A lot of people (not least Engadget’s own Sam Rutherford) have been asking Microsoft to make an Xbox-branded handheld for a long time. And it looked for a while like we might be getting exactly that in the not-so distant future. But Microsoft’s priorities have reportedly shifted to improving the widely criticised performance of Windows 11 on existing third-party PC gaming handhelds.

In an exclusive report, Windows Central claims that a dedicated Xbox handheld system, which could have launched in 2027 alongside the successor to the Xbox Series X, isn’t the company’s main area of focus right now, even if it remains keen on the idea. An internally developed handheld, for which Windows Central’s Jez Corden says he has seen a number of different codenames, is not currently being worked on, and he adds that no layoffs have taken place as a result of the strategic shift.

While a native Xbox device might be some way off, the report makes clear that Microsoft is still very much active in the handheld market. A third-party console that it has been working on with ASUS, codenamed "Project Kennan", is still targeting a 2025 launch. It's likely this device, which could be equipped with AMD’s Z2 Extreme chip, will ship with an improved Windows 11 experience better suited to a controller interface.

The software’s awkward integration in early iterations of PC handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and ASUS ROG Ally has been a big problem, and it’s partly why people are so excited about the SteamOS experience no longer being exclusive to the Steam Deck. The Lenovo Legion Go S started shipping with SteamOS running out of the box this week, the first handheld not made by Valve to do so.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/we-might-not-be-getting-that-handheld-xbox-for-some-time-153844220.html?src=rss

SquareX says hackers can abuse the Fullscreen API in Safari to trick people into running remote browsersThe browser-in-the-middle attack is good for stealing login credentialsApple says guardrails are in place and will not pursue it furtherFullscreen API, a functionality in the Apple Safari browser which allows web developers to present specific elements in fullscreen mode, has a vulnerability that is being abused in convincing password theft attacks, experts have warned.Security researchers SquareX claim to have observed an increase in use in this type of attack, which leverages the browser-in-the-middle (Bitm) technique.Essentially, victims get tricked into interacting with a remote browser that’s under the attackers’ control. Since the browser is in full-screen mode, user interface (UI) and system elements are hidden, making spotting the attack somewhat more difficult.Guardrails in placeAs a result, the victims log into different accounts in a remote browser, thinking they’re doing it on their own device.They still log in, but the process is done on the attacker’s machine, which allows them to harvest login credentials, authentication cookies, and more.“SquareX’s research team has observed multiple instances of the browser’s FullScreen API being exploited to address this flaw by displaying a fullscreen BitM window that covers the parent window’s address bar, as well as a limitation specific to Safari browsers that makes fullscreen BitM attacks especially convincing,” the researchers said in the report.The “limitations specific to Safari browsers” the researchers mentioned are apparently about notifications, since the Apple browser allegedly doesn’t properly alert users when a browser window enters fullscreen mode.The researchers said that competing browsers, such as Chromium-based ones, or Firefox, show an alert whenever fullscreen is active. While they might still miss the alert, the chances are smaller compared to Safari, where there is no alert. Instead, the only signal is a swipe animation that, as the researchers claim, can easily be missed."While the attack works on all browsers, fullscreen BiTM attacks are particularly convincing on Safari browsers due to the lack of clear visual cues when going fullscreen," SquareX concluded.The researchers also said they reached out to Apple, who decided not to pursue it further - as apparently, the animation is signal enough.Via BleepingComputerYou might also likeThis ancient browser security flaw affecting Safari, Chrome and Firefox is finally being fixedTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers
