🦊 Firefox Tests Free Built-In VPN — Browser-Only Protection (2025-10-14)
Mozilla is testing a new feature called “Firefox VPN”, a free, built-in browser VPN that protects only Firefox browsing traffic 🔒.

• 🧭 Routes all browser data through Mozilla-managed VPN servers in the U.S.
• 🕵️♀️ Hides your real IP and adds an extra encryption layer for privacy.
• ⚙️ Can be toggled directly from the Firefox toolbar.
• 🧩 During testing: no speed or data limits, and minimal telemetry collected.
• ❌ No logs of visited websites or browsing content.
Currently, the test rollout is limited to a small group of users.

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch Sora 2, a standalone social app where every video is fully AI-generated 🎥.
🔑 Key Features
• 📱 TikTok-like vertical feed — endless scroll with a “For You” style recommendation page.
• 🤖 Next-gen AI video model — create up to 10-second clips, generated instantly by OpenAI’s system.
• ❤️ Interactive tools — users can like, comment, or even remix videos directly in-app.

🎮 Steam Removes Malicious Game That Stole $150K in Crypto (2025-9-23)
Valve has removed a game called “BlockBlasters” from Steam after it was discovered stealing over $150,000 worth of cryptocurrency from hundreds of unsuspecting players 💰.
🕹️ Developed by Genesis Interactive, BlockBlasters initially received 200+ “Very Positive” reviews and first appeared on Steam on July 30. But on August 30, the developer secretly added a crypto-stealing ransomware component.
😱 The scheme came to light when Latvian streamer Raivo Plavnieks (Rastaland.TV)—who is battling stage-four cancer—reported losing $32,000 after downloading the game.
🔍 According to malware-tracking group vx-underground on X, attackers used spear-phishing tactics to lure streamers with fake sponsorship offers. “This Steam title was actually crypto-mining malware disguised as a legitimate game,” vx-underground wrote.
🚫 On September 21, Steam also removed several other malicious titles, including PirateFi, Sniper: Phantom Resolution, and Chemia, all of which infected Windows systems.
Valve has not yet issued an official comment.

🎶 Spotify HiFi Lossless Audio Rolls Out to 52 Countries — Developing Markets Missing (2025-9-19)
Spotify officially announced on September 10 that its long-awaited HiFi lossless audio feature will begin rolling out this October to 52 countries and regions. Premium subscribers in areas such as United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Australia are among the first to receive access.

Major developing markets such as India, Philippines, Turkey and many other regions are not included.
