• Security researchers Wiz find four major DevOps tools being abused
• The misconfigurations allow threat actors to deploy cryptocurrency miners
• A quarter of all instances are at risk, so users should be on their guard

Cybercriminals have been spotted abusing misconfigurations in popular public DevOps tools to deploy cryptocurrency miners - generating valuable tokens, while raking up huge electricity and computing bills for their victims.

Security researchers from Wiz Threat Research spotted the campaign and attributed it to a threat actor named JINX-0132.

Apparently, the crooks target many DevOps tools, but four stood out: Nomad, Consul, Docker Engine API, and Gitea.

Mitigation measures

The first two are built by HashiCorp: Nomad is a workload orchestrator that schedules and manages the deployment of containers, virtual machines, and standalone applications across clusters, while Consul is a service networking solution that provides service discovery, health checking, configuration, and segmentation for distributed applications.

Docker Engine API is a RESTful API that allows developers and automation tools to interact with the Docker daemon to manage containers, images, networks, and volumes, and Gitea is a self-hosted Git service that provides source code hosting, issue tracking, code review, and collaborative development tools through a web interface.

“Misconfiguration abuse by threat actors can often go under defenders’ radar, especially if the affected application isn’t well known as an attack vector,” the researchers explained.

“A key characteristic of JINX-0132's methodology is the seemingly deliberate avoidance of any unique, traditional identifiers that could be used by defenders as Indicators of Compromise. Instead of utilizing attacker-controlled servers for payload delivery, they download tools directly from public GitHub repositories.”

The problem seems to be quite widespread, too, as up to a quarter of all cloud users could be exposed. In the report, the researchers said that 25% of all cloud environments are running at least one of the four technologies listed above. What’s more, at least 20% are running HashiCorp Consul.

"Of those environments using these DevOps tools, five percent expose them directly to the Internet, and among those exposed deployments, 30 percent are misconfigured," the team concluded.

To mitigate the risks, companies should implement strict access controls, conduct regular security audits, and perform frequent vulnerability assessments. Furthermore, they should not stall on applying patches, and should monitor their systems for abnormal resource usage.

Finally, they should secure DevOps environments against misconfigurations, restrict unauthorized command execution, and strengthen their authentication measures.

• News report claims White House executive order banning Chinese drone sales is imminent
• DJI claims its products are fully secure and that it welcomes scrutiny
• DJI has already postponed the launch of the Mavic 4 Pro in the US

According to reports in the US, the Trump administration may be about to issue a total ban on US sales of Chinese-made drones. While that might sound like disastrous news for the likes of DJI, it may in fact provide it with an excellent opportunity to finally clear up any lingering doubts over security risks.

The Washington Post claims that, as early as this week, the White House will issue multiple executive orders that could lead to companies like DJI being effectively barred from selling any new models in the US.

Assuming the reports are true (and bearing in mind that Trump has U-turned on some proposed tariff and trade policies) this would be the latest development in an ongoing cold war between the US government and Chinese drone companies.

It’s one that precedes the current administration, too. In December of last year, one of Joe Biden’s last actions as president was to sign the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1709 of which mandates that “within one year of enactment, a designated national security agency must evaluate whether communications and video surveillance equipment from [Chinese drone] manufacturers pose ‘an unacceptable risk’ to U.S. national security or the safety of American citizens.”

US politicians have often made sweeping, somewhat vague statements suggesting that data collected by Chinese-made drones could be used for purposes counter to American security or commercial interests. And the aforementioned act tasks the US’s security apparatus to definitively find out if this is the case.

Thus far, the Trump administration has yet to assign any of the five national security agencies to take up this task. DJI, however, seems keen for the process to begin as soon as possible. Back in March, DJI Head of Global Policy Adam Welsh wrote an open letter to the agency heads requesting that “any or all of your agencies” begins the evaluation right away.

“We welcome this scrutiny,” Welsh wrote. The letter went on: “DJI is confident that its products can withstand your strictest scrutiny. We are confident not only because we have nothing to hide, but because independent firms and other U.S. government agencies have repeatedly validated and confirmed that DJI’s products are secure.”

