If youre in need of some good and satisfying news, Chipotle has got you covered. The beloved burrito brand is bringing back its free burrito promotion for April 3rds National Burrito Day.According to the chains March 31 announcement, Chipotle Rewards members will once again be able to play the popular Burrito Vault game at UnlockBurritoDay.com.The game, which involves customers trying to guess exact burrito order combinations, is easy to play but comes with delicious prizes. Players will get four attempts to win BOGO (buy-one-get-one) codes. Each hour, the first 2,500 members to choose burrito orders with the correct ingredients will win free food.Last year, our Burrito Vault drove unprecedented fan engagement that resulted in our highest digital transaction day of all time, Chris Brandt, chief brand officer, said in the announcement. Now, we are giving them another chance to crack the code and score more free burritos.In addition to the BOGO deals, Chipotle is also giving Rewards Members $0 delivery fee offer for orders placed on National Burrito Day. Customers just have to use the code DELIVER on Chipotles app or website.The reprised promotion comes shortly after rumors about Chipotle restaurants being shuttered have swirled online. Chipotle dispelled bankruptcy rumors in a statement to Good Morning America. The claim that Chipotle is closing restaurants is false, a spokesperson for Chipotle told the outlet. The false information stemmed from an inaccurate online article confusing Chipotle with a venture it tested in 2023. The story has since been corrected.Despite rumors about the brands demise, it seems the reverse is actually true. In February, Fast Company reported that Chipotle was breaking records in terms of its growth. In 2024, the brand opened 304 new restaurantsthe most in a single year for the chain.

Global venture capital deals declined in Q1 2025 compared to the same quarter a year ago, according to a report by the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and Pitchbook.In North America, there were 3,155 deals in Q1 2025, compared to 4,282 deals in Q1 2024. In Europe, there were 1,852 deals in Q1 2025, compared to 2,917 deals a year earlier; in Asia, the deal count was 2,063 in Q1 2025, compared to 3,111 a year earlier; in Latin America, the deal count was 156, compared to 225 a year earlier. And in the rest of the world, there were 325 deals in Q1 2025, compared to 561 deals a year earlier. In Q1 2025, M&A exits for VC-backed companies also declined, with deal value amounting to $78.2 billion across 636 deals, compared to an average of $80 billion across 726 per quarter across all of the quarters of 2024.Asia resultsMelanie Tng, Asia Pacific private capital analyst, said in the report that VC deal activity in APAC remained subdued in Q1 2025, continuing a multi-year trend of caution amid macroeconomic uncertainty.The number of deals declined, but total capital invested rose sharply, driven by larger rounds in the B2B space. Binance raised $2 billion, which was the largest deal in Asia, Tng said. VC-backed exit activity continued to lag in Asia, falling to just 95 exits in Q1 2025, the lowest since Q2 2019, Tng said. Historically, markets in the region have struggled with consistent exit channels, especially as many remain relatively in developing robust financial ecosystems. The exit drought has also impacted fundraising, which remained muted as LPs await clearer signs of liquidity.Tng said information technology remained the top sector by deal count, underpinned by ongoing momentum in AI and digital infrastructure. This trend was also supported by government-led strategic initiatives, especially as geopolitical tensions continue to spur the push toward tech sovereignty in developed Asia. South Korea, for instance, launched a KRW 34 trillion fund in February to back cutting-edge industries such as semiconductors, batteries, and biotech. In March, China also announced a state-guided VC fund to support advanced manufacturing and strategic technologies.U.S. resultsKyle Stanford, director of U.S. venture research at Pitchbook, said the U.S. market has become very bifurcated between a handful of companies able to raise an endless amount of money, and the rest of the market that continues to struggle through a capital shortage.About 71% of total deal value in the US went to AI investments. That amount is highly biased with OpenAIs $40 billion round. Though excluding that deal, AI still captured 48.5% of the total invested during the quarter on 1/3rd of completed deals.Exit activity showed signs of excitement in Q1 with the high-profile IPO of CoreWeave, the announcement of a $32 billion acquisition of Wiz (yet to be completed), and several other well-known brand IPO filings, Stanford said. However, outside of those few transactions, the liquidity market remained subdued. Just 12 companies completed public listings, and liquidity worries abound within the market.Lack of distributions continues to pressure the fundraising market. Just $10 billion in new commitments were closed in Q1, setting the year on pace for the lowest fundraising environment since 2016.Europe resultsNavina Rajan, Europe/Middle East/North Africa senior private capital analyst said