In 2020, Apple added a digital car key feature to its Wallet app, allowing users to lock, unlock, and start a compatible vehicle with an iPhone or Apple Watch. The feature is currently offered by select automakers, including Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and a handful of others, and it is set to expand further.

Apple has a web page with a list of vehicle models that support iPhone car keys, but it has not been updated in a while, so it is missing some recent additions. Our list below is more up to date, but if we are missing any vehicles, let us know.

Popular Stories

Pokémon GO took the world by storm, and seemed to come out of left field, and it’s hard to believe that the game has been out for nearly a decade! There are still a huge number of people playing the game today, though, of course, nothing like the game at its peak.

Like so many people, I’m also a lapsed player, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look back on the game’s 9th anniversary (I’m weird like that) to see just what made it so special, and how it actually got me in to Pokemon in the first place.

The Strange Origins of Pokémon Go

Nintendo isn’t in the habit of of putting its intellectual property on platforms it doesn’t own, and yes I know the Pokemon Company is its own thing, but it’s one third of the partnership that controls the IP, and so far it’s been mostly a Nintendo gaming franchise.

Nintendo did dabble a bit in third-party licensing, most notoriously when they allowed Zelda and Mario onto the Philips CD-i.

Woof. Anyway, Nintendo would later release some mobile games, such as Super Mario Run, but that’s pretty much the extent of it. However, just months before Super Mario Run, we saw Pokémon GO hit mobile stores all over the world, and the game started as an April Fools’ joke.

Back in 2014, the late, great Satoru Iwata alongside Tsunekazu Ishihara (of the Pokémon Company) came up with an idea called Google Maps: Pokemon Challenge in collaboration with Google for the silly day in question. Google has a subsidiary called Niantic, and this developer has a game called Ingress. If you look at Ingress you’ll see all the bones of Pokémon GO, and Ishihara thought that the game’s design would work well for Pokémon.

Obviously, they thought the idea was worth more effort than just a prank, so over the next few years (after Iwata had sadly passed away) the different stakeholders collaborated and gave us what’s known as Pokémon GO today.

When It Caught Fire

On the sixth of July 2016, after a lengthy beta period that ended about a week prior, the game was out and within days it had become a phenomenon. It was in the news, it was on everybody’s phone, and you could see people playing it everywhere.

Of course, just like Ingress, what made Pokémon GO different from most other games was that you had to go out in the world physically to play it. While you might catch a few Pokémon in your backyard, if you wanted to get the best ones, and if you wanted to battle it out at Pokémon gyms, you’d have to leave the house.

The best thing for me, at the time, was meeting people and discovering that folks I’d least expected to play the game were totally into it. While it was probably all the media hype around the strangeness of it all, it really did feel like every person and their dog were walking around trying to get a rare Snorlax.

The Health and Safety Side Quests

Pokémon GO was a bit of a double-edged sword. For a lot of less-than-healthy nerds like yours-truly, the game made me go outside, catch some sun, and actually get some steps in. I worked as a junior staff member on a huge university campus at the time, and since I was always late for work, I had to walk about a mile from my parking spot to my office, and it was way more fun with the potential of catching some Pokémon.

Even after work, my wife and I would go to the nearest park like some weird pair of outdoorsy people, and we weren’t the only ones! So, overall, this was of benefit to people’s health, but the other thing about the world outside your house is that almost all the dangerous stuff lives there.

So Pokémon GO also had some people engage in dangerous behavior. Of course, the game itself reminded you that you have to be vigilant about your environment, and it’s hardly the game’s fault. Still, people being who they are, you got folks trespassing, walking into traffic, falling off things because they weren’t paying attention, and just generally being a danger to themselves and others.

YouTube is filled with “fail” compilations of people getting hurt while playing, and authorities all over the world had to issue statements and tighten up public safety.

A Game That Couldn’t Evolve Fast Enough

While Pokémon GO exploded in popularity at first, players quickly realized that there wasn’t much to this game. Basic features were missing at launch, and, of course, the actual servers were under immense strain at first, because clearly neither Niantic nor any of the other stakeholders in the game had any inkling it would be such a huge success.

Fanatic players quickly ran out of things to do, and the developer was scrambling to meet demand for options like PvP Pokémon battles, which, come on, that’s literally the whole premise of Pokémon.

So while the game was almost too hot to handle at first, things cooled off a bit as people hit the limits of the content. All that good stuff was still coming, but I can only imagine how truly enormous the game could have been if it was more feature-complete at launch.

