A free game on Steam called Beyond The Dark contained hidden malicious software.
The game originally started as a simple title named Rodent Race. Someone hijacked the developer’s account and quickly changed the name, images, and other details. This tricked Steam, which does not verify updates.
The malware was hidden in a file called UnityPlayer.dll. The game often crashes when run, but the malware keeps operating in the background.
It searches for crypto wallet extensions in Chrome, such as MetaMask, connects to a malicious server, and downloads tools to steal passwords, browser data, and cryptocurrency. Some reports say it may also steal Roblox information.
YouTuber Eric Parker discovered the malware and made a video about it. Steam then removed the game completely.
If you downloaded or played it:
>Delete the game immediately.
>Run a full virus scan with updated antivirus software.
>Change all important passwords, especially for email, browsers, and crypto accounts.
>Check your crypto wallets for missing funds and transfer any remaining balance to a new secure wallet on another device.
This is a common tactic on Steam now

A Brazilian YouTuber killed the Photoshop subscription.
It's called PhotoGIMP. It takes GIMP, the free image editor, and makes it look and feel exactly like Photoshop.
Same toolbar. Same panel layout. Same keyboard shortcuts. Your hands already know how to use it.
Photoshop vs PhotoGIMP:
- Price: $275.88 a year → $0
- Account: Adobe login required → No login, ever
- Files: Saved to Adobe cloud → Saved on your computer
- Updates: Forced when Adobe says → Only when you want
- Works on: Windows and Mac → Windows, Mac, and Linux
No Adobe account. No cloud upload. No AI trained on your photos.
How small is the patch? Tiny.
→ Nine settings files. That's it.
→ Copy them into one folder. Done.
→ Open GIMP. It now looks like Photoshop.
→ Don't like it? Delete the folder. GIMP goes back to normal.
Three steps to install. One command to uninstall.
8,751 stars. 272 forks. 30+ people from around the world helping translate it.
One honest note: the license is GPL-3.0. Free for everything. Personal work, paid client work, your own edits. No "Pro" tier hiding behind it.
Dionatan Simioni runs the biggest Linux YouTube channel in Brazil. He built this from Marau, a small town in Rio Grande do Sul. No VC. No team. No fundraise.
This is what Photoshop should have been from the start.

GTA 6 is delaying PC, because...
Look at the GTA Online revenues below. The gap between console and PC earnings is INSANE.
PC players can easily bypass the Shark Card economy. They can use mods or play in unofficial roleplay servers like FiveM.
But on Playstation and Xbox, you're locked into official servers where the only way up is to grind or pay.
Rockstar is delaying the PC release to protect the launch economy of GTA Online 2.0
They're forcing the entire player base onto consoles for the first 12-18 months, and trapping their biggest whales in a closed ecosystem where microtransactions can't be bypassed. It guarantees them the maximum bag during the peak hype window.
Plus, Rockstar acquired FiveM team back in 2023. The delay buys them time to figure out how to officially monetize the PC modding scene before they open the floodgates.
What percentage of PC gamers do you think will get a console just to play GTA 6 at launch?

🚨 A new scam is taking place in America that allows scammers to get your phone number to get past 2-Factor Authentication
Scammers can then get access to your social media accounts, bank accounts and more
AT&T Employee “I work at AT&T and over the last couple days, I've witnessed multiple malicious port-outs, which means that a scammer has tricked your cell phone carrier into allowing them to port your number over into a device that they control, which in turn lets them do the two-factor authentication
Allowing them into your bank account, your email, your social media. A way to prevent this from happening, and this isn't just for AT&T, this is for any cell phone carrier that you have. Most of them have a port-out protection that you should turn on because this has been happening quite a bit lately. So just letting you know”
Again this could happen on any cell phone carrier you have.
I researched and found port-out protection is a free feature offered by major U.S. carriers, including T-Mobile, Metro, and others
Make sure you do this

DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE IN YOUR HOME OR YARD!
In October 2025, Flock (a private company) added Raven microphones, marketed with the slogan "Safety you can see and now hear."
High-powered microphones positioned across city streets, now listening for sounds that algorithms interpret as concerning.

do you understand what happened to PlayStation yesterday..
They quietly turned your game purchases into a 30-day subscription.
No announcement.. No warning..
You didn't rent it.. You BOUGHT it.
→ Every new PSN purchase now has a 30-day validation timer
→ Timer hits zero = game locked
→ CMOS battery dies = game locked
→ No internet for a month = game locked
→ Even FREE demos have the timer now
Game bought March 2nd? No timer. Works forever..
Game bought April 24th? Expires May 24th..
They didn't patch a bug. They shipped this on purpose.
Digital ownership just died. They didn't even tell you.
Destruction Games〡DoesItPlay@desgamesyt
I’ve also been experimenting with this, and I can confirm that if your CMOS battery dies, any digital game with the timer becomes unplayable again, even if the console is set as the primary. This is a digital game I purchased with money yesterday. I didn’t claim it with PS Plus.

