The RansomHouse ransomware group has taken credit for the recent attack on the cybersecurity firm Trellix. The Trellix hack came to light this week when the company announced on its website that part of its source code repository had been breached. “Based on our investigation to date, we have found no evidence that our source code release or distribution process was affected, or that our source code has been exploited,” the company stated. No other information has been shared by Trellix, but it has promised to release additional details after it completes its investigation. RansomHouse claims Trellix hack The RansomHouse…

There is no app that lets you pull up someone else’s call history. There never has been, and there almost certainly never will be — carriers don’t expose that data, and no third-party developer has the access required to retrieve it. This is not a grey area; it is simply not possible. And yet, 7.3 million people, according to welivesecurity have downloaded apps that claimed to do exactly that. Security researchers at ESET spent months untangling a sprawling family of 28 fraudulent Android apps they collectively dubbed CallPhantom — apps that promised users a window into anyone’s phone activity: call…

Although the discounts aren’t particularly steep, it’s still good to see Apple’s latest iPhone 17 models getting some price cuts. However, the older iPhone 16 is available with a far more attractive discount. We’ve also found some deals on Google’s Pixel 10 series, Samsung’s latest Galaxy S26 lineup, and a couple of Xiaomi smartphones. The Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro are currently available with a modest £30 discount. However, the offer is limited to the 256GB storage variants. If you’re looking to save more on a new iPhone, the older iPhone 16 currently offers…

A system that thousands of schools and universities use was offline Thursday during a cyberattack, creating chaos as students tried to study for finals and underscoring education’s dependence on technology. The hacking group named ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach at Canvas, said Luke Connolly, a threat analyst at the cybersecurity firm Emisoft. Instructure, the company behind Canvas, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment or questions about whether the system was taken down as a precaution or because the hackers knocked it offline. Canvas is used to manage grades, course notes, assignments, lecture videos and more. The hacking…

Dolby Atmos is everywhere. I’ve seen wireless speakers and soundbars with Dolby Atmos support. I’ve used streaming services touting spatial audio powered by Atmos. Most recently, the new Motorola phone I’m reviewing has Dolby Atmos speakers. Frankly, I think Dolby is playing too loose with the Atmos brand. If the catchy name is on basically every audio product and streaming service, it’s hard to know what seeing the Dolby Atmos logo actually tells you. The one thing you should know about Dolby Atmos is that not all Atmos content is the same quality. There are many misconceptions about Dolby Atmos,…

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityTL;DR WHOOP is adding on-demand clinician video consultations in its app in the US this summer. The company hasn’t said whether clinician access is included in membership pricing or costs extra. The updates, which include other AI features, arrive a day after Google launched the Fitbit Air. With Google launching its Fitbit Air yesterday, WHOOP doesn’t seem ready to give up ground in the screenless fitness tracker space without a fight. The brand just announced a major update to its wearable services, and the timing seems unlikely to be a coincidence.In a press release today, WHOOP…

AI evaluation and observability platform Braintrust urged customers this week to rotate API keys that may have been compromised after hackers accessed an AWS account.

The message also included indicators of compromise (IOCs) and remediation steps. Immediately after learning of the incident, Braintrust locked down the compromised account, audited related systems and restricted access to them, rotated internal secrets, and launched an investigation into the matter.