Welsh outlined that the company had implemented a number of measures to ensure that its drones keep user data secure. For instance, flight logs, photos and videos are not synced with DJI servers unless a user chooses to do so, and US-based users cannot sync flight records with DJI servers at all.

DJI drones also feature Local Data Mode, which cuts any connection between the flight app and the internet, while the app allows users to manage their data, use third-party software and easily delete information on the drone.

Welsh goes on to point out the financial knock-on effect that restricting the sale of DJI drones could have on the US economy, claiming that DJI enables more than $116 billion in economic activity across the country, while supporting almost half a million jobs.

If the Trump administration were to implement a blanket ban, it could be as a means of boosting the domestic US drone industry which, at present, appears to represent a tiny share of US drone sales compared to the likes of DJI and Autel. While it’s clear the US drone industry could use some help, would US residents really be happy to be forced into buying far pricier drone hardware, just because it wasn’t made in China?

DJI, like many non-US companies, is already experiencing trouble due to the Trump administration’s blanket tariffs – or, more accurately, the confusion surrounding if they’re actually going to be introduced or not. Citing this uncertainty, the company has postponed the launch of its excellent new flagship camera drone, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, in the US.

Let us know what you think of the rumored drone ban in the comments below.

Samsung threw us a curveball this week, or rather a ball that flies straight before making a spectacular 90-degree turn, a fold, if you will: The company plans to unveil a folding Galaxy Ultra.

Now, some might see this as a simple rebranding of the anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (or maybe they were just jealous over Apple's rumored rebranding of all platforms to year format), but I do believe it's more than that. Without a doubt, it means very good things for the Z Fold...er...Z Fold 7 Ultra's camera array, which has always lagged behind the flagship Ultra line. As with previous top-tier Galaxy S phones, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features a 200MP main camera and 50MP 5X optical zoom. By contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has just a 50MP main camera and a 10MP 3X optical zoom lens.

Most people now expect that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra (or just Galaxy Z Fold Ultra) will match the S25 Ultra camera specs.

But, to my mind, that still doesn't make this new foldable a true Ultra. To do that, it needs to incorporate the S Pen. I'm aware that the Galaxy S Ultra line didn't always feature a stylus. This happened when, in a similar fashion to what Samsung is announcing here, the Samsung Galaxy Note line disappeared and core features, like the S Pen, became part of the S21 Ultra line.

It's been four years since Samsung made that choice and, as I see it, the S Pen is now integral to the S25 Ultra's identity. It makes the phone far more versatile than flagship competitors like my beloved iPhone 16 Pro Max and many other Android rivals. It's a powerful tool when paired with Galaxy AI features like Sketch to Image, as well as note taking, and one of my favorites, drawing.

S Pens are not foreign to the Galaxy Z Fold line. You can buy a one or a special case that incorporates one. It isn't the same S Pen that slips into the S25 Ultra. You would damage the Z Fold's flexible screen if you used the traditional S Pen on it. There has never been, though, an S Pen incorporated into the Z Fold body.

There are likely good reasons for this. Chief among them is the current Z Fold 6's incredible svelte frame. Unfolded, the Z Fold 6 is 5.6mm thick. That's 0.2mm thinner than the new Galaxy S25 Edge and a few millimeters thinner than the S25 Ultra.

Still, if Samsung insists on calling this new phone an Ultra, simple "S Pen support" won't be enough. I want to see it innovate and make a special S Pen thin enough to slide inside one side of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra. It seems almost possible – after all, Samsung already removed Bluetooth support from the current S Pens. That likely means fewer components and more space, or at least the option to slim down a little bit.

It's not that I can't live with a decent S Pen Z Fold case but, considering what we're paying for the fold, and the Z Fold Ultra is unlikely to be any cheaper, why should I pay another $100 or $150 for a case and accessory? Also, the convenience of having the S Pen just a press away – it pops out of the Z Fold Ultra body – is so alluring.

So, that's my pitch. I'm all for a little strategic rebranding but, if you want me to get excited about it, it should bring some reinvention, too. A Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Ultra with an integrated S Pen would be the absolute bomb.

