While I take them with a grain of salt—since beauty is in the eye of the beholder—these scores still have a marked influence over what gets added to my watchlist and what gets filed away as a maybe. When RT scores surge to high levels, though, they indicate something demands attention, and that’s the focus of this weekend’s recommendations on Amazon Prime Video. In this weekend’s mix of recommendations, our top pick is a 2020 sci-fi adventure series that surged in popularity right to…

The new trick exploits the common practice among developers these days of downloading and executing scripts through ‘curl-to-bash’ commands from online sources without closely inspecting the assets first. Researchers at Push Security, a browser threat detection and response company, found that attackers use the new InstallFix technique with cloned pages for popular CLI tools that serve malicious install commands. Since the current security model “boils down to ‘trust…
