Watch: Until Dawn movies first look has landed
Supermassive Games’ “Until Dawn” has been adapted into a live-action horror movie, with Peter Stormare returning. Watch the first look.
In 2015, Until Dawn was the video game that dared to put horror fans to the test, asking if they had what it took to survive a slasher movie. Written by indie horror icon Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, this Supermassive Game put players in the shoes of a band of teen friends, who reconvene at an icy and remote mountain cabin on the anniversary of a horrid prank, which led to two of their friends going missing. Now, something’s in the woods and out for blood. And as players switch characters and make life-and-death decisions, the biggest question is who will survive until dawn.
Sony published the hit game and is now producing the movie adaptation, which tweaks the premise, setting, and characters to give audiences something unexpected.
Here’s the official synopsis from Sony Entertainment:
One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again — only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.
In the first look above, writer/producer Gary Dauberman and director David F. Sandberg give us a glimpse at what this Until Dawn has in store — including that the movie will show us ways the characters could die (like the totems in the game?), and then as Sandberg puts it, “things start over and they get to try again.” Will working this game mechanic into the game make for fresh thrills? We can’t wait to find out.
Where the original game starred the likes of Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Jordan Fisher, the movie version reveals a new slate of stars: Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, and Maia Mitchell. And seemingly reprising his role as Dr. Alan J. Hill is the dependably unnerving Peter Stormare.
Until Dawn is coming to theaters in 2025.
DirecTV is launching its first sports-only subscription
DirecTV just launched its new sports-only streaming service, MySports. The initial launch includes 40 sports from channels like ESPN, Fox Sports, the Golf Channel and more. It also includes sport-specific channels like the MLB Network, the NFL Network and NBA TV. The service will initially be available in 24 metro areas, including New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
It’ll also include local channels owned by ABC, Fox and NBC so that people can watch games exclusively available on those channels. DirecTV will also add more channels to the mix in the future, as it’s currently in talks with CBS to gain access to its content.
A MySports subscription costs $70 a month, but if you sign up right now, you can pay $50 a month for the first three months. This offer lasts until February 25. If you don’t want to commit so soon, there’s also a five-day free trial, Variety notes. A MySports subscription is around $10 cheaper than what competitors like YouTube TV and Fubo offer, priced at $83 and $80 a month, respectively.
You can watch MySports content using the DirecTV app on iOS and Android. It’s also available on smart TV platforms like Fire TV, Android TV and Apple TV.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/directv-is-launching-its-first-sports-only-subscription-144553549.html?src=rss

CISA tells agencies to patch BeyondTrust bug now
Two BeyondTrust bugs have made it into CISA’s KEV after being abused in the wild.
CISA added two bugs found in BeyondTrust products
Both were seen in the wild in December 2024
Federal agencies have until February 3, 2025 to patch up
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two recently-discovered BeyondTrust bugs to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.
The move means CISA has seen evidence of the bugs being exploited in the wild, and has thus given federal agencies a deadline to patch the software or stop using it entirely.
In late December 2024, BeyondTrust confirmed suffering a cyberattack after spotting and uncovering some of its Remote Support SaaS instances were compromised. Subsequent investigation uncovered these two flaws, which the company later patched.
Attacks on the Treasury Department
The bugs are tracked as CVE-2024-12686, and CVE-2024-12356. The former is a medium-severity vulnerability (6.6 score), described as a flaw in Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS) that allows malicious actors with existing admin privileges to inject commands and run as a site user. The latter is a critical vulnerability which can allow an unauthenticated attacker to inject commands that are run as a site user. It was given a 9.8 severity score (critical).
CVE-2024-12356 was added to KEV on December 19, while CVE-2024-12686 on January 13. That means that users had until January 9 to address the first, and have until February 3, 2025, to address the second flaw.
The news comes after the US Treasury Department was hit by a cyberattack in early January 2025 where the attackers, thought to be Silk Typhoon, a notorious cyber-espionage group allegedly on the payroll of the Chinese government, used a stolen Remote Support SaaS API key to compromise a BeyondTrust instance.
Silk Typhoon is perhaps best known for targeting some 68,500 servers in early 2021 using Microsoft Exchange Server ProxyLogon zero-days.
Silk Typhoon is a part of a wider network of “Typhoon” groups – Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, Flax Typhoon, and Brass Typhoon. Salt Typhoon was recently linked to a number of high-profile breaches, including at least four major US telecom operators.

Pick up this Anker 5K USB-C power bank while it’s only $20
I recently came back from a trip and the whole journey home I had one goal: find an outlet. My phone was at about 30 percent by the time I got to the airport, so I searched for outlets across the terminal and then worried about finding access on the train back home. All of this stress was simply because I didn’t bring my Anker Nano Power Bank with me.
Now, I have the option with a lightning charger, but, if you’re also traveling quite a bit (or even often out all day), then check out the sale on Anker’s Nano Power Bank with Built-in USB-C Connector. Right now, the power bank is 33 percent off, down to $20 from $30. This deal brings it to just about $4 more than its record-low price last Black Friday.
We’ve rated the Anker Nano Power Bank with Built-In USB-C as the best portable charger for Android devices (though it’s also great for the iPhone 15 and 16). It’s compact enough to fit in a small purse or a pocket and doesn’t require any cord attached to it. We found the 5,000mAh battery had enough juice to charge a Galaxy S23 Ultra to 65 percent in about an hour, so it works best for a quick boost while you’re running around. Plus, you can see how much battery is left thanks to four indicator lights on its front.
