Amazon to Shut Down Android App Store, Ending a Decade-Long Experiment

Amazon will close its Amazon Appstore for Android devices on August 20, 2025, after 14 years of operation. The closure includes the discontinuation of Amazon Coins, which are used for in-app purchases. Developers will no longer be able to submit new apps after this date, although existing apps will remain available until then. Amazon plans to focus on its Appstore for its own devices, such as Fire TV and Fire Tablets, where most of its customers engage with the platform. The Appstore was launched in 2011 as a competitor to Google Play but struggled to gain traction outside of Amazon's ecosystem. Additionally, Amazon will discontinue support for the Appstore on Windows 11 on March 5, 2025. Security concerns have also been raised regarding the Appstore, including incidents of malware found within it.

Как скачать EA FC 25 с Torrent? Можно ли получить игру бесплатно

The majority of free digital game downloads are pirated versions lacking developer protections. EA FC 25 cannot be acquired through piracy as it remains secure due to the Denuvo protection system, which has not been breached since the game's release over a month ago. Denuvo is known for its robust security, making it time-consuming and resource-intensive to crack. Additionally, many games receive downloadable content post-launch, requiring ongoing efforts to bypass security. Pirating games is illegal and can result in serious legal consequences.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 users need to avoid CAPTCHA pop-ups as new malware

Windows 10 and Windows 11 users are facing a new cyber threat involving fraudulent CAPTCHA verification pop-ups that distribute malware. Security experts at McAfee have identified that cybercriminals are using counterfeit CAPTCHA interfaces to trick users into executing malicious PowerShell scripts. When users click on the "I'm not a robot" option in these fake pop-ups, it leads to the copying of a dangerous script to their clipboard, which they are misled into executing. This attack method can occur on both fake websites and through emails. McAfee notes that these attacks utilize multi-layered encryption, complicating detection. Users are advised to avoid unofficial websites, verify URLs in emails, limit clipboard-based scripts, and keep antivirus software updated to protect against this threat.
