A brand new trailer for the upcoming second season of Doctor Who has materialized and it looks like we’re in for a wild ride.

The official trailer (see below) emphasizes the epic scale of this season as Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor, alongside new companion Belinda (Varada Sethu) embark on a journey across time and space – and perhaps even realities – on a quest to return The Doctor’s new BFF to Earth.

The latest trailer for one of the best Disney+ shows continues to delve into the mystery surrounding Belinda, and just why she bares more than a passing resemblance to Mundy Flynn, from last season’s Steven Moffat penned episode, ‘Boom’.

While showrunner Russell T. Davies original claimed Sethu’s casting was simply a Karen Gillian-like case of a guest actor impressing enough to bag a full-time role, it’s clear from the footage we’ve seen that this is far more akin to Jenna Coleman’s initial appearance as Oswin, later revealed to be one of many versions of Clara scattered throughout The Doctor’s timeline. All will, of course, be revealed, but it makes for a tantalising hook as we embark on Gatwa’s second season.

That’s far from the only thing whetting fans appetite though, as we also get a little bit more information of Traitors US host Alan Cumming’s new cartoon villain Mr Ring-a-Ding, who we previously saw emerge from the screen of a 1950s theatre.

This time out though, it’s the Doctor and Belinda being pulled into the animated world. While Gatwa is far from the first Doctor to appear in cartoon form – plenty of lost episodes have been given a reprieve in animation, and David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor received an animated special – it marks a first for an episode of the main show.

There’s also another glimpse at the Interstellar Song Contest, hosted by Rylan Clark alongside what appears to be a member of New Earth’s cat-like race, a tease of a return to UNIT HQ featuring former companion Ruby (Millie Gibson), and plenty of rocket ships and robots. Interestingly, Anita Dobson’s Mrs. Flood is absent this time round, although expect to see her crop up throughout the season as the mystery around her continues to build.

Also expected to return this season are UNIT members Mel (Bonnie Langford), Kate (Jemma Redgrave) and Shirley (Ruth Madely), despite the trio gearing up for their own spin-off. And Slow Horses fans are in for a treat as three actors make the jump from Slough House in the form of Christopher Chung, Kadiff Kirwan and a villainous Freddie Fox.

Season 2 is looking like an awful lot of fun, with historical adventure, futuristic action and plenty of humor and heart. And we don’t have long to wait either, with the season set to premiere on BBC iPlayer in the UK and Disney+, aka one of the best streaming services, around the globe on April 12.

• Lucasfilm has released the final trailer for Andor season 2
• Star Wars fans think it teases a possible appearance from Darth Vader
• The teaser also includes a reference to Rogue One's official trailer

There's less than four weeks to go until Andor season 2 is released – and, just like London buses, after waiting so long for one trailer, we've received two in quick succession.

That's right, exactly one month (at the time of publication) since Andor season 2's first trailer made its worldwide debut on February 24, Lucasfilm has released one final teaser before the show returns.

It's a more suspense-filled trailer than its predecessor, too, which speaks to the heightened stakes at play as the embryonic Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire's major players position themselves for the battles ahead.

The trailer's runtime comes in at a snappy 82 seconds, but there's a lot to unpack from the footage within. Sure, there are numerous scenes and clips from the acclaimed Star Wars series' first season 2 trailer, but there's enough new material to whet our appetite ahead of the forthcoming entry's Disney+ debut.

The trailer's been live for less than two hours (again, at the time of writing), but there's one specific clip that's dominated fan discussions in the immediate aftermath of its release. Indeed, at the 0:52 mark, Dedra Meero, one of the Empire's Imperial Security bigwigs, is seen clutching at her jacket collar, which suggests she's struggling to breathe.

Star Wars devotees don't need a second invitation to hazard a guess about what's going on. Indeed, as many have pointed on a couple of Reddit threads, it appears Meero is being force-choked by... someone.

Orson Krennic isn't the guy I'm talking about (Image credit: Lucasfilm/Disney+)

That begs the question: if Meero is being force-choked, who is the likely culprit? There's only one individual who's renowned for squeezing the air out of people's throats: Darth Vader.