In 1900, John D. Rockefeller controlled approximately 90 percent of all petroleum refining in the United States. He was, by some calculations, the richest private individual who had ever lived.
He had a problem. Scientists were discovering that compounds derived from coal tar, a petroleum byproduct, could be used as synthetic medicines. Aspirin, derived from coal tar, had been launched by Bayer in 1899. The petroleum waste stream Rockefeller had previously had to dispose of could now be sold back to the public as medicine at a markup of roughly 10,000 percent.
He had another problem. American medicine in 1900 was a competitive ecosystem of homeopaths, herbalists, naturopaths, osteopaths, midwives, and traditional doctors who used food, plants, water, and lifestyle as the primary tools of healing. Approximately half of all American medical schools taught some form of natural or alternative medicine.
Rockefeller bought into the German pharmaceutical industry, eventually taking a substantial stake in IG Farben, the conglomerate that included Bayer, BASF, and Hoechst. He then commissioned a report.
The report was written by Abraham Flexner, an educator with no medical training, funded by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, and published in 1910. It declared that natural and alternative medical schools were unscientific quackery. It recommended the closure of more than half of all American medical schools and the standardisation of the rest around medicine based on synthetic patented drugs.
Congress acted. Half of American medical schools closed within a decade. The remainder accepted Rockefeller and Carnegie funding on the condition that their curricula be reorganised around pharmaceutical treatment. Nutrition was removed. Herbal medicine was removed. Lifestyle intervention was removed. The doctor's job was redefined: diagnose the symptom, prescribe the drug.
The drugs were petroleum-derived. The petroleum was supplied by Rockefeller-controlled refineries. The medical schools were funded by Rockefeller. The journals were funded by Rockefeller. The AMA was supported by Rockefeller. The hospitals were funded by Rockefeller.
By 1925, the American medical system was a vertically integrated extension of the petroleum industry, operating under the marketing slogan that it was scientific.
This is the system that exists today.
The pharmaceutical industry generates approximately $1.5 trillion in annual revenue. The American population, 4 percent of the global total, consumes approximately 50 percent of all pharmaceuticals manufactured.
The system was not designed to make people healthy. The system was designed to manage symptoms in a way that produces lifetime customers. A healthy patient is a former customer. A managed patient, who takes the pill every day for the rest of their life, is an annuity.
The objective has always been to keep you in that profitable corridor between healthy and dead.
Long enough to keep buying. Not so well that you stop.
The doctor who advises you to fix your metabolism by changing your diet is, from the point of view of the system that trained him, a defective product. The doctor who prescribes you a statin, a metformin, an antidepressant, and a blood pressure medication for life is performing exactly as designed.
The system was designed by an oil baron who needed to sell the waste products of his refineries.
It still functions, 116 years after the Flexner Report, exactly the way he designed it.
You are the customer.
The corridor is where you live.

The Stop Killing Games movement has officially backed the proposed California bill focused on protecting players when online games are shut down.
> Publishers must provide an offline mode or a way to keep the game playable after server shutdown.
> If this is not possible, players should receive a full refund.
> The goal is to protect digital ownership and game preservation.
This proposal follows growing concerns over games becoming completely inaccessible once support ends, especially after shutdowns like The Crew.
Most gamers think that if players pay for a game, it should remain playable or be fairly compensated.

How to use "Gift 'Em All" to grow your stream:
Sub gifting was the best feature Twitch ever launched, so this evolution is a huge opportunity.
If you use it strategically, you will grow. Try these tactics.
1. Promote a goal
Announce that you will "Gift 'Em All" when you hit [X] viewer number, follower number, Discord members, sub goal.. etc.
If you're partner pushing, this can be a great way to hit 75 avg consistently.
Promote this a couple days in advance so people are more likely to show up.
2. Reward early viewers
Announce you will "Gift 'Em All" to everyone who shows up within the first 5 mins of stream being live. This increases viewer numbers faster, helping you sit higher in your directory for a longer time period.
3. Incentivize new followers
Tell them to follow the channel before [X] date, show up live at a specific day, and they might get a free sub.
Bonus: don't tell them what time to show up so you can keep viewership stable vs. a large spike at a specific time
4. Collab gift
Collab with a streamer who has a community & vibe similar to yours. Exchange "Gift 'Em All' on each others channels so there is a reason for viewers to cross over & stay
5. Comeback stream
Sub gifts reactivate old community members. Create a stream specifically to target that previous viewer. Gift Em All at the end to reward those who showed up.
The big lesson:
Don't use this opportunity as a hype moment with no strategic setup. A stream full of gifted subs with no reason to stay subscribed next month is just an expensive way to spike your sub count before it falls back down.
The feature is only as good as what you build around it.

Twitch are testing a “Gift ‘Em All” feature to let users buy a subscription for every “eligible” viewer in a stream
