In recent years, consumers interested in building or upgrading their PCs have encountered a worrying trend: a consistent rise in motherboard prices. This upward trajectory marks yet another setback for many who have struggled with increasing costs post-pandemic. The technology sector, particularly major vendors like ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte, is facing challenges as they manage the delicate balance between keeping
In recent technological developments, Intel’s 18A semiconductor process emerges as a potential game-changer in the highly competitive semiconductor industry. This breakthrough is particularly significant for Intel Foundry Services (IFS), which aims to establish itself as a leader in semiconductor foundry capabilities. The keen interest of major industry players such as NVIDIA, Broadcom, IBM, and Faraday Technology in sampling Intel’s 18A
Recent revelations have highlighted a worrying trend in the cryptocurrency industry, where popular browser-based wallets are vulnerable to attacks without any user interaction. Unlike traditional phishing attacks, these new schemes allow attackers to drain funds merely by enticing users to visit a compromised website, a tactic that elevates the potential threat to a new level. Critical vulnerabilities in wallets like
In the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, a new vulnerability has emerged within the Linux ecosystem, specifically targeting the io_uring feature. Discovered by ARMO, this vulnerability involves a rootkit named “Curing,” which exploits io_uring to execute malicious activities while remaining undetected by conventional security tools. Such tools often focus their monitoring efforts on system calls, a method that the io_uring-based
On April 21, 2025, Adyen, a global payment platform, faced a major disruption due to a significant Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, affecting numerous customers across Europe. This incident underscored the growing threat and sophistication of cyberattacks targeting financial infrastructure. The attack resulted in widespread delays and transaction failures at crucial moments, highlighting the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. Attack Overview and

In an alarming development for the tech community, a new supply chain attack has been targeting Linux developers through Telegram’s bot ecosystem. This attack, uncovered recently, involves several malicious npm packages posing as legitimate Telegram bot libraries. Despite having relatively low installation numbers, the sophistication of these packages and the potential damage they can cause warrants serious attention. The attack
The world of semiconductor technology is highly competitive, with major players constantly looking to gain an edge through the adoption of cutting-edge manufacturing processes. Intel is poised to take a significant leap forward with its upcoming Nova Lake CPUs, set to be produced using TSMC’s advanced 2nm process technology. This move signals an important collaboration and competition in the semiconductor
Recent developments in the world of ransomware emphasize how cybercriminals are perpetually adapting their strategies to maintain efficacy and maximize financial gains. The evolution of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) models and the innovative techniques adopted by notorious ransomware gangs like DragonForce and Anubis are at the forefront of this transformation. These shifts significantly alter the cyber threat landscape, making it easier for
In a severe disruption to the legal proceedings in Phoenix, a ransomware attack has significantly impacted the operations of the Federal Public Defender’s office. The cyber-attack, identified as a “ransomware and data exfiltration event,” critically affected the office’s file storage and data backup systems, making it impossible for the staff to access essential data. As a result, the office has
Cybercriminals now use deepfakes to create highly realistic videos featuring trusted personalities, manipulating viewers into falling for scams. For instance, a deepfake of a famous tech reviewer might promote fake investment opportunities, leading viewers to make misguided financial decisions. The psychological impact and believability of deepfakes make them particularly dangerous, as they exploit the established trust between creators and their
Hackers are exploiting near-field communication (NFC) technology to commit instant payment fraud through the Chinese-speaking Android malware-as-a-service platform, SuperCard X. This malware enables real-time theft by using NFC to capture payment card data and make fraudulent transactions at point of sale (PoS) terminals and ATMs. Unlike older methods such as overlay attacks or SMS interception, SuperCard X uses contactless functionalities
