Today, in stories stranger than fiction—you know, like when technology just won't update itself—Operation Moonlander finally unhooked a two-decade-old botnet. Four suspects thought they found a retirement plan but instead found handcuffs. Meanwhile, Medusa ransomware waved its wand over the Russell Child Development Center, proving that data security needs more than just a security blanket to stay safe.
Bluetooth 6.1 is stepping up to the privacy plate with its randomized RPA timing, gifting us with a little more privacy while our smart devices plot their next move—it's like tech hide and seek where we might actually win for once.
Elsewhere, ransomware rookie Mamona keeps cyber teams on their toes by swinging the Windows' ping command like an offline nunchaku. But fear not! Researchers have brewed up a decryption cocktail to unravel its wicked threads.
And lastly, in courtroom drama worthy of sci-fi, a deepfake brought the deceased back to the stand. Who knew impact statements could get so... posthumously personal?
