Microsoft users warned passwords will be deleted for millions in a matter of day
If you've ever used Microsoft Authenticator to manage your passwords, it's time to export them or risk them being lost forever. The app is most commonly used for two-factor authentication, using face ID to log into email or company systems, for example. But the app, which has been downloaded over 100 million times on the Google Play store alone, was also used to store passwords with autofill until this month. Microsoft now says 'the password era is ending', urging people to turn to alternative ways of logging in, and saying the app will no longer support passwords. It's partly our fault, given we keep reusing pet names, swear words, 12345, and 'password' as not-so-foolproof keys to our kingdom. Before you panic that the company is removing support for passwords entirely across all its services, they're not – or at least, not yet. But they won't be letting you keep your list in the Authenticator app, and data will be deleted next month. If you want to keep using Microsoft to store passwords, you can use their Edge browser which will keep them all logged and ready. If you prefer a separate app so you can use passwords in Chrome, Safari, or another browser, it's time to export them so you still have access. June 2025: people were no longer able to save new passwords in Authenticator, and were shown a message warning them of coming changes. July 2025: you will not be able to use autofill with Authenticator. Payment information will be deleted. August 2025: your saved passwords will no longer be accessible in Authenticator and will be deleted. In a blog post in December last year, Microsoft said they block 7,000 attacks on passwords per second, 'almost double from a year ago', as well as an increase in phishing attacks to steal credentials by 146%. They said the reign of passwords is ending: 'Bad actors know it, which is why they're desperately accelerating password-related attacks while they still can.' They said the solution is passkeys, which 'offer an improved user experience by letting you sign in faster with your face, fingerprint, or PIN, but they also aren't susceptible to the same kinds of attacks as passwords'. If you prefer using Microsoft for your passwords, you can download the Edge app and then set it as your default password manager from Settings. In a support post, the company also set out steps you can take to export passwords to another app manager. More Trending They warned they will no longer be encrypted if you do this, so make sure to quickly delete the file after the passwords have been saved safely elsewhere. But you will need to do this before August 2025, as after this they will no longer be accessible, and any generated passwords not saved will be deleted.

This malware found in Google Play and Apple Store can steal photos from your phone — What you need to know about SparkKitty
Don't let the cute name fool you, this dangerous malware can sneak its way into your phone and steal all your photos. Researchers at IT security company Kaspersky recently discovered a new trojan malware hiding inside applications available for download on official app stores Apple App Store and Google Play. The malware researchers named SparkKitty is a cross-platform trojan, which means it can infect both Android and iOS devices. A trojan is a sneaky type of virus that hides inside supposedly legitimate applications or documents. Kaspersky researchers found SparkKitty embedded inside applications available on official app stores but some were also found in unofficial app marketplaces, hidden inside fake TikTok app installers, various gambling and adult games, and crypto-related apps. Once downloaded, it sneaks its way into the device, prompts the user to grant access to the photo gallery and then takes control and steals all the images. 'SparkKitty uploads each and every one of your snapshots to its command-and-control (C&C) server,' the researchers wrote in the report . C&C servers are hacker-controlled computers that send instructions to and remotely control an infected device. One of the infected apps found on Google Play was a messaging app with crypto exchange features called SOEX, according to the report. The app was uploaded to the Android app store and installed over 10,000 times when the researchers made the discovery. The SparkKitty-infected app found on Google Play. 'It was still available in the store at the time of this research,' the Kaspersky team said. Kaspersky notified Google, who has since removed the infected app from the app store. On the Apple app store it was found embedded inside a bitcoin app for tracking cryptocurrency rates. 'We are not sure exactly how this suspicious spy activity ended up in the app,' they said, adding that it's possible that the developers weren't aware that their app was compromised somewhere along their supply chain. But, it's also possible that the developers deliberately embedded the malware into the app, they said. Researchers also discovered SparkKitty being distributed outside official app stores, with the malware found hidden inside TikTok clones distributed via unofficial channels. The fake TikTok app carrying the SparkKitty trojan SparkKitty's predecessor SparkCat , believed to have been spreading since at least early 2024, originally targeted mobile phone users in Asia. However, researchers believe the campaign has gone beyond its original scope and have likely upscaled their operation to target those in other countries and continents, according to the report. The golden rule 'download apps from official sources only' still applies, the researchers said. However, users should also be aware that apps infected with dangerous malware are also now making their way into official app stores. According to some experts, many developers may be inadvertently adding pieces of malware into applications that are then making their way into official app stores. Other times, legitimate applications that have built a reputable reputation are compromised after a change of ownership. Kaspersky recommends a number of steps to keep devices safe In a previous interview with Metroland Media, Estyn Edwards, chief technology officer for Canadian app development company Punchcard Systems said users should take time to read reviews before downloading an app, but added they should also be aware that some reviews can be faked. Taking the time to research an app and the company is also advised. He also warned users to be wary of apps being offered for free online, when it's supposed to be bought in official app marketplaces. 'You'd probably pay for that with your privacy or with whatever they can get from you through fraud,' he warned. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
