Federal Judge Slaps Down Biden Administration Over Illegal, Last Minute Amnesty Program

Apple has taken yet another step in busting down barriers between green and blue bubbles. As spotted by The Verge this week, reactions (called Tapbacks on iOS) sent by Android devices to iPhones now appear on top of the message as intended. As The Verge notes, an Android user reacting to a message sent from an iOS device previously resulted in a separate message on a new line with the emoji used and the content of the original message. This led to cluttered conversations and was one common reason to avoid group texts with Android and iOS users. After all these years, it's no longer an issue. The Verge found out by happenstance, as neither Apple nor Google have announced anything. To test the change, the publication sent a series of text messages and emoji reactions between iPhones running iOS 18.1 and multiple Android phones. In either direction, the emoji reactions showed up as they should—in line with the original message. Apple began supporting Google's Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard in iOS 18, but the interoperability between Android and iOS was still inferior. For instance, an RCS message is still unencrypted, and green bubbles aren't going anywhere. That said, The Verge's discovery goes to show that Apple and Google aren't done improving the synergy between iPhones and Android devices. Apple most likely would have preferred to never support the standard at all, but now the EU and China have forced its hand, there's not much to gain in impeding communication between devices.

Windows gamers are the latest target in the Winos4.0 campaign, according to a new threat analysis from security researchers at FortiGuard Labs. The report suggests that the malware is hiding within various gaming-related applications, such as speed boosters and optimization utilities. This particular malware is one that has been known for a while. It was built from the ashes of GhostRat, another malware framework designed to take over control of the target computers it infects. Much like GhostRat, Winos4.0 can take over your computer, giving the hacker full control of the system. It’s a very advanced malware framework with a lot of effective online endpoint controls that support a ton of different functions the threat actors can take advantage of. After you install the infected application, a fake bitmap image is downloaded from a server. The image extracts a dynamic link library that is loaded onto your system. This is then deployed deep into the target computer, giving control at a root system level. A successful installation of Winos4.0 gives the threat actors access to everything on your system. They can check for crypto wallet extensions and anti-virus extensions, gather and send encoded system information back to the control server, capture screenshots of your system, and even manage documents. If your system becomes infected with this particular malware, then you’re likely in for a world of hurt. This isn’t as simple as an Android malware that steals your money and wipes your accounts. No, this framework can take full control of your system and anything that it has access to. To avoid Winos4.0, be aware of where all your downloads are coming from, and check their sources before installing.