The Pandemic Pivot and Second Wind

When the 2019 pandemic hit, you’d think a game based on getting people outside and interacting would die a quick death. However, Niantic pivoted quickly to make the game pandemic-friendly.

The company released a “Play Where You Are” advisory, which you can still see using the Wayback Machine, which modified gameplay to make things safe during COVID. Mainly, mechanics were buffed so that things happened faster, lasted longer, or dropped items more often.

Pokémon will appear more often, and you’d have no trouble catching a few in your own backyard. Gyms were also doubled in footprint, so that more people could participate in battles from their homes. The end result is that, for many people, Pokémon GO was actually one way to keep their sanity during lockdown.

Where Pokémon Go Is Now?

While you don’t see breathless news stories about the game or park stampedes anymore, Pokémon GO is still going strong. I think the game is now what Niantic intended it to be all along—a casual experience with a smaller, dedicated fanbase.

While I couldn’t find any truly trustworthy numbers, a live count kept by activeplayer.io shows that around 127 million people actively took part in the game in the 30-day windows before I wrote these words. That’s a lot of players, and more than enough to sustain a game like Pokémon GO for many years. After all, as long as there are new events, new mechanics, and new Pokémon, the train can keep rolling indefinitely.

Since there’s always a new mainline Pokémon game around the corner to tie in with, I think Pokémon GO will probably be a round for a long time yet.

The Legacy Pokémon Go Left Behind

Pokemon GO is a pioneering game for many different reasons. Niantic and its partners may not have expected a smash hit, but they still innovated plenty when it came to technologies like Augmented Reality, and massive cooperative multiplayer games between people who are basically just living their lives. It was always cool to run into another player during your day, and I have a feeling that the game was the start of many friendships.

For me, Pokémon GO was special for a few reasons. First, it was something that my wife and I did together. Sometimes after dinner, we’d just get in the car and cruise around the neighborhood catching Pokémon.

Maybe most importantly, Pokémon GO was what got me into Pokémon as a whole. I never really tried the mainline franchise, but after we got a little bored with Pokémon GO, I bought a pair of Nintendo 2DS consoles—the special edition Pokémon ones, and we both played through Pokémon Red and Blue together. Since then, we’ve played every mainline Pokémon game excluding Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Buying a 2DS then introduced me to Fire Emblem, and that’s probably the biggest reason I bought a New 3DS XL (or LL, depending on where you live) and later a Nintendo Switch, and now Switch 2. I wouldn’t be shocked if this little April Fools game ended up causing a similar situation for many people around the world, and shored up Nintendo’s bottom line in numerous, indirect ways.

So, while I’m unlikely to go back to Pokémon GO myself, I hope it takes at least another nine years in it!

Things are getting pricier around here, and by here, we refer to the world. Why spend extra on antivirus when you can get one for free? Before you ask, this isn’t a joke. The famous VPN includes antivirus for a pocket change.

We refer to Surfshark, and we reckon you’ve heard of it. If not, prepare to have your brain melted with this exquisite sizzling-hot summer flash sale. Get Surfshark and antivirus at a coffee price; follow along.

Save 86% on Surfshark Today

Surfshark One: Your Ticket to Complete Security

We hate overhyping things, but this ‘thing’ is almost an exception.

Surfshark’s massive summer sale includes six discounted long-term plans, but the best are biennial. The provider starts at $1.99 monthly with three extra months for 24 months, which is unbelievably affordable.

However, the star is the Surfshark One at $2.49 monthly and 86% off.

It offers the same three free months and is priced under $68 for the first 27 months. The catch is that Surfshark includes antivirus at this price, which pairs ideally with its powerful VPN encryption, streaming prowess, and more.

Surfshark became a powerhouse, and with the tough-to-beat price, it’s a no-brainer compared to the rest of the offers on the market. Adding more value is a helpful 30-day money-back guarantee.

If unsatisfied, you can be reimbursed anytime in the first month. Evaluating its benefits and shortcomings, you have virtually nothing to lose except for a few minutes for subscribing. We’re sure you have that ‘much’.

More About This VPN Provider

The low price and competitive features make Surfshark shady. It’s like a $5 pair of shoes on Temu, with questionable build quality and looks. They tempt you to grab them, but you’re afraid you’ll waste time and money.

Not today.

A glance at our Surfshark review will remove all doubts. Surfshark has been around for years, offering some of the best VPN speeds, security, privacy, and compatibility. It’s also a popular option for online streaming.