Is the Star Wars franchise's legendary Sith Lord going to make a brief cameo in Andor's second season, then? Maybe. After all, he made a telling cameo in one of the best Disney+ shows' soon-to-be sequel movie Star Wars: Rogue One, which actually came out in 2016 but will pick up where Andor season 2's story leaves off. Vader is knocking about at this point on the Star Wars timeline, so I wouldn't rule out an appearance from the man formerly known as Anakin Skywalker.

That said, other fans think Meero is simply having a panic attack. That's also a possibility, especially if a severely traumatic event occurs that involves her. Anyone who's suffered a panic attack knows how they can take your breath away and/or make it hard to breathe, so maybe that's all that's happening here.

But I digress. Andor season 2's latest trailer also contains an ominous call back to Rogue One's own trailers – and no, I'm not talking about the numerous characters who are slated to appear in season 2, and who also show up in Rogue One.

I am, in fact, talking about the spine-chilling siren that can be heard throughout this teaser's near-90-second runtime. Okay, said klaxon can only be heard once Rogue One's official trailer (at the 1:10 mark, to be exact), but it's nonetheless a fun little Easter egg that further strengthens the ties between Andor and its movie sibling.

When will Andor season 2 be released? And who's a part of its cast?

The revolution will be televised in late April (Image credit: Lucasfilm/Disney+)

Andor season 2's release date was announced last September. It'll make its debut on Disney+, aka one of the world's best streaming services, on April 21 (US) and April 22 (UK and Australia). It'll launch on those dates with a three-season premiere, too, so you'll have plenty to watch on release day.

As for when new episodes will air, they'll arrive in three additional episodic batches of three on a weekly basis. So, episodes 4 through 6 will be released on April 28 (US) and April 29 (UK and Australia), and so on.

On the cast front, Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Denise Gough are just six faces returning from season 1. New additions to the cast include Ben Mendelsohn, who reprises his role as Orson Krennic from Rogue One, and Alan Tudyk, who is also back as his Rogue One character in K-2SO.

• 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy
• It means the company and all of its data is up for sale
• Unfortunately, that could include your personal information and your DNA, but there's action you can take right now

23andMe – which oversaw a viral surge in DNA testing a couple of years ago and was once worth over $6bn – has filed for bankruptcy, and if you've ever used the service your data could be on the table.

The company announced on March 23 that it has initiated voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the US Bankruptcy Court "to facilitate a sale process to maximize the value of its business."

The company said, "After a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, we have determined that a court-supervised sale process is the best path forward to maximize the value of the business."

The company is seeking to sell "substantially all of its assets," and it's bad news for customers who have ever used the service.

As The Telegraph reports, 23andMe was once worth $6 billion but has seen revenue slump in recent years, reflecting a fall in the popularity of DNA testing. Now, with all of its assets on the chopping block, customer DNA data submitted to the company as part of its testing process could be up for sale.

As the report notes, 23andMe's privacy statement, which all customers must accept to use the service, contains provisions that it may sell your personal information if it is ever involved in bankruptcy proceedings.

California's Attorney General recently issued an urgent customer alert, outlining some of the actions customers can take to protect their data before 23andMe sells it off to the highest bidder.

Customers can delete their account and personal information on 23andMe's website, specifically in the Settings section of their profile.

Before you do, you can also download a copy of your data for your personal storage, before selecting "Delete Data" in the 23andMe Data section.

If you've previously opted to have your saliva and DNA stored by 23andMe, you can also change this preference and get it destroyed by the company in the Preferences section.

Finally, you can also revoke your permission for your genetic data to be used for research in the Research and Product Consents section of the account settings page.

Alternatively, simply deleting your account should ensure your personal data, genetic data included, gets deleted.

These are primarily targeted at California consumers but everyone who has ever used 23andMe can access these settings and should be able to carry out at least some of the steps to protect their data.

Alongside the bankruptcy proceedings, 23andMe announced that CEO Anne Wojcicki is resigning her role with immediate effect.

Operators of the Medusa ransomware are engaging in old-fashioned bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver (BYOD) attacks, bypassing endpoint protection, detection and response (EDR) tools while installing the encryptor.

Cybersecurity researchers Elastic Security Labs noted the attacks start as the threat actors drop an unnamed loader, which deploys two things on the target endpoint: the vulnerable driver, and the encryptor.