that European VC deal value in Q1 paced below last year, as the first quarter of 2025 showcased signs of a more cautious environment and uncertainty felt by wider macroeconomics. By vertical, AI moved into the top-ranked vertical by deal value as life sciences and fintech also showed resilience. It is likely that activity and rankings will evolve as we move through the year.Exit value also saw a soft start to the year. Despite recent market volatility, we are still expecting IPO activity to pick up in Europe as valuations and volatility remain within favorable thresholds for an IPO window.Capital raised by Europe-based VC funds had a soft start to the year where most closes sat in smaller brackets. The largest closed vehicles so far this year have been outside of the UK. Emerging managers also gained a share of the fund count with a few first-time funds, Rajan said.Latin America resultsAnd Stanford said that VC investment in Latin America reached $1.4 billion in Q1, the strongest quarter for deal value since Q3 2022. Several large deals drove value, including a $376 million investment into the digital banking app Ual. Deal counts slid roughly 20% quarter-over-quarter, coming in at the lowest since 2020.Just two VC funds were closed with new commitments in Latin America during Q1. Just 22 funds have closed since the beginning of 2024, with less than $600 million in total commitments. This will have impacts on near-term dealmaking without foreign investment increases. The lack of exits continues to weigh on the Latin American VC market.Daily insights on business use cases with VB DailyIf you want to impress your boss, VB Daily has you covered.

AndaSeat isn't as big of a name in the congested gaming chair market as some other brands like Secretlab, DXRacer, or Razer, but rest assured it makes some high-quality gaming chairs. Right now, there's an AndaSeat April Sale going on with up to $220 off gaming chairs. These instant discounts stack with our 10% off IGN code "AndaIGN".Andaseat Kaiser 3 Gaming ChairUse 10% off code: AndaIGNAndaSeat Kaiser 3 Gaming ChairThe Kaiser 3 offers great value for a high-end gaming chair that competes with other chairs that cost $500 or more. The base model currently costs $386.10, which is about $60 cheaper than the Kaiser 4, and shares most of the same features. You lose out on the 5D armrests and the lumbar is less adjustable, but that's about it.In his Andaseat Kaiser 3 review, Mark Knapp wrote that "The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 makes some meaningful improvements to the series design, including a wide seatbase that does away with metal bolsters for hours-long comfort and a flexible lumbar support built in. It uses magnets here and there in a gimmicky but not useless way, and it offers all the premiums that one should expect at this price in a well-polished package. Its not quite perfect, still suffering some from the aggressive racing-style design, but it proves a great chair nonetheless."Andaseat Novis Gaming Chair for $179.10Use 10% off code: AndaIGNAndaSeat Novis Gaming ChairFor 2025, AndaSeat has just released a new line of gaming chair that's sure to be a hit with the budget-minded audience. The Andaseat Novis gaming chair which retails for just $199 is now shipping. Even better, you can use our 10% off IGN code "AndaIGN" to drop the price further to $179.10. The Novis looks like it has most of the comfort, features, and styling of other high-end gaming chair minus some of the more common gimmicks (like "4D" armrests).Andaseat Kaiser 4 Gaming ChairUse 10% off code: AndaIGNAndaSeat Kaiser 4 Gaming ChairThe Kaiser 4 is AndaSeat's flagship chair. The price normally starts from $569 but this sale drops it to $476.10 after the IGN code. It's only available in Extra Large with a weight capabity of 395lbs so this is a very spacious chair. You can choose among eight different color options in PVC leather or two different color options in fabric. It has all of the creature comforts you'd expect in a quality gaming chair, like a unibody 2mm tubular steel frame, one-piece high density foam with a plush seat bottom (softer, in my experience, than the very firm Secretlab seat), four-way lumbar adjustment system, 5D armrests, up to 135 degrees of recline and a rocking toggle, included magnetic armrests, and more. This chair sounds a lot like the Titan Evo, and you'd be right; the design, features, and build quality are very similar, minus the price tag.Overall, Mark Knapp didn't like it as much as the Kaiser 3, however. In his Andaseat Kaiser 4 review, he wrote that "The AndaSeat Kaiser 4 has great lumbar support and one of the best headrest pillows you'll find on the market, but its janky armrests are a major blemish on the overall design, and its firm seat won't be for everyone. If you have the AndaSeat Kaiser 3, everything but the lumbar support may feel like more of a downgrade than an upgrade and if this is your first gaming chair, you can do much better within the premium market."Andaseat X-Air Mesh ChairsUse 10% off code: AndaIGNAndaSeat X-Air Mesh ChairAndaSeat X-Air Pro Mesh ChairIf you don't care for the distinct styling of gaming chairs, Andaseat also recently released a traditional-style task chair model called