• Asus updates MyAsus app to fix two new security issues affecting PCs
• Company confirms past issues in routers and software are now fully resolved
• Users urged to update software, use strong passwords, and disable unused services

Asus has released new security patches for its MyAsus software, following fresh reports from security researchers highlighting flaws across multiple services.

The update applies to all compatible desktops, laptops, NUCs, and All-in-One PCs, addressing two vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2025-4569 and CVE-2025-4570.

The new versions are 4.0.36.0 for x64 systems and 4.2.35.0 for Arm-based computers - and users can update through the MyAsus app or via the Microsoft Store.

Patch now

The CVE-2025-4569 flaw received a CVSS v4.0 score of 7.7, marking it as high severity. CVE-2025-4570 was rated at 6.9, a medium-level risk.

Both are resolved in the update. Asus also confirmed that is has addressed related issues in Armoury Crate, DriverHub, and specific router models, although details were limited. The company says all reported vulnerabilities have now been resolved.

This patch follows a string of vulnerability disclosures this year.

Back in April 2025, the company patched a critical vulnerability in routers using AiCloud, a service that lets users access and share files over the internet.

Tracked as CVE-2025-2492, it had a severity score of 9.2 and could allow remote attackers to execute functions without permission.

Asus urged users to disable AiCloud on unsupported models and update the firmware immediately.

Then in June 2025, Asus also patched CVE-2024-3080, a critical authentication bypass flaw affecting seven popular router models, including ZenWiFi XT8 and RT-AX88U.

That update also covered a buffer overflow issue and a system command execution bug, both tied to admin privileges.

In a related incident, a high-severity flaw tracked as CVE-2023-39780 was exploited by attackers to build a botnet using compromised routers.

That vulnerability allowed persistent access via non-volatile memory.

Asus responded by urging users to reset affected devices and use stronger credentials.

It's important to keep your router secure - regardless of the make - by checking firmware regularly, updating software, and limiting remote access features whenever possible.

• Weapons director Zach Cregger admits he's feeling the pressure after the success of his previous movie, Barbarian
• But he told TechRadar that he "feels secure" in the movie he's made
• Weapons is in theaters from August 8

Zach Cregger terrified us all in 2022 with his horror hit Barbarian and he is set to do it again with the new movie Weapons.

It's not easy following up from a breakout movie. With Barbarian scoring an impressive 92% on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics, horror fans are hoping for the same standard when it comes to Weapons.

In Cregger's latest movie, we follow the mysterious disappearances of multiple children who ran away from their homes at exactly 2:17am. Weapons viral marketing campaign had everyone talking, and now the pressure is on for it to be as good as Barbarian.

Speaking to TechRadar, Cregger told me about how he was feeling ahead of Weapons' release. He said: "I'm nervous just because I love the movie so much, and I want people to go see it, but I feel very confident because I feel secure in the movie that I made. "

"I love Weapons. I think it's a bigger riff on Barbarian. This is more and in a good way. I feel like I can sleep soundly at night no matter what happens, knowing like I did my job, but, you know, you hope people show up. "

Weapons is also Cregger's first time scoring a movie alongside two of his friends, so fans will get to hear some of his music on this project.

He told me: "I did it with two of my best friends who I was in a band with in high school, and we just kind of have the same musical mind and so the three of us, Hays and Ryan Holladay and myself, we kind of scored it.

"We scored the movie before I shot it, and then when I was editing it, you know, we just laid the score in."

One of the things I loved about Barbarian was the one word, impactful title, something that he did again with Weapons. I asked about the title and he said : "I think it's such a mysterious thing and with the mystery, it's just incredible. It just feels right."

• Square Enix has announced The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and Octopath Traveler 0
• The Adventures of Elliot arrives in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC
• Octopath Traveler 0 is exclusive to Switch and Switch 2 and is releasing on December 4

To close out the July 31 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Square Enix announced two new HD-2D role-playing games (RPGs), The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and Octopath Traveler 0.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an all-new action-adventure RPG set to arrive in 2026, for the Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

Although the game isn't releasing until next year, Switch 2 players can download a free 'Debut Demo' today that provides an early look at the game.

Developed by Team Asano, the developer behind Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default, The Millennium Tales tells the story of Elliot in a fast-paced adventure that combines thrilling real-time action and rewarding exploration.