• Spotify held its annual Open House event in Stockholm where it addressed user feedback for Wrapped 2024
• The platform shared that the amount of negative user feedback it received was more than previous years, amounting to inaccurate streaming data on Spotify's part
• While we still have over 6 months until Wrapped 2025, Spotify shed light on its plans to improve this year's music recap

If you’re a Spotify user like myself, then you’ll definitely remember the flop that was Spotify Wrapped 2024, which received the most negative feedback than any of the platform’s music recaps in previous years – and I stayed far from quiet.

Packed with inaccurate listening data paired with a lack of creativity in its graphics, Spotify Wrapped 2024 was an epic fail, and now, Spotify itself is admitting that it got it all wrong.

Last week Spotify hosted its annual Open House event in Stockholm, inviting journalists to ask questions about its platform growth plans. In between questions about AI features and Spotify HiFi, the platform was asked about how it plans to step up its game with its annual Wrapped music recap – and CPO Gustav Söderström took the reins.

Last year, users reported inaccurate data from Spotify Wrapped which showed them artists they hadn't streamed that year. (Image credit: Future)

“If you look at the numbers, it was the biggest Wrapped we’ve ever had” Söderström responded, adding “but there was more negative feedback than we’ve seen before”. This negative feedback from users was largely in response to Wrapped’s false listening data: users reported that Wrapped showed them artists they hadn’t streamed at all in 2024.

Now that we’re almost halfway through 2025, this year’s Wrapped is already on a lot of music fans’ minds who, like me, are wondering which artists and songs will appear and if the data will be accurate this time around. It may seem far away from now, but Spotify is already “working hard on making (Wrapped) the best that it’s ever been”.

What’s in store for Spotify Wrapped 2025?

At its Open House event, Spotify’s representatives didn’t go into detail about what new measures Spotify would be adapting to improve this year’s music recap, but judging by its acknowledgement of users’ negative feedback we can assume that there will be a change in how Spotify presents your streaming data.

Söderström also addressed user feedback that compared Wrapped 2024 to the successes of previous years, sharing “I think people just wanted something newer, something that wasn’t there the year before. There was also some feedback that some of the things people loved from years before were not there”.

This leads me to think that Spotify Wrapped 2025 will most likely get a new look with some (hopefully) more innovative graphics, but the possibility that features from Wrapped’s past could return is also on the table. I’m praying for the return of the Sound Town feature from 2023, which grouped listeners into "towns" based on their own listening habits.

The last few years have seen many consumer brands embracing AI to drive growth, using it to enhance customer experience and create more tailored platforms. While B2B sellers have also begun to implement AI, they’re still a few steps behind.

According to a recent McKinsey report, only 19% of respondents are using generative AI in B2B buying and selling, with as little as 23% actively developing or experimenting with these technologies. By looking at their B2C counterparts, B2B ecommerce businesses can identify valuable examples of how AI can be implemented effectively and at scale.

At a time when traditional sales methods need to become more efficient and customers expect greater personalization and a more seamless experience, B2B sales must continue to evolve and modernize.

To stay ahead while still addressing the unique complexities of B2B, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and other businesses must evaluate where AI fits within their sales strategies and how to navigate any initial implementation challenges. Once these factors are addressed, B2B ecommerce brands have a strong opportunity to achieve significant return on investment from AI adoption, while also meeting buyers’ expectations.

Why is AI essential for B2B growth?

A new standard of personalization and efficiency is being set in B2B ecommerce, shaping a future where both sellers and buyers benefit from deeply tailored, data-driven experiences.

As digital transformation accelerates, the future of B2B is being redefined. Every touchpoint in the buyer's journey can now be seamlessly powered by AI, delivering hyper personalized content, intelligent product recommendations, and dynamic pricing, all in real-time. The era of static personas and a one-size-fits-all-marketing approach is undeniably behind us. With AI, B2B companies can create adaptive strategies that respond to customers' unique and evolving needs.

