Webinar: Stolen credentials are the new front door to your network

Cybercriminals no longer need zero-day exploits or other vulnerabilities to breach your systems—these days, they just log in. On July 9th at 2:00 PM ET, BleepingComputer and SC Media will co-host a live webinar with identity security expert Darren Siegel of Specops Software (part of Outpost24), exploring how threat actors are increasingly breaching networks by simply logging in with stolen credentials. The webinar "Stolen credentials: The New Front Door to Your Network" will unpack the real-wo

A Game-Changing Telescope Is About to Reveal Its First Images. Here’s How to Watch

A state-of-the-art telescope nearly 25 years in the making will finally reveal its first images on Monday, June 23, and you can watch the event in realtime. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, perched atop a mountain in the Chilean Andes, boasts the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy. The telescope, overseen by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), will use this car-sized, 3.2-gigapixel camera to capture ultra-high-definition images and videos of the

Show HN: A DOS-like hobby OS written in Rust and x86 assembly

# install Rust and its dependencies # make sure you have `xorriso`, `net-tools` and `grub2-tools` installed (Linux) # compile the kernel and stage2 bootloader, link it into an ELF binary and bake into an ISO image with GRUB stage1 bootloader # run the QEMU emulation with ISO image (respectively with additional floppy image attached as well)

xAI is facing a lawsuit for operating over 400 MW of gas turbines without permits

The Colossus data center operated by xAI outside of Memphis is facing a lawsuit for operating a fleet of natural gas turbines without permits. “Over the past year, xAI has installed and operated at least 35 combustion turbines and other sources of air pollution at the Colossus site without ever obtaining the necessary preconstruction or operating air permits,” the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) wrote in a letter to xAI. The legal group submitted the letter on behalf of the NAACP. It

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA. So Homo longi was a Denisovan all along, and thank

Paramount drops trailer for The Naked Gun reboot

Liam Neeson stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. in The Naked Gun. Thirty years after the last film in The Naked Gun crime-spoof comedy franchise, we're finally getting a new installment, The Naked Gun, described as a "legacy sequel." And it's Liam Neeson stepping into Leslie Nielsen's fumbling shoes, playing that character's son. Judging by the official trailer, Neeson is up to the task, showcasing his screwball comedy chops. (Some spoilers for the first three films in the franchise below.) The ori

Peano arithmetic is enough, because Peano arithmetic encodes computation

$\begingroup$ PA is enough, because PA can encode computation. This is longer than I expected, and was made longer still by some browser crashes. But I'd been idly thinking of writing these ideas up. I hadn't for these reasons. It is a lot of work. What I have to say is obvious to logicians, and they would consider the detour into programming to only be a distraction. Computer programmers who can appreciate the programming detour, are mostly not that interested in logic. But this question hi