Set in the world of Philabieldia, humanity’s last bastion is the Kingdom of Huther, protected by its tall walls and Princess Heuria’s powerful magic.

"When a mysterious set of ruins is discovered, a young adventurer named Elliot and his fairy companion Faie are sent off on a journey to investigate. What seems like a simple, if dangerous, mission soon becomes a grand saga that will be woven across time and space," Square Enix describes.

As Elliot, the player will explore an expansive world equipped with multiple weapon types, like swords, bows, chains, and sickles, which can be customized to increase stats. Faie will also have a 'Sprint' power that lets Elliot zip around faster.

The final reveal of the showcase was Octopath Traveler 0, which is the newest entry in the Octopath Traveler series, coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 4, 2025.

"Start from zero and discover the newest entry in the OCTOPATH TRAVELER series. Experience a story of restoration and retribution over the divine rings—an epic saga that unfolds across the realm of Orsterra," the game description reads.

This new entry brings all-new features and returning core elements from the series, including the HD-2D graphics that blend retro pixel art and 3D CG art, Path Actions, the Break and Boost battle system, and more.

For the first time in the series, players will be able to play as their own customized protagonist and "rebuild their hometown after great destruction is brought to it".

Physical pre-orders for Octopath Traveler 0 are now available, with digital pre-orders coming later.

• FTX shut down in 2021, but continued to generate data in the backend
• Contact information on more than 35,000 FTX Japan users found leaking
• The company could face regulatory pressure as a result

FTX Japan, the Japanese arm of the dead cryptocurrency exchange FTX, leaked sensitive data on more than 35,000 users, putting them at risk of phishing and identity theft, experts have warned.

Researchers at Cybernews said they found an exposed database with 26 million files, including usernames and real names, email addresses, postal addresses, FTX account IDs, and detailed transaction logs including information on borrowing and lending, cryptocurrencies, collateral, margin rates, and risk flags.

The files are relatively fresh, too, as some of the logs were apparently generated in July 2024.

Troubling implications

Explaining how it’s possible that an exchange that shut down in late 2021 was still generating, and thus leaking files, as early as 2024, Cybernews said FTX Japan completed its bankruptcy and withdrawals in February 2023, but its backend systems probably remained active throughout 2024.

Following the fallout of FTX, its Japanese subsidiary was acquired by another Japanese crypto exchange called bitFlyer, and was rebranded to Custodiem in 2024.

“It is unclear whether the discovered leak belongs to the actively used Custodiem infrastructure, or is an abandoned, unmodified artifact remaining after the FTX collapse,” the Cybernews researchers explained.

The implications are troubling, since cybercriminals can use the information to target people who already lost a lot in the bankruptcy. For example, Celsius customers (another crypto company that went bankrupt at approximately the same time), are being bombarded with phishing emails in which crooks impersonate the company and claim the victims are eligible for withdrawals.

At the same time, the company itself is risking further regulatory pressure, and possibly fines, as a result.

Cybernews also said that the data leak raises concerns about privacy and regulatory compliance, since under Japanese laws, crypto firms need to uphold to high standards.

How to stay safe

The breach means cybercriminals could have a field day with the leaked data, which should be more than enough of sensitive information to launch highly personalized, successful phishing campaigns, leading to identity theft, wire fraud, and even ransomware attacks.

If you're concerned you may have been caught up in the incident, don't worry - there are a number of methods to find out. HaveIBeenPwned? is probably the best resource only to check if your details have been affected, offering a run-down of every big cyber incident of the past few years.

• Weapons director Zach Cregger has admitted he "was not a believer" when it came to the movie's viral marketing
• However, the realistic marketing campaign has gone down well with fans
• The new movie is in theaters from August 8

Weapons is the hugely anticipated new movie from Zach Cregger, and while fans may be thoroughly spooked by the marketing they've seen so far, the director has revealed he was nervous at first.

The new horror movie, which arrives in cinemas on August 8, centers around a group of children who simultaneously disappear at 2:17am.

Speaking to TechRadar, Cregger said: "They came to me and they were like, 'we're thinking of doing this'. They had a term for it that I wasn't even aware of, but they're like, 'we're gonna make this website, we're gonna make it seem like it really happened.'

"And I'll be honest, I was like, 'I don't think I like this idea because we're trying to trick people', and then are people gonna get annoyed and they realize it's just a movie and they're gonna be like f*** this movie."

