Scammers Are Now Driving Around With Fake Cell Towers That Blast 100,000 Texts Per Hour

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 10:00:38

Leave it to phone scammers to innovate new ways to be as annoying — and scummy — as humanly possible. These cybercriminals are no longer content with just sending you the odd phishing text or two. As Wired reports, more and more of them are using so-called "SMS blasters" that basically act as a portable cell tower, tricking your phones into connecting with them as they cruise by. The scammers walk or drive around with the devices, firing out a ludicrous volume of SMS messages that contain dange

LLM-Deflate: Extracting LLMs into Datasets

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-20 06:59:54

Large Language Models compress massive amounts of training data into their parameters. This compression is lossy but highly effective—billions of parameters can encode the essential patterns from terabytes of text. However, what’s less obvious is that this process can be reversed: we can systematically extract structured datasets from trained models that reflect their internal knowledge representation. I’ve been working on this problem, and the results are promising. We’ve successfully applied

Microsoft raises Xbox console prices for the second time this year

Less than a month ago, we looked at how current game console prices were historically high due to price increases from all three major console makers. Today, that analysis is already a bit out of date, as Microsoft has announced its second set of Xbox price increases this year in the US. The new Xbox price hikes, which will go into effect on October 3, or roughly five months after the last set of Xbox price hikes, are as follows: Xbox Series S 512GB: $400 (up from $380 in May / launched at $30

Starting on October 3, Microsoft says Xbox consoles will be getting yet another price bump, this time ranging anywhere from a $20 increase on the company's entry-level model to $70 for a special edition model with 2TB of storage. If all of this sounds familiar, there's a good reason, the last time xbox prices were raised was only a few months ago in May.

One of the groups is Turla, which is easily one of the world’s most sophisticated advanced persistent threats (well-organized and well-funded hacking groups, many backed by nation states, that target specific adversaries for years at a time).

The EU Just Killed ARR

The EU Just Killed ARR Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has been the backbone of SaaS for two decades. It gave investors predictable growth curves. It gave founders leverage in fundraising. It let boards sleep at night. But ARR was never a really well defined metric. And now, it may be practically dead in Europe.
