Russian hackers may have infiltrated more targets in the US than previously thought, new reports have claimed. More information has come to light regarding a Russian hack that targeted US airports earlier this year. The New York Times reports that the hack was carried out by a state-backed group known as “Dragonfly” or “Energetic Bear,” which has also recently been found infiltrating state and local government computer systems. Back in March, the collective hacked into Wi-Fi systems at San Francisco International Airport and two other airports on the US’ West Coast. An analysis of the attack indicated that the hackers were likely searching for a specific individual to infect. Instead of compromising the hundreds of thousands of people that would have connected to the airports’ Wi-Fi networks, only 10 were. VPN providers have long stressed that airport networks represent a security risk, encouraging travellers to adopt a VPN solution to keep themselves protected. Given the time and resources at the disposal of hackers like Energetic Bear, all available safeguards should be employed. Election time In 2016, reports of Russian interference in the US presidential election surfaced and it appears likely that the same will happen again as Donald Trump prepares to take on Joe Biden in his bid for a second term. It is thought that Energetic Bear is attempting to infiltrate state and local government networks by first targeting random individuals before using that foothold to find more interesting targets. The hackers are unlikely to reveal their true aim until nearer to the election, however, which takes place on November 3. Given that Energetic Bear has already claimed some high-profile targets with its previous hacks, US government officials will be on high alert. In recent years, the group stands accused of infiltrating energy systems in Germany and the US, including a nuclear power plant.

If the CPU is the brain of your gaming system, then the monitor is just as much the eyes as your graphics card is. Use an inferior model and you’ll see much less than you would with a high refresh rate, high resolution alternative – and without one, well… you wouldn’t see anything at all. Investing a healthy amount into the best gaming monitor for you prevents you from suffering through washed out colours, slideshow-like frame rates, and smudged images, effectively saving you money in the long-run. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or shopping for an upgrade, it’s always best taking the plunge during a sale – and it just so happens that Gigabyte has cut the price of its FI27Q range. Over on Amazon US, the Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q-P gaming monitor is currently on sale for $549.99, $100 (15%) cheaper than its MSRP. Those in the UK can also save some money on the non-P variant of the FI27Q, at £466.18, £52.81 (10%) off its £519 price tag. If you’re confused about the differences, don’t worry, we’ll explain. Both the FI27Q and FI27Q-P have near-identical specifications when compared side-by-side. They both have a 1440p resolution 27-inch screen surrounded by thin bezels and are more than capable of pushing a 165Hz refresh rate. Each of them even supports both G-Sync and FreeSync, pleasing those on both sides of the Nvidia/AMD divide. The first noticeable difference is with DisplayPort support. The FI27Q uses DisplayPort 1.2, which is more than capable of pushing its advertised 165Hz at 1440p so long as you’re using an 8-bit colour depth. If you push things up to 10-bit, you’ll be stuck with 120Hz max, unless you’re using the FI27Q-P, which can go the full length with DisplayPort 1.4. And the second lies in Gigabyte’s Black Equalizer feature, which lets you adjust the gamma of the screen on-the-fly with buttons on the underside of the screen – perfect for exposing enemies hiding in dark corners. While the first generation of this feature works perfectly fine on the FI27Q, the improvements that Black Equalizer 2.0 brings to the FI27Q-P mean that your screen is much less blown out as you crank the gamma up. You can’t go wrong with either display at this price, however, so grab yourself a bargain while stocks last. VIEW DEAL

The Mercedes-AMG One is coming, and Mercedes isn't short in letting the world about its development. As we have seen in a previous track testing footage, the German marque is still in the tweaking stages – a process that could be testing the patience of those who have already committed to buying each of the 275 examples of the F1-powered hypercar. If you're among the one-percenters who will be shedding $2.75 million from their bank accounts, well, you'll be glad to hear these rumors we gathered for the AMG One. Gallery: AMG One New Spy Photos: According to The Supercar Blog, there are reports saying that exterior changes will come with the AMG One, including what is being called a "larger fixed aerodynamic part at the rear." While that's kind of vague and considering that the prototype shown in the track testing video (below) comes with an active rear spoiler, the next one's more definite. Rumors say that there will be four exhaust pipes at the rear and not three as previously seen on the prototypes. The wheel designs will be different, as well, but that's pretty much a given. More importantly, the 1.6-liter V6 hybrid E-turbo powertrain is currently being tweaked by Mercedes-Benz. Reports suggest that the whole ensemble of engine and electric motors will produce a combined output of 1,200 horsepower (895 kilowatts). Of course, take these details with a healthy dose of skepticism since these bits are not yet confirmed by the brand. We can also guarantee that the 275 would-be owners of the AMG One would have known those changes by now, so yeah it's just for us mere mortals to speculate on. We'll know more whether these updates are true when the AMG One hits the limelight next year, with deliveries expected to begin by the second quarter of 2021.