Using vast amounts of customer data, AI has the ability to identify a customer's past purchases, browsing behavior, and engagement with content, encouraging businesses to deliver hyper-personalized recommendations which specifically speak to the buyer and ultimately foster loyalty. Beyond suggesting products, AI can enhance capabilities by presenting the right products at the right time based on buyer intent, preferences, and even contextual data.

The latter can include seasons, location, or growing trends, meaning every interaction can be an opportunity to increase sales by delivering exactly what the customer needs, often before they realise it themselves.

From an operational perspective, AI is a transformative technology for B2B sellers to foster increased efficiency and productivity. AI tools can automate routine tasks like lead qualification, inventory tracking, and even customer support, freeing up valuable time for sales and service teams to focus on business strategy.

Driving efficiency with AI through smart inventory and supply chain optimization

Another key area where AI is delivering significant value is inventory and supply chain optimization. Through the use of advanced machine learning models, AI is helping businesses predict demand with unparalleled precision, ensuring they have the right products available at the right time without overstocking or running into shortages.

Having these capabilities that can predict future stock levels means that AI has the ability to analyze vast amounts of historical data, from past sales behaviors to seasonal trends and market dynamics. This works to create highly accurate forecasts.

Whether it's a sudden supply chain disruption or a shift in market conditions, AI keeps businesses one step ahead by factoring in external delays, making businesses more adaptive and resilient to unexpected changes and able to mitigate the cost impact of stockouts or surplus.

Redefining sales engagement through AI empowerment

AI is also revolutionizing B2B sales by streamlining how sales teams engage with prospects and close deals. AI-powered tools such as Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions are transforming the quoting process, allowing sales reps to generate accurate, customised quotes in real-time based on complex pricing rules, customer history, and product configurations.

Additionally, AI-driven CPQ also helps identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities by analyzing purchasing patterns and suggesting additional products that align with the customer’s needs, increasing revenue potential.

By analyzing customer data, AI enables hyper-personalized outreach at scale. Sales teams can craft messages based on behavior like website visits, previous purchases, or even sentiment analysis from emails. These personalized communications will massively boost sales operations, leading to better engagement, stronger relationships, and opening doors for further sales opportunities.

Initial implementation challenges

For businesses looking to innovate in the age of digital transformation and maximize ROI, it’s essential that they approach AI implementation strategically, starting with lower-risk tasks and gradually expanding its use and involvement.

In sectors like manufacturing and distribution, where complex system integrations are the norm, implementing AI can be technically demanding.

The intricate web of legacy systems, ERPs, CRMs, and other business tools often act as barriers to successful AI adoption. However, businesses can overcome these challenges by implementing AI gradually.

They should start with smaller, lower-risk tasks such as automating routine processes or enhancing data analytics, allowing businesses to build confidence and gradually phase AI into their existing ecosystem without overwhelming their systems.

The road ahead to digital transformation

To successfully integrate AI, businesses must grasp that AI is a tool to augment human capabilities in sales and not replace them. The combination of human insight and AI’s power will position B2B companies at the forefront of this technological revolution, resulting in growth, operational improvements, and increased revenue.

The AI boom continues to shake up the world as we know it and fuel the rapid development of new technologies. Whilst this wave of innovation is exciting, it also comes with an unprecedented level of cyber risk exposure.

Like with anything cutting edge, regulation and compliance is playing catch-up when it comes to stopping malicious hackers. But there is another growing problem on the horizon. The scale and complexity of hacking has outpaced human capacity to respond, leading to an increase in flaw remediation time and, in turn, a greater exposure to exploitation and cyber threat.

Finding the flaws is the easy part, but companies are drowning in security debt as they struggle to compete with a growing attack surface and increasingly sophisticated cyber intrusions. This not only creates capacity issues for teams fixing the flaws but also exposes businesses to critical cyber threat.

Why time is of the essence when it comes to cyber security

The process of fixing flaws often begins in earnest but tapers off over time, with other priorities taking precedence. Unfortunately, the longer a flaw survives, the less likely it is to be resolved. Research has found the time it takes to fix flaws has skyrocketed, up 47% in five years and 327% in 15, now averaging 252 days. At this rate, businesses could be waiting more than 400 days to fix vulnerabilities by 2030, plunging them into a cycle of whack-a-mole with growing security debt.

