Google might give a glimpse of Pixel 10 series at pre-launch event: Details

The "Pixel Penthouse" is expected to be a 90-minute-long pre-launch event scheduled for June 27, where Google is likely to reveal its upcoming Pixel 10 series and other products to super fans
New Delhi
Google might give a glimpse of the upcoming Pixel 10 series to select super fans in the UK region ahead of its official launch. As per a report by Android Central, some super fans in the UK region have received emails from Google to invite them to a pre-launch event of the Google Pixel 10 series.
A report by 9To5Google cited some Redditors who shared the invite online on the forum. As per the screenshots of the email, those super fans were allegedly invited by Google to the 'Pixel Penthouse' which essentially is an 'exclusive pre-launch event' that Google is hosting for its 'biggest retail and press partners' in the UK to offer a 'sneak preview of our upcoming devices pre-release.'
Google Pixel 10 pre-launch: What's in invite
According to 9To5Google, this year, Google is offering an exclusive opportunity to 25 selected super fans to attend a special 90-minute event in London on June 27. Attendees are expected to get an early look at the upcoming Pixel 10 series and Pixel Watch 4.
The cover image of the email showed a Pixel phone, Tablet, Watch, and Buds. It is possible that it might be a stock image, but the Pixel 10 series is expected to resemble its predecessor, so it might just be a picture of the Pixel 10 series only.
The event is also likely to offer hands-on access to unreleased Pixel devices and features, along with a Q&A session with members of the Google team. At the end of its invitation emails, Google has added a short questionnaire to assess just how dedicated a Pixel fan you really are. The questions touch on topics like your favorite Pixel feature and what kinds of promotions influence your buying decisions, as reported by Android Central. Those who receive the invite have until June 4 to submit their responses for a chance to attend. The selected winners will be revealed on June 11.

16 billion passwords compromised, says report; have you changed yours?

A massive breach has exposed over 16 billion usernames and passwords from platforms like Google, Apple, Facebook, and more. The leak raises serious cybersecurity concerns, prompting urgent calls for stronger passwords, two-factor authentication, and regular dark web exposure checks. read more A staggering 16 billion usernames and passwords have been exposed in what experts are calling the largest-ever database of stolen credentials. The trove of compromised data includes login details from major platforms such as Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, GitHub and even government services, raising alarms over the global state of digital security. Cybersecurity researchers say the breach stems from a collection of 30 massive datasets, each holding tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records. The information, mostly acquired through infostealing malware, appears to be freshly leaked, with nearly all of the datasets previously unreported except for one earlier disclosure of 184 million passwords by researcher Jeremiah Fowler, according to a new investigation by Cybernews. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Most of these credentials are structured as URLs followed by usernames and passwords, and they cover virtually every type of online service imaginable,' said Vilius Petkauskas, a Cybernews analyst who has been investigating the leak since the beginning of the year. The scale of this breach surpasses previous incidents, including last year's so-called 'Mother of All Breaches' which exposed 26 billion records. While it's unclear whether some of the leaked data might have been repackaged from earlier incidents, researchers insist that this leak is largely new. Lawrence Pingree, vice president at cybersecurity firm Dispersive, explained that such datasets are often circulated and resold on the dark web—sometimes bundled with other leaks, sometimes offered piecemeal. 'Whether it's a repackaged leak or not, 16 billion records is a huge number,' Pingree said. 'This kind of data is valuable precisely because it is so often misused.' The breach underscores how widespread the threat of credential theft has become, with attackers targeting social media platforms, corporate portals, developer tools, and VPN services alike. In response, experts urge users to adopt better security hygiene. Basic protections include running antivirus scans to detect infostealers, checking dark web exposure via tools like Google One's 'Dark Web Report,' and crucially, using strong and unique passwords for every service.

Alphabet's Google tries to appease EU with changes to search result rankings: Report

Alphabet's Google has reportedly put forward additional concessions to address concerns raised by European Union regulators, aiming to avoid a significant antitrust fine under the bloc's new digital competition rules. According to documents reviewed byReuters, the U.S. tech giant is attempting to appease the European Commission by adjusting how rival services are displayed in its search results. The move comes in response to formal charges filed three months ago, accusing Google of favouring its own platforms, such as Google Shopping, Hotels, and Flights at the expense of competitors, in violation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). You may be interested in The DMA, which came into force earlier this year, outlines strict obligations for so-called 'gatekeeper' platforms to curb anti-competitive behaviour and offer consumers broader choices. Under Google's revised proposal, a selected vertical search service (VSS), chosen based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria would be prominently featured in its own dedicated box at the top of the results page. This box would mirror the design and features of Google's own modules and contain three direct links to offerings in categories like hotels, restaurants, transport, and airlines. Other VSS providers would still be listed further down in the search results, but would not benefit from a similarly prominent display unless users click to access them. Despite the proposal, the company has maintained that it disagrees with the Commission's preliminary conclusions. 'We do not agree with the (Commission's) preliminary findings' position but, on a without prejudice basis, we want to find a workable solution to resolve the present proceedings,' the documents noted. The European Commission has scheduled a meeting on 8 July to gather feedback from competing firms. Several of Google's rivals, who declined to be named ahead of the discussion, expressed scepticism over the effectiveness of the proposed changes. They argue that the measures still fall short of delivering a genuinely level playing field. The outcome of these negotiations could set a crucial precedent for how Big Tech operates under the EU's ambitious digital regulatory framework. (With inputs from Reuters)
