Hey there, did you miss us?

San Francisco’s MTA suffered a ransomware attack this weekend

The big winners in an SFMTA breach over the weekend appear to be train riders, who got free fares on Friday and Saturday. Due to what the agency is calling a ransomware attack, it turned off ticket machines and fare gates but kept the trains running from Friday evening until Sunday morning. The people behind the attack claim they demanded a $73,000 Bitcoin ransom, but they didn’t get it, and the systems have been restored to service. Now it’s time to find out if they will follow through on a threat to leak MTA data or if that was just a bluff.

AT&T will launch DirecTV Now streaming on November 30th

The latest player in internet-provided TV is AT&T, which is leveraging its recent satellite TV acquisition as the brand name for an over-the-top service that follows in the footsteps of PlayStation Vue and Dish Network’s Sling TV. If you sign up during the initial period, you can lock in a $60, 100-channel package for $35 per month, but that promo price will only be available for a little while. At launch, it will work with Apple TV, Fire TV devices, iOS, Android, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari, while Roku support is due early next year. At the moment, however, it’s missing a DVR feature, CBS and Showtime channels.

The new FRESHeBUDS Pro have longer battery life, improved sound quality, and automatic pairing—and they're 75 percent off right now.

Test can show if the speed of light has changed
