The worm, dubbed Shai-Hulud, has all the hallmarks of malware released last month as freely available open source. TeamPCP was the first group to use Shai-Hulud, and it promoted a competition that promised a $1,000 payment to the hacker who carried out the biggest supply-chain attack using the malware. TeamPCP has also been behind a rash of previous supply-chain attacks. Now that the worm is in the hands of many other threat groups, supply-chain attacks may ramp up further. The malware devotes considerable attention to CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) systems, which allow for faster and more reliable software releases by…

After years of not being featured in any of the seasonal stories, Lifeweaver, my support main and a pansexual king, is finally getting a bit of the spotlight. Sadly, it may have killed a years-long fan theory that Blizzard would spark a romance between him and ex-Talon mercenary Baptiste, but it did give the plant-based healer a new beau. This year’s Pride Month story is essentially a team-up comic for Lifeweaver and Venture, Overwatch’s non-binary archaeologist. “The Deep-Sea Deception” brings…

But the flagship RTX Spark PC may be from the same company that makes Windows: the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra is a high-end RTX Spark system that will offer up to 128GB of unified memory for “creators, developers, and AI builders.” Microsoft says the Laptop Ultra will be available “later this year” but didn’t discuss any specific pricing or configuration options.

Bennett Foddy, the independent game designer behind QWOP and Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy and one of the masterminds behind Baby Steps, is known for making notoriously tricky games with wonky movement, but overall uplifting vibes. So I probably shouldn’t be surprised that when I asked him to talk to me about a game that had inspired his work for a new article series I’m trying to spin up, he came to me with Super Mario Sunshine. Confession: I am also a Super Mario Sunshine lover. It is actually, for real, probably my favorite Mario game, and it certainly…
Both ZachXBT and Dark Web Informer also confirmed how hackers had targeted and resold particularly valuable Instagram accounts, including the short handles @hey and @jowo with a “combined gray-market valuation estimated above $1 million,” according to the CyberSec Guru.

“Even though I was super cautious on the first day, trying it out with a limited number of uses, it still consumed 840 credits,” one user wrote of testing Claude Sonnet 4.6 through Copilot today. “I haven’t even done any really complex work yet,” another user complained after reported usage representing 21 percent of their monthly Pro Copilot subscription’s credit allotment in a single day. “I have a feeling I’ll be going somewhere else pretty soon.” Using all 8,000 of your org’s monthly AI credits in a single day is… probably not sustainable.
