Microsoft security teams are tracking more than 35 unique ransomware families and 250 threat actors across nation-state, ransomware and criminal activities. RaaS, it says, is a gig economy involving multiple actors around three key pillars. “In the same way our traditional economy has shifted toward gig workers for efficiency, criminals are learning that there’s less work and less risk involved by renting or selling their tools for a portion of the profits than performing the attacks themselves,” Microsoft Security says in a blogpost....

Recently, Razer has decided to stray from this form factor and begin moving towards designs with smaller, oval earcups. At the top end of this wave of headsets sits the Blackshark V2 Pro.

A good chunk of the market is dominated by Samsung, whether it’s the company’s latest Z Fold 4 or Z Flip 4, or one of its now-discounted but older models that are just as enticing to upgrade to.
