A source identified only as Cyberleek has released a 25-minute gameplay video from Grand Theft Auto VI containing significant story spoilers, as reported by Kotaku. The footage, which also promotes the leaker's memecoin, shows co-protagonist Jason fully nude and appears to suggest the game may be playable in that state. Rockstar has not commented, and the game remains on track for its November 19 release.
A tech explainer details Windows 11's SysMain feature, which preloads frequently used apps into RAM to speed performance, often making memory usage appear high even when not needed. The guide recommends checking Task Manager's Processes tab, restarting periodically to clear memory leaks, and disabling unnecessary startup apps, while cautioning against third-party memory cleaner tools.
Truffle Security scanned 224 million GitHub repositories and 58 billion files, finding 543,699 unique valid credentials repeated across more than 1.1 million files and forks. The median exposure time was 784 days, with 10% of credentials older than 6.3 years and the oldest dating to 2009. The figure is more than double the 221,303 working credentials the firm previously found scanning Hugging Face.
Renders attributed to leaker OnLeaks and published by Android Headlines show a Pixel 11A that looks nearly identical to the Pixel 9A and 10A, aside from a slightly rounder rear camera module and the same thick display bezels. A separate report from Mystic Leaks claims the phone will upgrade to Google's Tensor G6 chip, replacing the Tensor G4 used in the previous two A-series models. Android Headlines also reports the device will come in black, silver, green, and purple.
South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission has enacted rules allowing fines of up to 10% of a company's annual revenue for major data leaks caused by intent or gross negligence, up from the previous 3% cap. The new rules, effective Friday, apply when 10 million or more people's data is exposed, and also require firms to notify users within 72 hours even if a breach is only suspected. The heightened penalty targets repeat offenders within three years or firms that ignore corrective orders and are subsequently breached.
A technical write-up by Vlad Saioc examines how Go's goroutine-based concurrency model can produce 'leaked' goroutines that block indefinitely and never release memory or resources. The piece explains that while tools like the goleak library and Go 1.25's new synctest package help catch such leaks during unit testing, neither can reliably detect leaks in live production systems at scale, leaving goroutine profiles as one of the few practical diagnostic options.
A kill switch is a VPN feature that watches the encrypted tunnel between a device and a VPN server, cutting internet access the moment that connection weakens or fails. This stops a device's real IP address or DNS requests from leaking during outages or server switches, restoring access automatically once the secure tunnel resumes. The feature comes in two forms: app-level, which blocks only chosen programs, and system-level, which halts all network traffic on the device.
Scammers are circulating fake websites claiming to offer a downloadable GTA 6 demo, but Rockstar has not released any playable build. These sites are designed to trick eager fans into downloading malware disguised as game files.
Rockstar Games publicly acknowledged last week's leak of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay footage, calling the incident 'heartbreaking' for its team. The studio confirmed it will release an extended official look at the game the following day, while noting that the leak may have spoiled some content ahead of the November 19 launch.
Apple has silently fixed a flaw in iCloud Private Relay that allowed a user's real IP address to leak under three specific conditions, despite the feature being enabled. Security researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk, who discovered the issue and built a public tool to test for it, confirmed the fix landed in iOS 26.6.1 (and matching updates for other Apple platforms) though Apple did not disclose it in official release notes. The researchers noted the repair appears limited to Safari and was made without them first reporting it to Apple.
