Disney and Sony have inked a new deal that will give streaming and TV rights for Sony Pictures' new releases--including movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home --to Disney's many streaming and linear services. It's complicated, so buckle in. The streaming deal includes Sony's new theatrical releases between 2022 and 2026 as well as titles from Sony's existing library, with releases heading to Disney+, Hulu, ABC, Disney Channels, Freeform, FX, and National Geographic as appropriate. In the press release, Sony specifically calls out its Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters films, which would include any Spider-Man films, as well as spin-off characters like Venom , Morbius , and Kraven --not to mention Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its upcoming sequel .

Ransomware group demands $50M for stolen Apple schematics
A ransomware group called REvil has threatened to publish "large quantities of confidential drawings and gigabytes of personal data" stolen from a Taiwanese laptop manufacturer, including designs for several Apple laptops. According to a report at The Record , REvil has asked for $50 million as ransom for the stolen files. REvil posted screenshots of Apple's MacBooks on a dark web portal on Wednesday, along with a demand for Apple to pay for the return of the confidential files. According to the post, REvil got the materials from Quanta Computer , a large manufacturer of laptops for Apple and other tech companies, including Lenovo and HP.

The post threatens to publish more of Apple's files daily until the ransom is paid. Quanta … [Read more...] about Ransomware group demands $50M for stolen Apple schematics
