The FBI is warning that some cybercriminals are breaking into social media and personal accounts with a specific goal. They want intimate photos and videos they can post online, sell through criminal marketplaces, or use to keep exploiting the victim after the account is compromised.

Criminals may use personal information exposed in earlier breaches to guess passwords or PINs. Others rely on phishing pages and fake support messages to trick people into surrendering account access. The warning also arrives alongside an…

The controller is also labeled as not for sale and carries placeholder regulatory information, giving the prototype explanation considerably more weight. Its new owner hasn’t exactly scored an early-access gaming session, though. The controller currently won’t…

During a regular workday, I text the same handful of people across three or four different apps. It’s mostly Teams or Slack for work, WhatsApp for sharing locations or personal stuff, and Instagram for Reels (mostly memes). On lighter days, it’s manageable, but when things get busy, keeping track of different conversations has genuinely thrown me off more than once. Beeper just shipped an update that solves that mess. The universal chat app can now compile conversations with the same person from different apps into a single chatbot. While this isn’t the only update that the platform has announced, it’s…

A matching DualSense gets the same yellow-and-black treatment, complete with scratches and slashes inspired by Logan’s claws. The whole collection arrives September 15 alongside Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine, with preorders opening August…
