Trend Micro Maximum Security Review 2026: Is It The Best Protection?

Trend Micro offers five distinct subscription versions for online security, including a 12-month subscription to its Maximum Security Suite Pro Plus, which provides multi-device antivirus, anti-scam software, a VPN, and identity theft protection. The pricing starts at AUD for a basic subscription for one device, with additional costs for more devices and features. The tested plan costs 99.95 AUD per year for six devices. Key features include AI-scam detection, a Gamer Mode that pauses notifications during gameplay, and a minimalist user interface. Installation requires separate logins for each program, and the suite supports MacOS, Android, and iOS, though with limited features on Mac. The built-in VPN is developed in-house, and phishing protection is provided via a browser extension. Folder Shield protects against ransomware by securing specific folders. Independent lab tests show mixed results for Trend Micro's performance, particularly in real-time web-threat protection and ransomware defense, with some weaknesses in offline malware detection.

FBI warns of Russian, Iranian cyber activity involving messaging platforms

The FBI issued alerts regarding cyber campaigns by Russian and Iranian actors targeting messaging platforms. Russian intelligence services are reportedly infiltrating applications like Signal, leading to unauthorized access of thousands of accounts of U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists. Russian operatives are using phishing messages disguised as support notifications to trick users into providing verification codes or account PINs, potentially allowing attackers to take over accounts. Once compromised, attackers can access messages, contact lists, and launch further phishing attempts. The advisory emphasizes that while Signal is targeted, similar tactics can affect any messaging app. In a separate alert, the FBI highlighted Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) using Telegram to distribute malware aimed at Iranian dissidents and journalists, enabling them to steal sensitive information. This malware often disguises itself as legitimate software and connects to Telegram bots for remote access and data exfiltration. The FBI linked these activities to the Handala Hack group, which claimed responsibility for a recent attack on medical device manufacturer Stryker. The malware can be introduced through social media by hackers posing as technical support. Experts note that the use of Telegram for cyber compromises is increasing, as it helps malicious actors avoid detection by blending their traffic with trusted platforms.

Masters of Albion is a ‘Best of Peter Molyneux’ greatest hits collection in one game, but I fear it might not measure up to the games that inspired it

Peter Molyneux's latest project, Masters of Albion, is set to enter early access on Steam on April 22. The game features a click and drag interface with an iconic anonymous sky hand, allowing players to manipulate the game world. Players start in the village of Oakridge, focusing on building towns, defending against enemies, and controlling a hero villager. The gameplay includes city-building and combat, with players generating income and fulfilling orders from villagers. A design mini-game involves assembling dishes for characters like Sylvia Plinth. Players can summon a hero to explore new territories, engage in combat, solve puzzles, and discover collectibles. The game also includes a city-defense mechanic where players prepare for nighttime sieges, construct defenses, and adapt strategies in real-time. Players can load defenses with unconventional projectiles, including crafted food. Masters of Albion encourages players to engage at their own pace across city-building, combat, or exploration.

Google adds 24-hour Android sideloading for unverified apps

Google is revising its approach to Android sideloading by allowing users to install applications from unverified developers while implementing a new 24-hour process to enhance security. Users must activate developer mode, confirm their decision, restart their devices, and re-authenticate before installation. A one-time 24-hour waiting period is also introduced to prevent scams. This change addresses concerns from developers and advocacy groups about the impact of stringent verification policies on smaller developers. Google is also offering limited-distribution accounts for students and hobbyists to share apps without full verification. The updated process includes additional security measures to disrupt scams, while users are encouraged to use dedicated security solutions for better protection against mobile threats.
