The first international game of the National Football League season, a Friday-night tilt between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, is celebrated on the ground by the usual pomp and circumstance. There are photo booths and merch tents catering to local fans, samba dancers in feathered head-pieces entertaining American die-hards traveling across the equator, and a press conference where Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has to backtrack after calling association footb

Token Exfiltration Campaign via GitHub Actions Workflows Summary I recently responded to an attack campaign where malicious actors injected code into GitHub Actions workflows attempting to steal PyPI publishing tokens. PyPI was not compromised, and no PyPI packages were published by the attackers.

‘Shelby Oaks’ Puts a Satisfying, Scary Spin on the Found Footage Genre

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-14 19:15:16

One of the best things about the found footage genre can also be one of its most frustrating. By its very nature, classic found footage movies can never answer all your questions because the camera has to stop. The footage almost always ends with some big, scary revelation, but things can’t go beyond that because….well, the footage had to be found. On one hand, that can make for terrifying moments, and imagination will often be scarier than reality. On the other hand, it would be nice to learn e

Focused on making deals with the entertainment industry for second-rate content, and overly cautious on what users could upload, it flopped.
