Pokémon Legends Z-A landed on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in October 2025, and within weeks the emulation scene had a working boot path for it. The catch is that the two emulators most players relied on for years, Yuzu and Ryujinx, no longer exist after Nintendo’s 2024 legal actions shut both down. Their replacements…
IDScan.net has stopped hedging. Nine days after KrebsOnSecurity first tied a dark-web marketplace called Nexus to a Louisiana-based identity-verification vendor, the company posted a notice confirming that hackers stole driver’s licenses from its cloud environment, including full names, driver’s license numbers, and identity numbers from other government-issued documents such as passports.

On September 8, 2026, Wccftech reported that the community modding team behind OptiScaler has packaged AMD’s newest FSR 4.1.1b upscaling model into a single DLL file that owners of Radeon RX 6000 GPUs can drop straight into a game folder.…
Japan’s National Police Agency confirmed 123 ransomware cases in the first six months of 2026, the highest half-year total since the agency began compiling this data in 2020.

AWS Security Hub turned into a genuinely different product this year. What used to be a finding aggregator that dumped GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie, and Config alerts into one dashboard is now billed as an “AI and multicloud security control plane,” according to reporting from SiliconANGLE in July 2026.
