Running Windows on your Mac used to be a hassle; full reboots, clunky partitions, and hoping Boot Camp wouldn't break your system. However, there's a smarter way. Parallels Desktop for Mac gives you the power to run Windows, Linux, or other operating systems alongside macOS with zero reboots.
Parallels creates a virtual machine on your Mac, letting you install and use another operating system just like you would on a real computer. That means you can run Excel, Access, or other Windows-only programs without switching devices or juggling complicated workarounds.
Compatible with both Intel and Apple M-series chips, Parallels also includes over 30 handy tools, such as video converters, file organizers, and screen recorders. It supports macOS Sequoia 15 and runs optimized Windows 10 and 11 environments.
This is a big upgrade over Boot Camp. There's no need to reboot your Mac to access Windows. You can drag and drop files across systems, copy and paste content between apps, and keep all your productivity tools in one place.

This is a new variation on the known Crocodilus malware, which has a primary function of taking over an Android phone to find and steal crypto wallet info. But the new behavior, discovered by Threat Fabric, is particularly interesting. According to the report (spotted by BleepingComputer), the novel behavior of the malware creates fake entries in a user's Contacts list. The idea is clever: instead of seeing an unknown number, you see a name like "Bank Support," and it's meant to put you at ease so you're more vulnerable to social engineering attacks.
Crocodilus' main functions appear to still be focused on theft of cryptocurrency and banking info, with malicious Facebook ads focusing on users in Turkey but expanding to larger operations in Europe, South America, and the United States. The social engineering aspect of the malware appears to be an afterthought… but it makes sense. If you have a Trojan program loaded onto someone's phone and you've found that they have vulnerable bank accounts or crypto wallets, you might try passing their info off to a social engineering team to see if you can steal anything else of value. (Geez, it feels weird to think about this from the perspective of a hacker. I need a shower.)
So far, the Crocodilus m
