The phone's hardware hasn't changed much from last year, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. With the new processor and a host of software improvements, Google says it's made its best camera phone yet. To test the company's boasts, I headed out onto the streets. I was testing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which has an identical camera setup to the base Pixel 10 Pro. Note, too, that to reduce file sizes for displa

Researchers are seeing exploitation attempts for the CVE-2025-48927 vulnerability in the TeleMessage SGNL app, which allows retrieving usernames, passwords, and other sensitive data. TeleMessage SGNL is a Signal clone app now owned by Smarsh, a compliance-focused company that provides cloud-based or on-premisses communication solutions to various organizations. Scanning for vulnerable endpoints Threat monitoring firm GreyNoise has observed multiple attempts to exploit CVE-2025-48927, likely b
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. That has left them prime targets by UNC6148, the name Google has given to the unknown hack
A threat actor has been deploying a previously unseen malware called OVERSTEP that modifies the boot process of fully-patched but no longer supported SonicWall Secure Mobile Access appliances. The backdoor is a user-mode rootkit that allows hackers to hide malicious components, maintain persistent access on the device, and steal sensitive credentials. Researchers at Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) observed the rootkit in attacks that may have relied on “an unknown, zero-day remote code

Hey friends! (Or just curious readers peeking under the hood of good old retro games). My previous article on calculating angles with integers was well-received. Several people wrote to me, some asked questions, others offered their own algorithm variations, and it turns out there are quite a few ZX Spectrum programming enthusiasts – it’s fascinating, and that’s what all this is for! In my new article, I wanted to talk in detail about drawing lines and other primitives on the Speccy, but I sud
