Submission + - Seth Rogen Says Sony Wouldn't Allow Jonah Hill to Use a PlayStation in 'Superbad (variety.com)

Jasie writes: Seth Rogen took a studio note personally on “Superbad,” when Sony objected to Jonah Hill‘s character using a PlayStation 2 in a scene because he was too “reprehensible.”

“They were like, ‘We can’t have him interact with our products as a character, because it’s too vile a character.’ And I was like, ‘It’s based on me, that’s very insulting,'” the star said through laughs, speaking with RottenTomatoes on the red carpet for the SXSW premiere of his new Apple TV+ series “The Studio.”

Submission + - Trump's efforts to help Tesla could hurt it instead (apnews.com)

Jasie writes: Tesla investors cheered Tuesday as Trump came to the defense of Musk’s beleaguered and boycotted carmaker by lavishing the Tesla CEO with praise in a press conference as five Teslas lined up in the White House driveway.

But experts warn the unusual presidential backing of a private company could backfire.

Submission + - White-Hat Hacks Ransomware Gang and Releases Decryption Keys (zdnet.com)

ccnafr writes: A user got his revenge on the ransomware gang who encrypted his files by hacking their server and releasing the decryption keys for all victims. This happened earlier today and involved the Muhstik gang. Muhstik is a recent strain of ransomware that has been active since late September. It targets QNAP NAS devices. Hackers breach devices because of weak phpMyAdmin credentials, and then encrypt users data.

One victim, a German software developer, ended up paying the ransom, reverse engineering the malware, breaking into its C&C server, retrieving decryption keys, and then publishing the keys on Pastebin as revenge.
