Akira ransomware’s Safe Mode attack disabled defenses

An Akira ransomware affiliate rebooted a victim into Safe Mode to disable Huntress and Microsoft Defender, but the restricted environment also caused Akira’s encryptor to fail. The attackers still stole credentials and data after entering through an MFA-less SonicWall VPN; earlier coverage examined how DeadLock suppresses Windows defenses and complicates recovery in a related ransomware campaign.

Add multiple picture widgets to GNOME desktop with this extension

If you remember that desktop picture widget for GNOME I wrote about last year, but found it a bit too basic for personalisation preferences, you weren’t alone. One user felt it could use more flexibility, so forked and improved it. Picture Desktop Widget Remake improves on the original. It lets add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop, and assign each one a different folder to pull images from, at random. Plus, you can set the size, position, border radius and aspect ratio of each widget individually. Each photo frame has its own on/off button in Preferences, letting you hide […]

📰 PS5 emulation finally arrives on the Steam Deck, achieving a milestone performance of, uh, 0.6 FPS

Getting an emulator working for the first time on a piece of hardware is no small feat. The beginning may look quite rough, but despite how badly it performs, it's still a good proof of concept that at least something is possible. I say this because someone has gotten a PS5 emulator running on their Steam Deck, and while it never breaks 1 FPS, it's still amazing that it even runs at all.

Microsoft retires standalone MDTI, integrates threat intelligence into Defender XDR and Sentinel

Microsoft retired the standalone Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence (MDTI) experience on August 1, 2026. Its threat intelligence capabilities now appear in the Microsoft Defender portal for Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel.
