Hackers steal Microsoft logins using legitimate ADFS redirects

Hackers are using a novel technique that combines legitimate office.com links with Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) to redirect users to a phishing page that steals Microsoft 365 logins. The method lets attackers bypass traditional URL-based detection and the multi-factor authentication process by leveraging a trusted domain on Microsoft's infrastructure for the initial redirect.

Apple Is Making All Four iPhone 17 Models in India in a 'Watershed' Pivot From China, Report Says

Apple is manufacturing all four of its iPhone 17 models in India ahead of next month's launch, according to Bloomberg. That marks a first for the company, as it tries to mitigate the effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs on products produced in China. The production is taking place at five Indian factories. Tata Group is managing half of the manufacturing in new plants in the southern state Tamil Nadu and Taiwan's Foxconn will be manufacturing iPhones near the Bangalore airport. Apple di

Could These Be the iPhone 17's New Colors We've Been Waiting For?

The rumored iPhone 17 could be announced in less than a month. There are plenty of rumors flying around about what we can expect from Apple's upcoming smartphone, like a redesigned camera and a bigger battery. But if you're all about Apple's aesthetics, design and sleekness, you're probably eyeing what colors the iPhone 17 could come in. The iPhone 16 came in a few color waves, including the traditional black and white we've seen for years. But we also saw pink, teal and ultramarine for base m

What iPad mini and iPadOS 26 can teach us about the future of iOS

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more. But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience. It was just how many iPads supported all of these features, including the iPad mini. After installing iPadOS 26 on

Microsoft reportedly fixing SSD failures caused by Windows updates

Recently released Windows 11 24H2 updates are reportedly causing data corruption and failure issues for some SSD and HDD models on up-to-date systems. This issue was first reported on Friday by a Japanese PC building enthusiast who saw drives with Phison NAND controllers disappearing from the OS during heavy write operations (like writing large files or many files at once) after installing the KB5063878 security update and the KB5062660 preview update. While some of the impacted drives were re

Last-minute Pixel 10 leak suggests controversial change is really happening

Google TL;DR A new leak appears to show Pixel 10 packaging with a message about eSIM setup. The image would support earlier claims that most Pixel 10 models may drop physical SIM trays. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still expected to support hardware SIMs. With the Google Pixel 10 series launch less than 24 hours away, one question that remains after the many leaks and rumors is whether the phones will ditch physical SIM cards. A new image from reliable leaker Evan Blass might be our biggest clue

iPhone 17 Pro may be a tougher sell than ever before

10 Pixels in, the purpose of a Google-made smartphone remains the same

Google didn't need to make its own smartphone. Even though the company spent several years having other manufacturers build phones it could slap its "Nexus" branding on, selling hardware is not core to Google's business. Things like advertising and Search still handily dwarf the inroads the company's made as a smartphone manufacturer, and that will likely remain true for the foreseeable future. Compared to the contributions the iPhone makes to Apple's bottom line, the Pixel has always, in some

iPhone 17 Pro case line may have new leather alternative after flawed FineWoven

It’s been a while since Apple dropped leather and replaced it with FineWoven — only to mostly drop FineWoven over customer feedback. Now leaker Majin Bu says Apple has yet another leather alternative ready to go for the iPhone 17 case lineup. To recap, Apple stopped selling all leather products, including iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands, in an effort to be more eco-friendly and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

Is the Camera Control button one of the biggest iPhone flops? [Poll]

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it. The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature … The Camera Control button was introduced in the two iPhone 16 Pro models a little under a year ago, and Apple made a pretty big deal of it at the time. A hardware control was something I’d wished for pri

As a Pixel expert, here are 5 reasons you shouldn’t pre-order a Pixel 10 tomorrow

Google is getting ready to unveil its four new Pixel 10 phones tomorrow, and, unlike several of my Android Authority colleagues who think the phones aren’t exciting — even boring — I personally think there’s a lot to look forward to. I love that we’re getting built-in Qi2 charging, a new TSMC-made processor, larger batteries and faster charging, and proper tele zoom on the base Pixel 10. The 100x zoom on the Pro phones also feeds into my addiction to snap photos from very far away in sports stad
