They’re part of the engine’s identification code, found on its offside front, the first trio of letters denoting the 207bhp 1.8 20-valve motor of 2002, or the 221bhp version that arrived a year later. If you can see these letters, then the Leon you’re looking at is almost certainly a genuine Cupra R rather than a sportily dressed version of a lesser model. Such has been the passion for these cars that…

Image generated by Google Gemini A sophisticated new malware campaign is systematically dismantling Windows security defenses with alarming success—and it requires no security vulnerabilities to work. Unlike traditional attacks that rely on complex exploits, this campaign succeeds through pure social engineering combined with sophisticated abuse of Windows’ own security architecture. Attackers are using business-themed documents to completely neutralize Microsoft Defender and other security tools before deploying payloads that can destroy everything from your personal files to your cryptocurrency wallets.
