gThumb 4.0 has been released, and it looks like a brand new app

gThumb’s big GTK4 and Vala rewrite is now officially stable and available for download. I previewed the gThumb 4.0 alpha back in May, remarking on how much of a difference the UI refresh makes to the app – the long-serving photo manager looks like an entirely new app. Every part of gThumb’s interface benefits from the port to GTK4/libadwaita, backend performance is improved by using newer versions of libraries and desktop integration catches up – on GNOME, the modern file chooser with icon thumbnails is used. Greater use of padding and spacing gives everything – editing tools, file properties, settings, […]

📰 KDE Plasma developers squeeze a few more features into 6.8 just weeks before release

Usually, when a new version of KDE Plasma is on the horizon, its developers stop making new features and start fixing bugs. Polishing existing features instead of adding new ones is a great way to keep the final product from becoming a buggy mess. Now, with just over two weeks remaining until KDE Plasma 6.8 launches, developers have snuck in a few more features before the submission door closes.

Word may hide network-drive PDFs in Windows cache with random names

Grok 4.7 arrives on Amazon Bedrock with a 500K-token context window

xAI’s Grok 4.7 is now available through Amazon Bedrock, giving AWS customers a long-context model for coding, knowledge work, and persistent AI agents. Its four reasoning-effort levels offer control over quality, latency, and cost—but independent testing found that the highest setting uses roughly twice as many output tokens as Grok 4.6.

Метод атаки, значительно сокращающий ресурсы для подделки цифровых подписей RSA

Исследователи из Калифорнийского университета в Сан-Диего разработали усовершенствованную технику атаки на алгоритм RSA, позволяющую подделывать цифровые подписи без факторизации лежащих в основе RSA простых чисел и без необходимости восстановления закрытого ключа. Ресурсы, необходимые для совершения атаки на 1024-разрядный ключ RSA, оценены в 1380 лет вычислений на одном процессором ядре, что на имеющемся университетском кластере позволило за 5 месяцев определить параметры, необходимые для формирования фиктивных RSA-подписие (в эксперименте не использовались AI-ускорители и GPU, при их применении время вычислений может существенно сократиться). Для сравнения классический метод факторизации требует для воссоздания закрытого ключа RSA-1024 от 500 тысяч до миллиона лет вычислений на одном процессором ядре.

JadePuffer used AI agents to automate Azure attacks

Microsoft says JadePuffer used AI agents to automate reconnaissance, credential theft, lateral movement, persistence, and destructive actions in Azure. The campaign builds on the Storm-3168 attack that used two compromised service principals to map and destroy Azure resources; the newly detailed activity shows how agents helped coordinate the attack chain.
