapid exploit path using public AI models.
Researchers used publicly available AI tools to uncover a vulnerability in Zoom's real-time screen-sharing annotation protocol that could allow any caller on a Zoom call to silently hijack another participant's device. Zoom deployed server and client fixes across all supported platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android). The finding highlights how AI-assisted bug hunting can dramatically lower the barrier to discovering dangerous exploits.
Zoom patched a severe security flaw tied to its screen-annotation feature after researchers showed that an exploit could be crafted with fewer than 20 public AI prompts. The flaw allowed an attacker to join or host a meeting and run malicious code on victims’ devices, potentially stealing data, or turning on cameras and microphones, with no user action or visual cue required; the vulnerability affected Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Zoom released security updates for Windows to fix a critical flaw (CVE-2026-53412, CVSS 9.8) in Zoom Workplace for Windows and related VDI components that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to take over accounts via network. The patch also addresses three high-severity issues (CVE-2026-53411, CVE-2026-53410, CVE-2026-53409) that could enable privilege escalation for authenticated users or via local access across Zoom Workplace, VDI, VDI plugin, and Zoom Rooms for Windows. Affected version details are provided for each product, and Zoom notes no active exploitation so far. The update also removes Meeting SDK for Windows from the affected scope. Users should install the latest versions to stay protected.
Zoom is warning about a critical, unauthenticated vulnerability in its Windows desktop client, Windows VDI client, and Meeting SDK (CVE-2026-53412, severity 9.8/10) that could enable account takeover over the network. Affected products include Zoom Workplace for Windows before 7.0.0, VDI Client before 7.0.10/6.6.15/6.5.18, and Meeting SDK before 7.0.0. Users should install the latest updates, which also fix several other high-severity flaws, though there are currently no known active exploitations.
Worldcoin is expanding its biometric iris-scan verification, linking with Tinder for global “verified human” profile badges and with Zoom for real-time face checks via World ID Deep Face, plus a Concert Kit to curb ticket bots. While proponents argue biometrics can prevent bots and fraud, critics warn about privacy risks and the challenge of scaling the system, as Worldcoin presses for broader uptake amid mixed public reception and infrastructure questions.

Kyler Murray plans to Zoom with 3–5 NFL teams that could need a quarterback in 2027, with the Vikings still viewed as the favorite after a visit; possible teams include the Jets, Steelers, Browns, Falcons, and Rams. The meetings aim to get a head start on the 2027 free-agent market and likely precede a one-year, $1.3 million deal for 2026, making a no-tag clause important for his future options.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra emphasizes faster apertures and improved image processing for brighter low‑light photos and a zoom edge with two telephotos (3x and 5x) versus the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s 4x telephoto. Both flagships share similar main-sensor sizes, but the article tests hundreds of photos in various lighting and stops short of declaring a clear winner, inviting readers to judge the sample images.
