The CVE and CWE programs are at risk of shutdown as MITRE's DHS contract expires on April 16, 2025, with no confirmed renewal. Without continued funding, the ability to standardize, track, and respond to software vulnerabilities could collapse, leaving the cybersecurity community scrambling in a fragmented and dangerously opaque environment. Forbes reports: "Failure to renew MITRE's contract for the CVE program, seemingly set to expire on April 16, 2025, risks significant disruption," said Jason Soroko, Senior Fellow at Sectigo. "A service break would likely degrade national vulnerability databases and advisories. This lapse could negatively affect tool vendors, incident response operations, and critical infrastructure broadly. MITRE emphasizes its continued commitment but warns of these potential impacts if the contracting pathway is not maintained." MITRE has indicated that historical CVE records will remain accessible via GitHub, but without continued funding, the operational side of the program -- including assignment of new CVEs -- will effectively go dark. That's not a minor inconvenience. It could upend how the global cybersecurity community identifies, communicates, and responds to new threats. [...] MITRE has said that discussions with the U.S. government are active and that it remains committed to the CVE mission. But with the expiration date looming, time is running short -- and the consequences of even a temporary gap are severe.

Limited Run Games is releasing physical editions of Doom and Doom II, including a $666 "Will it Run Edition" that features a literal game box capable of playing Doom. Engadget reports: It costs $666, which is a nod to the devilish source material, and is being kept to a limited run of 666 copies. It comes with the aforementioned screen-enabled game box that runs Doom, but that's just the beginning. The combo pack ships with the soundtrack on cassette, a certificate of authenticity and a trading card park with five cards. It comes with a couple of toys based on one of the franchise's most iconic enemies. There's a detailed three-inch Cacodemon that connects to a five-inch base, which looks pretty nifty. There's a smaller handheld Cacodemon that, you'll never guess, also runs Doom. This edition is available for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The PC version, however, ships with a download code and not physical copies of both games. Preorders start on April 18 and end on May 18, with a release sometime after that.

Offer is back again, updated with even better terms. Again available to existing customers depositing new funds!

Live Oak Bank is an FDIC-insured internet bank that is focused on lending to small businesses. Their personal savings account has a limited-time offer of a $300 bonus if you deposit $20,000+ in new funds into their online savings account by 5/16/25 via this special offer page and keep it there for 60 days. The current interest rate is 4.20% APY. Direct deposit is not required. Valid for both new and existing customers, as long as you are adding new money.

Selected fine print:

New and Existing Customers:

The promotion begins on April 14th, 2025.

Only one bonus is available per Tax Identification Number per promotional period.

Only personal savings accounts are eligible for the bonus offer. Checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CD) accounts and fiduciary accounts (e.g., trusts) are not eligible for this offer.

Opening of a new account will be subject to approval by Live Oak Banking Company in its sole discretion.

A new account must be opened between April 14, 2025 and May 16, 2025 to be eligible.

A new Live Oak Bank personal savings account must be fully funded with at least $20,000 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on 05/16/2025 to be eligible for the bonus.? If the account is not fully funded by May 16th, then the account is not eligible for the bonus offer.

All funding of the new personal savings account must consist of funds originating from an external financial institution to qualify; deposits or transfers originating from an existing Live Oak Bank account (whether personal or business) via internal transfer, CD redemption, check, ACH transfer, wire, or loan proceeds do not qualify for bonus offer.

Beginning on the date in April or May 2025 that the new account attains a balance of at least $20,000, if the balance remains equal to or exceeding $20,000 for 60 consecutive days, then the account will be eligible for the bonus if all other conditions are met. If all eligibility criteria are met, the $300 cash bonus will be deposited to your open, eligible account?within 45 days following the expiration of the 60-day period.

Your new account must not be closed or restricted at the time of payout in order to receive the bonus. Live Oak Bank reserves the right to withdraw or withhold the bonus offer from any customer, with or without notice, if fraud or other suspicious activity is suspected.

Any promotional amounts received may be subject to taxation.

Existing Customers:

In addition to the other requirements for the bonus offer, existing Live Oak Bank customers must maintain their existing account balances (not including interest accrued but not credited to the account) at or above the end of day balance as of April 13th 2025 11:59:59pm (ET) across their existing personal savings in order to be eligible for the bonus offer.

Bonus math. This is a 1.5% bonus on $20,000 if you keep it there for 60 days, which makes it the equivalent of 9.00% APY annualized. Bonus will be paid around Day 105 and the account must be open at that time, but you only need to maintain full balance through Day 60. The bonus is on top of the standard interest rate, currently a competitive 4.20% APY as of 4/15/25.

This equivalent of roughly 13.20% total APY over 60 days makes it a solid offer for those with compatible balances looking for short-term place to hold their cash for a few months. Live Oak Bank seems to come and go with the competitiveness of their rates, but it’s nice that this is available to existing customers.
