Cursor says around 5,000 people may have installed a malicious Claude Code extension.

The SpaceX-owned AI coding tool says the modified version of Claude Code appeared on its extension marketplace from 5:27AM ET and 4:35PM ET on Thursday. The extension contains malicious code that collects various information, including hostname, username, operating system, home directory path, public IP address, and more. Cursor has since removed the malicious extension from its marketplace and verified that “no other extensions were tampered with.” [Link: Cursor says up to 5,000 users affected by tampered Claude Code extension | https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/cursor-says-up-5000-users-affected-by-tampered-claude-code-extension-2026-10-30/ | Reuters]

Gemini Live might get an “offline mode” on Android.

Android Authority spotted code in a beta version of the Android Google app (v17.71.17) referencing the new mode, with the tagline, “Use Gemini Live without an internet connection.” They say the code doesn’t hint at how the local-only Gemini Live mode would work, though, or whether it would support camera and screen-sharing features.

Sony’s new glasses-free display puts 3D avatars on your desk.

The company already makes spatial reality displays for professional applications like medical imaging, but its new ELF-MN1 will target consumers when it launches in Japan on December 11th for around $343. Powered by a connected smartphone or PC, the 6-inch, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel display uses eye-tracking to create a convincing stereoscopic image that can be viewed at up to a 25-degree angle off the center of the screen.
