Hello and welcome to your 2-Minute Tech Briefing from ComputerWorld. I'm your host Arnold Davick, reporting from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Here are the top IT stories you need to know for Thursday, May 14th.
From ComputerWorld, Microsoft's AI assistant is gaining traction across enterprise customers as the company expands Copilot features. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella last week announced that the company now has more than 20 million enterprise users paying for Microsoft Copilot. That's according to TechCrunch.
That's up 33% from the 15 million paying customers Microsoft claimed in January.
Copilot is integrated into Word, Excel and Outlook, while new agent features expand Automated work.
From CSO Online, Claude in Chrome can be hijacked through trusted browser communication paths Researchers at LARX Security have warned that Claude's overly trusted browser communication flows can be abused to inject security scripts that can potentially hijack the assistant's capabilities and manipulate browsing sessions.
LARX is calling the flaw ClaudeBleed. Minimal extensions could issue commands, bypass confirmations, and trigger sensitive actions across Gmail, Google Drive and GitHub. Anthropic patched part of the issue, but LayerX says exposure remains.
And finally, LinkedIn faces a legal complaint launched by digital rights group none of youf Business, alleging free EU users are being illegally blocked from profile viewer data that paid subscribers can access.
Filed this week in an Austrian court, the group's argument is that LinkedIn's who's viewed you'd profile feature contravenes the GDPR Article 15, which covers a subject's right of access to their own Data.
Noyb says LinkedIn denies DSR access while selling the same visibility through Premium, raising a direct GDPR test. For more enterprise tech news, visit ComputerWorld, CIO, NetworkWorld and CSO Online. And don't forget to like and subscribe on the TechTalk YouTube channel.
