‘Scanners’ Is More Than Just a Very Excellent Exploding Head

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-10 19:45:32

When movie fans think of Scanners, the immediate association is its spectacular exploding-head scene. In fact, when anyone thinks of spectacular exploding head scenes… Scanners is always on top of the pile, right next to Dawn of the Dead and Maniac. But while the work of special effects legend Dick Smith deserves much applause (in addition to Scanners, his credits include The Exorcist and Death Becomes Her), there is more to David Cronenberg’s 1981 thriller than one gloriously gory splatter.

Preventing IoT Edge Device Cloning

news.ycombinator.com Wilfred Nilsen 2025-10-11 04:34:58

Preventing IoT Device Cloning IoT device cloning occurs when attackers capture real devices, extract cryptographic keys or identifiers, and use them to build duplicates that appear legitimate to the cloud service. Once deployed, these clones can manipulate data, spy on communications, or act as backdoors for larger attacks.
