‘Won’t Fix’—All VPN Apps Affected As Google Android 16 Leaks Info

A significant vulnerability in Android 16 undermines VPN protections across all applications, allowing user traffic to leak outside the secure VPN tunnel. The “Always-On VPN” and “Block connections without VPN” settings are ineffective, potentially exposing users' real IP addresses. The issue was highlighted by security researcher Yusef, who noted that Google dismissed the problem as “Won’t Fix.” Mullvad VPN also reported the vulnerability, which affects all VPN applications on Android 16. The flaw involves a Binder method on ConnectivityManager that allows an attacker app to leak the user's real IP address without proper permission checks. Current mitigation options are limited and not advisable for average users, with a suggestion to switch to Graphene OS, which has addressed the vulnerability.

Ubisoft’s leak-a-thon continues with a dump of Assassin’s Creed Hexe info that hints at the return of a familiar ‘old man’

Fresh details about Assassin's Creed Hexe, described by Ubisoft as a "darker" addition to the franchise, have emerged from leaker "Rogue" on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. The game will primarily take place in Würzburg, Germany, during the witch trials in 1625, with the city serving as the core environment for gameplay. Ubisoft recently underwent a leadership change in the Assassin's Creed team, with Jean Guesdon becoming head of content and game director Benoit Richer exiting the project. There has been little information released about Hexe, especially in light of Ubisoft's promotion of the upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake.

Windows BitLocker zero-day gives access to protected drives, PoC released

A cybersecurity researcher known as Chaotic Eclipse has released proof-of-concept exploits for two unpatched vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows: YellowKey, a BitLocker bypass, and GreenPlasma, a privilege-escalation flaw. The YellowKey vulnerability affects Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022/2025, allowing unauthorized access to BitLocker-protected volumes by exploiting the Windows Recovery Environment. The exploit can be executed using specially crafted 'FsTx' files on a USB drive or directly on the EFI partition. Independent researcher Kevin Beaumont has validated the exploit, which can bypass BitLocker protections even in a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) environment. The GreenPlasma vulnerability allows unprivileged users to create arbitrary memory-section objects, potentially leading to privilege escalation. Chaotic Eclipse has expressed dissatisfaction with Microsoft's handling of bug reports, prompting the public disclosure of these vulnerabilities. Microsoft has stated its commitment to investigating security issues and updating affected devices.

The PC version of Forza Horizon 6 has leaked online ahead of its official launch on May 19, with early access available from May 15 for Premium Edition players.
