Google has introduced a new feature called "Copy code" in its Android and iOS apps, designed to make it easier for users to copy verification codes without having to open their email. This change is intended to streamline the two-factor authentication process, which is a security measure that requires users to provide two forms of identification to access their accounts. The feature became available in late September 2026, but it is not yet available in the web version of Gmail, meaning users need to update their mobile apps to access it. In a separate incident, a cybercriminal group known as ShinyHunters claimed to have hacked the FBI's recruitment website and stolen between 2 and 3 terabytes of data, including information about employees and job candidates. According to the group, they exploited a previously unknown security flaw in Oracle PeopleSoft, a software used by many organizations for human resources management. The data was stored on servers hosted by AWS GovCloud, a secure cloud computing service used by government agencies. Rather than asking for a ransom payment, ShinyHunters is requesting the FBI to address allegations of harassment made against them in a previous hacking incident. Meanwhile, a developer discovered that the ZCode application, created by the company Z.ai, was automatically sending users' code repositories to Alibaba Cloud without giving them the option to stop the process. Z.ai explained that the data collection was part of a feature designed to automatically generate documentation for users' code. In response to criticism, the company published its source code to increase transparency. Z.ai claims that the data was not used to train artificial intelligence models, but it has not been possible to fully audit the data sent before September 18.
