| Amazon’s Ring has been blaming reused passwords, but now thousands of logins have leaked Posted: 19 Dec 2019 05:47 PM PST  Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Amazon's Ring is having a very bad week. BuzzFeed News first reported today that login credentials for thousands of Ring camera owners have been published online, including 3,672 sets of emails, passwords, time zones, and the names given to specific Ring cameras ("front door" or "kitchen," for example). Later today, TechCrunch reported on a set of 1,562 credentials, also consisting of unique email addresses, passwords, time zones, and a camera's named location. It's unclear if there's overlap in the two datasets, but TechCrunch said that its data "appears to be a similar-looking data set to that which [BuzzFeed News] obtained." In the hands of a bad actor, this information could potentially be used to log into your Ring account, watch... |
| Cox owes $1 billion to record labels for harboring music pirates, jury decides Posted: 19 Dec 2019 05:35 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Over the past few years, record labels have been suing ISPs for not removing music pirates from their services, and today, the record labels may have won a tremendous victory. A US District Court jury has found Cox Communications liable for piracy infringement of more than 10,000 musical works, and as a result, has awarded $1 billion in damages to Sony Music, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and EMI, as reported by Billboard and Variety. Essentially, the recording industry just showed that a jury will buy its argument that an ISP should be held liable for failing to kick a music pirate off its network. And similar lawsuits like the one Cox lost today have been filed against Charter, Charter subsidiary Bright House Networks, RCN,... |
| Flickr owner SmugMug says it needs more money to ‘keep the Flickr dream alive’ Posted: 19 Dec 2019 04:18 PM PST  Photo by Lionel Bonaventure/AFP via Getty Images Photo hosting service SmugMug has penned an open letter asking fans of the photo site Flickr, which it acquired from Yahoo two years ago, to sign up for the platform's Pro subscription to help "keep the Flickr dream alive." The letter, authored by SmugMug founder and CEO Don MacAskill and obtained by The Verge, details Flickr's ongoing financial woes and makes the case for Flickr Pro as a way to keep the service afloat. The letter opens with a bit of self-deprecation, in which MacAskill calls Flickr "the world's most-beloved, money-losing business." But his plea for help is a serious one, and MacAskill says he's not fishing for donations. He adds that every Flickr Pro subscription "goes directly to keeping Flickr alive and creating... |

| Google Walkout organizer Claire Stapleton tells her story of the company’s retaliation Posted: 19 Dec 2019 03:31 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Claire Stapleton, one of the organizers of the watershed Google Walkout protest, has penned a first-person essay for Elle magazine detailing her time at the search giant and the series of events leading up to her resignation this past June after alleged retaliation from upper management. The essay, appropriately titled "Google Loved Me, Until I Pointed Out Everything That Sucked About It," is among the first public and detailed accounts from Google's growing activist coalition about the way the company has been treating protest and labor organizers. It's well worth a read for understanding the situation inside Google and how fraught its corporate culture has become in the last few years. Stapleton, who says she became known as the... |
| If you stopped at a Wawa mini mart recently, your payment card details may have been snatched Posted: 19 Dec 2019 03:07 PM PST  If you used your credit card or debit card to buy gas or pay for snacks at any Wawa convenience store, anytime in the past nine months, your card information may have been skimmed by malware. The Philadelphia-based gas and convenience store chain says it discovered the malware on its payment processing servers on December 10th, but it took quite a while for the company to notice — the malware may have affected all 700 of its locations across five states since March. Credit card and debit card numbers, expiration dates and customers' names on the cards used at its in-store registers and gas pumps were among the data affected, the company says. The company's announcement and FAQ doesn't begin to suggest how the malware got there or who... |
| Watch Tested explain how Half-Life: Alyx will work on every big PC VR headset Posted: 19 Dec 2019 03:00 PM PST  Image: Valve Valve Software's Half-Life: Alyx is less than six months away, and since it requires a VR headset, lots of players might be considering a major hardware purchase right now. The gold standard is Valve's own Index, with its high-end construction and unique controllers — but that requires a lot of setup and almost $1,000. The cheaper all-purpose option is the Oculus Quest, which can now be tethered to a PC — but it's got simpler controllers and a front-heavy design. And what about old headsets like the now-retired consumer HTC Vive? Adam Savage's Tested might offer some helpful guidance. Valve invited Tested founders Will Smith and Norman Chan to play around three hours of the upcoming game on eight PC VR headset systems, including the... |
| After a bumpy launch, Google Stadia adds indie developer Typhoon Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:41 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge After the shaky launch of Google's cloud gaming service Stadia, which failed to deliver on some promised features amid questions about whether Google would support it long-term, the company announced on Thursday that it has added Typhoon Studios, the indie developer behind the forthcoming game Journey to the Savage Planet. It's not a huge acquisition; Typhoon only has about two dozen employees, and its first game, which has yet to launch, won't be exclusive to Stadia. But it's the first investment Google has made in Stadia since the launch, and it's a signal that the internet giant known for killing off unsuccessful features isn't backing away despite Stadia's rough start. The addition of Typhoon may follow the road map Google outlined... |
| Lyft’s algorithm is trying to block people with names like ‘Dick,’ ‘Finger,’ and ‘Cummings’ Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:08 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Lyft is flagging people with names its algorithm thinks are inappropriate, like "Dick," "Finger," and "Cummings." The ride-hail company is sending messages to these users telling them their names don't align with its community guidelines, and are being directed to change their name or get booted from the service. Naturally, this is creating some consternation among people with, shall we say, delicate-sounding names.

| Billionaire Tom Steyer profited from fossil fuels, and now he wants them eliminated Posted: 19 Dec 2019 01:38 PM PST  Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images Over the past decade, billionaire presidential candidate Tom Steyer has reinvented himself from fossil fuel funder to climate crusader. He reached a net worth of $1.6 billion as a hedge fund manager who invested in coal, oil, and gas (among other things). But lately, he's become better known as an activist and donor hell-bent on removing Donald Trump from office and funding a transition away from the fossil fuels that helped him get rich. In July, Steyer stepped down from leading his Need to Impeach campaign in order to enter the Democratic primary race. He's polling at just 1 percent, but he'll take the stage during the debates tonight. Taking on climate change, he says, is his top priority. The Verge talked with Steyer about his... |
