Kaspersky reaffirms 100% anti-tampering protection in latest AV-Comparatives test
Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations – represented by Kaspersky Endpoint Security – once again demonstrated 100% tamper protection in the latest focus penetration test by AV-Comparatives.
Attackers often attempt to disable security tools as an initial step in compromising business infrastructure. This makes tamper protection a key mechanism for preventing further compromise of the system. It safeguards the product from end-user and third-party changes, and protects services, processes, files, registry entries, and more from any unauthorized control attempts – even in the context of a privileged user (high or system integrity level). The Kaspersky solution met the strict certification requirements by successfully preventing all tampering attempts during testing.
The Anti-Tampering Test was conducted on Windows 11 to identify weaknesses that could allow adversaries to disable or modify endpoint protection solutions. Participating vendors were not informed in advance about the attack techniques. Only those products that successfully blocked 100% of the attempts received certification and had their reports published.
Kaspersky submitted Kaspersky Endpoint Security for assessment in April 2025 and earned the certification for the second consecutive time. The product effectively blocked all attempts by adversaries to disable, uninstall, or reconfigure the security software in order to prevent updates or enable attacker tools.
"We continuously engage in independent testing to ensure our technologies withstand the latest threats while delivering a seamless experience,' says Alexander Liskin, Head of Threat Research at Kaspersky. 'The Anti-Tampering test is of great value since it puts stress on the product without prior knowledge of attack vectors. We take pride in knowing that Kaspersky Endpoint Security, as part of Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations, has once again achieved top scores.'
Andreas Clementi, Founder and CEO of AV-Comparatives, added: "Our focus tests aim to highlight areas within the product worthy of improvement. Kaspersky has, again and again, displayed excellent resistance against agnostic approaches to tampering, reestablishing itself among the most secure endpoint solutions."

Shein hit with complaint from EU consumer group over 'dark patterns'
LONDON - Pan-European consumers organisation BEUC filed a complaint with the European Commission on Thursday against online fast-fashion retailer Shein over its use of "dark patterns", tactics designed to make people buy more on its app and website. Pop-ups urging customers not to leave the app or risk losing promotions, countdown timers that create time pressure to complete a purchase, and the infinite scroll on its app are among the methods Shein uses that could be considered "aggressive commercial practices", BEUC said in a report also published on Thursday. The BEUC also detailed Shein's use of frequent notifications, with one phone receiving 12 notifications from the app in a single day. "For fast fashion you need to have volume, you need to have mass consumption, and these dark patterns are designed to stimulate mass consumption," Agustin Reyna, director general of BEUC, said in an interview. "For us, to be satisfactory they need to get rid of these dark patterns, but the question is whether they will have enough incentive to do so, knowing the potential impact it can have on the volume of purchases." In a statement, Shein said: "We are already working constructively with national consumers authorities and the EU Commission to demonstrate our commitment to complying with EU laws and regulations." It added that the BEUC had not accepted its request for a meeting. Shein and rival online discount platform Temu have surged in popularity in Europe, partly helped by apps that encourage shoppers to engage with games and stand to win discounts and free products. The BEUC has also previously targeted Temu in a complaint. Shein's use of gamification, drawing shoppers to use the app regularly, has helped drive its success. In the "Puppy Keep" game on the app, users feed a virtual dog and collect points to win free items. They can gain more points by scrolling through the app, and by ordering items, but must log into the game every day or risk losing cumulative rewards. The BEUC noted that dark patterns are widely used by mass-market clothing retailers and called on the consumer protection network to include other retailers in its investigation. It said 25 of its member organisations in 21 countries, including France, Germany and Spain, joined in the grievance filed with the Commission and with the European consumer protection network. Late last month, the European Commission notified Shein of practices breaching EU consumer law and warned it would face fines if it failed to address the concerns. The company is also under scrutiny from EU tech regulators on how it complies with EU online content rules. (Reporting by Helen Reid; additional reporting by Inti Landauro; editing by Mark Heinrich)

Car review: Bentley's Continental GT Speed Hybrid commands serious road presence
