Whatever You Do, Don't Become Obsessed With This Conspiracy Thriller on Netflix

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-12 22:05:38

Sometimes, the best TV shows come from unexpected places. Obviously, there were the big ones like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. When Vince Gilligan's drug drama ended in 2013, with HBO's landmark fantasy hit in full swing, I wondered what series would be next to capture our collective attention. It took me a few years to find my next TV obsession, which aired on an unassuming basic cable channel. The show I'm referring to was about the internet, of all things. It was created by a guy with

A surveillance vendor was caught exploiting a new SS7 attack to track people’s phone locations

techcrunch.com Zack Whittaker 2026-01-12 23:45:07

Security researchers say they have caught a surveillance company in the Middle East exploiting a new attack capable of tricking phone operators into disclosing a cell subscriber’s location.

SS7 also allows the carriers to req

Was This the Geekiest Concert of All Time?

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-13 04:45:50

When the hamburger-shaped spaceship with the word “Millennium” on the back lowered down above me, I figured I was in for something special. What I didn’t expect was that, for the next two hours, the “Millennium…” let’s call it “Falcon,” would fly through an asteroid field before docking on a planet with light cycles and noir landscapes, as lines of code dropped down like rain and huge cylindrical gates of stars swirled around. But that’s what happened, and, I must say, it was phenomenal. Last w

How China’s Patriotic ‘Honkers’ Became the Nation’s Elite Cyberspies

TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

news.ycombinator.com Matthieu Baerts 2026-01-11 03:59:08

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect

‘Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic’ Is a Colorful Portrait of a Cult Horror Legend

Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic offers an excellent introduction to the Indonesian movie legend, but it’s a fun watch even if you’re already familiar with her work. Just about the only prerequisite for enjoyment is being a horror fan, because David Gregory’s documentary is packed with clips from Suzzanna’s gloriously over-the-top filmography, especially her much-loved early-’80s entries. “The Queen of Indonesian Horror,” as she came to be known, was born during World War II; she knew from an
