43+ min ago (523+ words) France is now dealing with one of its most serious public sector cybersecurity incidents in recent years, after the Interior Ministry confirmed that attackers breached internal email systems and accessed internal files. However, what initially looked like a contained incident took on a very different tone once the newly relaunched BreachForums administrator, using the alias Indra, stepped forward, claimed responsibility, and publicly accused the government of downplaying how deep the intrusion really went. Originally, the breach was detected overnight between December 11 and 12, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nu'ez, who said attackers accessed several internal documents but stopped short of confirming any data theft. Speaking publicly, he acknowledged unauthorised access to ministry email servers while stressing that no evidence showed files were seriously compromised. Security procedures were tightened across government systems while a judicial investigation was launched. Behind the scenes, however,…...

Apple's iOS 26 rollout might have been highlighted for its shiny Liquid Glass UI and AI tricks, but the update snuck in a handy feature that will impact how you shoot videos on your iPhone, and it's probably not what you expect.

1+ hour, 9+ min ago (1327+ words) Properly use the ultra-wide camera and AI-motion engine Games don't have a lot of depth compared to mainstream consoles Play Pass is required for more games Frame rate issues with some games Anyone looking to go deeper into the console's library of games will need the Play Pass subscription service, which opens users up to over 40 games that, unfortunately, can't be purchased individually. Some folks may also have an issue with the service only being available in three-month $49 and one-year $89 intervals. Regardless, the variety of games does offer something for everyone, with age ranges split between preschool level to around 10 years old. It also helps that the Playground is kidSafe+ COPPA certified and lacks any online play capabilities. So games are family-friendly, lacking mature or inappropriate content here. Most of the games outside a handful lack depth, length or visual…...
