The criminal group ShinyHunters also copied data from Vimeo during their breach at service provider Anodot.

The cyber gang ShinyHunters is offering stolen Vimeo data for download. Early Wednesday, the entry on ShinyHunters' dark web leak site still stated that Vimeo had only a short time to respond to the extortionists. On Thursday of this week, the entry now shows a download link for the data. Vimeo admits data leak Vimeo has meanwhile admitted the IT security incident on the company's website.

Thursday, April 30th, 2026 – 9:14 am Ad tech doesn’t suffer from a shortage of acronyms – but it does suffer from fragmented workflows. Brand suitability provider Zefr is trying to fix some of that fragmentation by using Model Context Protocol (MCP) as the plumbing that connects AI agents to advertiser data and tools, together with an Advertising Context Protocol (AdCP) layer on top that allows those agents to turn natural language requests into live campaigns. And now the jargon-free version: Advertisers can tell an AI agent what they want to run on YouTube in plain English, and the system figures out how to set up the campaign. On Thursday, Zefr launched Zain, an agentic hub that serves as an entry point to that setup. The hub integrates data across platforms, including a brand’s first-party data, Zefr’s contextual data and data collected from third-party providers. Through the AdCP integration, marketers can then push campaigns into social environments, including Meta and YouTube, without leaving the single workflow. According to Zefr, the release marks the first time that YouTube campaigns are available to buy through an AdCP integration. Nothing lost in translation AdCP’s role in all of this is to translate natural

WELLFLEET — The moderators of the town’s most popular online forum — the “Wellfleet Community Space,” a private Facebook group in which only the 12,300 admitted members can see what is posted — have implemented new guardrails in recent weeks to stop the spread of misinformation and lower tensions after receiving threatening messages, according to the group’s three administrators, Jessica Larsen, Farrukh Najmi, and Mike Davis. Jessica Larsen is one of three Wellfleet Community Space administrators. (Photos by Agata Storer). All three said in separate interviews on April 26 that posts from a vocal minority of users about two housing projects in town — the recently completed Lawrence Hill apartments and the planned development of Maurice’s Campground — have “inundated” the Community Space group with half-truths and personal attacks. To curtail “anger, suspicion, and misinformation,” the moderators removed seven users, including county commission candidate Eric Schwaab of Barnstable, and changed the site’s settings so that every post needs approval from one of the three administrators before it can go live. The Wellfleet Community Space was created in 2013 and typically gets more than 600 posts per month that run the gamut from local bird sightings to recommendations for “reasonably priced

It was Anna Jarvis, one of the 12 children bore by Ann Jarvis, who campaigned to create a national Mother's Day in the early part of the 20th century. She chose the second Sunday in May, to commemorate the day her mother passed. President Woodrow Wilson made the holiday official in 1914. And although Ms. Jarvis would become disheartened by the commercial turn the holiday quickly took, there is at least one good thing that's arisen for matriarchs — yummy brunches they don't have to make themselves (at least if there's justice in the universe). But what about moms with selective palates, or with partners and family members that are lacking in the ways of the kitchen? Are they to just grin and bear whatever feeble food attempts are set before them? It's their day, after all. And although mothers everywhere deserve more than one 24-hour period of appreciation per year, there's no reason that morning, and the food they're served, can't be special. Recipes are the key. Follow the right ones, and even the most skeptical and picky of mamas can happily indulge in a meal fit for a consecration of motherhood. Presenting, with a carnation, a dozen brunch
