Fragile, which manages NZXT's Flex rental subscription, identified the machine as a stolen rental unit worth roughly $1,500 and said the seller had no right to sell it. After the buyer provided receipts and chat records, Fragile agreed to send a free replacement PC, provided the original unit is turned over to police.
Rubedo Life Sciences, a Mountain View biotech, presented early data at the Aging Research and Drug Discovery meeting showing its experimental topical cream reduced skin biological age by about two years on average in an 11-person trial. The cream targets senescent 'zombie' skin cells in patients with atopic dermatitis, and an independent analysis by Mitra Bio found reduced inflammation markers and a 10 percent rise in elasticity-related collagen after four weeks of use.
Leaked records indicate associates of Roman Abramovich, working with trust administrator Meritservus, moved assets into a British Virgin Islands parent company of Amiscan to keep them out of public disclosure requirements.

Cleta Mitchell's Election Integrity Network is telling supporters to call and email nursing homes, care homes and assisted-living facilities ahead of the midterms, alleging without evidence that left-wing groups are manipulating residents' ballots.

NASA has chosen the GIMLI mission to send a rover to the Marius Hills Pit, a lunar hole roughly 150 feet deep and 300 feet wide, to determine whether it opens into a larger underground lava tube. The rover, built with instruments from Honeybee Robotics including ground-penetrating radar, seismic probes and a gravimeter, will study the pit from the surface rather than orbit for the first time. The project is funded through NASA's Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon program.
Interest in wormholes as serious research subjects appears to be waning after decades as a popular science topic, according to recent commentary on the field. Once treated as speculative but plausible solutions within general relativity, wormholes now face renewed scrutiny over whether they offer testable predictions or practical scientific payoff.
Varonis Threat Labs discovered AvisLoader, a new Windows malware loader found on an exposed staging server alongside a ClickFix phishing lure and its control panel. The malware is delivered via a fake DocuSign verification page hosted on Cloudflare Workers that tricks victims into pasting and running a malicious command, which then fetches code from a Cloudflare Quick Tunnel address.