He added: "That was my fear, but they were like just trust us. So I was like, 'OK!', and then sure enough, everybody really responded to it, so they get all the credit, you know, and I, and I love what they did. I love it, but I was not a believer at the beginning, I'll tell you."

The website Cregger is referring to is MaybrookMissing.net, which is set up to look like a real missing person's case. There's teasers for the movie, fake CCTV footage and even a reference to his previous movie Barbarian for eagle-eyed fans.

Weapons has really gone hard on this marketing technique, which is known as an Alternate Reality Game. Movies such as Cloverfield and District 9 have adopted this approach in the past, setting up websites and hotlines to entice audiences into a story.

In my opinion, they work incredibly well with horrors or mysteries and it really got me hyped to see the movie, so it's a job well done.

This led me to ask about fan theories based on the marketing campaign, as I was sure people have drawn their own conclusions about what to expect from it. Cregger told me: "Oh yeah, I've seen a lot of theories and I don't even really want to comment on them because if I discredit some of them, then it's, I'm giving people ammo for for for spoiling it.

"But the one that I will say that I've seen a lot that I'm always just kind of like, 'wow', is that people say like an alien is involved in this, and I think that's probably my favorite fan theory."

With plenty of intrigue here, you'll have to go and see the movie if you want to unravel the mystery.

The next installment of the popular Nintendo Switch game lets you customize who the hero will be.

• Developers who published projects on PyPI with their email in package metadata are being targeted
• They are asked to "verify" their email address with a fake PyPI platform
• The "verification" process relays login credentials to attackers

Python developers are being targeted with dangerous phishing attacks, The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has warned .

PSF said threat actors were actively targeting developers who have published projects on PyPI with their email in package metadata. These developers are receiving emails asking them to “verify” their email address on the platform, providing a link to do so.

Clicking on the link redirects the victims to a page that looks seemingly identical to the original one - the URL for the original one is PyPI.org, and for the spoofed one - PyPJ.org, a difference small enough to pass under some people’s radars. This type of fraud is called “typosquatting” and is often used in attacks.

Disrupting the scam

The site looks almost the same as the real thing, and prompts the users to log into their accounts. However, sharing the credentials just relays them to the attackers, who can then log into the actual site, and tamper with the packages found there.

PSF is a nonprofit organization that manages and supports the Python programming language, and operates The Python Package Index (PyPI.org), the most popular package index for the programming language in the world.

Tainting legitimate PyPI packages with malware is also a common occurrence. Many Python developers trust the platform, and use the code found there in various projects. By downloading malicious packages, they can grant attackers access to their projects, and possibly even sensitive company files.

To tackle the impersonation campaign, PyPI admins added a banner to the homepage, and have reached out to CDN providers and name registrars to terminate the phishing sites.

Python developers who received such emails are advised not to click on any links, and just delete the emails immediately. Those who are unsure if the email they received is legitimate or not are advised to open up PyPi directly in their browser, instead of clicking any links in the email.

• Kail Audio HP-1 are wireless cans with instant switching of sound profiles
• Sonic profiles for bass heavy and popular consumer headphones
• Launching at $199 / £199 / €199

If you make audio for other people to listen to, you'll know how much of a pain it is to have to listen on multiple things – but of course you have to do it, because what sounds good on neutral studio monitors may be too bassy on a pair of Beats or unclear on AirPods.

That means accumulating more earbuds and over-ears than you have ears, which is expensive and in my case, also very annoying because I keep forgetting to charge any of the wireless ones.

Kali Audio may have a better option.

Fancy a set of reference over-ear wireless headphones that can switch to emulate the sound of bassy boomers or airier options? That's what the new HP-1 promise to deliver, albeit without naming any specific headphone models. They're a single pair of headphones with a triple-split personality.

(Image credit: Kali Audio)Kali Audio HP-1: key features and price

The Kali Audio HP-1 headphones are over-ear closed-back headphones with 40mm drivers, a promised 18Hz to 22kHz frequency range, and custom digital signal processing profiles. There are three different voicings: studio, bass-heavy and consumer, all accessible instantly via the press of a button.

There's a 3.5mm cable (essential for latency-free music production) and the headphones also have Bluetooth for more relaxed listening, although that only has the basic standard SBC and AAC codecs, rather than aptX or LDAC.

Battery life is promised to be 40 hours, and there's active noise cancellation for when you need to take your show on the road.

