412,000 The Town 2025 Ticket Buyers’ Data Hits the Dark Web

A forum seller is offering 412,192 The Town 2025 ticket buyer records, mostly Brazilian with CPF numbers, marketed for bank fraud, loans and SIM registration.

A seller on a Russian-language forum listed a database of 412,192 Latin American ticket purchase records from The Town 2025 festival in Sao Paulo for $10,000, with 251,557 Brazilian records (61% of the total). Data includes names, emails, CPF numbers, phones, neighborhoods, ticket types and payment details, and the seller explicitly markets CPFs for Brazilian bank fraud, loans and SIM registration. Ransomnews validated the sample as genuine ticket-buyer data, but identical October 1, 2025 processing timestamps suggest a single post-event batch export rather than a direct Ticketmaster breach.

The complex corporate web behind a $3.2 billion AI data center

Ars Technica probes diffuse accountability behind TeraWulf's $3.2B Lake Mariner AI data center after a June fire exposed safety and job gaps.

A June fire at the Lake Mariner data center in Somerset, New York exposed missing alarms, a nonfunctioning suppression system, and dry hydrants, highlighting how responsibility is split across TeraWulf (owner-operator), Fluidstack (operator), Google (lease guarantees and equity warrants), and Anthropic (compute customer). The article details local concerns over the gap between promised 165 permanent jobs and a projected 35-40, socialized grid costs, and Governor Hochul's moratorium on hyperscaler development. Anthropic's February 2026 pledge to cover electricity price increases applies to the site but leaves other commitments unverified.

Cops Search Thousands of Flock Cameras for Reasons of ‘LMAO,’ ‘IDK,’ ‘Hehe,’ and ‘asdfg’

EFF analysis found police searched Flock's 19,000-camera ALPR network using joke reasons like 'LMAO' and 'idk,' exposing routine warrantless surveillance abuse.

An EFF analysis of Flock audit logs, shared with 404 Media, found officers across dozens of jurisdictions searching over 19,000 cameras in 1,558 cities with justifications like 'LMAO,' 'idk,' and keyboard gibberish between 2023 and late 2025. One Lake County, Indiana sheriff's deputy searched for a license plate across the entire network citing 'LMAO.' After outlets exposed searches targeting ICE detainees, an abortion patient, and protesters, officers were reportedly told to be 'as vague as permissible,' and Flock replaced the free-text reason box with a prepopulated drop-down list, which EFF called a loss for transparency. Departments rarely disciplined offending officers, and EFF concluded agencies cannot oversee themselves.