Adobe Inc. debuted a software tool to help media creators prove their images are real, the latest move by the maker of Photoshop to combat the spread of deepfake technology. An attribution tool for Photoshop and Behance, a social-media service owned by Adobe, will be available for testing in the coming weeks and generally released in 2021, the San Jose, California-based company said Tuesday in a statement. The software feature will let creators tag pictures with their names as well as the history and location of edits, to provide more transparency to a public growing increasingly skeptical of digital images. Adobe is undertaking this project as part of the Content Authenticity Initiative, a coalition of technology and media companies including Microsoft Corp., Twitter Inc., the British Broadcasting Corp. and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. These partners hope to build a new, open-source digital standard to help consumers online distinguish between genuine images and misinformation. Microsoft last month released a tool to help analyze videos and photos and provide a score indicating the chance that those images have been mani[CENSORED]ted. The coalition's effort is meant to build trust for images that feature transparent data and be more distrustful of pictures of unknown provenance. Adobe doesn't generally weigh in on political matters, but Dana Rao, the company's executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, said he feared Americans would "disengage" from the political process due to online disinformation. "We're worried that if people lose faith in facts that we aren't going to be able to have any conversations about moving the country forward," Rao said in an interview. "If none of us can agree on what is actually happening, we can't have a policy discussion." Rao said he wishes he could go back in time five years and undertake the initiative then, but believes the technology may help in the elections in two and four years. Adobe's photo-editing products have made image mani[CENSORED]tion mainstream. Photoshop and Lightroom are ubiquitous applications used to airbrush magazine covers, create art, and in some instances, to misinform the public. Rao said that in 99% of cases, customers use Adobe's software in "productive, beautiful ways." Rao said Adobe's tool doesn't try to detect deepfakes because artificial intelligence will make it increasingly difficult to keep up with and identify those fraudulent images. Instead, the company is trying to help consumers avoid mani[CENSORED]tion by authenticating real digital images. While Adobe's Photoshop engineers sometimes help law enforcement examine images of child abduction or exploitation for photo mani[CENSORED]tion, the company doesn't have enough people to quickly evaluate and call out a wave of political disinformation about the Nov. 3 U.S. election. "This is what we're referring to internally as our digital citizenship," Rao said of the effort against deepfakes. "We are committed to ensuring our technology and the use of our technology benefits society."

A Halo movie has been in various stages of production, with some of the biggest names in Hollywood attached, for over 15 years. Back in the mid-2000s, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water director Guillermo Del Toro was looking to adapt the FPS game, and his ideas were creative, to say the least. The revelation comes from a discussion featuring several of the developers on 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved (cheers, IGN). Marcus Lehto, Marty O’Donnell, Paul Russel, Paul Bertone, and Jaime Griesemer all take part in the conversation, all while reacting to a speedrun by Halo speedrunner GarishGoblin. The expected stories and tidbits on the development of the original game are traded, but towards the end, Russel delivers an inside scoop on Del Toro’s vision for a Halo film. According to him, the Hellboy and Crimson Peak filmmaker wanted to give Master Chief a twin, that would have defected and joined The Flood. “Master Chief had a twin brother, and the twin brother sided with The Flood,” Russel explains. “And then the end of the movie was going to be brother against brother.” Russel elaborates that Del Toro pitched his idea to what’s presumed to be Joseph Staten, Combat Evolved’s writer and cinematic director, at Staten’s house. “Del Toro was pitching this to Joe at his house. He was punching Joe on the arm and going, ‘And they’re brothers! And they’re going to fight at the end!'” Nobody else in the video can confirm or deny this happened, but Russel’s adamant he can find someone to back him up. It sounds like it was just an idea, something Del Toro was thinking about. He did put together a script with D. B. Weiss, of Game of Thrones fame, but eventually left the nascent Halo production to do Hellboy 2: The Golden Army in 2006 or so. You can see the full video below, with the above occurring around 58:54: Two live-action Halo projects have made it screens since: 2012’s Halo: Forward Unto Dawn, and the Ridley Scott-produced Halo: Nightfall in 2015. A Steven Spielberg-produced TV series is due next year, as is the upcoming game, Halo Infinite.

