The notorious Sinaloa drug cartel, once led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, allegedly hacked into an FBI phone to track and murder informants working against them. This chilling revelation highlights how cartels are leveraging cybercrime to retaliate against law enforcement efforts—turning digital tools into deadly weapons.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another cartel violence story—it’s a wake-up call about how criminal networks are evolving. If cartels can breach FBI communications, it raises serious questions about the security of sensitive law enforcement data and the safety of those who cooperate with authorities. It’s a stark reminder that the drug war isn’t just fought on the streets anymore; it’s happening in the digital shadows too.

The actor who played Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag—one of the most beloved entries in the franchise—just dropped a not-so-subtle hint that a remake might be in the works. His comment about players "might have to beat it again" has fans buzzing, reviving long-standing rumors about Ubisoft revisiting the pirate-themed adventure.

Editor’s Note: Black Flag was a fan favorite for its open-world pirate action, and a modern remake could mean sharper graphics, smoother gameplay, and maybe even new content. Given Ubisoft’s recent focus on remakes (Prince of Persia, anyone?), this rumor feels plausible—and exciting for fans who’ve been waiting years to set sail in the Caribbean again.

Fortnite fans can soon suit up as the Man of Steel—the Superman skin is officially dropping in-game. The article spills the details on the release date and even hints at ways to snag the skin early, so players can flex as Clark Kent’s alter ego before everyone else.

Editor’s Note: For Fortnite players, crossover skins like Superman aren’t just cosmetics—they’re bragging rights and a way to mix pop culture with gameplay. Epic Games keeps the hype alive by dropping iconic characters, and this one’s a big deal for DC fans. Timing your unlock could mean showing off in the lobby before the crowd catches up.

Microsoft is pulling the plug on password management in its Authenticator app starting this August. If you’ve been using it to store logins, you’ll need to switch to another option—like Microsoft’s own standalone password manager or a third-party tool. The company says this is to streamline security features, but it’s still a hassle for users who relied on the app for both two-factor codes and passwords.

Editor’s Note: Password managers are supposed to make life easier, so this change feels like a step backward for anyone who liked having everything in one place. It’s not the end of the world—there are alternatives—but it’s another reminder that tech companies can yank features with little warning, leaving users scrambling to adjust. If you’re affected, now’s the time to export those saved passwords before they vanish.

A tech commentator is eyeing Samsung's rumored Galaxy S25 Edge for inspiration, suggesting Apple should swipe some of its sleek features—like an ultra-thin design—for a potential "iPhone 17 Air." The piece highlights five standout traits from Samsung’s skinny phone that could give Apple’s next release an edge.

Editor’s Note: With smartphone designs getting repetitive, this kind of cross-brand rivalry could push Apple to rethink its approach—especially if Samsung’s rumored features (like better portability or battery efficiency) prove popular. For consumers, it’s a win: more competition means cooler, more functional phones down the line.
