Microsoft patches misrendered Remote Desktop warnings on multi-monitor PCs

Microsoft fixed a bug that caused the new Remote Desktop security warning dialog to render incorrectly on multi‑monitor setups after the April 2026 updates; the fix is in the optional Windows 11 KB5083631 preview (with 34 other changes). The issue affected Windows 11/10/Server and could make the warning dialog’s buttons unreadable or non‑interactive; it aligns with the standard RDP warning flow shown when opening preconfigured .rdp files. Separately, KB5083769 caused a VSS timeout that affected some backup apps on Windows 11 24H2/25H2, prompting out‑of‑band server fixes after the April updates.

RDP security prompts can misrender on multi-monitor setups after April updates

Microsoft warns of a bug where the new security warnings shown when opening Remote Desktop (RDP) files can render with unreadable text and misaligned buttons when multiple monitors use different display scaling, affecting Windows 11/10/Server after the April 2026 updates. The prompt appears before connecting and shows signer status and resource redirections; the issue follows increased attacker use of RDP in phishing campaigns (e.g., APT29).

Unveiling Hackers' Secrets: Researchers Expose Honeypot Tactics

Two security researchers deployed a network of honeypot computers exposed on the internet, allowing them to observe hackers remotely controlling compromised servers. The researchers recorded 100 hours of video footage and 190 million events, capturing hackers performing various actions such as reconnaissance, installing cryptocurrency mining malware, conducting click fraud, brute-forcing passwords, and even watching porn. The researchers classified the hackers into different types based on Dungeons and Dragons character types, including Rangers, Barbarians, Wizards, Thieves, and Bards. They believe that observing hackers in honeypots can provide valuable insights for researchers, law enforcement, and cybersecurity defensive teams.
