Microsoft has unveiled a groundbreaking development in quantum computing: the Majorana 1 chip. Powered by a newly discovered state of matter, known as a topological superconductor or "topoconductor," this breakthrough could accelerate the transition of quantum computing from theory to real-world applications. But what does that mean? Unlike traditional computers, which process information in binary (0s and 1s), quantum computers use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Imagine solving a giant maze: while classical computers explore one path at a time, quantum computers explore many paths at once, drastically cutting down the time needed for complex calculations.

Looks like Pokémon Go might be catching a new owner soon. Niantic, the studio behind the wildly successful mobile game, is reportedly in talks to sell its gaming division to Scopely Inc., a company owned by Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group.

The Astaroth phishing kit is a malware that has been making waves since 2024. It can bypass two-factor authentication (2FA), one of the most trusted security measures out there. Astaroth isn't your average scam; it's far more advanced and stealthy, capable of stealing login credentials even if you have 2FA enabled.

Huawei has just launched the Mate XT, the world's first trifold phone, and it’s turning heads. Priced at a steep €3,499 (around $3,662), the device promises to offer something unique: a phone that transforms into a tablet. But is it really a game-changer? or is it just another expensive experiment? The Mate XT isn’t your usual foldable phone. It uses a dual-hinge design that lets the phone fold twice, giving you three different screen sizes: a 6.4-inch phone, a 7.9-inch expanded display, and a full 10.2-inch tablet.

Gmail users, beware – a new AI-powered scam is on the rise, and it’s more convincing than ever before. This sophisticated fraud is tricking users into handing over sensitive information and hijacking their accounts.
