Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery: automatic Windows Update rollback

Microsoft is introducing Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery, a mechanism that automatically rolls back a faulty driver on your devices via Windows Update, without requiring any action from you or your hardware vendor. The feature is aimed at closing a gap where a bad driver could linger on devices for weeks before a fixed version became available. It works through the existing Windows Update pipeline and requires no new software on the client side. The feature is currently in a manual testing phase and is targeted for full automation in September 2026.

В Linux-сборках эмулятора Cemu обнаружено вредоносное ПО

В течение шести дней — с 6 по 12 мая 2026 года — официальные Linux-сборки популярного эмулятора Wii U Cemu версии 2.6 были скомпрометированы. Вместо чистой программы пользователи скачивали вредоносное ПО, которое воровало пароли, ключи SSH, токены GitHub и учётные данные от облачных сервисов. Злоумышленникам удалось подменить бинарные файлы в официальном репозитории проекта на GitHub.
Под угрозой оказались пользователи, которые скачали и запустили:

Cemu-2.6-x86_64.AppImage (переносимый пакет)
cemu-2.6-ubuntu-22.04-x64.zip (архив для Ubuntu)

Важно: Flatpak-версия эмулятора, Windows и macOS-сборки не были затронуты атакой.
