Italian YouTuber Faces Jail Time for Showing Android Handhelds With Emulated Games

There are countless Android-powered gaming handhelds, but they go beyond the usual slate of Android games by offering console emulation support.

This ‘G’ Tri-Fold Phone Bends in Ways That Make Me Uncomfortable

Darwinian evolution is speedrunning foldable phone development. “Z”-style folds from companies like the Huawei Mate XT collapse in a zig-zag pattern, exposing one side of the screen to the elements. The new alternate universe tri-fold could be Tecno’s Phantom Ultimate G Fold concept phone that literally wraps around itself like a big “G.” This actually may be the better way to do tri-folds, but Samsung would need to think long and hard about device integrity if it’s using this same design for it

Hackers Are Finding New Ways to Hide Malware in DNS Records

Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software. That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man
