Cisco Talos researchers identified two separate ClickFix-style social engineering campaigns that trick victims into executing malicious code themselves, one aimed at stealing cryptocurrency and another designed to gain persistent enterprise network access. One campaign uses a publicly shared Google Sheet to distribute malicious browser code that hijacks Chrome transaction interfaces, while both operations abuse legitimate cloud services and trusted software to disguise malicious activity as normal user behavior.
All configurations of the Apple Watch SE 3, including delivery and in-store pickup, now show as 'Currently Unavailable' on Apple's website. The change comes just ahead of Apple's September 9 event, where new iPhones and Apple Watch models are expected.
OpenAI says it used AI systems, backed by significant investment, to produce a solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, one of the seven unsolved Millennium Prize Problems in mathematics. The claim has drawn immediate pushback from rival labs and researchers who are scrutinizing whether the result truly meets the rigorous proof standards required for the prize.
OpenAI says an internal AI model, more capable than GPT-6 Astra, generated a solution to part of the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the Millennium Prize Problems. The proof demonstrates that three-dimensional incompressible fluid dynamics governed by these equations can develop a singularity—unbounded speed growth—in finite time, even from smooth initial conditions. OpenAI released both a written explanation of the proof and a formal verification built in the Lean proof assistant.
Samsung has issued the final security patch for the 2021 Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, removing both devices from its official security update list. The Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 have now shifted to a quarterly update schedule, signaling their own support window will close around 2027.
Thesys Engineering has released OUI-1, an open-weight model fine-tuned from Google's DiffusionGemma that generates user interfaces in a format called openui-lang. The 26B-parameter model scores 71.7% on the Generative UI Benchmark, a 5.5x jump over its base model, and can run locally on a consumer RTX 5090 GPU at FP8 precision, with weights published on Hugging Face under Gemma's terms of use.
Intel shares surged 9% Tuesday, pushing above the $95 level from its recent equity offering, after reports that the company plans to raise CPU prices in October and news that its foundry business is advancing High NA EUV lithography with over 1 million wafers processed. CNBC's Jim Cramer included Intel among his six top stock picks, while comments from President Trump over the weekend eased worries that the government might soon sell its 10% stake in the company.
Documentarian Alex Gibney's new film 'Musk' debuted at the Venice Film Festival, offering an extensive, unflinching look at Elon Musk's business practices and personal controversies. Reports indicate Musk attempted to suppress the film, including allegedly offering ex-partner Ashley St. Clair $40 million to stay silent about her role in it. St. Clair, one of four women connected to the documentary, publicly disclosed the alleged offer to journalists at the festival.
Amazon has reduced the price of Netgear's Orbi 770 Series tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh system from $549.99 to $449.99, an 18% cut. The system spans 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands on one unified network, offers combined speeds up to roughly 11 Gbps, and covers about 5,500 to 8,000 square feet depending on the bundle size.
A randomized controlled trial across 243 French high schools and 9,628 students tested giving teenagers a free one-year digital subscription to a major national newspaper and running media-literacy classes taught by teachers. Researchers tracked actual online reading behavior and found subscriptions sharply increased news consumption and even led some students to pay for subscriptions on their own nearly a year later. Students in poorer schools showed the biggest knowledge gains, and combining free access with media education produced the strongest literacy improvements, especially with experienced teachers.
A first teaser trailer has dropped for 'Remain,' M. Night Shyamalan's film adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor as a couple kept apart by a mysterious obstacle. The teaser leans into a dramatic, twist-laden tone consistent with both filmmakers' signature styles.
Ahead of Apple's Sept. 9 'Surprise and Shine' event, a CNET reader survey found 77% expect the company to unveil its first foldable iPhone, alongside likely updates to AirPods, Apple Watch and Ultra models. Opinion is divided over whether Apple will also debut smart glasses at the event, part of CNET's ongoing 'Big Guessing Game' contest across its network of sites.
