Extortion group FulcrumSec has claimed responsibility for a breach at Manchester Airports Group, saying it stole roughly 86GB of customer data across Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports. BleepingComputer verified sample records against a real traveler's purchase history, finding detailed booking, payment and travel information beyond what MAG initially disclosed. The hackers allege they used exposed Iterable API credentials found in client-side JavaScript to access the data, including nearly 200,000 records tied to travel scheduled through 2026.
WIRED's testing roundup for 2026 mesh Wi-Fi systems highlights different products for different needs: the Asus ZenWifi BD5 Outdoor as a weatherproof, PoE-powered node for existing Asus AiMesh setups, TP-Link's tri-band Deco BE67 as a strong all-around Wi-Fi 7 performer despite some setup glitches, and the budget Netgear Orbi 370 as a dual-band system that struggled badly with satellite-node speeds in real-world testing. The TP-Link Deco BE25 is also named a top pick for outdoor coverage on non-Asus networks.
Android Authority outlines five foldable phones that could serve as alternatives to Google's new $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold, including Motorola's Razr Fold and Razr Ultra, plus Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra. The comparison highlights that despite the Pixel 11 Pro Fold being thinner and lighter than its predecessor, it has a smaller battery than last year's model and faces stiff competition on price, charging speed, and battery capacity.
Anthropic has notified a group of Claude users that infostealer malware on their PCs siphoned off active login sessions, letting attackers access their accounts and burn through usage limits. The company is signing out affected accounts, stripping saved payment details, and refunding charges tied to the unauthorized activity while it continues investigating the source.
A wave of screen-free fitness trackers—including the Garmin Cirqa, Google Fitbit Air, Polar Loop, Amazfit Helio Strap, and Whoop—are gaining traction by design: they collect health data continuously but require almost no daily interaction. Bloomberg reports Apple is reportedly exploring its own take on the format, signaling the trend could expand into mainstream smartwatch territory.
Security firm Socket uncovered a campaign, active since early 2024, in which 16 malware modules were pushed through browser extensions on the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge add-ons store. Five extensions were initially legitimate but were bought from their original developers and later turned malicious via automatic updates, including one tool with roughly 70,000 Chrome users and 10,000 Edge users. Once activated, the extensions connected to remote servers to strip website security headers, inject phishing scripts, and drain cryptocurrency wallets on platforms like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken and MetaMask.
WIRED's latest label maker guide highlights Brother's PT-n25bt as a top pick, praising its simple QWERTY-keyboard operation, built-in cutter, and LCD preview screen that let users create custom tags in under a minute.

Reggie Overton, who calls himself a Tesla ambassador with no formal ties to the company, says a 2.3-mile Robotaxi trip in Austin gave wildly inconsistent arrival estimates ranging from 16 to over an hour. After multiple calls to support failed to fix the routing issue, he and his companion exited the vehicle and hailed an Uber instead. Tesla only issued a refund after his complaint went viral online.
Android 17 introduced Pause Point, a Digital Wellbeing tool that makes users pause before opening distracting apps, but Google restricted it to the new Pixel 11 series. A reviewer found a free third-party app called Stroll that offers a similar function on any Android phone, requiring users to walk in order to earn time on time-wasting apps.
A YouGov survey found that 34 percent of U.S. adults under 30 belong to at least four group chats, with 3 percent managing more than 20 separate threads across text and messaging apps. The report frames this as evidence that group chats have become the default tool for organizing nearly every social interaction, from book clubs to family reunions.
A developer has resumed work on DNet, a self-built network stack originally created while studying computer networking, after leaving it dormant for four years. The project handles TAP device creation, Ethernet frame parsing, ARP, ICMPv4, and UDP, and now includes a basic DNS server used as the authoritative resolver for the author's DN42 domain 42420167.xyz.
NASA sent the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope into orbit on Sunday, equipping it with a 2.4-meter mirror matching Hubble's but pairing it with a 300-megapixel Wide Field Instrument. That camera can capture images at least 100 times larger than Hubble's per shot and scan the sky roughly 1,000 times faster, letting it map billions of stars and galaxies and search for around 100,000 exoplanets.
