Last year, the creator of Notepad++ rolled out an update for the text and source code editor after security experts reported that bad actors were hijacking its update mechanism to redirect traffic to malicious servers. It led to users downloading compromised executables that could infect their devices. Now, Don Ho has revealed that multiple security experts investigated the breach and determined that the threat actor “is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group.” He said it explained why experts observed highly selective targeting during the campaign and why only traffic from certain users were redirected so that they would download malicious files.…
Mario Kart World was the marquee launch title for the Switch 2 last summer, and to nobody’s surprise, it’s the best-selling game on the console. At 14.03 million units sold, including units sold with the Switch 2 bundle that included the game, Mario Kart World is far and away the best-selling software on Nintendo’s newest console. In fact, it nearly dwarfs second place by 10 million units. That second-place game is Donkey Kong Bananza, which launched in July, roughly a month after Mario Kart World – 4.25 million units have been sold as of December 31, 2025, according to Nintendo’s latest…

Which one signing will Arsenal add to their first-choice XI? Who will Liverpool bully Newcastle into selling? And which Ratcliffe obsession will Man Utd buy? The January 2026 transfer window has closed and it most certainly happened. One of the bigger stories was probably Dwight McNeil being both valued at an actual £20m and then being f**ked around by Crystal Palace – which might not be a coincidence – so it was not a stone-cold classic. There were winners and there were losers in the month-long market, and there is also a need to look ahead again because the Premier…
The 1990s wasn’t just a golden decade for sports cars and supercars: it also ushered in the era of the modified car. Young drivers, buoyed by a strong economy, access to innumerable cheap motors and an explosion in the fibreglass and in-car entertainment markets, flocked to put their own spin on almost everything they could get their hands on. Peugeot 205s, Citroën Saxos and Vauxhall Novas were by far the hottest properties, but even Rover’s utterly dreary 25 hatchback could be redeemed in the eyes of the generation’s cash-flush creatives. It was only natural, then, that publishers would seek to…
Even in 2026, VR still feels like tech that isn’t quite ready for prime time. When Nintendo released the original Virtual Boy way back in 1995, it was hard for my 10-year-old brain to comprehend a 3D console with a bipod, a facemask and a monochrome red display. Then, when you factor in weak sales that led to the system being discontinued after only a year, you end up with a gadget that felt more like a mythical creature than something you could actually buy. But that’s changing later this month when the Virtual Boy returns as an add-on for…
The Nintendo Switch is officially the company’s best-selling console ever, surpassing the Nintendo DS, which long held the record at 154.02 million units sold. As of December 31, 2025, 155.37 million Switch units have been sold, making it Nintendo’s best-selling console ever, according to the company’s latest financial earnings report. This doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, as the Switch has been trending toward taking that top spot for a while now, but it is perhaps surprising that the achievement occurred after the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 last summer. Of course, there are plenty of people still buying Switch…
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy is concerned for the rest of the season for the Reds after they failed to make any late signings. The Reds did agree to sign French centre-back Jeremy Jacquet from Ligue 1 side Rennes in a £60m deal that will go through in the summer transfer window. Liverpool missed out on signing Marc Guehi in the summer when Crystal Palace pulled out of the deal at the last minute, and Manchester City took advantage to sign the England international in January. The Reds signed young centre-back Giovanni Leoni in the summer but he was soon…
