We finally ended up back in each other’s orbits in 2017 working on a few different projects at Ludo Studio, a Brisbane production company that had started producing some 2D shows.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Is Bringing Back Hulk and Scorpion

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-15 16:09:29

Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn’t an Avengers movie, but it’s starting to look like one. We know Tom Holland is returning as the titulal webslinger and that Jon Bernthal is reprising his role as the Punisher. But now, it seems that Mark Ruffalo is also returning as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and even Michael Mando, who played one of the villains in Holland’s first Spidey film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, will return as Scorpion.

YIMBYs have been winning in some of the most productive cities on Earth. Legislative victories in California and the UK have made it easier — if still not easy — to build. The logic of pro-housing reforms is both straightforward and well-supported: Fewer regulatory barriers to building mean more houses, which leads to more affordable housing and, in turn, more people able to live in dense cities that offer all the benefits of urban life. City life makes workers smarter and more productive. Urban

Hackers use hidden Raspberry Pi and custom malware to attack bank ATMs

Editor's take: This is a striking example of how the combination of physical compromise, network manipulation, and technical subterfuge is reshaping the threat landscape for banks and other critical infrastructure providers. The incident also highlights the importance of comprehensive security protocols that address both digital and physical attack vectors.

In search of riches, hackers plant 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi in bank network

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-21 02:21:56

Hackers planted a Raspberry Pi equipped with a 4G modem in the network of an unnamed bank in an attempt to siphon money out of the financial institution's ATM system, researchers reported Wednesday. The researchers with security firm Group-IB said the “unprecedented tactic allowed the attackers to bypass perimeter defenses entirely.” The hackers combined the physical intrusion with remote access malware that used another novel technique to conceal itself, even from sophisticated forensic tools.

The UNC2891 hacking group, also known as LightBasin, used a 4G-equipped Raspberry Pi hidden in a bank's network to bypass security defenses in a newly discovered attack. The single-board computer was physically connected to the ATM network switch, creating an invisible channel into the bank's internal network, allowing the attackers to move laterally and deploy backdoors.

Key takeaways A new X-Lab analysis indicates Starlink can only support 6.66 households per square mile before speeds drop below FCC broadband minimums (100/20 Mbps). Currently, only 17% of Starlink users currently meet FCC broadband speeds, yet altered BEAD program rules could direct significant federal funds to Starlink as the lowest-cost option.

‘Urban Legend’ Has ’90s Nostalgia and Folklore Frights Worth Revisiting

Scream arrived in 1996, revitalizing slasher movies and ushering in a rush of imitators—much like Halloween and Friday the 13th did during the genre’s first wave in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Now we’re in a third wave, with Scream’s successful return and the recent releases of brand-new movies in the late ‘90s-early 2000s I Know What You Did Last Summer and Final Destination series.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the bedrock of modern digital security. Its principle is simple and powerful. As Wikipedia defines it, MFA is: an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more distinct types of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism. The key phrase here is distinct types of evidence. These factors are typically categorized as something you know (a password), someth
