PlayStation Network has been down for almost 6 hours now (and counting).
User reports confirm problems with login, server connections, online multiplayer, the PlayStation Store, and launching many digital games.
Official PlayStation status: “All services are experiencing issues.”
Physical disc games generally still work offline.
Just heard that John C Dvorak passed away on Monday.
I fondly remember reading his column in PC Magazine back in the late 80s.
May his memory be a blessing.
‼️🚨 BREAKING: A new npm supply-chain attack uses a dead-man's switch. The payload plants a watcher on your machine that nukes your home directory the second you revoke the GitHub token it stole from you.
The compromise happened today, across 42 official tanstack npm packages, 84 malicious versions in total. tanstack/react-router alone pulls more than 12 million weekly downloads.
The attacker forked TanStack's repository and pushed a single hidden commit. From there, they tricked TanStack's own release system into signing the malicious packages as if they were the real thing. To npm, and to anyone checking the cryptographic proof of origin (SLSA provenance), the poisoned versions looked 100% legitimate.
Maintainer Tanner Linsley confirmed the whole team had 2FA enabled. It didn't matter. This is the first documented npm worm in history that ships with a valid, signed certificate of authenticity, the same one defenders rely on to know a package wasn't tampered with.
Rep. Ilhan Omar: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked… during World War ELEVEN.”
She must have gotten her education in the Quality Learing Center.
Bill Maher: “NEW RULE: Germans have to figure out a new way to say ‘We’re hiring.’ Yeah, I don’t exactly speak German, but sorry, but ‘Wir Suchen Dich’ doesn’t sound like you’re ready to hire anyone.”
Actors are so cooked.
This is the most amazing AI I’ve seen yet and it’s even getting the emotions fairly accurate.
Great work from Taylor Chien. I might even go watch this movie.
