You’ve never heard of it, but a Russian studio made a fantasy take on original Fallout way back in 2001, and it honestly kind of rules

GoldenLand is a PC game set in a fantasy world inspired by Russian folklore, featuring characters like Belobog and Drah-Shu, and a protagonist named Gromoboy, a bogatyr from Russian legend. The game draws inspiration from classics such as Baldur's Gate and Fallout, allowing character creation with familiar classes and a strategic combat system based on action points. Players experience a leveling system with perks, though the game has some rough mechanics and animations. Despite budget limitations, the developers infused the game with passion and authenticity, highlighting the potential for more culturally diverse CRPGs in the gaming landscape.

PromptSpy Android Malware Abuses Google Gemini to Automate Recent-Apps Persistence

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a new Android malware named PromptSpy that utilizes Google's Gemini AI chatbot to enhance its capabilities and persistence on infected devices. PromptSpy can capture lockscreen data, obstruct uninstallation, gather device information, take screenshots, and record screen activity. It integrates Gemini to analyze the current screen and provide instructions to keep the malware active in the recent apps list. The malware uses a hard-coded AI model and communicates with a command-and-control server via the VNC protocol, allowing remote access to the victim's device. It is financially motivated, targeting users in Argentina, and was developed in a Chinese-speaking environment. PromptSpy is distributed through a dedicated website and is considered an advanced version of a previously unidentified malware called VNCSpy.
