Nvidia announced multiple new products this Monday during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The tech giant unveiled a personal AI desktop supercomputer, a new AI technology to train robots and vehicles, and new graphic cards.

In a Rush? Here are the Quick Facts!

  • Nvidia’s new personal AI supercomputer Project DIGITS will be available in May starting at $3,000.
  • The new open-model Nvidia Cosmos will accelerate video processing and training for robots and autonomous vehicles.
  • The new RTX 50 series chips will improve video and enhance images to generate more realistic figures.

During a 90-minute keynote, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang introduced the company’s new technologies with videos and more details of the latest products. Most products focus on AI innovation.

“It started with perception AI, understanding images, words, and sounds. Then generative AI, creating text, images, and sound,” said Huang at the event. “Now, we’re entering the era of ‘physical AI’, AI that can proceed, reason, plan, and act.”

The tech giant announced a new personal AI supercomputer called Project DIGITS , including an NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, that will be available in May starting at $3,000. The new device has been designed for data scientists, AI researchers, students, and those who need to run and deploy advanced AI models.

“AI will be mainstream in every application for every industry. With Project DIGITS, the Grace Blackwell Superchip comes to millions of developers,” said Huang.

Nvidia also launched Nvidia Cosmos , a new platform under an open model license—available for download through the company’s NGC catalog or Hugging Face—to accelerate video processing and training for robots and autonomous vehicles through “synthetic” data—realistic artificially generated data.

Huang also announced a new partnership with Toyota to build next-generation electric vehicles—the Japanese automaker also partnered with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation to build a zero-traffic accident AI platform a few months ago.

The tech giant also revealed its new Blackwell family graphic cards —the AI chips reported overheating problems a few weeks ago—the RTX 50 series which will improve video and enhance images to generate more realistic figures. Nvidia announced the new chips will be available later this month, and, according to Engadget , the prices for the new chips start at $549 for the model RTX 5070 and $1,999 for the RTX 5090.

Fake Game Sites Trick Users Into Installing Malware

A new online scam is targeting unsuspecting users with fake video game invitations that lead to malware downloads, stealing sensitive personal information.

In a Rush? Here are the Quick Facts!

  • Victims receive DM invitations to test a game, leading to a Trojan download.
  • Malware steals login credentials, cookies, passwords, and cryptocurrency wallet data.
  • Discord credentials are often targeted to expand the network of compromised accounts.

The scam, first reported by MalwareBytes , begins with a direct message (DM) on platforms like Discord, where the attacker poses as a game developer asking if the target would be interested in testing a new game they’ve created. Sometimes, victims may also receive the message via text or email .

If the target expresses interest, they are sent a download link and a password to access the game’s installation file. These files are often hosted on cloud storage platforms like Dropbox or even on compromised accounts within Discord itself, lending the scam an air of credibility.

However, instead of a game, what the victim actually downloads is an information-stealing Trojan . This story highlights the recent report showing a rise in cyberattacks aimed at young gamers .

MalwareBytes says that these Trojans can come in different forms, often disguised as simple installer files, and they are designed to steal sensitive information from the victim’s computer. The malware is typically disguised in installer formats like NSIS or MSI.

The primary purpose of these Trojans is to gather personal information, such as login credentials, session cookies, and data related to cryptocurrency wallets .

MalwareBytes explains that one of the most common types of malware used in this scam is the Nova Stealer, which specializes in stealing login details from web browsers, Discord, Steam, and even cryptocurrency wallets.

MalwareBytes adds that the Ageo Stealer operates similarly, allowing hackers to access users’ credentials and personal information.

Additionally, some versions of the Trojan, like the Hexon Stealer, are even more dangerous. They can collect a wide range of data, including saved passwords, credit card information, and Discord tokens, which hackers can use to further compromise victims’ accounts, as reported by MalwareBytes.

The stolen information often includes contact details for the victim’s friends, which criminals use to trick other users into believing they are communicating with a trusted friend. This emotional manipulation helps the scammers spread their malicious campaigns even further.

MalwareBytes says that the ultimate goal of these scams is financial gain. The hackers hope to either directly steal money or use the stolen information for fraudulent activities. If you’ve fallen for this scam, MalwareBytes says it’s crucial to keep an eye on your bank accounts and cryptocurrency wallets.

Recognizing these fake game sites can be challenging, but there are common signs to look out for. MalwareBytes says that many of the fraudulent websites use a template, which cybercriminals can easily modify to suit their needs. These sites are often hosted on unreliable platforms and are protected by services like Cloudflare, making them hard to take down.

MalwareBytes adds that some scams even use popular platforms like Blogspot to host their malicious sites, although these sites still follow a recognizable template.

MalwareBytes suggest that to protect yourself, always use up-to-date anti-malware software, and verify any suspicious messages from “friends” via other communication channels. Avoid downloading files from unsolicited messages, and stay cautious when asked to install something unexpectedly.
