LIFEHACKER.COMCES 2025: Sony Just Revealed When 'The Last of Us' Season Two Is DroppingSony may have won CES as far as Im concernedand the expo hasnt even officially started.The company made a number of announcements during its big CES media event, including pricing and availability information for its highly anticipated AFEELA car (a joint partnership with Honda). But it was the last announcement of the night that particularly caught my attention and excitement.Sony surprised us all by welcoming Neil Druckmann, studio head of Naughty Dog, to the stage. Druckmann mentioned the studios upcoming space adventure game, The Intergalactic, but then revealed the company had one small announcement to make. Credit: Jake Peterson The Last of Us season two drops in April As you might expect after a CES introduction from Neil Druckmann, Sony presented a new teaser for The Last of Us season two. Of course, there's fresh footage we didn't see in the season's first trailer, as well as intriguing snippets of performances from Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Kaitlyn Dever, and Gabriel Luna. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone who hasn't played The Last of Us Part II, but if you're a fan of season one, you're in for a ride. All that said, the teaser closed with the most important announcement of all CES: Season two kicks off in April. Sony hasnt given an exact date for this April release, but its more information than weve had before, and Im here for it. Ill be watching this teaser on repeat until the show aires.Sony is turning more of its games into shows and moviesIn addition to The Last of Us second season, Sony also announced a Ghost of Tsushima anime, a movie adaptation of Helldivers 2, as well as a Horizon Zero Dawn feature film, however the latter is only in the early stages of development.Sony is clearly all in on adapting its IP, and I don't blame them. The company touted the box office success of its Uncharted movie, and noted that it was proud of other adaptations like Grand Turismo, Twisted Metal, and, of course, The Last of Us. The company also reminded the audience of its upcoming film adaptation of Until Dawn, showing off a spot filmed with actor Peter Stormare to promote it.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 101 Views

LIFEHACKER.COMCES 2025: Eufy's New 'Three-in-One' Robot Vacuum Left Me Scratching My HeadToday at CES, Eufy announced a new robot vacuum with a twist: it is also a stick and a hand vacuum. Its not only the first three-in-one robot, it is also the winner of a CES Best of Innovation award. Having said that, Ive had my hands on E20 the last week or so, and I have found it to be a bit confounding and underwhelming. Credit: Amanda Blum Eufy has made some of my favorite security cameras in the last few yearshowever, when it comes to vacuums, Im often left unimpressed. Much was made of the Omni S1 last year when I tested it, and while the design was interesting and it performed well enough, I felt it was overpriced. The most complimentary Ive ever been to Eufy was towards the X10 Pro Omni, which I said was pretty good for the price point.I was excited about the E20 from the jump. It came in a delightfully small, light box, which may not seem exciting but most robot vacuums arrive in hulking, heavy boxes. Once I unpacked the box, I kept digging back through looking for the missing lid to the robot. I soon realized there wasnt one. The robot has an exposed face, showing the handled, removable part of the stick vacuum. To me, it looks unfinished. When you remove the handle from the robot, it is unbalanced enough that the robot struggles to remain docked.I also found it odd that there is no place to dock the stick and attachments when not in use, which feels like a real missed opportunity (Eufy tells me a wall dock will become available for $10 when this model goes on sale). Credit: Amanda Blum Once I got it up and running, the E20 did a good job of mapping the space. However, it struggled to navigate it. Something about the weight of the handle makes the robot awkwardly balanced, and so it got stuck a number of times.As a stick vacuum, the E20 worked fine. It is a little short and since Ive spent a lot of the last year testing stick vacuums with computer displays from Dyson, Samsung, and Narwal, it was almost quaint to have such a simplistic stick in my hand. A drawback I noticed immediately was the E20's tiny capacity. The tower is tiny, too. I had to return to the dock multiple times vacuuming the main floor of my very small house, and each time you have to take the vacuum apart, dock the head of it, wait for it to empty and then reattach it.The handheld is simply the handle and any attachment without the stick. It performs about the same. There is a multitool, which is my favorite attachment, but Id rather have a handheld nearby that I could quickly grab and put