Google Chrome now offers an Enhanced Protection mode that warns users when they visit sites resembling known scams. The new "suspicious site" alerts appear as smaller pop‑ups, offering options to mark a site as safe or return to safety. Unlike full‑page dangerous site warnings, these alerts indicate potential risk based on patterns similar to malicious sites. Users enable the feature in Chrome settings under Safe Browsing, which also uses AI analysis in real time. The feature requires sharing more browsing data with Google, linked to the user’s Google Account.

A security researcher demonstrated a software‑only jailbreak of the Switch 2, gaining userland access that allows running homebrew, backing up save files, and accessing most peripherals. The exploit relies on an integer overflow in the original Switch version of SmileBasic 4, a programming environment previously used in the 3DS smilehax hack. After about two weeks of testing, the researcher discovered a 32‑bit overflow that exposes an array pointer, enabling read/write access to system memory. From there, a buffer overflow in the FileSystem services module granted arbitrary read/write privileges, leading to native code execution. The proof‑of‑concept included modded characters in Mario Kart World, but the current userland exploit remains sandboxed and does not provide kernel‑level control.

Fortune’s latest report, based on Microsoft insiders, projects the next Xbox, the Helix, to cost between $1,200 and $1,800 when it launches in 2028. The Verge notes that Microsoft has historically subsidized console prices, citing a 2021 statement that the company sells hardware at a loss to profit from games and Xbox Game Pass. In 2023, Microsoft reportedly spent $1.5 billion to keep the Series X and Series S priced at $499 and $299, respectively. The report suggests that the Helix price could be reduced if Microsoft again chooses to subsidize the console.

The Atlanta Falcons shared a retro team symbol on Instagram and X this week, prompting backlash from fans who noted its resemblance to World War II‑era German Nazi imagery. The new profile picture featured red, white and black stripes on the familiar Falcons logo. A team representative said the club does not have a new logo and declined further comment. Sports logo historian Chris Creamer explained that the image was intended to match the team’s throwback uniforms for an upcoming NFC West game against the San Francisco 49ers, but noted the team could have removed the post once the backlash began.