But why is this happening?

Along with the evolution of sophisticated AI tools, cyber flaws have become increasingly complex and difficult to fix. As applications become bigger and incorporate more third-party components, the scope for potential flaws increases, making it more time consuming to remediate issues. Even if an in-house team is writing flawless code, the rest of the supply chain isn’t – 70% of applications have flaws in third-party code due to the use of open-source libraries.

Another developing problem is that many teams are under immense pressure to rapidly roll out new features, thus deprioritizing security fixes unless they are absolutely critical. Severity is no longer a major driver of flaw remediation, and more companies are sleepwalking into the red of security debt.

Left unresolved, organizations become more exposed to security breaches as fix times stretch and the software ecosystem grows in complexity. The exposure to breaches is set to increase as more teams adopt AI for code generation, and with almost three quarters of organizations having accrued some level of security debt, the issue is only going to worsen without action.

The knock-on effect of the digital skills gap

While it’s all too easy to point fingers at various teams for not prioritizing cyber risk fixes, the cause of delay isn’t only down to the complexity of the flaws. The developer shortage has been bubbling away for some time, and it is no surprise it is having a knock-on effect on security debt.

The combination of the increase in pressure to tackle cyber risks and the global skills shortage means developers are at breaking point. Finding developers or security specialists with both domain knowledge and security expertise is challenging. Until we find a way to close the digital skills gap, this limited capacity will delay fix timelines further.

Fixing flaws faster

But it’s not all doom and gloom. There are ways organizations can tackle the problem of security debt and get their cyber resilience back on track. By having visibility and proper integration across the whole Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), companies are now able to prevent net new flaws through automation and feedback loops. This can be achieved at scale with AI, using existing AI capabilities to boost fix capacity and speed.

The upcoming cyber policy measures set to be introduced later this year will, in turn, be critical for the automation of flaw remediation. Legislation like the UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will be a long-term solution to help direct the entire supply chain on what needs to be fixed, whilst holding bad actors accountable.

Perhaps one of the most immediate solutions is for organizations to overhaul the ways in which they approach the black hole of security debt. With third-party flaws being one of the biggest contributors to security debt, it’s time companies properly evaluated the third parties with which they engage.

Avoiding those riddled with flaws by using software composition analysis (SCA) can slash major issues across applications. True prioritization is also essential - if everything is a priority, then nothing is. Working on the flaws that are most severe as quickly as possible is a quick win for time-poor developers.

Modern software security is all about remediating real risk with context and having visibility across the board, climbing out of the weeds of security debt specifics and using available technologies to act fast. With the software ecosystem ever-growing in complexity, it’s never been more important for organizations to tap into AI solutions and re-examine how they take on these cyber-attacks.

• From the World of John Wick: Ballerina doesn't set up events to come in John Wick Chapter 5
• Ballerina's position on the John Wick timeline made that impossible, its director admits
• John Wick icon Ian McShane says discussions are ongoing about the titular hitman's next story

There were never any discussions about how From the World of John Wick: Ballerina could set up John Wick Chapter 5.

That's according to Ballerina director Len Wiseman, who told TechRadar such a scenario was due to Ballerina's position on the John Wick timeline.

For those who might not be aware: Ballerina is set between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and John Wick Chapter 4. Chronologically, that means it's the fourth film that fans should watch as part of any Wick-Verse movie marathon. For more information on that front, check out my guide on how to watch the John Wick movies in order.

But I digress. With Ballerina's story wrapping up before John Wick Chapter 4 begins, it wouldn't make sense for the Ana de Armas-led installment to pave the way for Keanu Reeves' next outing as the titular assassin.

When I asked if there were ever any plans to set up John Wick Chapter 5's plot within Ballerina's story or via a post-credits scene, Wiseman replied: "With this, we were solely focused on what Ballerina's story was.

"Because it straddles the third and fourth John Wick films, there weren't any conversations about what this necessarily does for John Wick Chapter 5. So, no, we just focused on this story and how to bring the character of Eve into this world."

