GTA 6 hacker/leaker arrested, NASA DART spacecraft to strike asteroid tonight, Rihanna to headline Super Bowl, Egyptian archaeologists test DNA to see if mummies are Queen Nefertiti & wife of Tut, and more news.
After one of the biggest and most shocking leaks in gaming history, a 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of hacking. The teen is believed to be the person behind last week’s leak of Grand Theft Auto 6. The teenager resides in the UK, and because of being a minor, is only being identified as A.K. The teenager was “arrested in Oxfordshire for the cyber attack on Rockstar and Uber,” Games Radar reported.
The breach resulted in an online leak of over 90 GTA 6 videos and screens.
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is hurtling toward the asteroid Didymos and its moon Dimorphos. The craft is scheduled to reach its target tonight (September 26) at roughly 7:14 PM EDT and is expected to crash into the moonlet of the asteroid in an attempt to alter its trajectory, testing the theory as to whether this technique could be used in the future to divert an asteroid that could strike Earth, space.com reported.
The NFL announced on Sunday that Rihanna will be the headlining performer for the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, with a photo of her holding the football with no caption. Super Bowl LVII (57) is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, CBSSports.
Archaeologists found two mummies in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings that could have historical significance. They suspect the remains are Egyptian Queen Nefertiti and Ankhesenamun, the wife of Tutankhamun. DNA samples are now being tested to confirm whether or not the remains are the Ancient Egyptian queens, the Daily Mail reported. Nefertiti ruled Egypt between 1370 to 1330 BC alongside Pharaoh Akhenaten.
A North Carolina woman decided to take perhaps one of the most creative and novel approaches in job-seeking history in order to capture the attention of hiring managers at Nike. Karly Pavlinac Blackburn, 27, found out there was going to be a party at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, Today reports. She had her résumé printed on a cake and had it delivered to the party. She had to figure out the maze of navigating the large campus to ensure the complex delivery when off as planned. The story has gone viral on LinkedIn, and other companies became interested as well. Blackburn says she has a few meetings next week.