The driver in question is smuol.sys, and it mimics a legitimate CrowdStrike Falcon driver named CSAgent.sys. It was also said to have been signed by a Chinese vendor the researchers dubbed ABYSSWORKER.

A growing threat

"This loader was deployed alongside a revoked certificate-signed driver from a Chinese vendor we named ABYSSWORKER, which it installs on the victim machine and then uses to target and silence different EDR vendors," Elastic Security Labs said in its report.

Using outdated and vulnerable drivers to kill antivirus and malware removal tools is nothing new. The practice has been around for years and is being used to deploy malware, steal sensitive information, propagate viruses, and more.

The best way to mitigate potential threats is to keep your software updated.

Medusa ransomware has grown into one of the most prolific Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) providers around.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with LockBit, or RansomHub, Medusa has taken responsibility for some of the biggest attacks in recent years, prompting the US government to issue a warning about its activities.

In mid-March 2025, the FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC said Medusa targeted more than 300 victims from a “variety of critical infrastructure sectors”, by February 2025.

"As of February 2025, Medusa developers and affiliates have impacted over 300 victims from a variety of critical infrastructure sectors with affected industries including medical, education, legal, insurance, technology, and manufacturing," the report says. "FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC encourage organizations to implement the recommendations in the Mitigations section of this advisory to reduce the likelihood and impact of Medusa ransomware incidents."

The personal DNA testing service went public in 2021 and has been struggling with slowing sales ever since.

The company said a brief technical issue led to the data loss.

On the list of high-priority concerns for chief information security officers (CISOs) these days, privacy is occupying an increasingly prominent position.

Privacy has always been important for businesses and other organizations handling sensitive customer and stakeholder information, but recent changes in privacy regulations are putting greater responsibility on CISOs, who are required to perform thorough risk assessments while making the results available on demand. Failure to conduct assessments or correct deficiencies can incur significant fines and, in some cases, even jail time.

CISOs need to take a proactive approach to meeting the challenge, particularly by performing rapid data security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and high-priority risks—including those involving third parties—and implement mitigations to protect data, the organization and its customers.

State regulators want risk assessments—now

A number of states have recently upped the ante for CISOs, requiring detailed risk assessments that must be produced upon request. State regulations that have added new requirements include the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) draft regulations, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), and the New York SHIELD Act.

CISOs need to be on the same page with these new regulations, even if not all of them use the same playbook. While Virginia and Colorado, for example, set clear guidelines for assessments, California’s rules are more vague, requiring assessments without offering details.

The responsibility for implementing and documenting privacy controls and policies falls primarily on the shoulders of the CISO, who must ensure that the organization’s procedures for managing information protects privacy data and meets regulatory requirements. Performing risk assessments that identify weaknesses and demonstrate that they are being addressed is a crucial step in the process, even more so now that they must be ready to produce risk assessments whenever regulatory bodies request them.

As if CISOs needed an added incentive, regulators at the state and federal levels have been trending toward targeting organization management, particularly CISOs, in the wake of costly breaches. The consequences include hefty fines for organizations and, in worst-case scenarios, even jail sentences for CISOs.

Responsibility for privacy protections also extends to third-party risks. Organizations can’t afford to rely solely on promises made by third-party providers because regulators and state attorneys generally can hold an organization responsible for a breach, even if the exploited vulnerability belonged to a provider. Organizations need to implement a framework for third-party risk management that includes performing due diligence on the security postures of third parties.

Rapid risk assessments boost both security and compliance

Teams should follow several best practices in performing rapid assessments.

Automated scanning tools can identify a range of vulnerabilities, such as weak or non-existent authentication processes, unpatched and/or outdated software and hardware, and misconfigurations in the network. An assessment of internal risks can be combined with an analysis of common external threats. Security teams can then prioritize risks based on their threat levels and establish a plan for remediation.

Penetration testing serves as another critical tool that can help security teams quickly evaluate and assess potential threats to their infrastructure. By simulating a real-world attack, it is designed to show how an organization's layered controls worked together (or did not work) to defend against a hacker. As a result, organizations have a better understanding of their security posture and vulnerabilities that may attract bad actors.