back than to deal with the E20.More curious, at a time when every robot vacuum practically bursts with pride boasting about astronomical suction power (we saw it as high as 22,000Pa this week), the E20 only has 8,000Pa. Whats odd is that the stick vacuum has 30,000Pa. That would lead you to believe the robot and the stick dont share a motor, but Eufy assures me they do; the robot, which has the same 30,000Pa capacity, is just limited to 8,000Pa to preserve power. What the E20 has going for it is price. Its only $549 and will be available for presale starting Jan. 6, for $50 off retail. Still, since it is merely a vacuum and not a robot vacuum/mop combo, I think there are better options at this price point, like the Switchbot K10+.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 92 Views

LIFEHACKER.COMCES 2025: This Beach Umbrella Can Charge Your PhoneWe may earn a commission from links on this page.If what you enjoy most about the beach is sitting in the shade, sipping a cold beverage, and scrolling on your phone, have I got exciting news for you: Today at CES, Anker Solix announced the immanent release of a new Solar Beach Umbrella, as well as an electric cooler, the EverFrost 2. When used together, these devices can quite literally work to keep you cool this summer.Outdoor umbrellas with solar panels arent entirely new, and the options currently on the market typically have a small solar-capturing panel that can power lights built into the frame. However, Anker is approaching solar integration in its outdoor furniture differently. The panels span the entire crown of the umbrella, offering 100W of maximum solar input, which is the same as a standard solar panel. They seem wildly efficient at producing energy, tooAnker promises 200% solar generation in low light (20,000lux), and 130% in bright light intensity (50,000lux). This means the umbrella will create a generous amount of solar driven energy even when it is overcast. Credit: Anker Solix What will you do with all that energy? Probably recharge your phone, or perhaps a speaker. But Anker thinks you might also want to plug in any of the many power stations it sells, to get even more juice for your devices. Maybe you'll plug it directly into the EverFrost 2, to keep food and drinks frosty? (Though fully charged, the cooler will last 52 hours using only the onboard battery, so youd only need the umbrella to power if you're planning to spend a long time at the beach.) The umbrella has XT-60 and USB-C ports, and the battery on the cooler also acts as a power bank, offering 60W USB-C and 12W USB-A charging.The umbrella is 84 inches tall and 74 inches in diameter, enough to keep a few people shaded during the day. The solar panels are waterproof (rated IP67) and use sunshade fabric to reduce heat under the umbrella. Anker hasn't indicated what the cooler or umbrella weigh, an important omission given hauling these things to the beach might be a lot of work, what with all that battery power onboard.It's more likely you'll keep the umbrella on your patio, where it will become an additional source of power in your yard. Anker Solix is solidly a battery company. They make terrific backup batteries, from tiny portables to whole home backups. They have a whole line of solar generators, and the solar panels to go with them. While solar power was for years relegated to powering outdoor goods that you didnt have electricity for, and was generally unreliable, these days I actively choose solar over batteries because the technology has improved phenomenally. The solar panels on my outdoor security cameras perform astoundingly, even through weeks of overcast weather. While umbrella and cooler companies have previously tred to bring solar into their products, the results haven't always been reliable, and the part they struggled withthe solar panelsis precisely the tech that Anker Solix is known for.But more importantly, I think this speaks to where solar is headed. Consider what smart plugs can tell us: For years inside the home, we have been able to install smart plugs to turn common items into smart devices. Eventually, that connectivity made its way to the devices themselves. By bringing solar panels to devices themselves, Anker Solix is reducing the need for its own power stations. Imagine a future where you don't need to lug around a giant power bank, but only the devices you want to use, all of which will all have onboard solar power. It will be interesting to see how Anker leverages solar moving forward to build out other experiences. Why not patio furniture that heats in winter or cools in summer?The Anker Solix Beach Umbrella will be available this summe, with pricing to be announced. The Everfrost 2 will be available Feb. 21 in three sizes, starting at $699.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 94 Views

