Mobile security firm Pradeo has discovered an app in the Google Play Store that was supposed to be used to help Android users feel safer online. Instead, the app turned out to be a "trojandropper" used by hackers to disseminate malware on consumers' mobile devices. The app, called 2FA Authenticator, was installed by over 10,000 users. This app drops malware into your device that steals your banking information and grabs your money The irony is clear. 2FA, also known as two-factor authentication, is used to validate your identity.

  Well, this is a weird one. Apparently a new ad for Destiny 2’s Witch Queen expansion has been making the rounds, not on social media, but as a Google Adsense insert, as in, one of those little autoplaying videos that spools up when you visit a website. And somehow, it manages to reveal more new things than anything we’ve seen from the most recent  official  Destiny 2 Witch Queen adds, including two significant new weapons.  I suppose you  could  consider this  spoilers , even though this is very much an ad made by Bungie? The first weapon is seen above, and while I’m not sure if it’s an exotic or a legendary (pretty sure it would be exotic), it appears to be some sort of arc railgun/machine gun hybrid. The second weapon is uh, something else entirely. In what  definitely  has to be an exotic, a grenade launcher that appears to shoot exploding Hive larva.
