Dragos: Putting Operational Technology Risks in Perspective - Cyber Magazine

Saturday evenings spent wandering the aisles of a video rental store, searching for the perfect movie to accompany a cosy night in was a familiar ritual for generations of families from the mid-70s through to the early 2010s. These days, the ritual looks a little different, replaced by endless scrolling through streaming services, only to find something most in the room will watch with one eye, the other fixed on their phone.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos no longer has anything to say about the company's move into video games or podcasts. For years, Netflix has been telling investors how excited it is about its move into video games. More recently, it has also started talking up its move into podcasts. But when the company released its third-quarter earnings on Tuesday, the streamer had nothing to say about either foray. What does that mean? Netflix won't say. But I'm pretty comfortable coming up with my own conclusion: Netflix doesn't think games or podcasts are going to do much for its business, at least in the near future. That also tracks with new reporting from The Wall Street Journal, which says that Netflix has recently "stopped pushing games and podcasts, focusing more on its core movie and TV offerings. "That's logical, given the most pressing problem the company has: figuring out how to make movies and TV shows that attract new subscribers, and that get its existing subscribers to spend more time on the service. But it's also a real turnaround, at least in its messaging. Netflix has consistently talked up games since it launched that business in 2021.

A new report claims the Windows and Xbox teams have clashed over the direction of the OS for Microsoft's next-gen Xbox consoles.
