Following the trend since the Xiaomi Mi 9 Series, Xiaomi released the kernel source code for the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. It encourages third-party developers and modders to develop custom mods or custom ROMs for the smartphone. The Kernel Source Code availability helps keep the custom MODs bug-free and even allows individuals to satisfy their curiosity about the device.

Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro Kernel Source Code is now available on GitHub with codename shennong-u-oss and interested folks can download it straight away.

Both the devices use custom image sensor and supports USB 3.2 Gen1 port. The support for WiFi 7 surely extends the connectivity capabilities of the device.

League of Legends Source Code Held Hostage, Hackers Demand $10M Ransom

The source code for the massively popular game League of Legends is apparently being held hostage by hackers. In exchange for not leaking the source code, the hackers are asking for a ransom worth millions. So here are all the details.

The hackers that have managed to steal the source code for the successful MOBA title are asking Riot Gamers for a sum of 10 million US Dollars. According to a new report, the hackers had sent a random email to the Riot Games which read, “Dear Riot Games, We have obtained your valuable data, including the precious anti-cheat source code and the entire game code for League of Legends and its tools, as well as Packman, your usermode anti cheat. We understand the significance of these artifacts and the impact their release to the public would have on your major titles, Valorant and League of Legends. In light of this, we are making a small request for an exchange of $10,000,000.”

For evidence, the hackers also sent the studio two large PDFs that showed that they had managed to gain access to Packman and the League of Legends source codes. The hackers also claimed that once the ransom is paid, they will erase the code from their servers and “provide insight into how the breach occurred and offer advice on preventing future breaches”. The ransom note further added that “We do not wish to harm your reputation or cause public disturbance. Our sole motivation is financial gain”.

The message also revealed that the ransom is due in 12 hours and that “failure to do so will result in the hack being made public and the extent of the breach being known to more individuals.” While Riot Games did confirm that the League of Legends source code was stolen, it has refused to comment any details regarding its plans. Although, the company did share in a tweet that they would not be paying the 10 million US Dollar sum to the hacker.

Nintendo Switch Pro possibly spotted in Nvidia’s leaked source code

Sean — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 09:01:11 +0000

A recent leak has offered us some interesting insight regarding an upcoming Nintendo console. The news arrives from an Nvidia source code leak that hints at a new Switch successor (Switch 2), or the Switch Pro.

Since the leak, the Nintendo Switch Pro and Switch 2 have begun trending on Twitter. There had previously been rumors regarding an Pro model for the Switch handheld gaming console, which would have offered native 4K support, although, these have never been confirmed by the Japanese company. With its rival console makers launching the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5, its only a matter of time till Nintendo unveils its own next gen console that features performance upgrades and other new features.

But despite various rumors, the only new release from the company was an OLED Switch variant. However, the Nvidia source code leak, following a cyberattack, revealed files that hint at a new Switch model. The folders in the leak are listed as “nvn2.” For those unaware, the original Switch had an API labelled as nvn. Keep in mind that this listing is not a direct confirmation that the company is working on a new Switch model, so take this report with a pinch of salt.

They said Nvidia DLSS source code leaked except I instantly see "nvn2" in the screenshot which sounds… Switch 2 specific code?https://t.co/sGdANFTYsg

Additionally, it is also entirely possible that “nvn2” is being used to designate something entirely different. But if it is true, then the Nintendo Switch 2/Pro will feature support for DLSS for its games. The company has seen great success with its existing Switch lineup, even including the OLED variant, so it won’t be a surprise if it planned on launching a new Pro model to compete with the recently released Steam Deck handheld gaming console that is more powerful than any Switch version in the market.

EA suffers a Data Breach, with hackers now selling FIFA 21 source code

EA has apparently been hit with a data breach. The hackers responsible for the attack stole the company’s source code of FIFA 21’s game engine along with other game development tools as well.

According to a Motherboard report, these hackers are also selling the source code for the company’s Frostbite game engine. This engine is used not only for FIFA 21 but has also been used in the studio’s popular Battlefield series a well. The group responsible is reportedly advertising that this data is for sale on hacking forums, and will only consider offers from big name members of the hacking community.

As the name suggests, Source codes are quite crucial for game development, so it is a big deal when a company like EA suffers from such a data breach. Recently, such attacks had also affected CD Projekt Red, who lost the source code for its Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 game engines. Source codes being leaked also signifies trouble for the games themselves as it enables a clear view of the inner workings of the game, letting people create cheats and hacks that the developers didn’t intend for.

While the data breach doesn’t necessarily damage a company to a great extent, it does offers leaks at future or other projects that are currently in development. Furthermore, the hackers also claimed that they also have Microsoft Xbox and Sony’s SDKs and API keys available for sale as well, with a screenshot showcasing a total of 780GB worth of stolen goods. A spokesperson from the company confirmed this news and stated that the hackers only got away with a “limited amount of game source code and related tools.”

Huawei ready to transfer its 5G tech, source code, and more to push global innovation

Sean — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 09:53:15 +0000

Earlier this week, Huawei announced that it is open and ready to transfer its 5G technology, its source codes, proprietary and secretive hardware designs and more just to push global innovation.

According to a BusinessStandard report, the Chinese tech giant, which is also the one that holds the maximum number of patents for 5G technology, made the statement back on Wednesday. Huawei Founder and CEO, Ren Zhengfei, said that “We are open to transferring all of our 5G technologies, not just licensing production to others. This will include source programmes and source code to all the hardware design secrets as well as the know-how, and the chip design.”

The senior executive made the statement during the opening ceremony of the intelligent mining innovation lab in Taiyuan. Over the last several months, a few regions like the US, Australia, the UK, and some European nations have banned the company from selling its 5G equipment to local telecom operators over alleged security risks. Huawei has actively denied any allegations and has even called for open trade policies.

Ren further added that “Both the US and China need to develop their economies, as this is good for our society and financial balance. Everyone needs this. As humanity keeps making progress, no company can develop a globalized industry alone. It requires concerted efforts around the world.” The statement from Huawei is likely to create transparency between the OEM and various governments, since it has been accused of being a front for the Chinese government and its interests on multiple occasions.

Elephone P8000 Source Code

shanos — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 10:51:18 +0000

After their initial release which saw some of the required Elephone P8000 Source Code released a few months ago, Elephone have today released the full Elephone P8000 Source Code required for devs to build their own roms, hopefully stable Marshmallow roms or properly ported existing roms such as Cyanogen CM12.1 etc to the P8000.

One thing that has let Elephone down a little in the past and not won them any favours has been the bugginess of their roms, often requiring fixes to the fixes to get things working as they should, now is the chance for these things to be put right and with hope make Elephone see how important a dev community could be to the success of their forthcoming handsets such as the Vowney and the P9000 and force their hand to release the code for these phones as well.

The Elephone P8000 Source Code can be found on github here

The P8000 can be purchased on lilited sale for just $153.99 here

To those of you that like to dabble with your phones or the more hardcore rom devs out there, I say let the fun begin and lets see what you can create.

Please leave any comments or questions below

Regards Shanos