That isn't to say that internal talks have taken place about what John Wick 5's story could be. In a separate interview, I asked Ian McShane, who's played The Continental New York manager Winston Scott in the franchise's five movies so far, if he'd heard anything about the next Reeves-fronted installment, which is still in the very early stages of development.

A post shared by Ballerina (@ballerinamovie)

A photo posted by on

"There are a lot of options," McShane teased. "But nobody seems to know what's going on with it at the moment.

"Of course, they [John Wick's chief creative team] want it to go on for as long as possible. There's an anime movie that'll be great, and there's a possible TV series called Under the High Table, which I believe they're delivering the scripts for right about now.

"I don't think anybody thought the John Wick universe would become as big as it is," McShane added, "And now it's about keeping the monster under control while expanding it in new directions. That's why we've got this film Ballerina, which I think Len [Wiseman] did a very good job with, and Ana [de Armas] is fantastic in. You have to have fresh blood coming into franchises like this to help it grow."

In short, we'll just have to wait for more details from the 'gun-fu' series' creators about what John Wick Chapter 5 will entail. In the meantime, get ready to watch From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, aka one of 2025's most exciting new movies, which will make its worldwide theatrical debut on Friday, June 6.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #1228, are…

• CHIDE
• RABBI
• GUSTY
• LANCE

A nice day today, with three words that were easy to get after my starter words provided plenty of correct letters.

The final word was the most challenging and put the brakes on a speedy exit. I had the R and A in the correct spots and an I, but for some reason RABBI eluded me.

The answers to today's Strands, game #459, are…

• COCKLESHELLS
• PRETTY
• MAIDS
• SILVER
• BELLS
• CONTRARY
• SPANGRAM: GARDEN

• My rating: Easy
• My score: Perfect

Knowing the words we were looking for certainly made today’s Strands an easier task. But despite it being the most obvious and easiest of words to discover, I still found CONTRARY last.

I’m sure we all had the nursery rhyme (or as some people may know it, Roud Folk Song Index number 19626) going round in our heads as we searched for the various things Contrary Mary liked lining up in her GARDEN – namely SILVER BELLS, and COCKLESHELLS, and PRETTY MAIDS all in a row.

Like many nursery rhymes this is one with macabre origins; although disputed, many scholars think the words refer to Mary Queen of Scots, with the garden representing a graveyard filled with all the people who dared to upset her.

Then again, it could just as easily be about a woman called Mary who liked sticking shells in her garden.

What is NYT Strands?

Strands is the NYT's not-so-new-any-more word game, following Wordle and Connections. It's now a fully fledged member of the NYT's games stable that has been running for a year and which can be played on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

I've got a full guide to how to play NYT Strands, complete with tips for solving it, so check that out if you're struggling to beat it each day.

• Zen 6 CPUs now have “preliminary support” in a system monitoring tool
• Typically that support comes into play around 12-18 months before release
• Given that, we could be looking at Zen 6 chips going on sale late in 2026

AMD’s Zen 6 desktop processors are more fully on the radar now in that the chips have been mentioned in a popular piece of software, hinting that they may not be too far away.

Things have been pretty quiet around the next-gen Ryzen chips to date, but the Zen 6 range has just shown up in AIDA64, a widely used system monitoring and diagnosis tool (that offers a famous stress test for CPUs).

As Tom’s Hardware spotted, HXL posted on X to share the release notes for the new beta version of AIDA64, which state that it brings in “preliminary support” for next-gen AMD desktop (and laptop) processors.

https://t.co/hYg8NXF0F8 pic.twitter.com/qPvxav0GBsJune 3, 2025

This is just the groundwork for supporting the next range of Ryzen CPUs, but it suggests that the follow-up chips to AMD’s Ryzen 9000 processors are inbound sooner than the rumor mill previously believed.

Typically, this kind of early support for a new range of CPUs will arrive in AIDA64 around 12 to 18 months before the silicon in question is available to buy.

Analysis: A new gaming champ CPU on the horizon?