Surfshark prides itself on advanced features like double encryption with MultiHop or sidestepping censorship with the Camouflage Mode. The VPN’s ad-blocking adds a new dimension to the formula.

Additionally, it offers unlimited simultaneous connections, which its pricier competitors rarely provide. Surfshark’s abilities extend to dark web monitoring, genuine incognito browsing, and faking your ID to stay anonymous.

We haven’t addressed a vast server fleet and competent 24/7 support, which further sugarcoats the package. We haven’t mentioned many other things, but we leave them to you to explore through this unique opportunity.

Try Surfshark Risk-Free

While most of us still wish that Nintendo would’ve put Virtual Console on the Nintendo Switch, something the company thought was “too costly,” its lineup of classics via Nintendo Switch Online and its Expansion Pack have helped fill most of the void, especially now that GameCube games are being added for Switch 2 consoles.

That said, there are still quite a few classics that have yet to appear on the service, largely a ton of the Pokemon library. Oh, and the original Super Smash Bros. However, that could soon be changing, as one eagle-eyed fan thinks they’ve spotted Super Smash Bros. 64, and you won’t believe how they did it.

We’re Going To Need A New Name For Eagle-Eyed Fans

As first spotted on Famiboards, one gamer desperate for any new Nintendo Switch Online game has found what they believe is the boxart of Super Smash Bros. 64 in a trailer that dates back to one month ago.

Specifically, they believe that if you fast-forward to the 0:40 second mark, and look at the lower right-hand corner, then one of the games that is grayed out behind the options menu is Super Smash Bros. 64.

Adding fuel to the fire is another user, who dove even deeper to match the colors of the boxart with the trailer, even going as far as to discover that Glover is the game right above it.

Considering the number of Nintendo 64 games already on the service, including Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, it was always a matter of when and not if, when it came to potentially seeing Super Smash Bros. 64 on the service. Still, it’s nice to know that, at least internally, Nintendo has the game running, so hopefully it won’t be long before we can all play the game that started it all.

It’s tough to keep tabs on the ever-changing crypto gaming space, thanks to the constant flow of news: everything from big game launches and fun degen experiments to token price swings and occasional project collapses. It’s a lot to follow.

Luckily, we’re plugged in at Decrypt‘s GG. We cover the biggest happenings throughout the week, and then this weekly roundup provides a quick way to catch up, as well as find a bunch of other little bits of news from throughout the week.

Top stories

Reaper Actual revealed: Game industry veteran John Smedley has launched Distinct Possibility Studios with a new blockchain-integrated first-person shooter called Reaper Actual. The PC-based open-world multiplayer game features what Smedley said is the largest FPS map ever created—four times larger than Call of Duty: Warzone’s Al Mazrah.

Set on the war-torn island of Marova, players become “Reapers” who upgrade and defend bases while navigating conflicts between five AI-controlled factions. The game combines elements from Call of Duty: DMZ, Escape from Tarkov, and Rainbow Six Siege, Smedley told Decrypt.

Following a $30.5 million funding round, the pre-alpha Foundation version is set to release soon, requiring players to purchase a limited-edition base—either as an NFT on Tezos layer-2 network Etherlink, or via supporting Web2 platforms. The full release arrives early next year with a similar access scheme, before going free-to-play approximately six months later. Items will be tradable on both Web3 and Web2 marketplaces.

“This is the type of game that can bring millions and millions of people in, if the history of the games I’ve worked on are any evidence,” said Smedley. “We’re going to be able to sell Web2 players on this idea of Web3 done right.”

MapleStory moves ahead: MapleStory Universe is the crypto-powered evolution of the beloved 20-year-old MMORPG franchise. The ecosystem centers around MapleStory N, a PC-based game that recreates the original side-scrolling experience for its 260 million-strong player base, with in-game items as NFTs on the Avalanche-based Henesys L1 network.

Developer Nexpace plans to release over a dozen mobile and web experiences by Q1 2026 to complement the core game, Nexpace Head of Strategy Keith Kim told Decrypt. These lighter applications will allow players to grind, level up, and enhance items during commutes or breaks, addressing the reality that the original fanbase has grown up and has less time for intensive PC gaming.

The vision mirrors EA FC’s Ultimate Team model, where mobile apps support console gameplay. A web app for item enhancement launches in late July/August, followed by a character rental system by Q1 2026. Kim said that third-party developers will help build some of these experiences using API keys, with the game eventually transitioning to a permissionless system with NXPC token rewards.