THEHACKERNEWS.COMWordPress Skimmers Evade Detection by Injecting Themselves into Database TablesJan 13, 2025Ravie Lakshmanan Payment Security / Web SecurityCybersecurity researchers are warning of a new stealthy credit card skimmer campaign that targets WordPress e-commerce checkout pages by inserting malicious JavaScript code into a database table associated with the content management system (CMS)."This credit card skimmer malware targeting WordPress websites silently injects malicious JavaScript into database entries to steal sensitive payment details," Sucuri researcher Puja Srivastava said in a new analysis."The malware activates specifically on checkout pages, either by hijacking existing payment fields or injecting a fake credit card form."The GoDaddy-owned website security company said it discovered the malware embedded into the WordPress wp_options table with the option "widget_block," thus allowing it to avoid detection by scanning tools and persist on compromised sites without attracting attention.In doing so, the idea is to insert the malicious JavaScript into an HTML block widget through the WordPress admin panel (wp-admin > widgets).The JavaScript code works by checking if the current page is a checkout page and ensures that it springs into action only after the site visitor is about to enter their payment details, at which point the it dynamically creates a bogus payment screen that mimics legitimate payment processors like Stripe.The form is designed to capture users' credit card numbers, expiration dates, CVV numbers, and billing information. Alternately, the rogue script is also capable of capturing data entered on legitimate payment screens in real-time to maximize compatibility.The stolen data is subsequently Base64-encoded and combined with AES-CBC encryption to make it appear harmless and resist analysis attempts. In the final stage, it's transmitted to an attacker-controlled server ("valhafather[.]xyz" or "fqbe23[.]xyz").The development comes more than a month after Sucuri highlighted a similar campaign that leveraged JavaScript malware to dynamically create fake credit card forms or extract data entered in payment fields on checkout pages.The harvested information is then subjected to three layers of obfuscation by encoding it first as JSON, XOR-encrypting it with the key "script," and finally using Base64-encoding, prior to exfiltration to a remote server ("staticfonts[.]com")."The script is designed to extract sensitive credit card information from specific fields on the checkout page," Srivastava noted. "Then the malware collects additional user data through Magento's APIs, including the user's name, address, email, phone number, and other billing information. This data is retrieved via Magento's customer-data and quote models."The disclosure also follows the discovery of a financially-motivated phishing email campaign that tricks recipients into clicking on PayPal login pages under the guise of an outstanding payment request to the tune of nearly $2,200."The scammer appears to have simply registered an Microsoft 365 test domain, which is free for three months, and then created a distribution list (Billingdepartments1[@]gkjyryfjy876.onmicrosoft.com) containing victim emails," Fortinet FortiGuard Labs' Carl Windsor said. "On the PayPal web portal, they simply request the money and add the distribution list as the address."What makes the campaign sneaky is the fact that the messages originate from a legitimate PayPal address (service@paypal.com) and contain a genuine sign in URL, which allows the emails to slip past security tools.To make matters worse, as soon as the victim attempts to login to their PayPal account about the payment request, their account is automatically linked to the email address of the distribution list, permitting the threat actor to hijack control of the account.In recent weeks, malicious actors have also been observed leveraging a novel technique called transaction simulation spoofing to steal cryptocurrency from victim wallets."Modern Web3 wallets incorporate transaction simulation as a user-friendly feature," Scam Sniffer said. "This capability allows users to preview the expected outcome of their transactions before signing them. While designed to enhance transparency and user experience, attackers have found ways to exploit this mechanism."The infection chains involve taking advantage of the time gap between transaction simulation and execution, permitting attackers to set up fake sites mimicking decentralized apps (DApps) in order to carry out fraudulent wallet draining attacks."This new attack vector represents a significant evolution in phishing techniques," the Web3 anti-scam solution provider said. "Rather than relying on simple deception, attackers are now exploiting trusted wallet features that users rely on for security. This sophisticated approach makes detection particularly challenging."Found this article interesting?
