Of course, scanning content for Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) is not new. Many cloud storage services already do this, but Apple has not added the feature until now because the company was concerned about breach of privacy. Cupertino thinks it has solved this issue and is launching the feature. However, many commentators think Apple has not found a way to bypass privacy concerns and the new tool is in fact breaching user privacy....

A malicious Excel document is sent with a small Shockwave Flash Active X object. The object downloads an obfuscated downloader flash application. It utilizes URLs in the object to download a payload encrypted with 512-bit RSA key. Thankfully, researchers at Paloalto were able to crack the encryption in a matter of hours. The 512-bit key length is insecure and able to be broken with some effort. Rather than throwing a personal supercomputer at the issue, researchers can use cloud computing to discover the decrypted AES key....

Still, there are some titles we can infer from release patterns, rumors, and announcements from last year. You can bet that Gears of War 5 will feature, alongisde a new Forza Motorsport and more Halo Infinite. All these series are pretty well established by now but still likely to excite long-time fans.

One of the databases, a backup from 2011 app ‘At the Pool’, contained 22,000 plaintext passwords and other user information.

You’ll be able to upgrade from versions of Windows 7 and 8.1, avoiding the regular $120. The only requirement is the use of some form of accessibility tech, but Microsoft doesn’t check. As a result, anyone with the earlier OSes can upgrade for free. Currently, it’s unclear why it still exists. The offer has a very clear end date, and it could lose Microsoft a lot of money. Our best guess is that things are very busy just after the holiday season, and the company is yet to change things up....

Sure, cryptocurrency is still nascent, but it is becoming more influential. Google denying advertising could hamper that growth. In a release, the company says the ban will extend across all its products, including YouTube....

The title’s launch on Xbox One is a big win, being an immensely popular game even years after its launch. Of course, that also means many people will own it already, but this is an incentive for them to jump back in with friends who don’t.

There, Rockstar has been pushing plenty of updates and making a bomb with its shark cards, which let you trade real money for in-game cash....
