Public Google API keys unlock Gemini AI data risk

Researchers found nearly 3,000 Google API keys publicly exposed in client-side code that could authenticate to Google's Gemini AI and access private data. Google says it has implemented protections to block leaked keys from Gemini and will notify developers, who should audit and rotate keys. The exposure was uncovered by TruffleSecurity via the November 2025 Common Crawl dataset, highlighting potential abuse where attackers could incur API charges by making Gemini calls.

Nano Banana 2 replaces Nano Banana Pro as the default across the Gemini app and related tools, while Pro remains available for specialized tasks; the update also rolls out to AI Mode in Search, Lens, and Flow.

Gemini on Galaxy S26 Can Auto-Run Uber Rides and DoorDash Orders

Google's Gemini voice assistant can automate tasks in popular mobile apps (starting with Uber and food services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub) by opening apps, running actions in the background, and prompting for missing details before you confirm. The feature, in early preview, uses Model Context Protocol integrations or App Functions for backend automation, or falls back to navigating the app UI. Privacy controls are emphasized, with data not used for advertising and options to delete access. Availability begins on the Galaxy S26 in the US and South Korea from March 11, with a broader rollout to Pixel devices and more apps planned later this year.

The company cites “private sector entities” and researchers as possible culprits, while noting real-time detection reduced the attack’s risk, in the broader context of an AI arms race and monetization pressure on models.
