But neglecting your router comes at a high price. This year, Russian intelligence hackers (APT28) exploited neglected home routers across 23 US states to build a shadow network, intercept network traffic and steal credentials.

The long-expected follow-up to one of the most successful game consoles ever felt like it should be a slam dunk. My thought then was that the Switch 2 was the best gaming handheld, but not something any Nintendo Switch owner needed to buy. And that was always the paradox: For all that the Switch 2 does better than the Switch, it’s also the same proposition in many ways. It’s another Switch, but with better graphics and some…
Going back to play games released decades ago is a quaint experience, looking back at simpler mechanics and level designs, marveling at how far we’ve come.

That’s No Moon revealed Crossfire at Summer Game Fest 2026’s trailer showcase — and yes, it is set in the same universe as the 2007 first-person shooter of the same name that was popular in South Korea and China. But the new version is a radical departure, ditching Counter-Strike-style team competition…

In a lawsuit unsealed this week but filed in 2020, William Barlow, who was IBM’s vice president of threat intelligence until August 2019, said IBM concluded Chinese hackers breached its core network between 2013 and 2016 but that the company then covered up the breaches and never disclosed them. Barlow also said at least two IBM subsidiaries were also breached, and that IBM covered up those breaches as well. Barlow alleged in his complaint that IBM’s core network was “routinely hacked by foreign state actors and others,” adding that data was frequently stolen and government agencies were “never notified.” A…

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is internally referring to the revamped Siri as a “beta” and “preview” product, signaling that the company may not present the…