In today’s threat landscape, with the constant drumbeat of sophisticated attacks, the process needs to be done efficiently, making rapid data security assessments an essential part of any risk analysis framework. Rapid assessments enable teams to quickly identify, prioritize and remediate the greatest risks while laying plans for further remediations. It allows them to determine the appropriate steps in each case, such as whether they need to implement encryption, access controls, intrusion prevention systems, firewalls or other measures.

After remediations have been applied, teams need to test the affected system to verify that the fixes have taken hold, and then conduct broader testing to ensure that systems are functioning as expected.

As a final step, organizations should implement a well-seasoned partner in Managed Services that can watch their security environments and remediate any vulnerabilities that occur. Out of office on vacation? Cybercriminals won’t hesitate to exploit your weaknesses over Thanksgiving dinner. Maintaining a security posture requires 24/7 dedication in today’s evolving and turbulent cyber landscape, which is where managed service providers can offer support.

Performing rapid assessments on a regular basis, such as every six months, is a good practice on its own for protecting against expensive and damaging data breaches, but it is also imperative to being able to comply with increasingly stringent privacy regulations. Documenting the steps they’ve taken, as well as those they plan to take, will enable CISOs to deliver the risk assessments regulators are looking for.

Conclusion

Security is a never-ending process, as CISOs are well aware, but so is compliance. Depending on the field they work in, businesses can face an array of compliance requirements that are frequently changing, as in the case of the recent updates to state privacy laws. In all, 20 U.S. states (so far) have privacy laws, and although there is no overarching federal privacy laws, many businesses must comply with international laws such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if they do business or monitor data subjects in the EU.

A proactive approach to security that makes use of automation in performing regular, repeatable rapid data security assessments as part of a robust risk management framework will enable CISOs to enhance data protections while keeping pace with the evolving compliance landscape.

• Trusted Signing, a Microsoft certificate-signing service, is being abused by criminals, researchers are saying
• The criminals are signing malware with short-lived, three-day certificates
• Microsoft is actively monitoring for certificate abuse

Cybersecurity experts have warned Trusted Signing, Microsoft’s code-signing platform, is being abused to grant malware certificates and help it bypass endpoint protection and antivirus programs.

Certificates are digital credentials that verify the authenticity, integrity, and security of software. They use cryptographic keys to establish secure communications and prevent tampering or impersonation, and are considered crucial for encrypting sensitive data, ensuring secure transactions, and maintaining user trust. In software development, code-signing certificates validate that an application has not been altered after release.

Microsoft describes Trusted Signing as a, “fully managed, end-to-end signing solution that simplifies the certificate signing process and helps partner developers more easily build and distribute applications.”

Lumma Stealer and others

However, BleepingComputer reports multiple researchers observing threat actors using Trusted Signing to sign their malware with “short-lived, three-day code-signing certificates”.

Software signed this way will remain valid until the certificate is revoked, which suggests that the malware could successfully bypass security solutions for a lot longer.

The malware samples they analyzed were signed by "Microsoft ID Verified CS EOC CA 01,” it was said.

Among the campaigns abusing Microsoft are Crazy Evil Traffers’ crypto heist, and Lumma Stealer.

One of the ways Microsoft seems to be tackling this issue is to only allow certificates to be issued under the name of a company that’s been operational for at least three years.

However, individuals can sign up and get faster approval, if the certificate is issued under their name.

Microsoft says it is constantly monitoring the landscape and revoking certificates that were found to have been abused.

"When we detect threats we immediately mitigate with actions such as broad certificate revocation and account suspension. The malware samples you shared are detected by our antimalware products and we have already taken action to revoke the certificates and prevent further account abuse,” the company noted.

We first reviewed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle when it initially launched on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass last November, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hardware writer Dashiell Wood said that it's "sure to go down as one of the greatest Indy adaptations in history." He went on to say that the game is "a globe-trotting adventure that will delight even those with just a passing knowledge of it. It’s also just a sheer joy to play thanks to some incredibly well-realized locations that are brimming with enough secrets to occupy you for hours at a time."

Fans of the movies who play on PS5, like myself, will now not have to wait long to dive in with pre-orders open right now. There's no news on specific PS5 features or DualSense Wireless Controller functionality yet, or indeed any graphical modes for PS5 Pro, so we'll ahve to wait and see if those details are announced in the run-up to the release date.

