It’s been, well, 3.5 years since the last World Cup, but the biggest football tournament returns, spanning three countries as the action takes places across North America from Mexico to the United States and Canada. The tournament begins in Mexico City on the 11th June, and over the course of five weeks (37 days to be exact), 48 teams will take part in 104 matches, making this the biggest World Cup yet. And unlike the Champions League Final, the World Cup will be free-to-air, and if you live in the UK, there are two ways that you can the action…

The standardization of USB-C across smartphones and other consumer electronics is probably the best thing about modern technology, but this regulation still has its limitations. Not all USB-C chargers are the same, and certain manufacturers lock charging protocols to their own devices, which often require specific chargers and cables. USB-PD (USB Power Delivery) is one such protocol, widely used across the industry, but there’s an extension of USB-PD called PPS (Programmable Power Supply) — a feature many people, including me, aren’t familiar with. If your phone supports PPS, you may already be undercharging it without realizing, because cheap chargers aren’t…

Varonis’ “Pinchy” OpenClaw agent fell for identity‑based phishing despite strict settingsModels blocked malicious links/OAuth apps but granted sensitive access when requests felt urgentResearchers say AI agents need enforced identity verification before actingSecurity researchers tested an OpenClaw email agent to see if it’s naive enough to fall for the same phishing scams regular employees fall for and it succeeded. Or failed, depending on how you look at it.Cybersecurity researchers Varonis created an OpenClaw agent dubbed Pinchy, and connected it to a Gmail inbox, browser tools, and Google Workspace APIs. They populated the account with fake internal company data, AWS credentials, database…

Hackers no longer force open the side-window when infostealers can give them a key to the front door. Infostealers have become the primary source of stolen credentials for attackers. Using these credentials is now a favored route for bad actors to access a target effectively as an invited guest. It is quicker, easier, less visible and more effective than forcing an entry. More than 11.1 million devices were infected with infostealers in 2025, reports Flashpoint. More than 3.3 billion credentials, browser artifacts, session information and other forms of identity are now circulating in illicit marketplaces. These don’t simply provide entry…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech No Fault of Our Own Southern California is home to two major fault lines, the San Andreas and San Jacinto, where large tectonic plates grind past each other, occasionally triggering violent earthquakes. While smaller quakes are not uncommon in the region, powerful ones can prove devastating. For instance, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which occurred along the San Andreas fault, became the deadliest incident of its kind in the history of the United States, killing an estimated 3,000 people, while destroying over 80…

Most of us spend more time wearing headphones or earbuds than we realize, and I know I do. Between shuffling playlists during my daily commute, jumping on work calls, listening to podcasts while walking around the neighborhood, and winding down with a late-night binge session, audio has quietly become an essential part of everyday life. Our listening needs, however, change throughout the day. The over-ear headphones I want for a long workday are not necessarily the same audio wearable I reach for when stepping outside. Yet many audio brands seem determined to convince us that a single expensive product is…

If you cannot convert your MBR disk into GPT due to the “Unrecognized partition found, index 1 disk layout validation failed” error, this article will help. This error usually occurs when the disk contains a corrupted or improperly configured partition that prevents the MBR2GPT tool from validating the disk. As a result, the conversion process fails. Unrecognized partition found, index 1 disk layout validation failed MBR, or Master Boot Record, is a legacy partitioning scheme in Windows that has been replaced by GPT due to several limitations. That’s why modern computers have a GPT partitioning scheme by default. Additionally, Secure…

The Honor Magic V6 began its global rollout last week with a launch in Malaysia and Singapore. Honor says that the new foldable flagship will reach Europe soon. In the meantime, the company wanted to confirm that it and other Magic-series models will receive 7 years of OS updates and security patches in the EU and the UK. This is not a new development – last year the company committed to the 7-year update window for all Magic devices. Meanwhile, more affordable phones like the number series are getting 6 years of support. …

ServiceNow is informing customers that it has patched a vulnerability that appears to have been exploited by attackers. ServiceNow’s cloud-based platform is widely used by organizations for automating and managing workflows across IT service management, HR, customer service, and other enterprise operations. The company has not made any information about the cybersecurity incident public, but an advisory available to authenticated customers — a copy of which was shared on Reddit — indicates that hosted customer instances received a security update on June 5. “The update concerned a security issue that could allow an unauthenticated user, in certain circumstances, to gain…

Anthropoic released Claude Fable 5 – A Mythos Class Model. It is a step up in many ways. It seens to be stepping up innovative science improvement. It still feels like very solid incremental improvements but not breaking away yet. But feeling like we are getting closer. It is expensive to run it. Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available. pic.twitter.com/2AvmEjHIX8 — Claude (@claudeai) June 9, 2026 Screenshot Screenshot Claude 5 Fable ranking 1st on AAI pic.twitter.com/eLGHdeEOos — Lisan al Gaib…
