Microsoft Defender Adds Dashboard for 2011 Secure Boot Certificates

Microsoft has introduced a feature in the Microsoft Defender dashboard to help IT managers identify devices using 2011 Secure Boot certificates, which expire in June of this year. The recommendation view categorizes devices into three groups: Exposed Devices (trust outdated certificates), Compliant Devices (use new 2023 certificates), and Not Applicable Devices (Secure Boot disabled or unsupported). The dashboard provides a centralized overview of device security status and the distribution of 2023 certificates, allowing filtering by operating system and device context. Devices without the new certificates will still boot but may lack the latest protection during the early boot phase, exposing them to threats. Microsoft does not automatically distribute new certificates via Windows updates on servers, requiring manual action from administrators. The dashboard aids IT teams in prioritizing action on Exposed Devices and exporting data for collaboration.

Mojang announced Minecraft Dungeons 2 during Minecraft Live 2026, confirming its release in Fall 2026. The game will be available on Windows PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, with Game Pass support. A trailer hinted at new challenges involving Sculk blocks and the Deep Dark biome, and a QR code in the trailer led to a secret video with the term "spicewood." The original Minecraft Dungeons, released in 2020, faced criticism for repetitiveness and lack of endgame content, prompting Mojang to halt its development.

Who is YouTuber Marlow? Minecraft Crystal PvP star accused of hacking, catfishing, fake face reveal, and massive deception scandal

Marlow became a notable figure in Minecraft's Crystal PvP scene, known for her montage videos and distinctive blue and white-haired skin, attracting a large following. However, concerns arose about the authenticity of her content, leading to a scandal involving allegations of deception regarding her identity, with claims that she might be a man using the alias "Danger Mario." Accusations included cheating in ranked matches, staging PvP recreations, and using AI-generated voice tools to maintain her female persona. A report by Dexerto in May 2026 brought the controversy to wider attention, resulting in significant upheaval within MC Tiers, including staff resignations and credibility issues.

Rocket League has a new Easy Anti-Cheat addition, and it still works on the Steam Deck — it’s about time for other game Devs to follow suit

Psyonix has integrated Easy Anti-Cheat into Rocket League while supporting Linux platforms. Although Rocket League is no longer available on Steam, it can still be played on SteamOS through the Epic Games platform using Proton for compatibility. Other titles like Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, and EA Sports FC 26 are not accessible on SteamOS due to compatibility issues with anti-cheat systems. Psyonix's efforts may encourage other developers to improve Linux support. Emerging titles like Splitgate: Arena Reloaded and Rocket League are contributing to broader Linux compatibility, but challenges remain due to some publishers' reluctance to invest in these solutions.
