The temporary download folder unleashes 35% of infostealers on Windows

Executing files directly from the temporary download folder is the primary gateway for infostealers targeting Windows systems, accounting for approximately 35% of analyzed infections. The second most common entry point is C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework, appearing in 32% of cases and associated with advanced tactics like process injection. The findings are based on a report by Kaspersky, which analyzed five million records from the dark web. Malicious files often disguise themselves as legitimate software, such as fake codecs or program activators. Kaspersky recommends monitoring exposed assets and not disabling antivirus software during installations.

The Pragmata mods are starting to roll in, and thank the stars they’re largely focused on the dad bod

Capcom's Pragmata has seen a surge in creative video game modifications, particularly focusing on the protagonist, Hugh. Modders have introduced several character skins for Hugh, including a Dead Space outfit by user FokeyT26, a Doom Guy skin from Doom: The Dark Ages, and a Master Chief skin that was previously exclusive to a deluxe edition. Additionally, players have swapped Hugh for characters from various genres, such as the protagonist of Wuthering Waves and Minecraft's Steve, and even replaced a game enemy with Shrek. The modding community continues to explore new possibilities, with characters like CJ from GTA: San Andreas and Optimus Prime also appearing in the game. Pragmata is available for .99 on Steam, and using REFramework is necessary to unlock these modifications.

Ready or Not Review-Bombed on Steam as PC Players Claim Shooter Was ‘Censored’ to Satisfy Console Makers

Ready or Not, a tactical first-person shooter by VOID Interactive, is experiencing backlash on Steam due to recent changes made for its console release. VOID stated that modifications to the game's levels of gore, nudity, violence, and depictions of child mistreatment were necessary to meet console manufacturers' requirements. Players can no longer dismember defeated enemies, instances of torture and nudity have been reduced, and a child character now appears "unconscious/sleeping" instead of in a violent animation. Despite the developers claiming these changes are minor, community response has been negative, with some players accusing the studio of censorship and calling for a boycott. The game's overall user review rating remains 'very positive,' but recent reviews have shifted to 'mixed.' Ready or Not previously faced challenges, including a temporary removal from Steam in 2022 due to a trademark dispute and a controversial announcement about a school shooting level.
