How to increase your inventory in Valheim

Valheim's inventory system has only eight hotbar slots and 24 inventory slots, which can be limiting for players. With the release of Valheim 1.0, players can now purchase two inventory upgrades from Haldor, the NPC merchant in the Black Forest, each adding an additional row to the inventory for a total of 16 extra slots. Players can find coins in chests, dungeons, and by defeating monsters, and can sell items like rubies and silver necklaces to Haldor for coins. A white bag icon on the minimap indicates Haldor's location, and third-party tools like the Valheim World Generator can help locate his camp.

Hackers Clone Banking Apps into Hidden Profiles, Android Malware Raises New Fraud Concerns

Cybercriminals are using advanced Android malware that mimics banking applications within hidden Work Profiles to bypass traditional fraud detection systems. This method is linked to Gigabud, a Remote Access Trojan active since at least 2022, and Vwork, an application cloning tool based on open-source software. Attackers distribute phishing links via social media and messaging, tricking victims into installing malicious files disguised as legitimate utilities. Once installed, the malware seeks Accessibility permissions and other capabilities to capture screen credentials and control the device. Vwork creates an isolated Work Profile to duplicate banking apps, allowing attackers to conduct fraudulent transactions without triggering security alerts in the personal space. Instances of counterfeit financial applications operating from these isolated environments have been documented, particularly in Indonesia. Between February and July 2026, monitoring revealed around 1,469 compromised devices and 1,281 compromised account credentials in Indonesia, resulting in estimated financial losses of 8.2 crore rupees. The operation is believed to be part of a larger international campaign linked to GoldFactory, with malware targeting users in multiple countries including Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, and others. Security experts warn that unusual Work Profile installations, duplicated banking apps, and unexpected requests for Accessibility permissions indicate a compromised device. Users are advised against sideloading APK files from private messages and should limit sensitive permissions to verified applications. Researchers emphasize the need for financial institutions to adopt behavioral analysis to detect unauthorized transactions effectively.

Our next drop has a name

Adventurers gather around a campfire to share stories of their experiences, including unexpected detours and surprise encounters. While some moments are planned, spontaneous events often create lasting memories. Preparations for future journeys include stocking inventory, mapping campsites, and being ready for unforeseen adventures. New features for Wilderness Bound will require either Minecraft: Bedrock Edition or Java Edition, which must be purchased separately, and community feedback will help refine these features as development continues.

Avast Antivirus Zero-Day PoC Lets Attackers Dump SAM Database and Gain SYSTEM Shell

A public proof-of-concept (PoC) repository has revealed a local privilege escalation zero-day vulnerability in GenDigital's Avast Antivirus, allowing attackers with local execution access to extract the Windows Security Account Manager (SAM) database and execute a shell with NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM privileges. The flaw is located in the Avast Sandbox component and could enable a complete local takeover of the system. The PoC is compatible with any version of Avast Antivirus and has been tested on fully patched versions of Avast and Windows 11 25H2. The repository does not provide a formal release, CVE identifier, or patch details. The vulnerability may also affect other GenDigital products like AVG and Norton. Security teams are advised to monitor for suspicious activities related to Avast services and restrict local administrator access. Organizations should inventory their deployed versions and apply vendor-provided updates as they become available.

Fake Microsoft Edge, Kaspersky and Razer Installers Used to Compromise Windows Systems

An ongoing malware campaign is targeting Windows devices through counterfeit download pages for well-known software brands like Microsoft Edge, Kaspersky, and Razer. The campaign affects various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, gaming, technology, logistics, government, and education. It utilizes high-fidelity fraudulent websites that closely mimic legitimate vendors, with observed lure domains such as app-microsoft-edge[.]com[.]cn and kaspersky-lab[.]hl[.]cn. Attackers employ evasion tactics like server-side payload regeneration and create multiple copies of the same archive in quick succession. Victims are lured into downloading ZIP files that contain a bundled wrapper installer, which activates a stage-one executable in randomized directories. The malware often masquerades as legitimate software, with some payloads impersonating known applications. Persistence is achieved through scheduled tasks with unusual names, and the malware employs various evasion techniques, including deleting shadow copies and altering file permissions. Microsoft Defender has identified activity across multiple stages of the attack, including delivery, execution, and command-and-control communications. To mitigate risks, organizations are advised to block downloads from unofficial sources, enforce Tamper Protection, and implement Attack Surface Reduction rules. Indicators of compromise (IOCs) include specific lure domains and URLs associated with the campaign.