Weekend reads

Infosec In Brief A security researcher looking at samples of stalkerware discovered an SQL vulnerability that allowed him to steal a database of 62,000 user accounts. 

Eric Daigle published a blog post this week detailing how he found a piece of stalkerware he wasn’t familiar with, Catwatchful, and then quickly proceeded to pwn it into temporary oblivion. 

Stalkerware or spyware is a form of software used to track people’s computer activity. It is typically installed by parents, spouses, or employers with physical access to the user’s computer, and tends to be undetectable and very hard to remove. The number of stalkerware installations has been steadily on the rise, even as it’s repeatedly been breached by online vigilantes and security researchers. 

According to Daigle, Catwatchful is a spyware kit that promises to be undetectable and unstoppable, with only the controller able to make use of it on an infected device or delete it. While it “works really well” for its intended purpose, Daigle also noted that Catwatchful made two POST requests to separate servers when he tried to log into the app. 

One of the two servers, it turned out, had no appreciable security system installed, allowing Daigle to copy plaintext login details for all 62,000 Catwatchful accounts in the group’s system, including the administrator’s. Oops. 

Working with reporters from TechCrunch, Daigle even managed to help identify the alleged administrator of Catwatchful, as well as get its hosters to take it down.

Unfortunately for its stalkees, Catwatchful has remained online as of this week, Daigle says, with temporary sites stood up to replace seized domains, and patches deployed to address the SQLI vulnerability. 

Another Swiss government partner gets ransomed

The Swiss government said this week that the Radix foundation, an NGO dedicated to healthcare promotion, was hit by ransomware. Given Radix counts a number of government agencies among its customers, the government saw fit to report the matter even though no government data was stolen. 

“As Radix has no direct access to Federal Administration systems, the attackers did not gain entry to these systems at any time,” the Swiss government said – but government data on Radix’s own systems isn’t necessarily safe, mind you. 

While it hasn’t shared how many government documents may have been exposed this time around, it could be a sizable amount. The Play ransomware gang hit a Swiss government IT supplier last year and made off with some 65,000 government files among more than a million more stolen from the biz. 

IDE extension verification is easy to spoof, say researchers

Software supply chain security is a critical part of modern cyber hygiene, and that includes verification of extensions used in IDEs. Unfortunately it’s easy to spoof such verification in several top IDEs, researchers from OX security claim.

Research from the OX team, makers of application-level security products, published research this week showing that verification in VSCode, Visual Studio and IntelliJ IDEA can all be spoofed, allowing for a malicious IDE extension to pass itself off as a trustworthy one. 

“The ability to inject malicious code into extensions, package them as VSIX/ZIP files, and install them while maintaining the verified symbols across multiple major development platforms poses a serious risk,” the OX team said. 

With verification marks no longer sufficient to judge authenticity of IDE packages, OX recommends only installing extensions directly from official marketplaces rather than from files, while extension developers and IDE makers should be sure there are multiple methods of extension signing available to ensure file security. 

It wouldn’t be a roundup without a healthcare breach

Healthcare providers are frequently targeted by data thieves, and for good reason: They’re soft targets, they possess valuable PII, and they often pay up in the case of ransomware. This week’s entrant involves US player Esse Health, based in St Louis, Missouri. 

Esse began letting customers know this week that it had been breached in April, and that data belonging to some 263,601 people was possibly stolen. Data included names, addresses, dates of birth and healthcare information – all the usual stuff – though luckily medical records themselves weren’t stolen. 

Reports from shortly after indicate the attack affected Esse phone systems and forced offices to cancel some appointments due to other outages. 

As is often the case, customers in the firing line are being given some free identity protection service, and the assurance that none of their data has been misused in any way Esse can tell – at least not yet. 

CVE program begs you to help it help itself

Things have been a bit perilous for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure of late, with the Trump administration letting funding for the program expire until it was saved, for a moment, via a temporary contract extension. CVE board members were reportedly kept in the dark about the end of the program, and now Congress wants a review of the program to check for mismanagement. 

In other words, there’s enough to do without thinking about how the CVE program might be improved if it doesn’t vanish down the memory hole, which is where you, dear infosec professional, come in. 

The CVE Program has created a pair of working groups, one for security researchers at CVE numbering authorities (CNAs) and another for consumers, which includes basically everyone else. 

Research Working Group members will be working to establish research norms and advising other members of the research community with an aim to “promote the CVE program,” while consumers will work to identify what users of the CVE system want and need “to ensure that the CVE Program remains aligned with real-world use cases.”
