Germany has formally summoned Russia’s ambassador in Berlin after publicly attributing a series of cyber and influence operations to Moscow’s GRU military intelligence agency. The action escalates a dispute over what Berlin describes as a sustained campaign of hybrid attacks against the country, warning that there will be “consequences”.

At a government press conference on Friday, December 12, Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Giese said Germany had observed a “massive increase” in hostile hybrid activity linked to Russia, ranging from

Despite the colossal influence of cryptocurrencies on commerce, computing, and even politics, the true identity of the presumed pseudonymous Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, remains a mystery in 2025. Making things trickier for identity sleuths, this individual (or perhaps the name represents a group?) disappeared without a trace on this day in 2010, that’s exactly 15 years ago.

Five lawsuits were filed in Texas this week, putting some of the biggest names in PC tech under an uncomfortable spotlight. AMD, Intel, Texas Instruments, and a company owned by Berkshire Hathaway were accused of failing to do enough to prevent their technologies from falling into Russia’s sanctioned hands, according to Bloomberg . Some of the accusatory language was highly charged, criticizing the American tech titans for “willful ignorance” or even for being “merchants of death.”

Another superb RAM-inspired bundle deal from Newegg. This is going to be an ongoing theme for a while until RAM prices start to regulate anywhere near back to normal, or at least an acceptable level. There are no specific price decreases on the RAM kits themselves, but rather the savings come by offsetting the RAM price with the discounts on bundled extras - in this case, it's a motherboard and AIO CPU cooler. You can find this deal at Newegg, where the combo

As we inch closer to CES 2026 next month, the rumor mill surrounding Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake refresh churns intensely. Just a few days ago, we covered the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus appearing on Geekbench for the first time, and now that same chip, alongside the rumored flagship Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, has been spotted at a retailer. Obligatory grain-of-salt disclaimer aside, these listings don'

TechInsights , a respected microelectronics research company, has examined Huawei's latest HiSilicon Kirin 9030 processor and discovered that it was made using what they call N+3 fabrication technology, the most advanced manufacturing process that China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) has to offer. Although TechInsights claims that SMIC's N+3 is a step towards 5nm, it lags behind 5nm-class fabrication technologies from leading chipmakers.
