Guild Wars 3 isn’t the only new Guild Wars on the way: ArenaNet just announced a Guild Wars card game

ArenaNet, in collaboration with NC, has announced an official Guild Wars card game titled Mistbound, which follows the recent announcement of Guild Wars 3. Mistbound is developed with bilibili and features a dynamic 5x3 tactical grid for gameplay, allowing players to modify character attributes and reposition units and commanders turn by turn.

I installed Android 17 on my Pixel 10, and now I’m about to step up my social media game

Android 17 has introduced a new feature called screen reactions for Pixel devices, allowing users to create reaction videos easily by overlaying a small floating video of themselves while reacting to content. This feature enhances viewer engagement and simplifies the process, requiring only a few taps on a Pixel 10. However, it has limitations, such as requiring full-screen recording, which can lead to quality issues, and the presence of a screen recording status icon that may detract from the video's professionalism.

Chinese police bust cybercrime ring behind ‘Silver Fox’ Trojan virus

Chinese law enforcement has dismantled cybercrime operations linked to a new variant of the Silver Fox Trojan virus, which targets employees in enterprises and public institutions, particularly in financial roles. The malware allows cybercriminals remote access to steal account credentials, intercept SMS verification codes, and harvest personal information. A criminal syndicate in Jilin province, led by an individual named Chen, developed this Trojan and conducted mass phishing campaigns, resulting in losses exceeding 7 million yuan. Police have taken action against Chen and 26 accomplices, with ongoing investigations.
