The software supply chain attack that resulted in the compromise of npm packages of Axios, an extremely popular HTTP client library, is believed to be the work of financially-motivated North Korean attackers. Links to UNC1069 On March 31, 2026, unknown attackers managed to publish two backdoored Axios npm packages after gaining access to a maintainer’s npm account. The malicious versions introduced a hidden dependency containing a post-install script, and this script executed automatically during installation and attempted to download and run additional payloads from the attacker-controlled infrastructure.

Music listening can be as simple as you make it, or it can become a very expensive and complicated hobby quickly. There is a seemingly never-ending list of features, upgrades, and settings you can use to improve or change the way your music sounds.

Sound quality is subjective, so you might love a feature or setting the person beside you hates. There’s no better example of that principle than spatial audio. It’s one of the biggest buzzwords in the…
Hackers associated with the Iranian government are trying to make it harder for cities in Israel and the Gulf states to respond to Iranian missile strikes by disrupting their Microsoft 365 platforms, according to a new report. The attacks, which took place on three separate occasions in March, primarily targeted organizations in Israel (more than 300 targets) and the United Arab Emirates (approximately 25 targets), researchers at the Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point Software Technologies said on Wednesday. Municipal governments were the most common target, which Check Point said could be because of their role in responding to the aftermath…
Bing appears to be testing a significantly expanded sponsored products section in its shopping search results, featuring a double-rowed carousel that takes up considerably more real estate than its current format. What was spotted: The test was flagged by Digital Marketer Sachin Patel, who noticed the expanded layout while searching for cushions on Bing. The format pairs a large double-rowed sponsored carousel with organic cards from individual websites beneath it. Why we care. If this format rolls out broadly, it means significantly more screen space dedicated to sponsored products — which typically translates to higher visibility and more clicks for…

A new malware-as-a-service called CrystalRAT is being promoted on Telegram, offering remote access, data theft, keylogging, and clipboard hijacking capabilities. The malware emerged in January with a tiered subscription model. Apart from the Telegram channel, the MaaS was also promoted on YouTube, via a dedicated marketing channel that showcased its capabilities. Kaspersky researchers say in a report today that the malware features strong similarities to WebRAT (Salat Stealer), including the same panel design, Go-based code, and a similar bot-based sales system. CrystalX also includes an extensive list of prankware features designed to annoy the user or disrupt their work. Despite its “fun” side,…

The compute improvements in Gazpacho are directly tied to what operators migrating from VMware have been requesting. The headline Nova feature is parallel live migrations. The concept of a live migration in VMware is commonly known as vMotion and is often cited as a critical feature by users in their deployments. Previously, live migration in OpenStack used a single memory transfer connection to copy VM memory from one host to another. The process works by copying the full memory state, then copying incremental deltas until no delta remains and the cutover can complete. That transfer ran as a single thread.…