That means we could conceivably witness AMD reveal its Zen 6 desktop processors at Computex 2026, in around a year, perhaps ahead of a release date for late in 2026, or maybe early in 2027. These chips are codenamed Medusa Ridge, and rumors around them claim we could see CPUs that have chiplets with 12 cores on board (as opposed to Ryzen 9000, which has 8 cores on its chiplets).

If that’s true – and it’s a sizeable if, of course – we could see the mainstream X3D processor for the next generation offer 12 cores that are all boosted by the 3D V-Cache (in a single chiplet), making that a potentially heavyweight gaming offering. The current workhorse Ryzen 9800X3D has 8 cores that can tap that crucial cache – and yes, the higher-tier Ryzen 9 X3D chips have more cores still, but don’t forget that only half of those cores get access to the 3D V-Cache (as it’s placed atop just one of the two chiplets these CPUs feature).

In theory, the name of the next series of desktop CPUs from AMD will be Ryzen 10000, although given the possibility of mistaking that for Ryzen 1000, it’s perhaps possible Team Red might divert to another naming convention.

Finally, it’s worth making it clear that I’m talking about the arrival timeframe for desktop processors here, not mobile chips. APUs for laptops are rumored to be called Medusa Point, and they likely won’t debut until sometime after the desktop offerings land, but expect them to be equally as promising.

I'm so hyped for the Nintendo Switch 2. Like, ridiculously hyped for Nintendo's next console. In fact, I'm so excited for the successor to the Nintendo Switch to launch that I pre-ordered three units: One for myself, one for my fiancée, and one for a friend so we can play Mario Kart World together.

With only a couple more days to go until the Switch 2 release, I've been gearing up for the new hardware launch by consuming every little tidbit of content about the new console possible.

From Mario Kart World to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Breath of the Wild, the hype train has well and truly left the station. Like a kid at Christmas, I can't sleep, I can't eat, and I can't wait to get fully engrossed by Nintendo's world built for 2025.

While I'm incredibly excited for Mario Kart World and experiencing Link's open world adventure in 60fps, there's one game that I'm most excited about, and I never would've thought that would be the case.

You see, I'm a massive Pokémon fan. To put it into context, I've got a Pikachu tattoo on my arm, a Lego Pikachu built out of over 5000 yellow bricks, Pokémon cards everywhere, and physical versions of most of the last 29 years of the franchise.

I've grown up with Pokémon, whether that was Pokémon Yellow, my first ever video game, to experiencing the joy of exploring Kanto after defeating the Johto Elite Four in Pokémon Gold.

I've played every Pokémon game and experienced every Pokémon region. From Kanto to Kalos, Johto to Unova, I've been there, and Pokémon has been with me through many different points of my life.

Every game that is, apart from one. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

It's all about to change...

(Image credit: Game Freak)

When Pokémon Scarlet and Violet launched in 2022, my love for Pokémon was at its peak. I was collecting cards almost weekly, was covering Pokémon TCG content for an old website I used to write for, and was playing all my favorite classic games on my Analogue Pocket (a modern-day Game Boy with hardware emulation).

Based on that setting, you'd think I'd have run to the store and bought Pokémon Scarlet and Violet at launch. Instead, the game looked terrible, ran terribly, and just made me crave the classics instead of playing a muddy-looking open-world Pokémon game with a new generation that I wasn't interested in.

Over time, as Scarlet & Violet has made its way into the Pokémon TCG, I've fallen in love with new creatures like Tandemaus and Maushold, as well as new takes on classics like Raging Bolt, Great Tusk, and Iron Thorns.

As I've grown more fond of the new generation 9 Pokémon, I've wanted to play the latest games. Unfortunately, for me, there's no way I can handle low framerates without getting motion sickness, and I don't want to play an ugly-looking open-world that feels empty to explore.

Serebii Update: A trailer for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet for Nintendo Switch 2 has been released on the Nintendo Today app https://t.co/gDbXkHSvkT pic.twitter.com/JQlc66YobGJune 2, 2025

Yesterday, Nintendo showcased a new gameplay trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on the Switch 2 through its Nintendo Today app, and as soon as I saw it, I purchased a copy of Pokémon Violet.

