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…

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…

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index 1 disk layout validation failed MBR, or Master Boot Record, is a legacy partitioning scheme in Windows that has been replaced by GPT due to several limitations.

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.

Meanwhile, more affordable phones like the number series are getting 6 years of support. …

Movie theaters are making a comeback this year. Part of that is thanks to tried-and-true blockbusters like Project Hail Mary and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is first film of 2026 to cross $1 billion at the box office. But the more exciting development is that the smaller, independent movies have captured the imaginations of younger moviegoers. Backrooms, based on a 2010s-era piece of internet folklore, has taken in over $200 million on a budget of just $10 million. Obsession, a horror movie about love gone wrong, has made even more (for now) and cost even less. This is…
