Paramount’s ‘Star Trek’ Focus Is Back at the Movies—Including ‘Star Trek 4’ (Again)

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-27 06:18:43

There’s been no shortage of Star Trek for fans in recent years—provided, of course, they subscribe to Paramount+. But as the sci-fi stalwart’s number of streaming series has dwindled to just Strange New Worlds (which has an endpoint set after its fifth season) and the upcoming Starfleet Academy, the studio behind the franchise is seemingly ramping up hopes for a big-screen return. If that sounds like a promise you’ve heard before, you’re not wrong. The most recent reboot or Kelvin Timeline (or

New downgrade attack can bypass FIDO auth in Microsoft Entra ID

Security researchers have created a new FIDO downgrade attack against Microsoft Entra ID that tricks users into authenticating with weaker login methods, making them susceptible to phishing and session hijacking. These weaker login channels are vulnerable to adversary-in-the-middle phishing attacks that employ tools like Evilginx, enabling attackers to snatch valid session cookies and hijack the accounts.

DOGE Has Wasted Billions While Saving Only a Fraction of What It Claims: Reports

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-27 11:15:21

The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has been a project largely defined by ever-diminishing expectations. At the outset of DOGE’s journey, its chief operator, Elon Musk, famously claimed, in a bout of wild optimism, that he hoped to cut “at least” $2 trillion out of the federal budget. Not long after the election, Musk reduced his ambitions to $1 trillion. Throughout the first few months of Trump’s second term, DOGE claimed to be saving Americans billions, but analyses
