|
‘Closed, it’s as close as I need to a "normal" phone’s shape and dimensions, and opened up, it’s a video and entertainment powerhouse’ |
Digital Trends has gone hands-on with the recently launched Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and there’s clearly a lot to like about Google’s new handset. The highlights include a superb build and design, as well as a bright, sharp, and colorful 8-inch display when unfolded.

Downsides include its high price at $1,800, and its weight — it’s rather on the heavy side at 9.1 ounces (257 grams). The battery also seems slow to charge ...

Cybercriminals are using CAPTCHA tests as part of efforts to trick some people into downloading malware
|
The CAPTCHA tests help to trick users into thinking that malicious websites or downloads are legitimate, and the method is being increasingly used on sites purporting to offer pirated or cracked versions of video games, Digital Trends reported. Security researchers first detected the use of CAPTCHAs in malware delivery schemes last month, McAfee Labs said. After solving the CAPTCHA, users are redirected to download a file that is typically riddled with malware, in this case, Lumma Stealer. Lumma Stealer is a sophisticated information-stealing malware that targets sensitive data such as login credentials, browser cookies, saved passwords, and information from file transfer protocol (FTP) clients and cryptocurrency wallets ... |