As AI shapes our world even further, we find ourselves at a defining intersecting moment for innovation and regulation. The EU AI Act officially going into effect and the emergence of tools like DeepSeek brings into focus the ethical implications of AI and the importance of responsible use.

Understanding and integrating AI responsibly doesn’t just stem from awareness, it requires a commitment to education, ethical practices and accountability. As technology propels us forward, businesses must uphold ethical standards to circumvent harm and bias and mitigate risk posed by AI.

By integrating a responsible approach to AI, businesses can continue to innovate while preventing misuse & misappropriation and fostering transparency. Employee training plays a pivotal role in this issue, ensuring a thorough understanding of AI ethics and compliance in practice. In a global context with varying regulatory frameworks, the challenge for companies is to build their own AI frameworks, creating a balance between regulations, ethics, and innovation. But how, and where, do we begin?

Start with compliance and employee training

As AI becomes a critical component of decision-making and daily operations, the importance of ethical AI training cannot be overstated. Organizations must recognize that implementing AI responsibly isn't just a technical challenge, but a people challenge too. A robust training program should cover key areas such as data privacy, misappropriation, transparency, accountability, and fairness, ensuring that AI use aligns with societal values and ethical principles. Neglecting this can lead to serious risks, including the misuse of AI tools, a loss of trust, damage to brand reputation, and even legal liabilities stemming from non-compliance.

To build an effective training strategy, it’s crucial to first assess the AI knowledge and skills of your workforce. Conducting baseline evaluations helps identify existing capability gaps, enabling leaders to design a training program that directly addresses those needs. Tracking progress over time ensures that employees continue to develop their skills and remain competent as AI technologies evolve.

Tailored development plans, which include regular feedback and guidance, empower employees to grow in their roles while fostering confidence in their ability to work with AI. It is crucial to understand how your organization intends to use AI, like specific use cases, and compare these needs with the skills of their workforce.

Role-specific risks must also be carefully considered. Not all employees interact with AI in the same way, so training should be customized to reflect their responsibilities. For example, employees handling sensitive data need advanced expertise in privacy protection and cybersecurity to minimize risks of data breaches.

Meanwhile, decision-makers must understand how to identify and address algorithmic bias to ensure fairness and equity in AI-driven outcomes. By creating role-based learning paths, organizations can prioritize the most relevant skills for each team member, optimizing the impact of training efforts.

Equally important is cultivating a culture of continuous learning. AI and its associated risks are constantly evolving, and regular risk assessments are essential to identify emerging knowledge gaps. Proactively updating training materials and programs helps employees stay prepared for new challenges and ensures they remain equipped to use AI responsibly over time. Additionally, incorporating practical, hands-on exercises, like simulated scenarios or ethical decision-making workshops, can reinforce learning and improve retention.

Implement ethical practices in your organization

The effective integration of AI into business processes requires organizations to adopt ethical practices that prioritize privacy, fairness, transparency, and sustainability. As AI becomes more embedded in decision-making and operations, it’s essential to ensure that its use aligns with both legal standards and ethical principles. This begins with establishing clear and prescriptive policies that outline what is and is not acceptable behavior when it comes to AI applications. These policies should provide guidance on data usage, decision-making, and accountability to prevent misuse or harm.

Compliance with global privacy regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA, is paramount. Organizations must ensure that data collection, storage, and usage practices align with these legal requirements, safeguarding consumer trust and protecting sensitive information. In addition, ethical frameworks need to account for current and emerging policies, like the EU AI Act, which aims to ensure that AI technologies are inclusive, transparent, and safe for users. This requires a proactive approach to understanding and implementing these standards.

To achieve this, organizations should establish a compliant governance structure that includes explicit policies and procedures for ethical AI use. This might involve regular auditing, rigorous testing of AI systems, and continuous monitoring to identify and mitigate potential risks. When businesses take these steps, they not only meet regulatory requirements but also build trust with their stakeholders and contribute to the sustainable and fair use of AI technology.

Investing in AI ethics training and adopting robust ethical practices are essential steps toward responsible and sustainable AI development. These efforts go beyond mere safeguards—they represent a strategic advantage. By integrating ethical principles into their AI workflows, backed with continuous and effective training, organizations can foster innovation responsibly, build enduring trust, and position themselves as leaders in shaping a future where AI serves the greater good.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #1156, are…

• SNEER
• WATCH
• FLORA
• STAIN

My winning streak continues, thanks in large part to getting plenty of green and yellow hits with my start words.