Mozilla is experimenting with a new feature for Firefox that's intended to improve security by isolating each site's content within its own sandbox. As ZDNet explains, site isolation was first deployed in Chrome back in 2018, but has only now become available for testing in Firefox. So why is site isolation important? In theory, websites shouldn't be able to access data from one another, but bugs happen, and it's possible that a malicious site could use a security vulnerability to access sensitive data from another site open at the same time. Our complete guide to the best browsers The best Chromebooks of 2020 On a budget? Here are the best cheap Chromebooks Google rolled out site isolation with Chrome 67 in 2018, which happened to coincide with the discovery of the Spectre and Meltdown CPU security flaws. These could have allowed hackers to access private information including passwords and encryption keys (a risk known as a side-channel attack), and had been present in chip designs for over 20 years. Following the discover of Meltdown and Spectre, Mozilla announced that it would be following in Google's footsteps with an internal project called Project Fission, which would also add site isolation to Firefox. The project has been a long process involving major code re-writes, but site isolation is at last available to users running Firefox Nightly. You can test it using the following instructions (bearing in mind that Firefox Nightly is an unstable build and shouldn't be used as your main browser): Download and install Firefox Nightly Open Firefox Nightly and click the menu button at the top right Select 'Options', then click 'Nightly Experiments' Check the box marked 'Fission (Site Isolation)' Restart the browser

BDY electronics, a Chinese laptop manufacturer, has unveiled an all-new 13.3" laptop sporting Longsoon's new Dragon Core 3A4000 quad-core 14nm CPU. The laptop is pretty simple; aesthetically, it features a black shell with red accents on the monitor and sides of the unit, plus red-accented keycaps. The laptop sports a 13.3-inch display and a weight of 1.55kg. For I/O, it's pretty basic with a single HDMI port, a USB Type-C port, and two USB 3.0 ports. For audio, you get a single audio jack plus four speakers. The biggest feature of this laptop is the CPU, featuring Longsoon's latest 14nm quad-core 3A4000 CPU. Longsoon claims the CPU is 100% faster than the previous generation 3A3000 and is comparable in performance to AMD's "Excavator" cores used in the A8-7680 Godavari architecture. Of course, this demonstrates how far behind Longsoon is from TSMC and Intel in performance, speed, and efficiency of its latest node. However, the chairman of Loongsoon Technologies, Hu Weiwu, says, "14nm and 28nm (for its GPU node) is enough for 90% of applications.," so it appears the company isn't too worried about catching up to the performance leaders like Intel and AMD. Due to this laptop being in the Chinese market, Windows is not supported at all. It only runs Chinese "domestic operating systems" that are typically modified versions of Linux. Fortunately, this does mean you can install any Linux flavor you want on the laptop, which can be handy if you don't want to run China-specific apps only. BYD has not announced a release date or pricing for the notebook; however, for anybody outside of China, it's pretty doubtful you'd want one anyway. You can find faster and better-featured laptops elsewhere if you live outside of China.

That big free update that was announced earlier this year for Sekiro: Shadows Dies Twice arrives in a few days, and we’ve a trailer showing it off a little. The content will be part of a new game of the year edition that’s Japan-only, for the time-being. Short and sweet, the thirty-second teaser runs through the bullet-points of the new features. Remnants are first, a recording of up-to 30 seconds of gameplay that can be uploaded and shared, so other players can see how good you are, and gleam valuable tips from your samurai know-how. Then there’s a montage of bloody kills, all part of the Reflections of Strength and Gauntlets of Strength, two sets of challenges, one old, one new. Reflections are rematches with any bosses you’ve defeated, accessible through any Sculptor’s Idol. You can test new strategies, or maybe just use them to warm-up for the Gauntlets, a fresh set of hurdles that each require completion in a single-life. Given this is From Software, expect these to be as tight and unforgiving as is humanly possible. Not given any emphasis in the clips but also included will be changeable costumes for the Souls-like game. Three in total can be unlocked, one from beating the game once, the other two from Gauntlets. These are purely cosmetic. You can watch the trailer below: The update rolls out October 28, and a special Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Game of the Year physical edition for PlayStation 4 comes out in Japan the next day that includes everything on disc, and a neat little guidebook for beginners. No word yet on if-or-when Europe will get the same, luckily we’ve a Sekiro bosses guide to keep you covered anyway.

Rumors are swirling about Bugatti's future. Will VW sell it? Has the company really halted the development of a second model? Those questions remain unanswered, but Bugatti did answer another. Earlier this week, the company teased a mysterious new model with X-shaped taillights, and today we have spy photos of the new hypercar at Circuit Paul Ricard in France. It looks wild. The car is still covered in camouflage, though it can't hide the coupe's wild shape. Bugatti's horseshoe-shaped grille remains, though it's tinier than ever sitting on the leading edge of the long, super-low nose. There's a massive roof scoop that likely feeds the quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine sitting behind the cabin. The camouflage makes it difficult to tell for sure, though it looks like the car's side has several intakes, vents, and other angular design elements. However, it's the rear that looks the wildest, and we don't have a good picture of that. Gallery: Mystery Bugatti Spy Photos: In June, there was a rumor about Bugatti building a one-off Chiron roadster, which also happened to stem from The Supercar Blog. The report claimed the company was charging the client around $11 million to get the open-roof model. Looking at this very dark teaser image, there's no obvious evidence that the vehicle has a roof. We have to wonder whether Bugatti is finally chopping off the roof of the Chiron.

Accepted!
