Warner Bros. Games reportedly cancels expanded content for Hogwarts LegacyUnannounced DLC and definitive edition allegedly scrapped "as part of ongoing restructuring"Image credit: Avalanche Software News by Sophie McEvoy Staff Writer Published on March 28, 2025 Warner Bros. Games has reportedly cancelled an unannounced expansion for Hogwarts Legacy due for release later this year.This is according to Bloomberg, with sources telling the publication that the paid DLC and a definitive edition of the game were scrapped "as part of ongoing restructuring."Sources told Bloomberg that the project was allegedly cancelled as the content was "not substantial enough to justify the price being considered."Warner Bros. declined to comment to Bloomberg about the reported expansion.Insider Gaming reported that the DLC was supposedly planned to have between ten to 15 hours of new quests and activities.In a letter to shareholders following its most recent financial results, Warner Bros. described 2024 as a "disappointing year" for its games segment. Revenue for Warner Bros. Games dropped 29% year-on-year during its fourth quarter.Before its Q4 report, it implemented a restructuring plan resulting in the closure of three studios Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros. San Diego. Monolith's upcoming Wonder Woman project was cancelled as a result.The firm described its restructuring plan as a chance "to refocus [its] resources and capital on proven IP and games from proven, world class studios."It added: "We are focusing our games business around four tentpole franchises that have each generated $1 billion in consumer sales in past years: Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and DC."Warner Bros. Games said the success of Hogwarts Legacy was the main driver for its "refocused strategy.""This gives us the confidence that with our refocused strategy, we can get back to producing high-quality games built for long-term consumer engagement, which we expect to propel our games division back to profit in 2025 and emerge as a more significant contributor to growth in the years ahead," the company concluded.

Mar 28, 2025Ravie LakshmananCryptocurrency / Developer SecurityCybersecurity researchers have discovered several cryptocurrency packages on the npm registry that have been hijacked to siphon sensitive information such as environment variables from compromised systems."Some of these packages have lived on npmjs.com for over 9 years, and provide legitimate functionality to blockchain developers," Sonatype researcher Ax Sharma said. "However, [...] the latest versions of each of these packages were laden with obfuscated scripts."The affected packages and their hijacked versions are listed below -country-currency-map (2.1.8)bnb-javascript-sdk-nobroadcast (2.16.16)@bithighlander/bitcoin-cash-js-lib (5.2.2)eslint-config-travix (6.3.1)@crosswise-finance1/sdk-v2 (0.1.21)@keepkey/device-protocol (7.13.3) @veniceswap/uikit (0.65.34)@veniceswap/eslint-config-pancake (1.6.2)babel-preset-travix (1.2.1)@travix/ui-themes (1.1.5)@coinmasters/types (4.8.16)Analysis of these packages by the software supply chain security firm has revealed that they have been poisoned with heavily obfuscated code in two different scripts: "package/scripts/launch.js" and "package/scripts/diagnostic-report.js."The JavaScript code, which run immediately after the packages are installed, are designed to harvest sensitive data such as API keys, access tokens, SSH keys, and exfiltrate them to a remote server ("eoi2ectd5a5tn1h.m.pipedream[.]net").Interestingly, none of the GitHub repositories associated with the libraries have been modified to include the same changes, raising questions as to how the threat actors behind the campaign managed to push malicious code. It's currently not known what the end goal of the campaign is."We hypothesize the cause of the hijack to be old npm maintainer accounts getting compromised either via credential stuffing (which is where threat actors retry usernames and passwords leaked in previous breaches to compromise accounts on other websites), or an expired domain takeover," Sharma said."Given the concurrent timing of the attacks on multiple projects from distinct maintainers, the first scenario (maintainer accounts takeover) appears to be more likely as opposed to well-orchestrated phishing attacks."The findings underscore the need for securing accounts with two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent takeover attacks. They also highlight the challenges associated with enforcing such security safeguards when open-source projects reach end-of-life or are no longer actively maintained."The case highlights a pressing need for improved supply chain security measures and greater vigilance in monitoring third-party software registries developers," Sharma said. "Organizations must prioritize security at every stage of the development process to mitigate risks associated with third-party dependencies."Found this article interesting?

Mar 28, 2025Ravie LakshmananZero-Day / Browser SecurityMozilla has released updates to address a critical security flaw impacting its Firefox browser for Windows, merely days after Google patched a similar flaw in Chrome that came under active exploitation as a zero-day.The security vulnerability, CVE-2025-2857, has been described as a case of an incorrect handle that could lead to a sandbox escape."Following the recent Chrome sandbox escape (CVE-2025-2783), various Firefox developers identified a similar pattern in our IPC [inter-process communication] code," Mozilla said in an advisory."A compromised child process could cause the parent process to return an unintentionally powerful handle, leading to a sandbox escape."The shortcoming, which affects Firefox and Firefox ESR, has been addressed in Firefox 136.0.4, Firefox ESR 115.21.1, and Firefox ESR 128.8.1. There is no evidence that CVE-2025-2857 has been exploited in the wild.The development comes as Google released Chrome version 134.0.6998.177/.178 for Windows to fix CVE-2025-2783, which has been exploited in the wild as part of attacks targeting media outlets, educational institutions, and government organizations in Russia.Kaspersky, which detected the activity in mid-March 2025, said the infection occurred after unspecified victims clicked on a specially crafted link in phishing emails and the attacker-controlled website was opened using Chrome.CVE-2025-2783 is said to have been chained together with another unknown exploit in the web browser to break out of the confines of the sandbox and achieve remote code execution. That said, patching the bug effectively blocks the entire attack chain.The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has since added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, requiring that federal agencies apply the necessary mitigations by April 17, 2025.Users are recommended to update their browser instances to the latest versions to safeguard against potential risks.Found this article interesting?