Bentley ranks high among automotive nobility. Once a racing marque with notable victories, it later merged with Rolls-Royce before being reborn. Since its acquisition by the VW Group, it has thrived, thanks to the Continental GT, which blends charismatic styling, strong performance, and enduring craftsmanship. Now in its fourth generation, we were invited to experience the art of 'fine driving' in the exclusive Bentley Continental GT Speed Hybrid First Edition — and here's what went down. DESIGN & AESTHETICS Bentley calls this an all-new generation, but it feels more like a visual facelift — and that's alright. Why fix what isn't broken? Since its 2003 debut as a hunky-yet-elegant grand tourer, it has grown slimmer and more athletic with each generation. Still, at 4,895mm in length and 1,966mm in width, it commands serious road presence. Its face features single headlamps inspired by the limited-run Bacalar — the first of their kind since the 1950s — slit by an LED strip. The rest is all grille and air intakes, purposeful but not aggressive. The body, sculpted from superformed aluminium, is pinched with precise creases to create a muscular-but-restrained form, while the massive 22-inch directional turbine wheels make it look like a concept car come to life, and over them is a graceful fastback roofline. The only flaw is the overly stretched oval tail lamps on an otherwise perfectly executed rear design. Still, without a shadow of doubt, this is one of the most beautiful, artfully designed coupés — and perhaps the finest extrusion of human imagination. Adding to the luxury experience are colourful animated puddle lamps that project the Bentley emblem onto the ground and effortless soft-closing doors. Inside, the cabin feels as rich as it looks — blending masculine architecture that uses structured elements with feminine touches through the finest materials, some found in luxury handbags. Eye-grabbing highlights include 3D diamond-stitched leather upholstery, real stainless steel circular air vents with organ pulls, and a Bentley 'B' on the brake pedal — showcasing Bentley's staggering attention to detail. Modern tech includes a customisable instrument display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen backed by physical buttons for essentials like radio, phone, and navigation. The party piece, though, is the rotating display, which elegantly flips between the touchscreen, three analogue gauges, and unbroken dashboard veneer. As for gripes, the plastic centre console piece would feel more in place finished in wood or glass; and the steering column could use just an inch more extension for an ideal driving position. And there's no graceful way to enter the rear cabin, but your pride is salvaged in knowing you're stepping into a Bentley. POWERTRAIN & PERFORMANCE The smooth twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 has now been relegated to history. This new hybrid version retains the twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 and adds a 190 PS electric motor, delivering nearly 800 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque — enough to pull an 18-wheeler. It starts silently in electric vehicle (EV) mode, with a claimed 81km range, and glides like a limousine unless provoked. It also claims to reach 859km before the tank empties out, which may be closer to 650km in the real world. One can top up the 25.9 kWh battery in 2h45m with an 11 kW charger, or 8h30m via a household socket. In Sport mode, the V8 burble awakens, and with launch control activated, it hurls itself from a standstill to 100kmph in just 3.1 seconds with no drama, tyre smoke, or rear-end shimmy, thanks to all-wheel drive traction. And you'll love the satisfying crackles between shifts. For something that weighs 2,459kg, this car is unbelievably fast, which is a thought sure to upend the scientific mind. The air suspension with twin-valve dampers offers a composed ride — more refined than a 911, more involving than a Rolls-Royce Spectre. Electronic all-wheel steering aids manoeuvrability with an 11.3-metre turning radius, while the electronic limited-slip differential and massive tyres ensure confidence-inspiring cornering. And it comes with some of the largest production brakes, too. Without a shadow of doubt, this is one of the most beautiful, artfully designed coupés — and perhaps the finest extrusion of human imagination" FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITY The 260-litre boot is sizeable for a coupe and fits the mandatory golf bag, but the spare tyre and charging cables reduce it to grocery-bag capacity. The standard 650W 10-speaker audio is home-theatre loud, but our test car's 2,200W 18-speaker Naim system delivers orchestral-quality sound, though Bluetooth playback was occasionally distorted. The car's wireless Android Auto worked seamlessly for navigation and apps. You can also say 'Hey Bentley' to access various functions, though the system is sluggish and doesn't support UAE points of interest. Thankfully, handwritten input, though slow, worked. Also, the wireless phone charger is a tad inaccessible, being in the centre cubby. Keeping you cool is an excellent air conditioning system aided by seat ventilation and enhanced air ionisation. Safety features include advanced emergency braking, swerve and turn assist, adaptive cruise control, lane guidance, and a 3D surround-view camera — though lane-keeping assist occasionally wandered. VERDICT The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed is timeless beauty manifested as a two-door coupe. It features a cossetting cabin crafted from exotic materials — a designer's playground that speaks to the moneyed elite. The electric drive and air suspension deliver a soft and silent refinement, while the ability to instantly summon all 800 horses through brilliant engineering turns this grand tourer into a mad, but still refined, sports car. Minor faults can be swept under the rug, unless you're opting for long-haul staycations with friends and luggage. GOOD: Gorgeous bodywork; exquisite materials; superfluous power and comfort; 81km pure electric range BAD: Steering column could use more adjustment; limited trunk space; cramped rear seats; pricey SPECIFICATIONS Body type — 2+2-seater; 2-door premium high-performance luxury coupe Engine — Front-engine; twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 + e-motor w/ 25.9 kWh battery; all-wheel drive Transmission — 8-speed DCT (automated manual) Peak output — 782 PS (system total); 600 PS @ 6,000 rpm (ICE) + 190 PS (e-motor) - 1,000 Nm (system total); 800 Nm @ 2,000 - 4,500 rpm + 450 Nm (e-motor) 0 to 100kmph — 3.2 seconds (claimed) Top speed — 335kmph (drag limited; claimed) Price — Starting at Dh1,750,000 approx. EDITOR'S RATING - 8.5/10 stars
