Saturday's Australian Open Women's Final brings together a pairing few would have predicted a fortnight ago. It's set to be a fascinating final that you'll be able to watch as it happens from anywhere in the world with our Kenin v Muguruza live stream guide.

Spanish star Garbine Muguruza may be a former Roland-Garros and Wimbledon champion, but the 26-year-old came into the tournament unseeded with little expectation of a decent run in Melbourne. While Sofia Kenin was at least ranked as a 14th seed, Saturday's match will be her maiden Grand Slam final, an achievement that few would have expected.

Muguruza has beaten three top 10 seeds on the way to the final, the most impressive of those will likely be her shock win over the in-form world number four Simona Halep.

Kenin broke the home crowd's hearts by knocking out Australia’s Ash Barty in their semi-final clash, in a close straight-sets win over the world number one.

The only previous tour-level meeting between the two finalists saw Kenin beat Muguruza at last year's China Open, which the 21-year-old won 6-0, 2-6, 6-2.

Don't miss a moment  of the 2020 Australian Open Women's Final by following our Kenin vs Muguruza live stream guide below - it doesn't even matter where on Earth you are.

Take a smartphone, shrink it and strap it to your wrist and you'll get a sense of what the TicWris Max smartwatch is trying to do. The idea, as ludicrous as it may sound, is gaining popularity in Asia.

Sold for $160 at Gearbest, this device has some interesting uses for those working in challenging outdoor environments thanks to its 4G connectivity and IP67 waterproof rating - meaning that you won’t be able to swim with it, but it should withstand a shower.

There's nothing shabby about the rest of the configuration either. It has a quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB onboard storage, a 2880mAh battery and an 8-megapixel front facing camera that does Face ID as well.

If that wasn’t enough, it runs on Android 7.1.1, has built-in GPS, Wi-Fi and can even tell the time on its 640x480-pixel 2.86-inch display. Oh and you'll be able to make phone calls as well, without the need for a separate device.

It's worth noting there’s no microSD card slot, NFC or USB port for easy file transfer and charging. Coming in at 153g, the TicWris Max is also as heavy as a smartphone, which could tire the wrist over the course of a day.

This product also comes from mainland China and will take at least a month to reach either the US or the UK (and potentially more). You may be levied a tax either directly or through the courier.

Bear in mind, we're yet to fully test the product hands-on, but once we do, you'll be able to read all about it here.

Microsoft has observed that the hacking group known as Evil Corp or TA505 has switched up the tactics in its ongoing phishing campaign to deliver malware by using malicious Excel documents.

The company provided more details on the new campaign in a series of tweets in which its researchers said that the final payload is now being delivered by using an Excel document containing a malicious macro.

Evil Corp has been active since 2014 and the cybercrime group is financially motivated. It is known for targeting retail companies as well as financial institutions by using large malicious spam campaigns powered by the Necurs botnet.

• Nearly half of workers have clicked on a phishing email
• Millions of Microsoft users are reusing passwords
• Office 365 phishing attacks targets admin accounts

Researchers from Microsoft Security Intelligence explained how Evil Corp's new campaign works in a tweet, which reads:

“The new campaign uses HTML redirectors attached to emails. When opened, the HTML leads to the download Dudear, a malicious macro-laden Excel file that drops the payload. In contrast, past Dudear email campaigns carried the malware as attachment or used malicious URLs.”

Evil Corp

This new campaign marks the first time that Evil Corp has used HTML redirectors as part of its attacks. Previous email campaigns carried out by the group used attachments or malicious download URLs to deliver their malicious payloads.

Evil Corp's latest campaign sends out phishing messages that come with HTML attachments that automatically start downloading the Excel file used to drop the payload. Victims are told to open the Excel document on their computer and to enable editing to access its contents.

Once this is done, the malware will also try to drop a remote access trojan (RAT) known as Grace Wire or FlawedGrace onto a victim's system.

The cybercriminals behind this new campaign even utilized localized HTML files in different languages in order to reach victims from all around the world.
