Phishing As-a-Service (PHAAS), known as Lighthouse and Lucid, is linked to over 17,500 phishing domains covering 316 brands from 74 countries. “The deployment of Phishing Ash Services (PHAAS) has been rising significantly recently,” Netcraft said in a new report. “PHAAS operators will charge you a monthly fee for phishing software with pre-installed templates. Lucid was first documented in early April this year by Swiss Cybersecurity Company Prodaft and detailed the phishing kit’s ability to send Smishing messages via Apple Imessage and Rich Communication Services (RCS) for Android. The service is rated as the work of a Chinese-speaking threat actor known…

Burmese pythons in Florida’s Big Cypress National Reserve vomited an entire whitetail deer after temperatures in South Florida fell below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) in their later years last year.Pison is known to vomit food in a cold laboratory setting, but scientists have never caught an elusive snake doing it in the wild. The unusual observations made in late November 2024 are explained in a study published in the Journal Ecology and Evolution in July.”It’s a surprise almost every day,” Mark Sandfoss, a senior author of the study and a biologist at the USGS, told Live Science. “Python…
September 19, 2025Hacker NewsAI Automation/Security Operations Run by teams on workflow orchestration and AI platform Tines, the Tines library features over 1,000 pre-built workflows shared by security practitioners from across the community. Our emphasis on workflows streamline security alert processing by automatically identifying and executing the appropriate standard operating procedures (SOPs) from Confluence. When an alert is triggered, the AI agent analyzes it, finds the relevant SOPS, and performs the necessary repair steps. It was created by Michael Tolan, L2 security researcher at Tines, and Peter Wrenn, senior solutions engineer at Tines. In this guide, we share an overview of…
Few gadgets are as iconic as computer mice. This has been a staple of desktop PCs since its appearance about 60 years ago.This design has experienced a variety of evolutions, from trackballs to lasers, wireless, wireless and various ergonomic redesigns to improve comfort and reduce the risk of wrist tension. Still, the basic form factors have remained largely recognizable up until now.In the new study, the researchers developed two prototype mouse designs. This marked a more fundamental deviation from the more fundamental norm. One has a retractable mesh body and the other has an A-frame design with vertically standing hinged.…
The best time to see Saturn is almost here. On September 21st, the reverberating planet reaches the opposite. In other words, the Earth is placed directly between Saturn and the Sun. (In other words, it is on the other side of the Earth, like the Sun.) At that moment, the Sun, Earth, and Saturn form a straight line.During the opposite period, Saturn will appear to be at the closest point to Earth, and therefore its biggest and brightest. Like the full moon, Saturn appears to be fully illuminated by the sun’s rays due to its position compared to the sun.…
Spectrum Blue explains how the preventable death of two-year-old AWAAB Ishak exposes systemic housing disorders from mold exposure, leading to the creation of AWAAB laws, and set strict new standards for protecting tenants and saving lives. In December 2020, two-year-old Awaab Ishak passed away at Royal Oldham Hospital. The coroner later confirmed that his parents had feared for many years. The flat mold of their council slowly, invisible, killed the child. The investigation was terrible. The landlord, Rochdale Borrowwide Housing (RBH), knew about the mold. Awaab’s father was only told in 2017 to “paint it.” No major repairs were made.…
Mastodon, a nonprofit organization that maintains software with decentralized alternatives to social networks such as Threads and X, has a new plan to make money. Instead of relying entirely on donations and grants as before, the company announced Friday it would provide paid hosting, moderation and support services to organizations that want to participate in the open social web. Also known as Fediverse, this network provides a way for individuals and organizations to set up their own servers that interconnect with others who run ActivityPub, which is the same protocol. ActivityPub has powered a variety of software applications including Mastodon,…
A comet with a long tail has been discovered near the sun, and some astronomers have predicted it will be visible to the naked eye in mid-October. That may mean that two bright comets can be seen in the night sky at the same time at the peak of the meteor shower.The COMET C/2025 R2 (Swan), or for short, was discovered on September 12 by NASA’s orbital solar dynamics observatory. The previously unknown comet was discovered in an image of Swan by Ukrainian amateur astronomer Vladimir Bezugly, according to today’s Universe, and was originally called the Swan25b. Three days later,…
The UK Food System is making its most ambitious rethink in decades to reconstruct the way the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) programme sets £47.5 million practical action to reconstruct the way food is grown, produced and consumed. The findings, published along with 12 academic papers in the Royal Society B philosophical deal, call for healthier diets, stronger communities and lower environmental impacts across the country. The five-year Transforming UK Food Systems program launched in 2021 brings together over 200 partners from universities, government, industry and charities. Its mission is clear. It places public health and the natural environment at…
