The Solar Wind Is Hiding Strange Particles That Could Rewrite Space Weather

Data may challenge and reshape current models of solar wind evolution.

A recent study led by Dr. Michael Starkey of the Southwest Research Institute has delivered the first observational evidence from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission of pickup ions (PUIs) and their related wave activity in the solar wind near Earth. NASA launched the MMS mission in 2015, deploying four spacecraft to study Earth’s magnetosphere, the magnetic field that protects the planet from harmful solar and cosmic radiation.

Formation and behavior of PUIs.

Tiny Multicolor Metalenses Could Revolutionize Drone and Phone Cameras

Engineers created multi-layer metalenses that focus several wavelengths. The design could revolutionize portable optical devices. Researchers have introduced a new way to create multicolored lenses that could pave the way for a generation of compact, low-cost, and high-performance optics for port

New Lensless Camera Sees in 3D Using Ancient Pinhole Tech

A lens-free system produces sharp mid-infrared images even in low light and over long distances, creating new opportunities for improved night vision, industrial inspections, and environmental monitoring. Drawing on the centuries-old principle of pinhole imaging, researchers have developed a high

Fortra Releases Critical Patch for CVSS 10.0 GoAnywhere MFT Vulnerability

“A deserialization vulnerability in the License Servlet of Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT allows an actor with a validly forged license response signature to deserialize an arbitrary actor-controlled object, possibly leading to command injection,” Fortra said in an advisory released Thursday.

The company also noted that successful exploitation of the vulnerability is dependent on the system being publicly accessible over the internet.

Users are advised to update to the patched release – version 7.8.4, or the Sustain Release 7.6.3 – to safeguard against potential threats. If immediate patching is not possible, it’s advisable to ensure that access to the GoAnywhere Admin Console is not open to the public.

17,500 Phishing Domains Target 316 Brands Across 74 Countries in Global PhaaS Surge

The phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) offering known as Lighthouse and Lucid has been linked to more than 17,500 phishing domains targeting 316 brands from 74 countries.

“Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) deployments have risen significantly recently,” Netcraft said in a new report. “The PhaaS operators charge a monthly fee for phishing software with pre-installed templates impersonating, in some cases, hundreds of brands from countries around the world.”

Lucid was first documented by Swiss cybersecurity company PRODAFT earlier this April, detailing the phishing kit’s ability to send smishing messages via Apple iMessage and Rich Communication Services (RCS) for Android.

Steam will stop running on Windows 32-bit in January 2026

Valve has announced that its Steam digital distribution service will drop support for 32-bit versions of Windows starting January 2026.

Two years earlier, in January 2024, Steam also dropped support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, recommending users to upgrade to a newer operating system.

Although Steam will soon stop running on Windows 10 32-bit (the only 32-bit Windows version still supported), it will continue to be supported on Windows 10 64-bit, and 32-bit games will remain playable.
