NetScaler vulnerability exploited, AdaptHealth suffers breach, new Android malware

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned of a critical vulnerability in NetScaler, identified as CVE-2026-19490, with a CVSS score of 9.3, which has been exploited and affects all NetScaler ADC and Gateway appliances. Citrix has patched this vulnerability as of August 19. AdaptHealth reported a data breach affecting over 4.1 million individuals, compromising personal, health, and insurance information, but not Social Security numbers or financial data. A new strain of Android malware, MantaxOtax, attributed to Indonesian threat actors, combines ransomware and spyware, stealing sensitive information and affecting older Android versions. The Gigabud banking trojan has evolved to evade detection by installing a secondary app that hides the malicious application. CISA acting director Nick Andersen emphasized the need for swift adaptation to cybersecurity threats and highlighted staffing improvements within CISA. Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries experienced disruptions from a DDoS attack affecting payments to sellers, following claims of a cyber operation by Ukraine's military intelligence. McKesson faced a cyberattack exposing sensitive data of 6.4 million individuals, with the ShinyHunters group releasing this data after a failed extortion attempt. IDScan confirmed a data breach affecting 150 million individuals, resulting in the theft of personally identifiable information and government-issued documents.

Lovely anime Sherlock series The Apothecary Diaries is getting a PC game spin-off, with Maomao chasing down another court conspiracy

The Apothecary Diaries features Maomao, a young female alchemist in the Forbidden Palace, who becomes an unofficial forensic pathologist solving court mysteries.

The gameplay includes clue-gathering, dialogue puzzles, and a deduction phase requiring players to present evidence. The game is conceptualized by the manga series author Hyuganatsu, aiming to maintain the essence of the anime while providing an interactive experience. Fans express concerns about preserving Maomao's character integrity amidst potential branching narratives.

Blue Dragon has been stuck on the Xbox 360 for 20 years, but no longer: a fantastic unofficial PC port unlocks the FPS, goes 4K, and even adds mod support

Hironobu Sakaguchi founded Mistwalker after leaving Square Enix in the early 2000s. Blue Dragon, a title from Mistwalker, is now available on PC due to a fan-made port created by programmer Tom, who used his toolset ReXGlue to recompile the game. This port integrates original game files into a single executable, enhances graphical fidelity, and resolves compatibility issues. Tom's work allows the game to run at 1080p resolution and 60 fps on systems with as little as one gigabyte of VRAM. The port was released on GitHub to coincide with the 19th anniversary of Blue Dragon's U.S. release, and future updates and mods are planned, including the introduction of characters from the Nintendo DS sequel.

Riot Games announced that support for its game 2XKO will conclude in December 2026, although servers will remain operational. A final update will introduce two new champions and address existing bugs, with refunds for any purchases made. The decision has sparked backlash from the community, with criticisms aimed at the company's focus on immediate profitability and a history of discontinuing projects. 2XKO joins other canceled titles like Hytale and 'Project F'. The upcoming MMORPG set in the League of Legends universe is scheduled for release in 2028 after being rebooted in 2024, but concerns about its potential fate persist.
