Google says hackers are abusing Gemini to speed up cyberattacks, and it isn’t limited to cheesy phishing spam.

Windows will start prompting you when an app reaches for device or data access, and…

The timing lines up with the series’ 20th anniversary in March 2026, which makes this feel like a deliberate look back while the franchise keeps moving forward. The first three God of War games debuted on PS2, and Sony says the new versions are being…
