Fortnite has quietly become the easiest way to prove that cloud gaming works without a wallet. No Xbox console, no Game Pass Ultimate, no download. Sign in with a free Microsoft account at xbox.com/play, pick a device, and you are dropped into a match streamed from a Microsoft data center. That setup has been live…
The FBI confirmed on September 26, 2026 that it is dealing with what the bureau called a “cybersecurity incident,” following claims from the extortion group ShinyHunters that it stole more than two terabytes of employee data from the FBI’s own jobs portal, FBIJobs.gov. The confirmation, first reported by NewsNation and picked up by outlets including…
Upgrading a graphics card sounds simple until you actually open the case. Between the new 12V-2×6 power connectors on RTX 50-series cards, PCIe 5.0 clearance issues, and the RAM and storage price spikes squeezing 2026 PC budgets, a GPU swap has more failure points than it did five years ago. Search interest in “how to…
Four months after Oracle patched a critical remote-code-execution hole in PeopleSoft, the attackers who broke in through it are back. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group and its Mandiant incident-response unit say the extortion crew tracked as ShinyHunters, internally designated UNC6240, has resumed widespread exploitation of CVE-2026-35273 by disguising its attack traffic so that web application firewalls…
A Chromebook was never built to run games. There is no dedicated GPU inside a $300 laptop with an Intel N-series chip, and ChromeOS was designed around browser tabs, not DirectX calls. Yet by September 2026, three companies have quietly turned that limitation into a selling point: NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon all now offer a…
Every Kubernetes cluster eventually hits the same wall: the built-in Secret object just encodes values in base64, and base64 is not encryption. Once a team notices that anyone with read access to a namespace can decode a database password in five seconds, the search for a real secrets strategy begins. Three names come up in…
Corporate VPNs are dying a slow death, and the three companies racing to bury them just gave buyers a lot to think about in a single month. Twingate’s top self-serve tier, Business, is priced at $10 per user per month. Tailscale, meanwhile, quietly finished a shift from usage-based billing to flat per-seat pricing back in…
Every enterprise now ships more APIs than webpages, and attackers know it. Salt Security, Wallarm, and Akamai API Security (the product born from Akamai’s 2024 purchase of Noname Security) have become the three names that show up most often when security teams search for a dedicated way to find, watch, and defend the endpoints that…
The Federal Communications Commission handed the broadband and wireless industries a narrow but consequential win on September 23, 2026. The agency’s Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) granted expedited, one-year waivers to CTIA and USTelecom—The Broadband Association, letting suppliers serving their members make “necessary” hardware modifications to consumer routers and gateways that had already cleared…
xAI shipped Grok 4.7 to the public API on September 21, 2026, and the model listing now sits behind documentation that carries a new “SpaceXAI Docs” header at docs.x.ai. If you have not touched the Grok API since Grok 4.5 or Grok 4.6, the pricing, the context window, and the reasoning controls have all shifted…
