Microsoft Surface Pro 13″ (12th Edition) Review: Is ARM Windows Finally Good?

The 13-inch Microsoft Surface Pro 12th Edition is the first model to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2. The review unit has an X2 Plus processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. It runs Windows 11 Home in its ARM variant, allowing for the installation of applications like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro, which now run natively. However, some limitations exist, such as missing features in Premiere Pro and longer export times. The device is available in two configurations, with the higher-end variant featuring the X2 Elite processor. Benchmark results show improved performance over its predecessor, particularly in Geekbench 6. The easily swappable SSD is a notable feature, and the device can become warm during intensive tasks. The gaming performance is mixed, with some titles running well while others struggle. The display is a 13-inch PixelSense LCD with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,920 pixels and a brightness level of 600 nits. The audio features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. The build quality is premium, with a weight of 895 grams and a thickness of 9.3 millimeters. Connectivity includes two USB-C ports with USB4 and DisplayPort capabilities, but lacks USB-A and a headphone jack. The device has an IR scanner for face recognition and a front camera that captures 1440p video. It offers three keyboard options and includes the Slim Pen 2 in some bundles. Battery life is approximately 7.15 hours while looping an HD YouTube video at maximum brightness, with efficient charging options available.

New Android malware uses AI to take over your phone

A new Android malware called RatHat has emerged, analyzed by researchers from Zimperium's zLabs. It spreads through deceptive smishing texts and malicious ads that lead users to counterfeit download pages for popular apps. Once installed, it manipulates Android's Accessibility Service to gain elevated access by enabling Wireless Debugging and retrieving authentication codes without user intervention. RatHat targets finance and banking apps to steal user IDs, passwords, and MFA codes, using techniques to obtain touch coordinates for PIN recovery. It can intercept SMS messages, gain limited control of the device, and reinstall itself. Users are advised against sideloading apps and granting unnecessary accessibility permissions. Google's Advanced Protection Mode and Malwarebytes for Android can help mitigate risks associated with RatHat.

New RatHat Android Malware Uses AI to Steal Banking Logins, PINs and OTP Codes

Security researchers have identified an Android banking Trojan named RatHat, which utilizes artificial intelligence, accessibility features, and Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to steal financial credentials, PINs, and one-time passcodes. Unlike traditional malware, RatHat employs a live AI assistant that interacts with the Android accessibility tree, allowing it to make real-time decisions based on the victim's screen content. The infection typically starts with social-engineering tactics, leading victims to counterfeit download pages where they are tricked into sideloading a malicious APK. Once installed, RatHat prompts users to enable Android Accessibility Service permissions, which it exploits to navigate Developer Options and enable Wireless Debugging. This grants it shell-level ADB access, allowing it to bypass application sandbox restrictions. RatHat deploys two native binaries for executing commands and maintaining a connection to the attacker's infrastructure. It targets banking applications through credential-stealing overlays and can intercept SMS messages for transaction verification codes. Additionally, it can record touch coordinates to reconstruct PINs and unlock patterns. RatHat includes persistence mechanisms to restore itself after removal, and users are advised to perform a factory reset if they suspect compromise. To reduce infection risk, users should avoid sideloading apps from unknown links, deny unnecessary Accessibility Service requests, and refrain from enabling Developer Options or Wireless Debugging for unfamiliar applications.

Russia’s “National Messenger” Turned Out to Be… “Putin Is Watching”

The Russian government is pressuring citizens to download a mobile app called "Max," which has raised privacy and surveillance concerns. Max is a popular messaging platform in Russia and integrates messaging, government services, and payment functionalities. Research by a University of Michigan team found that Max can capture users' screens without consent, access sensitive information, impersonate users, and potentially enable cyberattacks via code injection. Despite these concerns, many Russians still use alternative messaging platforms like Telegram and Signal. Some government officials are using separate devices for Max, indicating unease about its surveillance capabilities. The app is linked to a social media company connected to the Russian government, and President Putin may have an indirect financial stake in it.

Users are experiencing freezing issues with web applications on PCs due to a bug in Microsoft Edge version 153, which causes windows to become unresponsive to mouse and keyboard inputs. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem and suggested reverting to version 152 as a temporary solution. To downgrade Microsoft Edge, users must disable updates through the Group Policy Editor, download the MSI file for version 152, and execute a rollback command in the Windows command prompt. After completing these steps, users can verify the version of Microsoft Edge to confirm the rollback.

Revealed: How Russia use mobile ‘super-app’ Max to spy on its citizens

A new messaging and payment app called Max has emerged in Russia, developed by VKontakte, and has become the country's most utilized messaging platform. Max integrates various services, including banking and government services, and has been adopted by tens of millions of Russians. It features extensive surveillance capabilities, allowing it to take screenshots, access information without consent, impersonate users, and potentially conduct cyberattacks. The app's adoption has been largely mandatory, particularly among state employees and students. Despite its rise, Max has not replaced Telegram as a primary news source, and users have raised concerns about privacy and surveillance. Experts warn that Russia's swift implementation of digital control strategies reflects a growing trend of digital authoritarianism.
