Девочка-андроид не нужна: хакеры сами справились со взломом Pragmata за двое суток до релиза игры

Capcom's game Pragmata was hacked by the group DenuvOwO, which dismantled the Denuvo protection system just two days before its scheduled launch on April 17. A pirated version of the game is now circulating online. This incident follows a significant data leak from Capcom's servers and poses challenges for the gaming community regarding piracy and its impact on sales and future development. Pragmata is Capcom's first original franchise in many years.

Microsoft April Update Forces BitLocker Recovery on Servers

A recent Microsoft security update, April 2026 KB5082063, has caused issues for administrators of Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 systems, with many devices entering BitLocker recovery mode after reboot, requiring a 48-digit recovery key. This issue primarily affects enterprise-managed systems with specific TPM Group Policy settings involving PCR7 validation. Similar problems have been reported with updates KB5083769 and KB5082052 on Windows 11. The issue arises from five conditions: BitLocker must be enabled on the OS drive, the Group Policy must include PCR7, the msinfo32.exe tool must show Secure Boot State PCR7 Binding as “Not Possible,” the Windows UEFI CA 2023 certificate must be in the Secure Boot Signature Database, and the device must not be using the 2023-signed Windows Boot Manager. Microsoft suggests two workarounds: removing the TPM validation Group Policy before the update and re-enabling BitLocker, or applying a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) before installation. Skipping the April updates is not advisable due to the addressing of 167 vulnerabilities, including two zero-days. BitLocker recovery issues following updates have been recurring since 2022, with similar incidents reported in August 2022, August 2024, and May 2025, indicating ongoing challenges with Secure Boot certificates and TPM validation bindings in enterprise environments.

FAT32 breaks free from its outdated limitation in latest Windows update

The FAT32 file system, historically limited to a 32GB partition size due to a design choice by Microsoft engineer Dave Plummer, can inherently support volumes up to 2TB with a 512-byte sector size and theoretically up to 16TB with 4KB sectors. While Windows maintained this 32GB limit, motherboard manufacturers had already developed firmware to utilize larger FAT32 drives. Tools like Rufus and GUIFormat were used to format high-capacity media, as Windows did not allow direct FAT32 formatting for drives larger than 32GB. However, with the introduction of Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds 26220.8165 and 26300.8170, users can now format large flash drives and external volumes as FAT32 directly from the Command Prompt without third-party software.

Your Android phone could soon get a better way to sniff out spoofed calls

Google is enhancing the security of incoming calls on Android devices by integrating a "Verified Caller" feature into Google Play Services. This feature aims to combat scam calls that use Do-Not-Originate (DNO) numbers by cross-referencing incoming calls against a database of DNO numbers to flag potential scams. The system will work with existing applications, such as banking apps, to monitor specific DNO numbers. The feature is still in development and its effectiveness will depend on business participation and strict verification processes by Google.

Microsoft: April updates trigger BitLocker key prompts on some servers

Microsoft announced that certain Windows Server 2025 devices may experience a BitLocker recovery prompt after installing the April 2026 KB5082063 Windows security update. The recovery mode will be triggered under specific conditions: BitLocker must be enabled on the operating system drive, the Group Policy for TPM validation must be configured with PCR7, the Secure Boot State PCR7 Binding must indicate "Not Possible," the Windows UEFI CA 2023 certificate must be in the Secure Boot Signature Database, and the device must not be using the 2023-signed Windows Boot Manager. Microsoft stated that this issue is unlikely to affect personal devices, as the configurations are mainly found in enterprise-managed systems. They are working on a resolution and recommend administrators remove the Group Policy configuration before deploying the update. If removal is not possible, applying a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) is advised to prevent triggering the recovery prompt. Microsoft has previously addressed similar BitLocker recovery prompt issues in May 2025, August 2024, and August 2022.

Microsoft Overhauls Windows Update for First Time in 15 Years Starting April

Microsoft is transforming its Windows Update system, starting in April, marking the most significant overhaul in over 15 years. The new system will centralize the management of operating system patches, drivers, and application updates, aiming to enhance user experience by simplifying the update process and improving reliability. Users will experience fewer interruptions, as updates will be consolidated into a single restart cycle, and updates will be scheduled during idle times to minimize disruptions. The update system will also expand support for driver and hardware updates. This transformation aligns with Microsoft's long-term vision for AI-enhanced PCs and cloud-integrated systems, enabling scalable updates for AI features and improving compliance for enterprise users. The rollout will begin gradually in April to mitigate risks associated with compatibility and execution.
