Nintendo GameCube modified to run PowerPC Windows NT and Doom

A new build of Windows NT for PowerPC, named Entii for WorkCubes, has been optimized for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii consoles, available on GitHub. This build theoretically supports the Wii U but does not utilize its additional PowerPC cores or enhanced GPU capabilities. YouTuber @emukid_id has showcased the installation and functionality of this build, including a gameplay session of The Ultimate Doom at a low resolution. The build supports various peripherals, including a GameCube controller with a keyboard, and utilizes the standard USB ports on the Wii and Wii U for expanded input options. However, online functionalities are limited, and compatibility with modern web pages is poor. The GameCube has 24MB of system RAM, while the Wii has a CPU-overclocked architecture and upgraded GPU. Future support for NT 3.5 on the Wii U could enhance the experience by utilizing its 1GB of RAM and triple CPU cores.

Windows 11 is still my favorite OS, ads and all

The desktop PC is often associated with personal memories and experiences tied to various operating systems (OS). Windows XP is remembered fondly for its nostalgic connection to school days and online gaming. Windows 98 had issues like crashes and a clunky interface, while Windows 2000 faced similar frustrations. Windows XP marked a significant improvement, leading to a golden era of gaming and online communities. Windows Vista presented its own challenges during teenage years, and Windows 10 is regarded as one of Microsoft's best OS offerings. Windows 11 introduces a centered taskbar design that has caused mixed reactions among users but allows for customization. The Start Menu can be tailored to reduce clutter, making it more efficient. Windows 11 is seen as an improvement over Windows 10, offering a smoother experience on modern hardware, though it has its flaws, such as ads for Microsoft services and the requirement for TPM 2.0, which may render older systems obsolete. This raises concerns about sustainability and the economic impact on users, particularly government agencies with limited resources. In comparison to other operating systems, Windows 11 is preferred despite its challenges, while alternatives like ChromeOS, macOS, and Linux each have their own limitations.

XELERA Ransomware Attacking Job Seekers With Weaponized Word Documents

Job seekers are targeted by a ransomware campaign called "XELERA," which uses counterfeit job offers from the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to lure victims. The campaign begins with spear phishing emails containing a malicious Word document named “FCEI-job-notification.doc.” This document hides an OLE object that extracts a compressed PyInstaller executable called “jobnotification2025.exe,” which is designed to evade antivirus detection. The malware's structure includes a core script (mainscript.pyc) and supporting libraries for system monitoring and network operations. A Discord bot serves as a Command-and-Control server, allowing remote command execution, including privilege escalation, system control, credential theft, and visual disruption. The final stage of the attack involves deploying the XELERA ransomware, which demands a ransom in Litecoin and includes functions to terminate Windows Explorer and download a tool for MBR corruption.

More than 90 Google Play Android apps identified with malware that steals your banking information – many already affected (5.5 million downloads)

Over 90 malicious Android applications were found on Google Play, including the banking trojan Anatsa, which has contributed to 5.5 million downloads across these apps. Google removed the identified apps from the Play Store after the report, which highlighted that Anatsa targets over 650 financial institutions. Two infected apps, disguised as PDF and QR code readers, had over 70,000 downloads before being reported. Anatsa operates stealthily, stealing banking information while appearing as benign applications. Other malware threats on Google Play include Joker, Facestealer, and Coper. Users are advised to be cautious when downloading apps and to scrutinize requested permissions. The two Anatsa-infected apps are no longer available, and the developers have been banned. Google Play Protect helps safeguard users by removing known malicious apps.