With three options on my final word (either batch, patch or WATCH) I managed to pick the correct one.

I’d like to pretend there was some science to this choice, but it was pure luck. That said, I did ask myself, “what is the most Quordley of all these words?”, which is usually the word you are least likely to think is correct.

The answers to today's Connections, game #653, are…

• YELLOW: BLACK-AND-WHITE THINGS CROSSWORD, OREO, PANDA, TUXEDO
• GREEN: ANAGRAMS ABEL, ABLE, BALE, BELA
• BLUE: U.S. PRESIDENTIAL NICKNAMES ABE, CAL, DICK, TEDDY
• PURPLE: CLEAR AS ___ A BELL, CRYSTAL, DAY, MUD

• My rating: Moderate
• My score: 1 mistake

Today’s puzzle was CLEAR AS ___ MUD to begin with and I foolishly wasted time thinking that one group was made up of famous actors CRYSTAL (Billy), BALE (Christian) and, stretching the limits of logic, DAY (Daniel Day-Lewis), and er DICK (Van Dyke).

Next, I pondered on A BELL being an abbreviation of Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone inventor.

And then, well it became as clear as CRYSTAL.

I wasn’t sure if OREO qualified but I was confident that CROSSWORD, PANDA, and TUXEDO are BLACK-AND-WHITE THINGS.

The unexpected joy of snagging a purple foursome followed, before I finally clocked that ABEL, ABLE, BALE and BELA contained the same four letters and were ANAGRAMS of each other.

All a blessing, as I would never have gotten U.S. PRESIDENTIAL NICKNAMES in a month of Super Tuesdays.

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

• Apple is rolling out lossless audio and ultra-low-latency support to AirPods Max with USB-C
• You'll still need a cable though: Apple's introduced a new USB-C to 3.5mm audio option
• It's the first major software update for Apple's over-ears, which were refreshed with USB-C in September 2024

While iOS 18.4 won't introduce the AI-infused Siri, it will expand the feature set and capabilities of Apple’s AirPods Max. The Cupertino giant's flagship over-ear headphones last received an update in September 2024, with a USB-C port and new colors, but no changes to the audio performance.

That will change with iOS 18.4, though, as when Apple ships the software update in April, AirPods Max will get support for lossless and ultra-low latency audio when used with a cable. Yes, note the catch: it won’t be available wirelessly.

While you might be thinking you’re limited to a USB-C to USB-C cable, ie. the one that comes in the box with AirPods Max, Apple is also – finally – bringing back a USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable to let you unlock listening in better quality with more devices. Yes, you'll need to get one of those, but if you wanted to listen to Apple Music's Lossless output on some of the best hi-res audio players it is now an option.

(Image credit: Apple)

Now, Apple Music's Lossless audio on AirPods Max with a cable will be supported up to 24-bit/48 kHz, a healthy improvement over than anything you'll get over Bluetooth. That is also an improvement over AirPods Max with Lightning, as when used with a cable, you could hit 24-bit/48 kHz audio, but it went through some additional processing.

It’s worth noting, though, that this is below Apple Music's maximum Hi-Res Lossless output – that is, 24-bit/192kHz – so you’d need one of the best headphone DACs to unlock the streaming service's full potential.

Even so, this should improve the listening experience, and lossless audio here will also be compatible with ‘Personalized Spatial Audio’ to improve immersion, and dynamic head-tracking will still be enabled here. Apple also notes that this makes the AirPods Max the first headphones to let you create, mix, and listen in the spatial audio standard with head-tracking as well.

If you’re after the lowest latency possible, maybe for the first listen of a new album or to give you a leg up when playing a AAA title like Resident Evil 3 or Assassin's Creed Shadows, plugging in via the cable is likely worth it.

Apple says the ultra-low-latency experience with AirPods Max is on par with the speakers built into the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This means that the AirPods Max should offer a meaningful improvement in lowering lag, making them a better fit for gaming or even live streaming your playing.

Two features arriving in the form of a free update is excellent news, but Apple also releasing a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable is fantastic news. It was a weird omission not to offer this alongside the original launch of AirPods Max with USB-C, and it is a very welcome addition to Apple’s cable lineup.

