Hacked on Stripe–$41K Gone, No Real Help from Support. What Now?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-06-04 09:56:22

I’ve always been nervous about using Stripe after reading horror stories here. Unfortunately, I took my chances due to the ease of integration, and now I’m here with my own nightmare. We’ve used Stripe for nearly 10 years as a marketplace, only allowing Standard Accounts—never had a major issue. Until yesterday. A hacker created six Express accounts, linked them to our platform, and drained our balance. Then, they started charging our users and funneling the stolen money to their Express accou

futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-04 10:25:49

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 3.1 percent chance of colliding with our planet on December 22, 2032. That makes it the highest-threat asteroid ever detected, as Euronews reports. As of late January, the probability was sitting at just 1.3 percent, which then rose to 2.1 percent last week before rising yet again. Worse yet, the space agency suggests the asteroid could hit densely populated areas of our planet — if it were to make an impact just un

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-04 10:42:36

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing out a new effect for the Translate button in Google Lens. The Translate button has a bluish-purple ring that will pulsate when there’s text to translate. The change appears in the latest beta of the Google app. Google often likes to tinker with the UI of its products. So you may occasionally see something like a button moved to a different location, a new tab in a Google app, and so on. However, these tweaks don’t usually go against

Big Tech Hijacked Steve Bannon’s Movement

gizmodo.com Matthew Gault 2025-06-04 10:50:32

Steve Bannon is out and Elon Musk is in. A man who once had an office and a whiteboard in the White House now has a podcast. It’s not nothing, but it’s not an extra-governmental agency that has access to the backend systems that make America run and hum. Banon was once the darling of right-wing media and the world’s preeminent Trump whisperer. Now he’s “Sloppy Steve,” Musk is sitting next to Trump during interviews, and Bannon says he’s ready for war. And while Bannon whines, Musk is opening th

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-06-04 11:30:52

In the past few years, there’s been plenty of Star Trek to talk about—new shows starting, older shows coming to their ends, the franchise’s future on screens big and small alike (although not always entirely successfully). But for some Trek diehards, a peculiar string of numbers is all that has been on their lips: 765874. That number—the purported Starfleet serial number of Yeoman J. M. Colt from the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage”—is the title that has been given to a series of sho

Netflix has become a reliable platform for dating shows with a twist, like Love Is Blind, the one where you have to get engaged immediately, or Too Hot To Handle, the one where everyone has to be celibate.

The best TV antenna of 2025: Expert tested

If you love having the option of live TV but don't need (or want) to shell out for expensive premium cable packages, basic TV antennas are a great and low-cost way to watch news, sports, and other live events. Contrary to popular belief, there are a bunch of OTA (over-the-air) TV channels that you can access for free with a solid antenna, though streaming services would love to tell you otherwise.
