Cyberleek says ‘GTA 6’ leaks are over, warns of dead man’s switch

Cyberleek says ‘GTA 6’ leaks are over, warns of dead man’s switch

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Cyberleek might finally, mercifully, be done sharing Grand Theft Auto VI clips. On the Cyberleek website, as spotted by Reddit and cited by Kotaku, the person or group of people behind all the recent GTA 6 leaks you may have seen on your social feeds appeared to call it quits. According to the post, the leaker’s threat to release a full build of the game will seemingly go unfulfilled, as they did not meet the $30 million market value goal for their memecoin. However, the post did imply that there is a “dead man’s switch” in place that will release the build, or some other kind of spoiler content, if anyone tries to “remove” Cyberleek.

It would punish Take-Two greatly – but ruin the experience for the gamers, who did nothing wrong,” the post said. “Take-Two would show CL no mercy – why should CL show any to them? Still: Take-Two was punished enough. The ending …

Louvre Director Warns of ‘Disaster’ If Museum Doesn’t Get Renovations

Louvre Director Warns of ‘Disaster’ If Museum Doesn’t Get Renovations

Published by Jenni Sidey

Christophe Leribault, who recently took the reins at the Louvre in Paris, said that the museum could close altogether if it does not receive renovations that would improve the institution’s security and aging infrastructure. “Whoever forms the next government must keep in mind that if the Louvre is not repaired, updated and transformed, it will very quickly fall behind and will eventually have to close its doors to the public,” Leribault told Le Figaro on Wednesday. “That would be a disaster.” Source link

ATF Director Denies Existence Of Gun Registry, Warns That Future Admins Could Develop One

ATF Director Denies Existence Of Gun Registry, Warns That Future Admins Could Develop One

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Michael Clements via The Epoch Times, Gun Owners of America and members of Congress are renewing their call for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to destroy approximately 1.4 billion ATF records that they call an illegal gun registry. ATF Director Robert Cekada and President Donald Trump say ATF databases comply with federal law while providing an important crime-fighting tool. Cekada tells a story about the widow of a former ATF employee who wanted the agency to generate a list of her husband’s firearms so she could account for them. “I said, ‘Ma’am, I’m sorry, we can’t do that.’ And she was shocked because she thought, like everyone thinks, that we have this ability. We just don’t,” Cekada told The Epoch Times. In a 2022 report, Gun Owners of America Director of Federal Affairs Aidan Johnston wrote that the ATF has a database ready to be converted into an “illegal gun owner registry.” In 2021, the gun-rights advocacy group revealed an ATF internal document that showed the Biden administration had …

Syrian Kurdish leader cites progress in integration deal but warns of unresolved issues 

Published by Sam Flores

Kobani, Northeast Syria —  Editor’s note: this story was translated from the original VOA Kurdish article. A Syrian Kurdish leader says efforts to integrate their autonomous administration and military forces into the Syrian state have made progress, but uncertainty over Kurdish rights and implementation of agreements continues to raise concerns. Speaking at the Middle East Research Institute (MERI) in Erbil, Syrian Kurdish leader Ilham Ahmad said the integration process had helped restore connections between Syrian cities, reopen border crossings and allow displaced people to return home. “The integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian army has progressed well so far,” Ahmad said, adding that the process had brought a degree of stability. Damascus and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reached an integration agreement in January following military pressure and U.S.- and French-mediated negotiations. SDF commander Mazloum Abdi announced in August the dissolution of the force as an independent military organization. Ahmad said a presidential decree recognizing Kurdish identity, culture and language was a significant achievement, but practical measures, particularly Kurdish-language education, remained …

AI ‘supercharging’ security threats to UK, MI5 warns | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Artificial intelligence (AI) is “supercharging” security threats to the UK, including the potential development by terrorists and states of new killer bioweapons, the head of MI5 has warned. The security service has launched an assessment centre this year to examine AI risks, Sir Ken McCallum revealed, amid concerns about the possibility of some form of self-deciding super intelligence posing a danger to the whole of humanity. “Human history has given us no experience of facing an actor which is smarter than we are, is capable of out-thinking us,” the director general said in an annual threat speech on Tuesday. “This is genuinely novel and deserves the attention it is getting, including in MI5.” The spy chief also highlighted the growth and spread of more conventional threats. He said that MI5 is dealing with a fourfold increase over the past decade in cases involving hostile states, primarily from Russia, Iran and China. The volume of plots – including sabotage, assassination attempts, cyber attacks and arson – is so great that the agency is now dedicating more …

Politics Home Article | Tories Risk Falling Into Burnham’s Brexit “Trap”, Warns Andy Street

Published by Sam Flores

3 min read08 October The Conservatives risk falling into a “trap” set by Andy Burnham on relations with the European Union, former Tory mayor Andy Street has warned. Speaking at Conservative Party conference in Birmingham this week, Street argued that the Labour Prime Minister was goading the Tories into a hardline EU policy that would cost them key votes at the next general election. “It is a trap that has been set for us by a very clever politician,” he warned. Street, who was West Midlands mayor from 2017 to 2024 before helping set up centre-right organisation Prosper UK, spoke at a panel discussion hosted by think tank More in Common and chaired by PoliticsHome. On the eve of Tory conference, the party’s deputy leader Alex Burghart said the Conservatives would reverse Labour government steps to deepen UK ties with the EU, describing the reset initiated by former prime minister Keir Starmer as “extraordinary” and “disastrous”. Burghart told The Sunday Times that if elected to government, the Conservatives would undo UK-EU deals in areas like food standards and youth …

Putin’s ‘Professor Doomsday’ warns of nuclear annihilation – ‘Millions | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

Putin (Image: Getty) Millions of innocent people face death if Vladimir Putin pushes his nuclear button, the West was warned today. ‘Professor Doomsday’ Sergei Karaganov, 74, sinister Honorary Chairman of the Presidium of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defence Policy, was a longtime adviser to the Russian dictator. He bluntly warned that Russia will go nuclear if Western allies such as the UK send troops into Ukraine or touch the Kremlin’s Baltic Sea outpost, Kaliningrad, or other territory. “I hope it does not come to that, but Russia would be forced to launch a nuclear strike if NATO countries deployed troops to Ukrainian territory or if there were a direct threat to Russian territory,” he said. “Fortunately, both the Foreign Minister [Sergei Lavrov] and the President [Vladimir Putin] himself have stated that if the situation escalates—for instance, if NATO were to act directly on our soil, specifically in Kaliningrad—the war would be short.” He gave a chilling smile as he said: “It is absolutely clear that such a war would be nuclear.” Karaganov claimed: “I …