(Image credit: Apple)

The cable is up for order now at $39.99 / £39 / AU$65 in one size – 1.2 meters – and only comes in the color white. I do hope Apple might eventually drop it in color-matched options to the AirPods Max with USB-C – purple, blue, orange, Midnight, or Starlight – though.

We also know that iOS 18.4 – as well as iPadOS 18.4 and macOS Sequoia 15.4 – will arrive in April of 2024, and you’ll need to install that on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to get your AirPods Max with USB-C to be updated. In fact, just a few weeks back, Apple finally shed some light on how to update your AirPods.

There is also no change to pricing for AirPods Max with USB-C, in any color these over-ear cans are $549 / £499 / AU$899. Though right now, in the United States, on Amazon, they are just $479.99.

Much like Adaptive Audio or the hearing health features arriving for AirPods Pro, Apple continues to have an excellent pattern here – and that’s offering up new features months down the line as a free upgrade for its AirPods customers.

It stretches the value significantly, especially for a product like AirPods Max, which doesn’t get as frequently refreshed as AirPods Pro or AirPods – it’s nice to see feature drops like this arrive.

Let’s hope there will be more in store at Apple’s WWDC 2025, which should take place in just a few short months in June of 2025 if that tradition continues.

ChatGPT was down for many on Monday (March 24), especially users in the US, where prompts were returning error messages across multiple models, including 4o and 03-mini.

We first noticed the issue on a number of our own ChatGPT queries and then confirmed that others are reporting similar issues with the artificial intelligence platform on Downdetector and on Reddit. Dwondetector, which tracks outages across the web, noted outage reports starting at roughly 9AM ET and growing since then until then started declining around 11AM ET.

ChatGPT and Sora most recently suffered major outages late last year and in January but have been fairly stable since then.

Today's issues, which were acknowledged by OpenAI on its status page, lasted roughly three hours. However, the worst of them was only about 45 minutes (we couldn't process prompts and Sora was unavailable).

OpenAI has not published any further details on the outage beyond the acknowledgment and mitigation measures.

No answers

(Image credit: Future)

This is what the outage looks like when you're trying to get a prompt response from ChatGPT 4o.

What's notable here is that the platform is not down but ChatGPT's ability to answer after ingesting a prompt appears compromised.

ChatGPT has yet to acknowledge any issues on its X (formerly Twitter) feed but we'll keep an eye on it for updates.

Up not down

(Image credit: Future)

Downdetector's report tracker for OpenAI services has been rising since the morning (9AM ET) and steadily rising since then.

It's worth noting that the service is tracking all OpenAI services and not just ChatGPT. However, most reports we're seeing elsewhere only point to ChatGPT as the primary culprit.

The outage may not be global since our counterparts in the UK report no issues with processing prompts.

We're seeing them on both the desktop and iOS app.

Reddit gets it

(Image credit: Future)

While not everyone is reporting issues, the outage has risen to what we like to call "Reddit Level". That's when word of it props up on Reddit, a place where someone can stand up and say (post), "YoC chatGPT is not working for me. Whatsup?!" Reddit's 1.6B users will then be on the case.

In this case, the user asked if it was down and then noted how his chat history appeared to have disappeared. Thankfully, our chat history is still in place.

Sora block

(Image credit: Future)

While we don't have many individual outage reports for Sora, we did find that we can no longer log into the generative video AI platform. That's a bit worse than ChatGPT where we can at least log in and enter a prompt that currently goes nowhere.

Downdetector doesn't break out individual OpenAI service platforms, but, since this is an OpenAI outage, we can safely assume that it may be affecting more than just ChatGPT.

Signs of life

(Image credit: Future)

While we successfully entered a prompt and received a response from ChatGPT, the results spit out slowly, like a second per word. So there is still sluggishness here and we're not clear if OpenAI and ChatGPT are out of the woods, yet.

We've also contacted OpenAI for comment on the service issue and we'll update our live coverage with its response.

OpenAI confirms

(Image credit: Future)

While we have yet to hear back from OpenAI, its own status system reveals ongoing issues.

"We're currently experiencing issues," notes the page and specifically points to ChatGPT and "increased error rates."

Even though OpenAI doesn't call put Sora, we can see from the chart that it too has had a few blips this morning.

