A gamer faced a permanent hardware ban in Valorant after purchasing a used processor that had been blacklisted by Riot Games' anti-cheat system.

A gamer's purchase of a used AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D led to a hardware-level ban from Riot Games' Vanguard system due to the previous owner's cheating history.

Vanguard's VOX fund has aggressively increased its SpaceX holdings, which could eventually represent 20% of the portfolio's total value.

Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO) recorded $13 billion in weekly inflows, further cementing its position as the largest US-listed ETF by assets.
