In H1 2026, #ESETresearch analyzed 900,000 agentic AI skills – add-ons providing instructions that teach agents how to perform specific tasks – and found 25,000 suspicious ones and more than 3,000 outright malicious. 1/6
Full pics of the keyboard, front, and back. Put them all together, and you have the new #Lenovo #ThinkPad X13 Detachable Gen 1! Specs at psref.lenovo.com/Product/Thin... Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the unboxing. Hope you enjoyed the reveal! #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday
It's time to take a look inside the 1st part of the package: A #Lenovo logo is clearly visible. It has a webcam, too, and clearly is a member of the #ThinkPad family. It's also powered by an #Intel Core Ultra 7, one of the new Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs. #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday
In H1 2026, #ESETresearch continued tracking a growing number of #EDR killers, currently counting 100+ such tools. The dominant approach is still BYOVD, with 60+ of the EDR killers abusing legitimate yet vulnerable drivers. 1/5

Here's the #Lenovo stylus. As you can see, it matches up to the pogo pins on the ThinkPad keyboard. It attaches via magnets (I think), with a really satisfying click sound. Very cool design. #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday (beginning of the week edition)

Moving along with the #Lenovo unboxing: Inside is a #ThinkPad keyboard! That TrackPoint is familiar, but it also a circular fingerprint reader (haven't seen one of those before), + a set of pogo pins at the top. I wonder what plugs in there? #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday

In all the excitement I forget to mention the second container inside the box from #Lenovo. Here's what's inside that. #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday (albeit belatedly)

We move on to the next phase of unboxing the #Lenovo laptop, opening the internal carton! #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursdays

Moving on with the #Lenovo unboxing, here's the carton that secures it during shipping. The ridges/bumps provide isolation. In photo #1, you can see a literature envelope; in #2, you can see the shipping bag inside with security seal. #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday (early edition)

The laptop #Lenovo sent me is now unboxed and out of the shipping carton. Hmm… it's a lot thinner than I expected; I've been calling it a laptop, but maybe it is something else? What could it be? #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday (weekend edition)
ESET detections of #ClickFix doubled (+108%) between H2 2025 and H1 2026 as attackers expanded beyond fake CAPTCHAs to AI platforms (#AI-fix), browser extensions (#CrashFix), and cloud authentication workflows (#ConsentFix). 1/5

Continuing my unboxing of the box from #Lenovo, I have opened the carton of accessories. It appears to contain a USB-C power supply, a USB-C cable, and a stylus! What could it all mean? #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday

Something interesting about the box #Lenovo sent me. One of the side flaps has #Lenovo #ThinkPad printed on it, but the font for Lenovo seems a bit off: it is thinner than usual, and the "e" doesn't have the slight rotation. #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday (early edition)

Given the feedback I've received on this mystery box from #Lenovo, I have decided to move things forward a bit. So, here it is, all opened up! #LenovoIN #ThinkPadThursday (belated edition)

Continuing the examination of the box #Lenovo sent last week, we can see it has an energy efficiency label on it. The waybill's poly bag obscures the QR code, but we can see it has a top rating for efficiency. Whatever is inside sips power. #ThinkPadThursday
