The Department of Justice and the FBI shared today that they have completed a project to remove malware used by Chinese hackers from computers in the US. The effort was essentially a court-approved counter-hack that remotely deleted malware known as PlugX from more than 4,200 computers. The agencies will notify the US owners of those impacted machines about the operation through their internet service providers.
According to the DOJ press release, hacker groups known as Mustang Panda and Twill Typhoon received backing from the Chinese government to use PlugX to infect, control and gather information from computers outside China. The action to delete the PlugX malware from US computers began in August 2024. It was conducted in cooperation with French law enforcement and with Sekoia.io, a France-based private cybersecurity company. Sekoia.io has found PlugX malware in more than 170 countries.
The Mustang Panda group has been conducting infiltration efforts around the world since at least 2014. For instance, cybersecurity firm ESET

The UK's Competition and Market's Authority (CMA) has launched an antitrust investigation into Google's search services, following similar steps from the likes of Japan, the United States and the European Union. It's the CMA's first probe under the UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2025. The regulatory body previously announced it would launch two separate investigations this month.
The CMA's investigation will look at whether Google is hindering outside innovation, giving its own services preference and collecting or using data without users' consent. "Millions of people and businesses across the UK rely on Google's search and advertising services - with 90 percent of searches happening on their platform and more than 200,000 UK businesses advertising there," said Sarah Cardell, Chief Executive of the CMA, in a release. "That's why it's so important to ensure these services are delivering good outcomes for people and businesses and that there is a level playing field, especially as AI has the potential to transform searc

Launching today in 24 metro markets, DirecTV's MySports package serves up roughly 40 sports-oriented channels, such as ACC Network, Big Ten Network, DIRECTV 4K Live, DIRECTV 4K Live 2, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, SEC Network, TBS, TNT, TruTV, and USA Network.
MySports subscribers will also get access to local ABC, Fox, and NBC stations, with ESPN and "additional" local stations (presumably including CBS affiliates, which are currently missing from the list) "coming online soon."
Besides those sports offerings, MySports subscribers will get the run of MyFree DirecTV ad-supported streaming channels, including ACC Digital Network, Big 12, Fight Network, Fuel TV, Origin Sports, Pickleball TV, Players TV, Sports Grid, Stadium Stream, Surfer TV, Swerve Combat, T2, The Jim Rome Show, TNA, Torque by History, Waypoint TV, and Women's Sports Network.
The price? At launch, MySports is actually a decent deal at $49.99 a month, just $7 a month more than the $42.99 price point Venu had been eyeing for a similar skinny sports bundle.
But that's just a three-month promotional offer, provided you sign up by February 28; after that, the monthly price for MySports jumps by $20, to $69.99 a month.
That's quite a bit more than Venu Sports would have charged—then again, there is no Venu Spo

It's looking more and more like the rumored ultra-thin iPhone we've been hearing about for the last few months will get Apple's "Air" branding. In the Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the iPhone 17 lineup will feature a new model that could be called the iPhone 17 Air, and it'll be roughly 2 millimeters thinner than any other model we've seen yet. "It will have a base-level A19 chip and a single-lens camera system," Gurman notes, and will serve "as a testing ground for future technologies, including ones that could allow for foldable devices." That and the upcoming new iPhone SE will use Apple's first in-house modem, according to Gurman.
We're also likely to see upgrades to the entry-level iPad that will make it compatible with Apple Intelligence. Gurman reports that the next generation of iPad will get the A17 Pro chip and 8 GB of memory. That news should come in the spring along with the iPhone SE and new iPad Air models, according to Gurman.
