InPVP acquires Feather Client, rebrands as Dawn

InPVP has acquired Feather Client, a third-party Minecraft launcher, focusing on its in-game technology rather than the launcher itself. The acquisition was announced by InPVP owner Mohamed “PizzaMC” Weheba at the UGCon conference in Las Vegas. Feather Client’s parent company, Silentstack, will launch a new launcher called Dawn. Weheba clarified that the acquisition involves a sale of assets without taking on previous liabilities. The acquisition follows allegations of ad fraud against Feather Client. Weheba plans to reduce reliance on ad monetization and focus on direct-to-consumer revenue streams, including the sale of cosmetics and in-game items. He aims to enhance user experience with features like a profanity filter for voice chat and plans to collaborate with the competitive Minecraft organization MCPVP for tournaments. Aditude, Feather's former ad tech provider, has resumed its partnership with Dawn, expressing confidence in Weheba's leadership and the new direction of the project.

CVE-2024-55638: Highly Critical Drupal Core Vulnerability Threatens PostgreSQL Sites with Remote Code Execution (RCE)

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-55638, has been identified in Drupal Core, affecting installations using PostgreSQL as their backend database. This vulnerability involves PHP Object Injection, which can lead to full Remote Code Execution (RCE) when combined with another deserialization flaw. It cannot be exploited independently but increases the risk for Drupal installations that use third-party modules or custom code that improperly employs the unserialize() function. The affected versions include Drupal Core 7.x prior to 7.102, 8.0.0 and above prior to 10.2.11, and 10.3.0 prior to 10.3.9, with patched versions being 7.102, 10.2.11, and 10.3.9. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for sites using PostgreSQL, and organizations are urged to upgrade to the patched versions and audit their code for unsafe unserialize() usage. Currently, there are no confirmed reports of exploitation in the wild, but the risk remains high due to insecure deserialization bugs in third-party modules. The EPSS score for this vulnerability is 9.93%, indicating a significant likelihood of exploitation in the near future.

Microsoft Defender Zero-Day Vulnerabilities RedSun and UnDefend Actively Exploited on Windows 10, 11, and Server (April 2026 CVE Analysis)

In April 2026, two zero-day vulnerabilities, RedSun and UnDefend, were discovered in Microsoft Defender, affecting Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server platforms. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to escalate privileges to SYSTEM and bypass Defender’s protections. RedSun exploits a flaw in Defender's remediation process, enabling low-privileged users to overwrite critical system files. UnDefend allows attackers to disrupt Defender’s updates, keeping it outdated and ineffective. Both vulnerabilities are actively being exploited, with attackers leveraging them to gain persistent access and deploy ransomware. The primary targets are organizations using Windows systems with Defender enabled, particularly in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government. Mitigation strategies include applying updates for related vulnerabilities, monitoring for suspicious activities, and implementing additional security measures.

Google AI Studio now builds Android apps from simple prompts

Google has expanded its AI Studio with new features for building native Android applications. Users can now generate production-ready Kotlin code within the "Build" tab by entering prompts, and a browser-based Android emulator allows for instant previews. A one-click publishing feature enables direct submission to Google Play’s Internal Test Track. The platform now integrates with Google Sheets and Google Drive for creating custom dashboards and applications. A new export feature facilitates the transition from cloud to local environments, ensuring smooth transfers of project files and API secrets. Automatic design tools include an AI agent for generating custom interface images, and users can make real-time visual adjustments. New creators can deploy their first two applications to Google Cloud via the Cloud Run Free Tier at no cost. Additionally, a mobile app for AI Studio is in pre-registration, allowing developers to work on application builds from their smartphones.

Windows 11’s new SecureBoot folder isn’t malware. Here’s what it does

Users have observed a new folder named “SecureBoot” in the Windows system folder following the installation of Windows 11's May update (KB5089549). This update may cause installation issues for some devices and introduces a directory that contains example scripts for IT professionals to manage Secure Boot certificate updates. Windows Secure Boot certificates are set to expire next month, and outdated certificates will lead to loss of support starting in June, potentially compromising Secure Boot functionality. Microsoft is distributing new certificates through Windows Update. The SecureBoot folder does not require individual users to take action, and deleting it is discouraged as it may cause complications with future Windows updates.

Arc Raiders has begun its rollout of Denuvo anti-cheat software, minus the DRM

Embark has launched an anti-cheat software for the multiplayer game Arc Raiders using Denuvo technology to address issues with wall hacks, aimbots, and other unfair advantages. A trial for a kernel-level anti-cheat system will begin on May 19 with a select group of players, and a broader rollout will follow based on the trial's success. The developers have opted not to use Denuvo DRM to avoid performance issues, prioritizing a seamless gaming experience despite concerns about piracy. Recent cheating allegations have increased, with players, including streamer Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins, expressing frustration over encounters with cheaters. Many players are willing to adjust their settings to ensure fair gameplay, recognizing the challenges posed by cheating.

You can now build Android apps in minutes by describing them to Google AI Studio

Google has introduced AI-powered features in Google AI Studio to simplify Android app development. Users can describe their app ideas in plain language, and the AI translates these into functional Android applications via a web browser. The platform generates the app's framework, user interface, and core functionalities using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, supporting features like GPS, Bluetooth, and NFC. AI Studio includes an in-browser Android Emulator for building and testing apps, along with Android Debug Bridge integration for direct deployment to devices. Currently, the tools are aimed at personal utilities and lightweight projects, with plans for broader sharing options in the future. The platform can automatically create Play Console records, package Android App Bundles, and upload builds for testing, reducing manual steps. Developers can also export projects as zip files for further work in Android Studio or GitHub. Future expansions will include support for Firebase services. Additionally, Google has introduced the "Ask Play" feature for app discovery, allowing users to search using conversational prompts instead of keywords, and plans to integrate Android applications within Gemini interactions across mobile and web platforms.

Google thinks Gemini 3.5 Flash can finally make AI agents more useful

Google has rolled out its AI model, Gemini 3.5 Flash, across various platforms, claiming it outperforms its predecessor, Gemini 3.1 Pro, in key benchmarks. Gemini 3.5 Flash generates responses four times faster than competing AI systems and is designed for complex workflows and coding tasks. Google plans to introduce Gemini 3.1 Pro next month, which excels in decision-making and coding tests. The model is particularly effective for "long-horizon" tasks, aiding app development and document preparation. Google Antigravity, an agentic development platform, integrates with Gemini 3.5 Flash to manage large workloads. The company also introduced Gemini Spark, a personal AI agent for managing digital tasks, with a beta rollout for select testers. Gemini 3.5 was developed under the Frontier Safety Framework, incorporating enhanced safety measures and interpretability tools.
