A new strain of Windows malware called "BrowserVenom" is exploiting interest in DeepSeek's AI models by targeting users through deceptive Google ads. These ads lead to a counterfeit website, "https[:]//deepseek-platform[.]com," where users are tricked into downloading a harmful file named “AILauncher1.21.exe.” This malware monitors and manipulates internet traffic, allowing attackers to intercept sensitive data. The operation is believed to involve Russian-speaking threat actors, and the malware has infected users in several countries, including Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, India, Nepal, South Africa, and Egypt. The fraudulent domain has been suspended, but the malware can evade many antivirus solutions. Users are advised to verify official domains when downloading software.

A cyberattack campaign by the advanced persistent threat group Stealth Falcon targeted a prominent Turkish defense company using a zero-day vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-33053. This vulnerability allowed attackers to manipulate the working directory of legitimate Windows tools to execute malware from their WebDAV servers. The attack was initiated through a spear-phishing email containing a malicious .url file that directed the system to a legitimate Internet Explorer utility, which was then exploited to execute malicious files. The attackers employed process hollowing to bypass traditional defenses. Stealth Falcon, also known as FruityArmor, has been conducting cyber espionage since at least 2012, targeting government and defense sectors in Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, and Yemen. The attack involved a multi-stage infection chain leading to the deployment of "Horus Agent," a custom implant designed for advanced reconnaissance and equipped with anti-analysis techniques. Researchers identified additional custom tools used by Stealth Falcon, including a DC Credential Dumper and a custom keylogger. The group utilizes repurposed legitimate domains to blend their infrastructure with legitimate traffic, complicating detection efforts.

Civilization 7 is a 4X turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games, priced at approximately £60. It features a streamlined approach for accessibility and pacing, particularly in multiplayer settings, diverging from the complexity of Civilization 6. The game introduces Age transitions, allowing players to maintain a single leader while evolving through three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern, with each transition involving a civilization crisis that leads to selecting a new civilization. New systems are introduced in each Age, such as religion in the Exploration Age and ideologies in the Modern Age. The citizen management system has been replaced with slottable resources, and diplomacy has been simplified, feeling more transactional. The game retains a captivating flow and builds on the art style of Civilization 5, but the simplification of complex systems raises concerns about the depth of the gameplay experience.
