Obtain YouTube Premium at half price with Google AI Pro

The promotion reduces the yearly YouTube Premium fee by 50% for qualifying users.

Essential information

  • Google is providing a 50% discount on the YouTube Premium annual subscription with its $20/month AI Pro plan for a limited period.
  • The new price lowers YouTube Premium to $80/year and may maintain that rate upon renewal.
  • This promotion is restricted to certain countries and is valid until April 29 for new Google AI Pro subscribers.

Although YouTube has recently raised its Premium subscription prices in the U.S., the company is now attempting to mitigate that impact by providing a 50% discount for new Google AI Pro subscribers.

Google has been vigorously promoting its AI Pro plan recently. The company has increased the included storage from 2TB to 5TB at no additional charge, and it is now adding another benefit to enhance the allure of the plan.

Google has declared that anyone subscribing to its $20/month Google AI Pro plan will qualify for a 50% discount on the YouTube Premium annual plan. This implies that the individual subscription, which is currently priced at $160 annually in the U.S., will effectively decrease to $80 for qualified users.

It is important to mention that this offer is accessible only in specific regions, including the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Germany, France, and Japan. Furthermore, it is a limited-time offer that is valid until April 29, so there is a brief opportunity to benefit from it.

What’s noteworthy is that Google states once you subscribe, the YouTube Premium annual plan will persist at the reduced $80/year renewal rate, making this a very attractive offer over time, especially following the recent price hike.

ADLINK OSM-MTK520: MediaTek Genio 520-Based OSM Size-L System-on-Module – CNX Software

MediaTek Genio 520 OSM Size L system-on-module

ADLINK OSM-MTK520 is a 45 x 45mm OSM Size-L system-on-module (SoM) powered by a MediaTek Genio 520 AIoT processor with a 10 TOPS NPU for Edge AI workloads. It’s basically an upgrade to the company’s OSM-MTK510 OSM Size-L module with a Genio 510 hexa-core SoC (3.2 TOPS NPU), up to 32GB eMMC flash, and 8GB LPDDR4 with a Genio 520 octa-core SoC (10 TOPS NPU), up to 256GB or 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, and up to 16GB LPDDR5 memory. There are also some minor changes to I/Os with an extra USB OTG interface, DisplayPort instead of HDMI, an extra MIPI CSI camera interface, fewer I2C interfaces, and more GPIOs. ADLINK OSM-MTK520 specifications: SoC – MediaTek Genio 520 (MT8371) CPU – Octa-core processor with 2x Cortex-A78 cores @ up to 2.2 GHz and 4x Cortex-A55 cores @ up to 2.0 GHz GPU – Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU up to 880 MHz […]

New Cybersecurity Risk Circumvents Two-Factor Authentication to Capture Accounts and Passwords

Varonis has identified an infostealer that gathers browser credentials, which include accounts and passwords, session cookies, and cryptocurrency wallets. An infostealer is a category of malware created to collect sensitive information and transmit it to a remote attacker. Once that data is decrypted, the attacker can make use of it. Information stealers have existed since the mid-2000s, but this recent variant, dubbed Storm, utilizes a distinctive approach that permits attackers to obtain Google account tokens, two-factor authentication codes, and more.

Traditional information-stealing malware is among the prevalent methods for password theft and primarily operates locally, on an infected user’s machine. It loads compromised SQLite libraries, an embedded database engine that aids application performance, and subsequently accesses stored account data that way. It is widespread and easily identified by endpoint security solutions. Google shifted this paradigm when it introduced what is known as App-Bound Encryption in Chrome 127 in July 2024. As Varonis clarifies, encryption keys became linked to the Chrome browser, which effectively “complicated local decryption even further.”

Consequently, malware evolved to be more sophisticated, but the “first wave” of enhancements inserted harmful code into Chrome or exploited its debugging protocols. This approach still left detectable evidence for security solutions. Enter Storm. Now, locally gathered data — still encrypted — is transmitted to a proprietary framework. After a machine is compromised, attackers harvest the data needed to restore hijacked sessions from a distance. Collected items include saved passwords, session cookies, autofill form data, Google account tokens, credit card information, browsing histories, and even files from user directories and popular applications. Additionally, since data is decrypted server-side, Storm remains undetectable by numerous endpoint security solutions.

What additional capabilities does Storm possess that enhance its sophistication?
