It’s been a no-good, very bad week for President Donald Trump, all thanks to the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein, a man, in Trump’s words, “who never dies.” Since attorney general Pam Bondi released a memo declaring there was “no incriminating ‘client list’” from the Epstein case files, the fallout has left Republicans apoplectic.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however.

Phishers have found a way to downgrade—not bypass—FIDO MFA
