BlizzCon 2017
As in previous years, BlizzCon 2017 tickets are sold only offline. But that does not mean that if you do not have a ticket, you will have to miss the event, as this year virtual tickets for BlizzCon are also available. And most importantly, this year virtual tickets for BlizzCon offer much more.
The virtual ticket gives access to all BlizzCon events, not just a limited number of press conferences, as it was before. This time there will be streams from the developer's computers, competitions, Q & A sessions, and the entire closing ceremony. The opening of BlizzCon and events dedicated to virtual competitions will be free for everyone.
The BlizzCon 2017 Virtual Ticket gives you access to the BlizzCon All Access Channel, which, according to Blizzard, lets you see behind-the-scenes activities, attend the thematic locations like "The Dark Moon," to see interviews with developers, professional gamers, leading and more. There will also be gifts for Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo III, StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which will arrive to accounts with some delay.
The BlizzCon 2017 is the eleventh game event to be held from 3 to 4 November in Anaheim, California.

Equifax had 'admin' as login and password in Argentina
Equifax, a credit reporting agency, recently suffered a data breach, leaving millions around the world with their personal information being accessed. Equifax has many domains around the world. Notably, in Argentina, it has been found that by using "admin" as the username and password, allowing access to confidential information on people registered with Equifax, including information such as national identity numbers, names, addresses, and more. The breach in Argentina was not in connection with the breach that happened earlier in the US, but it is quite possible that the people behind the US data breach were also responsible for the data breach in Equifax Argentina, and the rest of the world. Although data has been breached, Equifax has confidently stated they believe no one has been negatively affected by the breach, and they are ensuring everyone they are working on improving their security measures so something like this does not happen again.

Toronto real estate agent laughed at gunman before being fatally shot at restaurant
It's always a wise idea to take any hostage like situation seriously unless you for sure know it's not real, and that is exactly what a real state agent in Toronto found out Saturday night. When the incident occurred Simon Giannini was at a restaurant buying some coffee; when he got done getting his things the shooter came in to shoot; however, Simon thought it was not a real shooting and started laughing. Police still don't know for what reason Simon was targeted but they think it most likely has to do with something work related. However our best wishes go out to Mr. Giannini and his family and hope they get through this tough time.

Hackers hid malware in CCleaner software
CCleaner, the widely used PC enhancement software, had its security breached by hackers recently. The malware was successfully injected into the application and affected millions of users worldwide. Cisco Talos security researchers discovered that the hackers compromised Avast's (owners of CCleaner) download servers and used it to distribute the malware injected version of CCleaner. The Talos team stated that "for a period of time, the legitimate signed version of CCleaner 5.33 being distributed by Avast also contained a multi-stage malware payload that rode on top of the installation of CCleaner." This is considered a big hit to the reputation of CCleaner as it is trusted by millions of users to get rid of the junk and unnecessary files on their computers. "By exploiting the trust relationship between software vendors and the users of their software, attackers can benefit from users' inherent trust in the files and web servers used to distribute updates,” says Talos. It appears that this malware was aimed to use the victims' computers as a part of a botnet.

How long should a $999 iPhone last?
People always want to have the latest phones; however, it's becoming harder and harder for people to keep up with the cost of getting a new phone. Apple hasn't made this issue any easier with their new release of iPhone X which will cost somewhere around $1100-$1500 and more in other countries. However this will not stop people from buying this ridiculously pricey phone but the question is that is this phone worth the price you have to pay for it? The battery life is not something people should look forward to nor the processing speed since it's not worth the outrageous price you have to pay, although the one thing that iPhone x does offer is better security and face emoji that people can enjoy. If apply keeps going at this pace and makes the prices more expensive every year then most middle class people will most likely never see a iPhone X on the day it is released. People will need to learn if they want make rent or if they want to buy a new phone.

Rockstar - Post Malone ft 21 Savage
I was recommended this song by a friend, since I don't normally listen to either Post Malone or 21 Savage and I can say one thing to sum up my feelings during this song; I don't listen to Post and 21 for a reason. This song is just plain not good. Let's start with Post Malone, he's got great vocals but the beat doesn't compliment them. Plus his enunciation is really destroying the vibe with this one. The line "I been poppin' pillies like a rockstar" is nothing less than cringy. Don't get me wrong, Post has some nice inflection and lines in half of the hook, but it's quickly destroyed by how awful 21 Savage sounds on this track. So we go from high pitched clean vocals from Post to the monotone and nasally rapped bars 21 Savage attempts to deliver. Personally I don't know how 21 Savage ever made a career. He isn't fun to listen to, and he isn't a good rapper.
If you're interested in listening to this song just google it. I'm not going to link it because it's not a good song.
I give this song a 1 / 10. It gets a 1 instead of a 0 because Post Malone has 1 line that actually sounds good.

CounterStrike: Global Offensive Hacks
This week I thought you “qued (could)” use a little Counter Strike: Global Offensive Hack. Made by our own @MaGicSuR, the QueCheat Public hack brings back the staples of Counter Strike hacking. It includes many functions, but the key categories include aimbot, triggerbot, visuals and misc (radar hack, bunny hop etc). Installing the hack can be done in 4 easy to understand steps which are listed on the original thread and it even allows you to set custom keys to the hack. The author is active in updating this hack so always check the section for updates. These updates could be critical in saving your accounts from being banned. Be careful when using hacks on a monitored game such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, as public hacks can become detected pretty quickly. Ensure to check both the thread and the Counter Strike: Global Offensive Hack section for news and tips on staying safe. Happy hacking.

Sharks Found Swimming In New York Basement
A recent search of a New York home’s basement led to the discovery of more than half a dozen sharks swimming inside of an above ground pool.
In all, seven live sandbar sharks, as well as two dead leopard sharks and one dead hammerhead shark, were found. The home, roughly 75 miles north of New York City, was suspected of harboring illegal wildlife, the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) said. The animals, which were described as swimming in a 15-feet-diameter pool, were captured “with ease” before being measured, tagged and having their blood taken. More than half a dozen sharks are recovering at an aquarium after being found swimming in a pool inside of a New York home’s basement.
Though the sandbar sharks were found to be in good condition, they were “not in good health due to the conditions in which they were found and the transport they initially went through,” Puntillo said.
