  New research just dropped: CSS in emails is a silent bomb. Webmail clients try to sanitize styles so they’re “safe.” Researchers at PortSwigger just showed how those sanitizers can be broken, letting attackers steal login tokens, hijack clicks inside Outlook, track opens, and even pull off attacks with zero JavaScript. Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Yahoo, AOL all in the firing line.

  The biggest story isn't whether Gemini "leaked" a game character. It's that millions of people still don't understand the difference between AI training and AI context. If you connect Gemini to your Google Drive, Docs, Gmail, or Calendar, it can use that information to answer your questions. That's a feature, not evidence that your private documents were used to train the model. The real questions are: • What permissions did the user enable? • What data was available to Gemini at the time? • Should AI assistants make it more obvious when an answer comes from your connected files instead of general knowledge? Whether this turns out to be a bug, expected behavior, or a misunderstanding, it highlights a much bigger issue: AI products are becoming operating systems for our digital lives, but most users still don't know what data they've granted access to. The future of AI won't just be about better models. It'll be about trust, transparency, and giving users complete control over their data.

  Max | Google Ads (@lifemaximised) reported 2 minutes ago

  Native Google ads could be making you an extra 7 figs right now but you’re sleeping on them. Here’s how to start capitalising on them: What a native ad is on Google: A Demand Gen or Display ad that reads like a recommended article, a product review, a blog post, or a news story. The ad appears in Gmail promotions tabs, Google Find feeds, YouTube home feeds, and across Google's Display partner network. The format is an image, a headline, and a description. The placement doesn't scream "SPONSORED" at the viewer. The integration looks organic. Why native ads cook: The human brain processes content and advertising through different mental frameworks. When the brain recognises something as an ad, resistance activates. "This thing is trying to sell me something." The guard goes up. Every claim gets filtered through skepticism. When the brain recognises something as content, curiosity activates. "This might be interesting or useful." The guard stays down. The message lands without resistance. Native ads exploit this distinction deliberately. A headline that says "5 Ingredients Dermatologists Say Actually Clear Acne" triggers the content framework. The viewer clicks because they want to learn something. They land on an advertorial that educates them, positions your product as the solution, and converts them through trust rather than persuasion. A headline that says "50% Off Our Acne Treatment Today" triggers the ad framework. The viewer's guard goes up. Even after a click, they're filtering every claim. Conversion rate drops. Identical audience, identical product, and the brain handles each version completely differently. The advertorial that makes native ads print: The landing page is a piece of editorial content. It looks and reads like a real article. A health publication reviewing the product. A journalist investigating the science. A first-person story about someone's experience. The structure follows the classic advertorial arc: Problem agitation (the reader sees their own struggle described in detail) Failed solutions (everything they've already tried and why those failed) The find (how the writer came across the product) Mechanism explanation (the science behind why the product works differently) Results (real outcomes with specific numbers or timelines) Social proof (reviews, testimonials, clinical data) Offer with risk reversal (the purchase feels easy and safe) THIS is how you make advertorials ACTUALLY work for your product. The reader arrives thinking they're reading an article. They leave thinking they've made an informed decision to buy something they were already looking for. Where native ads fit in the funnel: TOF and MOF. These are demand CREATION campaigns rather than demand capture. The audience hasn't searched for your product. They haven't heard of your brand. They're scrolling Find, checking Gmail, watching YouTube. The native ad interrupts them with a content-format entry point. The advertorial educates and converts. The remarketing campaign (PMax, display, video) follows up on everyone who engaged but didn't buy. Why brands fail with native ads: They send native ad traffic to a product page. The user arrived expecting content and got hit with a "BUY NOW" page. The mismatch kills trust and conversion instantly. Or they write the advertorial in a way that reads OBVIOUSLY like a fake article. Generic claims, no specificity, no real data, no authentic voice. Readers in 2026 are very good at detecting fake editorial content. If the page reads like AI-generated slop, they bounce. The advertorial needs to read like a real journalist wrote it. Specific numbers. Named ingredients with mechanisms explained. Real customer stories. Real photos. Genuine voice. The strongest native ads are indistinguishable from the content surrounding them. That's the standard. The CPA advantage: Native ad CPMs are 30-60% lower than standard Demand Gen placements because the format blends with content. Fewer people recognise the placement as an ad, which means fewer people skip, which means the platform charges you less per impression. Lower CPM + higher CTR (content curiosity > ad resistance) + higher landing page conversion (advertorial trust > product page skepticism) = the lowest CPA in the account. We run native ads as the TOF entry point for every client account with proven BOF and MOF campaigns. The CPA advantage compounds as the advertorial data feeds back into Google's targeting.

  your spf, dkim and dmarc are all green. you still have a deliverability problem. this trips people up, so here is the plain version. authentication is not a deliverability strategy. gmail requires it. yahoo requires it. outlook rejects without it. it is the cover charge. passing it does not mean you are good. it means you are allowed in. if it shows up on an invoice as a deliverability service, you are paying someone to hold a door open.

  I audit brands stuck under a 20% open rate and it's ALWAYS sender reputation. Your subject line isn't the problem. reputation tanks → Gmail and Yahoo throttle your sends → fewer emails reach the inbox → open rate sits under 20% No subject line rewrite fixes a reputation that already tanked. Fix deliverability first. THEN the subject line finally matters.

  a researcher just showed CSS alone can escape the boundaries of an email and mess with the webmail interface itself across Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton, Yahoo, AOL: fake login screens, stolen tokens, hijacked UI actions, even manipulated AI assistants that read your inbox. no JS required

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  A GPT-5.6 Terra agent impersonated me and emailed my client without permission. Not drafted an email for me. It sent a real email, as me, to a real client. The CEO of a large financial services company. It chose the recipient to contact, wrote the message, signed my name, and attempted to send it. The first tool call failed. It adjusted its approach and tried again. That failed too. So it iterated again. The third attempt succeeded. > I never approved the recipient. > I never approved the message. > I never approved the channel. > I never approved the send action. This happened while the agent was trying to resolve an issue in /goal loop mode. Which makes this even more concerning: it appears to have reasoned that contacting the client was simply another step toward achieving the goal. The session logs even contain an instruction labeled as a “user” message that I did not write, which the agent then acted on. It appears to have treated access to my Gmail/account as authority to communicate as me. And here’s another important part: It didn't even use the (restricted) Gmail MCP to send the email. It used the browser instead, where access is pretty much unrestricted. So the guardrail existed on one tool, and the agent simply took another path. This doesn't feel like a harmless agent mistake. It took a real external action. It contacted a real person. It impersonated me. And it persisted through multiple failures until it succeeded. That is a very different class of failure. Has anyone else experienced this? Because... once an agent can read your email, decide who to contact, compose something in your name, and send it without approval… the obvious question is: what else can it decide is necessary to accomplish the goal?

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

  Got into the "Your email address may not be secure" IG issue again yesterday. Imao, asking ppl to enter a new email address is toxic. Anyway, gmail users can keep using original emails by this trick: username + ig @ gmail . com as it's treated as a new email for IG, but not gmail
