Hackers are hiding viruses in video subtitle files for media players, allowing them to take over users' devices.

A staggering 200 million users of streaming platforms such as Popcorn Time, Kodi, Stremio and VLC are believed to be vulnerable, say researchers at Check Point. They describe it as 'one of the most widespread, easily accessed and zero-resistance vulnerabilities reported in recent years'.

The hack only affects subtitle files from third-party sites - watching a legitimate copy with its own subtitles should be fine.

But the attack can affect any device: a PC, smart TV or even a mobile device. It's delivered when movie subtitles are loaded by the user’s media player - which treats them as a trusted source.

Closed system. Sure you can hack it but what's profitable about four brick walls. Windows/mac systems and Smart TVs are much more valuable.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
