Rather, Samsung’s strategy seems to be based not on technological leaps and cutting-edge technology, but on cost management and increasing profit margins. However, with the memory crisis, Samsung is finding it difficult to keep its profits high and this seems to lead Samsung to look for screens from other manufacturers, for the Galaxy S27.

Deep Dive: The Mechanics and Context of the Morpheus Spyware A recent report from Osservatorio Nessuno not only identifies a new player in the surveillance industry, but also exposes a disturbing collaboration between state infrastructure and telecommunications operators. What makes this campaign unique is not the complexity of the code, but the method of infection. By collaborating with the target’s mobile service provider (ISP), the attackers create an artificial “technical problem” (data outage). This forces the victim to look for a solution, making the installation of the fake app seem like a legitimate and necessary action. Once installed, Morpheus asks…