You see, the game now runs at higher resolution, and at what appears to be a locked 60fps, with perfectly smooth gameplay that I've been dreaming of. Best of all, the update is completely free, rather than an extra fee like some other improved versions of original Switch games.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Switch 2 is the epitome of what makes the new console a must-buy, giving you access to some of the best games of the last decade, but playable with 2025 standards.

Breath of the Wild is one of my favorite video games of all time, yet its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, barely got any playtime in my household. Why? Because when you're playing AAA games on the PS5 Pro and then turning on a choppy mess that just feels awful to play, you quickly stop being able to cope with the difference.

I get motion sick very easily when gaming, and that was the crux of the Nintendo Switch for me, especially in demanding games like Tears of the Kingdom, or badly optimized ones like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware and backwards compatibility, I'm going to get to experience so many new games over the coming weeks. These original Switch games will feel brand-new, creating one of, if not the best, launch lineups we've ever seen.

• Cybernews researchers find unsecured MongoDB database containing millions of dental user records and appointments
• It most likely belonged to a "dental marketing specialist" agency
• Users should be on their guard against possible attacks

A massive database containing personally identifiable information and other records belonging to millions of US citizens was sitting unprotected on the internet, easily obtainable for anyone who knew where to look, experts have warned.

Cybersecurity researchers at Cybernews discovered the archive in late March 2025, finding it contained roughly 2.7 million patient profiles and 8.8 million appointment records.

The data included people’s names, dates of birth, emails, postal addresses, phone numbers, gender information, chart IDs, language preferences, billing details, and appointment records (including patient metadata, timestamp, and institutional references).

Gargle

Cybernews couldn’t confirm its owner, but says that “clues buried in the database” point toward Gargle, a digital marketing company that describes itself as “specialists in dental marketing”, offering services such as website design, SEO, content marketing, PPC management, and ad creation.

“While not a healthcare provider itself, Gargle’s business model relies on handling patient-facing infrastructure, and in this case, possibly patient data,” Cybernews explained.

Other details are scarce - it's not known if Gargle really handled the database, or had a third party do it. We also don’t know for how long the archive remained unlocked, and if any malicious actors found it before Cybernews - although we do know that it was locked down the same day it was discovered.

Unsecured databases remain one of the most common causes of data leaks. Many security researchers are warning that organizations don’t understand that security in the cloud works on a model of shared responsibility.

It’s been a long road to the Switch 2 launch day, and the console hasn’t been without its leaks or controversies. From retailers canceling pre-orders to price increases for games and accessories, there’s no shortage of Switch 2 news that’s left a sour taste.

On the flipside, there is plenty to be excited about with Nintendo Switch 2. Mario Kart World is arriving on launch day, third-party support appears to be a major step-up, new features like GameChat could vastly improve the online play experience, and updates to some existing Nintendo Switch 2 games will make them look and run better than ever.

Like a kid on Christmas Eve, this final day before the Nintendo Switch 2 launch may feel as long as the time between now and its official announcement way back in January. But that’s why we’re here. At TechRadar Gaming, we’ve been covering huge console and game launches for years - everything from reviews of Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox systems to key live events like Nintendo Direct and Summer Game Fest presentations. On that note, we’re confident we’ll be able to provide an interesting and informative live run-up to the Switch 2’s launch.

We’ll also be keeping things running on launch day and beyond with our first impressions on the console, its games, accessories, and features. But for now, our early impressions as they happen will hopefully help to inform your own opinions on the console if you’ve held off from purchasing - or to simply give you something fun and informative to read while you wait for your unit to be delivered.

Nvidia’s CEO is as excited for Switch 2 as you are

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is the subject of Nintendo’s latest Creator’s Voice video. The tech company developed the original Switch’s custom Tegra X1 system-on-a-chip, and it also created the Switch 2’s custom processor, too.

In the video, Huang claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 has the “most advanced graphics ever in a mobile device.” And that could well be true; the Switch 2 handheld supports 1080p resolution at framerates up to 120fps. The device also has support for HDR for brighter, more accurate colors.
