Cybersecurity risks have been highlighted in a popular AI coding platform, while a game developer announced layoffs just two weeks after its game's release. Meanwhile, travel bookings are up due to the rainy weather, Tesco plans to offer Clubcards to under-18s, and emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein requested hidden cameras be installed in his Florida home.
According to a BBC Technology report, the AI coding platform Orchids, a "vibe-coding" tool that allows users to build apps and games with text prompts, has a significant cybersecurity flaw. A BBC reporter was able to hack the platform, demonstrating the risks of allowing AI bots deep access to computers.
In the gaming world, Wildlight Entertainment, the developer of the multiplayer shooter Highguard, laid off staff just two weeks after the game's release, as reported by BBC Newsbeat. Highguard, which was featured at The Game Awards, struggled to retain players after its January launch. The development team included veterans from successful titles like Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and Titanfall.
The travel industry is seeing a boost in bookings. A BBC Business report indicated that February half-term holiday bookings have increased by 9% compared to last year, with travel agents attributing the rise to weeks of rain and the political environment. Manchester Airport is expecting its busiest February half-term on record, with almost 50,000 passengers flying out on Friday. Jet2 also reported a rise in bookings. However, travelers heading to Europe are warned of potential security delays due to the rollout of the European Entry Exit System.
Tesco announced plans to make its Clubcard available to under-18s this year, as stated in a BBC Business report. The supermarket's loyalty scheme offers discounts and points that can be converted into vouchers. Tesco did not specify the reasons for the expansion or how it would work. This follows campaigning from Which? urging supermarkets to broaden access to loyalty schemes.
Sky News reported that emails from 2014 revealed that Jeffrey Epstein asked a staff member to install hidden video cameras at his Florida home in Palm Beach. The aide planned to hide the cameras in tissue boxes. The emails were part of millions of documents released by the US Department of Justice last month.
