A new tool named BigDiskBuster has been released on GitHub, which disrupts Microsoft Defender Antivirus by preventing it from installing updates. It does this by consuming available disk space during the update process, causing Defender to remain on its current version and unable to receive new platform or signature updates. BigDiskBuster operates as a local denial-of-service technique and requires prior access to the target machine to execute. The tool was created by researcher Abdelhamid Naceri, known as Nightmare Eclipse, who has previously worked on similar projects. As of now, there is no CVE identifier, patch, or advisory from Microsoft regarding this issue.

A customer brought in a functional Dell laptop running Windows 10, which lost mainstream support from Microsoft in October 2025. Although the laptop still operates, Microsoft has stopped patching security vulnerabilities unless users take specific actions. Users have three options: upgrade to Windows 11 if their PC meets requirements, purchase a new or refurbished PC, or enroll in extended security updates available until October 2027. There is also a warning about potential scams related to Windows 10's support status. Users can check their PC's eligibility for Windows 11 using the "PC Health Check" app from Microsoft.

Microsoft has announced the impending cessation of support for IE Mode in the Edge browser, urging organizations to begin their migration strategies. Initially set to be supported until the end of 2029, Microsoft is emphasizing proactive planning for transitioning away from legacy systems. A communication from Microsoft highlighted the importance of providing a year’s notice before the end of support for IE Mode, which is crucial for IT administrators managing legacy applications. IE Mode uses the Chromium engine while allowing access to web pages through Internet Explorer 11's Trident engine. Organizations still dependent on IE Mode need to evaluate their IT infrastructure and identify critical applications that require updates or replacements. Microsoft is offering its App Assure service to help eligible customers improve compatibility with modern Windows platforms. Early planning is essential to reduce migration risks and maintain operational efficiency.
ANGLE is a compatibility layer that implements OpenGL ES on top of Vulkan, allowing OpenGL ES games to make OpenGL calls while ANGLE translates them into Vulkan commands for the GPU driver. The Pixel 11 has transitioned to an OpenGL ES-on-Vulkan architecture as part of a broader Android graphics strategy, but this change may not be completely transparent across all workloads, leading to microstuttering or jank in some games. Users can change ANGLE preferences on a per-app basis to try the native OpenGL option and potentially reduce frame-time spikes.
Modder Doneda has created a modification for Elden Ring Nightreign, featuring a standalone map inspired by Frozen Eleum Loyce and Frigid Outskirts from Dark Souls 2. A trailer for this project is available on YouTube. Doneda has a history of modding, having restored a cut sewers map from Dark Souls 2. The new map can be downloaded from the Nightreign Nexus, requiring Mod Engine 3 for installation. Doneda plans to create more maps and invites fans to follow their progress on YouTube or support them on Ko-fi. The recent Deep of Night update in Nightreign has introduced new boss fights, while the community has developed various mods, including Yui's Seamless Co-op and TerraMag's weapon integration from other titles.
A keylogger captures every keystroke made on a device and sends that information to an external source. In 2025, infostealer malware, including keyloggers, resulted in the theft of 642.4 million credentials from 13.2 million infections globally. In Australia, approximately 30,000 banking passwords were compromised between 2021 and 2025 due to this malware. The Australian Cyber Security Centre reported over 42,500 calls related to credential theft in one year, a 16% increase. Four main malware families dominate the landscape, with LummaC2 accounting for nearly 60% of credentials linked to infostealers in 2026. Keyloggers can be detected through signs such as typing lag, unexpected antivirus notifications, new browser extensions, and unexplained spikes in outbound data usage. Detection and removal steps include checking running processes, auditing startup programs, reviewing installed programs, running antivirus scans, and resetting passwords from a clean device. Keyloggers can infiltrate systems via phishing emails, malicious attachments, or compromised software downloads. Mobile devices can also be targeted by keyloggers disguised as legitimate apps.