The first profile, studio, is the standard one for these headphones, and it's designed to deliver transparent and accurate sound when you're mixing or mastering just like any other pair of studio headphones.

Press a button and you'll switch to the bass-heavy mode, which emulates the sound of "headphones that are popular with hip-hop and EDM creators and fans." The difference between fairly flat headphones and the more prominent low-end of such headphones can be quite considerable, so this setting should help keep the bass tight rather than overly boomy.

The third voicing is consumer, which according to Kali Audio "replicates the sound of popular headphones sold alongside phones and computers", which is an impressively phrased way of telling me you mean AirPods without telling me you mean AirPods.

I haven't tried these headphones, so I can't say how they compare to the headphones they aim to emulate. But if Kali has cracked the sound profiles, these could be a good option for those of us who can't afford to buy a library of headphones purely for mixing. With an official of $199 / £199 / €199 (about AU$400) the Kali Audio HP-1 are well within reach for bedroom producers as well as ones with bigger budgets.

• The third game in the series is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam
• The game has a 2026 release window

Capcom has announced the next game in its Monster Hunter Stories turn-based series, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

Revealed during the July 31 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Monster Hunter Stories 3 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam in 2026.

Capcom is calling the game "the next evolution of the turn-based, story-rich RPG series," and we got a first story trailer with an art style reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, teasing an open world, a new cast of characters, and Rathalos.

"Twin Rathalos, born in a twist of fate, ignite the long dormant flames of war between two fractured nations: Azuria and Vermeil," the trailer description reads.

"You are the heir to the kingdom of Azuria, and the sole Rathalos Rider in the kingdom. On the brink of war and amidst strange phenomena threatening the world, a life changing event propels you beyond the Meridian, and on an unforgettable journey in search of the truth."

Twisted Reflection follows the second game in the series, Wings of Ruin, which was released in 2021.

It will also be the first Monster Hunter Stories title to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 since the console's release, and although the details haven't been confirmed, 60FPS is a possibility on the Switch 2 version.

There's no release date just yet, but the official website is now live.

The Zootopia 2 trailer has given us our first look at Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde’s (Jason Bateman) next adventure almost a decade after the original movie was released. In a nutshell, the Disney movie will follow the pair hot on the trail of a mysterious snake who’s suddenly shown up in town, leading them to go undercover in parts of Zootopia they’ve never explored before.

Listen, we said ourselves that Zootopia deserved a sequel, but surely not like this. As you can tell from the premise above, Zootopia 2 is already setting itself up to be a total yawnfest. I’m not sure how much that matters to the target audience of under 10s, but hey, is there a more restless demographic than them? Regardless, I think our first few minutes of footage in the Zootopia 2 trailer highlight a real issue with Disney’s lack of creative engagement.

Following in the footsteps of Turning Red, Luca and Inside Out 2 (yes, I appreciate these are collaborations with Pixar), it feels as though the studio has regressed back to its cookie-cutter cash grab approach it took the minute it started churning out multiple streams of sequels and live-action adaptations. It’s not only the lack of imagination with the storyline that’s enraged me either – there was an obvious way to be much more playful with the title.

The Zootopia 2 trailer is lacklustre at best, but why isn’t the new movie called 2ootopia?

Disney, you can have this one on me. “2ootopia” (pronounced two-topia) would have been such a lightheartened way to inject some fun back into what is already proving to be a bit of a lazy launch. The internet often jokes about sequels adding their movie number into their title, and aside from us being genuinely hilarious on social media, it’s an easy win as far as kids films are concerned. Young’uns need something big and bold to grab onto, and that starts with the first impression a movie makes.

Surely I shouldn’t be telling the most famous animation company in the world how to do something as basic as their actual job, but if the best they have for Zootopia 2 is setting a snake loose in town only to be caught again, their heads clearly need a wobble. It’s certainly a nice touch to include a therapy session as a gentle way to poke fun at how we perceive ourselves – it’s definitely the strongest scene we’ve seen so far – but how much is that just superficial lip service? If you want to play it safe, it’s better to give the illusion of doing something different, and that’s exactly what Disney has done here.

I love Judy Hopps more than life itself, so I’m really hoping I’m wrong with my first-take assessment of the Zootopia 2 trailer. The fact I’ve not got a single interesting thing to say about it isn’t the best start, but at least there’s always time to rebrand to 2ootopia.

Zootopia 2 is set to be released on November 26, 2025.