Sora coming back

(Image credit: Future)

We were able to successfully log into Sora, enter a prompt, and generate a video. That's good news for all you fans of anthropomorphic animals (our own personal favorite generative video subject).

Still, if OpenAI's servers are having trouble, you may want to wait a bit for the platform to clear the decks before you hand it any mission-critical work.

The recovery continues

(Image credit: Future)

All of ChatGPT's key models are now working again – at least in our tests – but the results still flow in very slowly. While a bit frustrating, it's preferable to the models being completely unavailable.

Similarly, Downdetector reports for OpenAI have been on the decline, and that's a good sign from the wider audience.

A return to normal

(Image credit: Future)

As you can see from the above chart, OpenAI, and ChatGPT in particular, is returning to normal operations.

OpenAI offered a small update on its status page regarding the outage, noting that it's identified the issue and is working on "implementing mitigation." Whatever OpenAI is doing, it appears to be working.

(Image credit: Future) Regular speed

(Image credit: Future)

Tests of multiple ChatGPT models show the generative AI platform is not only back, it's essentially at full speed. 4o, o1, and 03-mini are all returning answers almost instantly (the reasoning ones are designed to take a beat before spitting out a response).

Tough day for many AI

(Image credit: Future)

When ChatGPT outage reports first surfaced, we noticed that Perplexity was, according to Downdetector. It quickly recovered but now we're seeing Anthropic's Claude users reporting service issues.

Granted, Claude AI is not nearly as popular or widely used as ChatGPT but one has to wonder if these outages are in any way connected.

It is possible that some systems might be relying on the same web service provider (say they were all using AWS). Not likely, but the coincidence is interesting and, for now, unexplained.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT is almost back to normal.

It could've been worse

(Image credit: Future)

A closer look at OpenAI's status page reveals an over 99% uptime for Sora and ChatGPT, a great record by any measure. Plus, this outage, which appears nearly resolved, did not spread globally.

Multiple check-ins with our UK counterparts found a responsive ChatGPT service capable of instantly answering any prompt.

In fact, this outage didn't even warrant a red bar. There were outages in December 2024 and January of this year which were much more severe.

(Image credit: Future) It's over

(Image credit: Future)

According to OpenAI's status page, there are no longer any issues. TechRadar can confirm that ChatGPT is now functioning normally. Now it's time to get back to work with these penguins.

• Researchers claim primary target of a recent cascading supply chain attack was Coinbase
• The cryptocurrency exchange was not compromised, but hundreds of other projects might suffer
• The attack went through a GitHub Action tool

The endgame of the recent cascading supply chain attack on GitHub was to breach Coinbase, one of the world’s most popular centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, experts have claimed.

Cybersecurity researchers Unit 42 (Palo Alto), and Wiz, revealed the attack, noting although Coinbase successfully defended itself, it is difficult to deem the attack a failure, since hundreds of other projects suffered as collateral damage.

Coinbase claims no damage was done - however, 218 other repositories are thought to have been impacted as a result of this attack.

No damage to Coinbase

A cascading supply chain attack is a cyberattack where compromising one component, such as a software dependency or tool, triggers a chain reaction that spreads the breach to multiple connected systems or projects.

In this case, cybercriminals tampered with a small tool, a GitHub Action called reviewdog/action-setup@v1. It is a popular tool that helps automate tasks in software projects. How they breached this Action wasn’t revealed, but the attackers managed to get the tool to leak certain access codes into publicly visible logs.

They then used these codes to inject more malicious code into another widely used tool, called tj-actions/changed-files. This tool is part of Coinbase's development process, and by doing so, they tried to move into the exchange’s code repository, gain deeper access, and wreak more havoc.

"The attacker obtained a GitHub token with write permissions to the coinbase/agentkit repository on March 14, 2025, 15:10 UTC, less than two hours before the larger attack was initiated against tj-actions/changed-files," Palo Alto Unit 42 said.

"We followed up by sharing more details of our findings with Coinbase, which stated that the attack was unsuccessful at causing any damage to the agentkit project, or any other Coinbase asset," the researchers added.

Once the threat actors realized their attack against Coinbase was unsuccessful, they pivoted to other projects, the researchers said. We don’t know if any other attacks were more fruitful for the criminals.
