The new model arrives June 16 for $400 Sennheiser Nearly four years after Sennheiser debuted its Momentum 4 headphones, the company is back with their successor. The new Momentum 5 Wireless carries a very similar design to its predecessor, which means nearly all of the changes are on the inside. The company is promising big upgrades to both sound and active noise cancellation (ANC), but there are a few caveats on the spec sheet. The main one being the Momentum 5 is $50 more than the Momentum 4. The Momentum 5 uses the same 42mm transducers…
Before a single file is encrypted, ransomware runs a full staged operation on the endpoint: it achieves persistence via registry modifications, extracts credentials from memory using tools like Mimikatz, maps the network, moves laterally across systems using RDP or PsExec, stages and exfiltrates data, disables security tools, and deletes shadow copies. Each phase leaves distinct forensic artifacts that investigators can recover and sequence. That’s why endpoint forensics often tells the full story of an attack even after the affected systems have been wiped.
We have been waiting for the Ferrari Luce for eight years.It was January 2018 when, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, former Ferrari chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne first hinted at a “prancing horse” EV to compete with Tesla.“If there is an electric supercar to be built, then Ferrari will be the first,” Marchionne said. “People are amazed at what Tesla did with a supercar: I’m not trying to minimize what Elon, did but I think it’s doable by all of us.”Well, Ferrari has not been the first. But it has certainly taken the award for most…
Today, we welcome the 45th government onboarded to Have I Been Pwned’s free gov service: Bhutan. The Bhutan Computer Incident Response Team, BtCIRT, now has access to monitor Bhutanese government domains against the data in HIBP. As Bhutan’s national CIRT, BtCIRT is responsible for consuming threat intelligence and sharing relevant insights with its constituents, helping identify and respond to cyber risks affecting government services and the people who depend on them.This is exactly the sort of organisation the HIBP government service was built to support: national cybersecurity teams using breach data to identify leaked credentials and compromised databases associated with…
Patrick Holland/CNETAlmost a year since its announcement, and nine months after its planned launch, the Trump phone has finally arrived — albeit looking different to the one originally unveiled.The Trump phone, officially known as the Trump Mobile T1, arrived with us this week. CNET placed a preorder with a $100 deposit in June 2025, and it’s worth noting that Trump Mobile expedited our shipment so we could review the T1. (Most phone companies set aside review units for journalists, but Trump Mobile didn’t do this.) It’s also unclear if people who placed a preorder and aren’t members of the media have…
I spent five years inside Microsoft Corp.’s Windows business during an era when Dell Technologies Inc. was a top-volume partner. These two companies sold in lockstep. Every Dell personal computer shipped a Windows license, every enterprise agreement was reinforced by a Dell hardware refresh, and the joint business motion dictated the architecture of the modern office. Sitting at the keynote at Dell Technologies World last week, a decade and a half later, what is striking is not that the PC is back at the center of the strategic conversation, though it is. It is that the geometry has completely inverted.…
Ravie LakshmananMay 25, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking Monday recap. Same mess, new week. A sketchy dev tool got people pwned, old bugs came back from the dead, and security products somehow needed protecting from themselves. A bunch of companies spent the week checking old boxes and forgotten servers they should’ve patched years ago. Good times. Phishing crews are getting smarter too – less obvious scam junk, more targeted stuff that actually looks real. Meanwhile, botnets are grabbing anything exposed to the internet like it’s free candy. The Internet’s still a dumpster fire. Let’s get into it. ⚡ Threat of the Week…
Homegrown jewellery brand State Property is now sold beside luxury giants worldwide Singapore is not short of jewellery stores. From the gleaming counters of Cartier and Tiffany at Ion Orchard to the indie labels that have quietly multiplied over the past decade, the options are vast. But in 2015, when Afzal Imram and his wife Lin Ruiyin launched State Property, there was a specific gap they felt no one was filling—fine jewellery that led with design rather than gemstones. 10 years on, that conviction has taken them from a home workshop to retail shelves in the US, the Middle East,…
If you have ever tried to book a hotel online and found yourself unsettled by the AI chatbot trying to help you, science has your back. New study from Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences confirms that hotel booking chatbots are genuinely creeping people out, and it is actually hurting bookings. What is giving hotel chatbots their creep factor? Monkey Business Images/Shutterstock Researchers surveyed 340 adults in the UK who had used chatbots to book hotels and found three main culprits behind the ick factor: inaccuracy, deceptive behavior, and intrusiveness. Inaccuracy was by far the biggest offender, triggering…
