After news came out that one of the fundamental technologies powering the web was compromised, the internet, for a brief moment, ground to a halt. Almost every major company announced immediate emergency maintenance to patch a newly-discovered PHP exploit that could allow hackers to execute code on any website running this code-base (estimated to power roughly 70 percent of the internet). Almost 24 hours later, many sites and services are back online. In Japan, however, some services running on older, depreciated software are finding the task of updating these outdated systems impossible, forcing them into permanent, immediate closure. Two of the oldest mobile games still online will now be forced to permanently shutter operations because the older technology powering these services is unable to be updated to address the exploit. One is World Quest, which first launched on the Japanese mobile service GREE in 2011 as a social travel game where players could create their own avatars and virtually visit various countries and landmarks via their phones.

At 30, she's built a career across film and television, appearing in franchises like Super Mario and Mad Max, along with winning a Golden Globe for her role in The Queen’s Gambit. Earlier this year, she starred in the Apple TV series Lucky and will also play a major role in the cinematic event that is Dune: Part Three.
