A giant plasma plume called “The Beast” was recently found dancing in the sun as it showered the stars in our home with an incredibly fast chunk of fire.

Scientists have discovered a long-lost landscape that has been preserved for 30 million years under an Antarctic ice sheet.The erosion by ancient rivers appears to have been carved large flat surfaces under the ice in the East Antarctica 80-34 million years ago.

A threat activity cluster has been observed and is targeting a fully patched Life-of-Life Sonicwall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 100 Series appliance as part of a campaign designed to drop backdoors called OverStep.

As Alameda, California is celebrating its water shuttle service milestone and considering expanding its services, Roger Dick points to the underground tunnel in Lyon, France, offering another solution to shut down people across cars and difficult terrain. In Lyon, two sides of the city are connected by two tunnels. One is for vehicles built in the 1950s, and the other is for transport, bicycles and pedestrians built in 2013. The bike/ped side of the tunnel is a “bright art decoration passageway” that crosses people safely. Compared to the Bay Area, Ruddick points out that California transport engineers insist on dedicating…

The CEO of the UK retail conglomerate said the hackers stole personal data from all of the company’s customers during the April cyberattack, according to the cooperative co-op on Wednesday.
