Teens are using WeedHack malware to target Minecraft players

Teens are using $5 WeedHack malware to target Minecraft players

Published by skeptic

Minecraft is one of the most popular games on the planet. So, of course, that makes Minecraft players a prime target for hackers. In a new cybersecurity report, researchers from McAfee Labs describe new malware that has already logged more than 116,000 hits. When the report was published on June 2, McAfee Labs found that the campaign logs between 2,000 and 3,000 malicious hits every day. Dubbed WeedHack, the malware is being offered as a malware-as-a-service (MaaS). Rather than being shared on the dark web, McAfee reports that WeedHack is readily available on the open web. This means that bad actors don’t need any real technical knowledge to deploy the malware. For as low as $5 per month, would-be hackers can access WeedHack, infect a target of their choice, and deploy a range of tools against that victim. McAfee Labs also uncovered a Telegram channel for WeedHack customers made up of more than 850 members. Inside the Telegram channel, McAfee found that many of the attackers appeared to be teenagers and young adults who used the …

DOGE Alumni Launch AI Startup To Target Waste On Main Street – And Already Have Their First Target

Published by Jenni Sidey

Two alumni of the Department of Government Efficiency are bringing their cost-cutting experience from Washington to the private sector, launching Special, a startup that aims to harness artificial intelligence to wring inefficiencies out of what it describes as America’s $10 trillion Main Street services economy. Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox spent much of 2025 at DOGE, where they spearheaded the Small Agencies team. Their government stint, under the high-profile effort led by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, contributed to approximately $215 billion in estimated savings. The pair departed in September 2025. In the spirit of DOGE, Figure Health plans to open source all of its billing claims, allowing the public to have full visibility into our Medicare and Medicaid… – Nate Cavanaugh (@natecavanaugh) June 2, 2026 “Similar to the government, Main Street is massive, highly unoptimized, and provides essential services to Americans. One needs to look no further than childcare learning centers in Minnesota or hospice businesses in California to find immense waste at the state level from businesses that benefit from taxpayer dollars,” …

The Final Target by Nora Roberts

The Final Target by Nora Roberts

Published by Jenni Sidey

Some books announce their intentions on the first page. The Final Target by Nora Roberts opens with a debut author named Arden Bowie peeling an orange in her childhood-soaked kitchen and walking into a bookstore signing she has waited her whole life for. By page ten, a polite young man with a Titian-hair compliment and a too-steady gaze has her instincts itching. By the end of the first part, that itch has consequences she will spend the rest of the novel learning to live with. This is Roberts’ 250th-plus novel, and it shows in the best and worst senses. She knows exactly where to put the camera. She also knows what readers expect from a romantic suspense in her name, and she delivers it with the unhurried confidence of a writer who could probably outline this book in her sleep. The Plot Without the Plot Twists Arden is an introvert in her late twenties living above her aunt’s garage in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. She has a found family she adores, a …
