Moor Studio/Getty With so much news about data breaches, you have to be careful not to panic each time you hear of a new one. Take the latest report of a major breach. In the headline for a recent story published by Cybernews, the cybersecurity media outlet said that 16 billion passwords were exposed in a record-breaking data breach, opening access to Facebook, Google, Apple, and any other service imaginable. Sounds scary, right? But reading the story itself paints a different picture. Also:

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

wired.com Brad Bourque 2025-09-04 09:03:00

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system.

An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping
