Microsoft's latest security update has inadvertently caused significant disruption for users who run both Windows and Linux on the same machine. The update, which was designed to address a two-year-old vulnerability in the GRUB boot loader—a critical piece of software used by many Linux systems—has led to widespread issues with Linux installations failing to boot.
In a concerning revelation, researchers have identified a previously unknown self-replicating malware that has been infiltrating Linux devices worldwide for the past year. This malware, a custom version of Mirai, notorious for infecting Linux-based servers, routers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, exhibits a unique modus operandi by installing cryptomining malware with sophisticated concealment techniques.
Google's goal is to make all of its Android apps available across multiple platforms (smartphones, tablets and desktop/laptop computers), a little like Microsoft's idea with its forthcoming OS, Windows 10, and its dedicated multi-platform app store.
Google has released a tool that lets Android apps run on any machine that can run its Chrome browser.