the X-Air. It's also less expensive, with the standard model starting at only $341.10 after the coupon is applied. This chair features a softer suede-like material that feels more comfortable than traditional mesh chairs. It comes standard with plenty of adjustability, but you can upgrade to the Pro model to get the dynamic lumbar adjustment, 5D armrests, and a 3D headrest. The Pro model also comes in a couple of very unique colors.Another Alternative: SecretlabBoth the Andaseat Kaiser 4 and 3 are excellent gaming chairs that are on par with the quality you'll find from more expensive chair manufacturers. That said, if you're willing to spend substantially more, Secretlab is still our favorite gaming chair brand. Secretlab recently released its flagship Titan Evo chair in a "Nanogen" edition and it is, in our opinion, the new best gaming chair. In our Titan Evo Nanogen Edition review, Chris Coke wrote that "the Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition deserves every bit of the overwhelming praise Ive given. Granted, at $799 its significantly more expensive than the original and not far off from an entry-level Herman-Miller. But the return it offers in comfortable, supportive gaming is well worth the extra cost thanks to dramatically improved materials in both the fabric and multi-layered padding. The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is class-leading, and is hands-down the most comfortable gaming chair Ive ever used."Secretlab also released a new recliner add-on to anyone who already owns the Titan Evo chair, and it has turned out to be a very practical addition that's worthy of its lofty $200 price point. In our recliner add-on review, Chris Coke wrote that "while both comfort and value are subjective things, the recliner is able to take the Titan Evo and transform it from one of the best racing style gaming chairs to standing head and shoulders above the competition at its price point. Its novel enough that I wouldnt be surprised to see other brands following suit in the near future. If you dont mind paying for it, its an absolutely killer upgrade for your gaming chair."Why Should You Trust IGN's Deals Team?IGN's deals team has a combined 30+ years of experience finding the best discounts in gaming, tech, and just about every other category.

Apr 03, 2025Ravie LakshmananCybersecurity / Threat IntelligenceThreat hunters are warning of a sophisticated web skimmer campaign that leverages a legacy application programming interface (API) from payment processor Stripe to validate stolen payment information prior to exfiltration."This tactic ensures that only valid card data is sent to the attackers, making the operation more efficient and potentially harder to detect," Jscrambler researchers Pedro Fortuna, David Alves, and Pedro Marrucho said in a report.As many as 49 merchants are estimated to have been affected by the campaign to date. Fifteen of the compromised sites have taken action to remove the malicious script injections. The activity is assessed to be ongoing since at least August 20, 2024.Details of the campaign were first flagged by security firm Source Defense towards the end of February 2025, detailing the web skimmer's use of the "api.stripe[.]com/v1/sources" API, which allows applications to accept various payment methods. The endpoint has since been deprecated in favor of the new PaymentMethods API.The attack chains employ malicious domains as the initial distribution point for the JavaScript skimmer that's designed to intercept and hide the legitimate payment form on order checkout pages, serve a replica of the legitimate Stripe payment screen, validate it using the sources API, and then transmit it to a remote server in Base64-encoded format.Jscrambler said the threat actors behind the operation are likely leveraging vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in WooCommerce, WordPress, and PrestaShop to implant the initial stage script. This loader script serves to decipher and launch a Base64-encoded next-stage, which, in turn, contains the URL pointing to the skimmer."The skimming script hides the legitimate Stripe iframe and overlays it with a malicious one designed to mimic its appearance," the researchers said. "It also clones the 'Place Order' button, hiding the real one."Once the details are exfiltrated, users are displayed an error message, asking them to reload the pages. There is some evidence to suggest that the final skimmer payload is generated using some sort of tool owing to the fact that the script appears to be tailored to each targeted site.The security company further noted that it uncovered skimmer scripts impersonating a Square payment form, suggesting that the threat actors are likely targeting several payment service providers. And that's not all. The skimming code has also been observed adding other payment options using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether (Ethereum), Tether, and Litecoin."This sophisticated web skimming campaign highlights the evolving tactics attackers use to remain undetected," the researchers said. "And as a bonus, they effectively filter out invalid credit card data, ensuring that only valid credentials are stolen."Found this article interesting?
