A Misconfiguration That Haunts Corporate Streaming Platforms Could Expose Sensitive Data

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2025-12-11 15:00:00

Top streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ have made sustained investments over the years to lock their content down. Whenever they can, they prevent users from accessing videos without a subscription or watching region-blocked content. New findings presented today at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas, though, indicate that streaming platforms used for things like internal corporate broadcasts and sports livestreams can contain basic design flaws that allow anyone to access a vast

OpenAI priced GPT-5 so low, it may spark a price war

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-12-11 20:10:04

OpenAI astounded the tech industry for the second time this week by launching its newest flagship model, GPT-5, just days after releasing two new freely available models under an open source license. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went so far as to call GPT-5 “the best model in the world.” That may be pride or hyperbole, as TechCrunch’s Maxwell Zeff reports that GPT-5 only slightly outperforms other leading AI models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI on some key benchmarks, and slightly lags on o

Flipper Zero dark web firmware bypasses rolling code security

news.ycombinator.com Written By 2025-12-11 03:10:42

Over on YouTube Talking Sasquach has recently tested custom firmware for the Flipper Zero that can entirely break the rolling code security system used on most modern vehicles. Rolling code security works by using a synchronized algorithm between a transmitter and receiver to generate a new, unique code for each transmission, preventing replay attacks and unauthorized access. In the past we've discussed an attack against rolling code security systems called RollJam, which works by jamming the o
