Cybercriminals Have a Weird New Way to Target You With Scam Texts

wired.com Matt Burgess 2025-09-18 21:00:00

Cybercriminals have a new way of sending millions of scam text messages to people. Typically when fraudsters send waves of phishing messages to phones—such as toll or delivery scams—they may use a huge list of phone numbers and automate the sending of messages. But as phone companies and telecom services have rolled out more tools to detect scams in texts, criminals have started driving around cities with fake cell phone towers that send messages directly to nearby phones.

All you PlayStation 5 players can now pair your wireless DualSense controllers with up to four devices at a time and toggle among them. For some time, you've been able to pair your DualSense controllers not just with PS5s and other PlayStation consoles, but also with PCs, Macs, smartphones and other Bluetooth devices.

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

news.ycombinator.com Ivan Velichko 2025-09-19 00:37:52

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A
