Researchers from the Google Threat Intelligence Group said that hackers are compromising SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) appliances, which sit at the edge of enterprise networks and manage and secure access by mobile devices. The targeted devices are end of life, meaning they no longer receive regular updates for stability and security. Despite the status, many organizations continue to rely on them.

Will Gamers Care About ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ on Mac Like They Did With the Switch 2?

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-08-13 02:10:04

We keep talking about Cyberpunk 2077 five years after launch for good reason. It’s still a high watermark for in-game graphics.

Now it’s coming to Apple’s Mac products, and the fanfare has been far more subdued. We’ll see how well it performs when it hits the scene on July 17.

On a recent weekday, I sent an Instagram message to a friend of mine, an art adviser in New York named Stephen Truax, to gossip about an exhibition. Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to say that he’d blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime working hours. Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such a feat.
