Rank 18007It's a lot of pressure to be one of the reigning best streaming services, but that never phases Netflix. When it comes to the new Netflix titles for June 2025, there are many reasons to get excited, too.Leading the charge is one of the best Netflix shows ever made – that being, Squid Game. All episodes of Squid Game season 3 come to Netflix on June 27, which not only marks the conclusion of the incredibly popular survival drama, but also means it's a shoo-in to be one of the most-watched shows of the month.There are plenty of new Netflix movies up the streaming giant's sleeve as well. Indeed, it's packed a large number of classic horror movies into its line-up for the month, including The Birds (1963), and modern thrillers in Us (2019) and Barbarian (2022).There's plenty more where that came from, so read on to see what else is launching on the platform between June 1 and June 30.Everything new on Netflix in June 2025Arriving on June 1 The American (movie)Barbarian (movie)Bee Movie (movie)The Birds (movie)The Blues Brothers (movie)The Devil's Own (movie)Dune (1984) (movie)The Equalizer (movie)Family Plot (movie)Focus (movie)Frenzy (movie)The Great Outdoors (movie)Hitchcock (movie)Hop (movie)The Legend of Zorro (movie)The Man Who Knew Too Much (movie)Neighbors (movie)Now You See Me (movie)Now You See Me 2 (movie)The Nutty Professor (movie)Pokémon The Series: XY (TV show)Pokémon The Series: XY: XY: Kalos Quest (TV show)Pokémon The Series: XY: XYZ (TV show)Rear Window (movie)The Theory of Everything (movie)The Town (movie)U-571 (movie)Us (movie)Vertigo (movie)Arriving on June 3Sara - Woman in the Shadows (Netflix original series)Arriving on June 4Criminal Code season 2 (Netflix original series)Eva Lasting season 3 (Netflix original series)Power Moves with Shaquille O'Neal (Netflix original series)Arriving on June 5Barracuda Queens season 2 (Netflix original series)Ginny & Georgia season 3 (Netflix original series)Tires season 2 (Netflix original series)Arriving on June 6K.O.

Rank 18012Trend Micro saw a new malware campaign on TikTokThe videos demonstrate how to activate "premium" features in different softwareThe clips were AI-generated and trick the victims into downloading infostealersHackers are posting AI-generated videos on TikTok to trick users into downloading infostealing malware, cybersecurity researchers Trend Micro have warned.The premise is simple: the attackers use AI to generate numerous videos demonstrating how to easily “activate” Windows and Microsoft Office, or enable “premium features” in apps such as Spotify or CapCut.They then share these videos on TikTok, whose algorithm makes it more likely to turn the video viral, making the success of the attack more likely.Get Keeper Personal for just $1.67/month, Keeper Family for just $3.54/month, and Keeper Business for just $7/monthKeeper is a cybersecurity platform primarily known for its password manager and digital vault, designed to help individuals, families, and businesses securely store and manage passwords, sensitive files, and other private data. It uses zero-knowledge encryption and offers features like two-factor authentication, dark web monitoring, secure file storage, and breach alerts to protect against cyber threats.Preferred partner (What does this mean?)View DealA new spin on old tricksIn the clip, a person is shown bringing up the Run program on Windows, and then executing a PowerShell command.While in the video the command results in the activation of special features, in reality, users running the command would download a malicious script which, in turn, deploys Vidar and StealC infostealers.These infostealers can take screenshots, steal login credentials, grab credit card data, exfiltrate cookies, cryptocurrency wallet information, 2FA codes, and more."This attack uses videos (possibly AI-generated) to instruct users to execute PowerShell commands, which are disguised as software activation steps. TikTok's algorithmic reach increases the likelihood of widespread exposure, with one video reaching more than half a million views," Trend Micro said."The videos are highly similar, with only minor differences in camera angles and the download URLs used by PowerShell to fetch the payload," the researchers added."These suggest that the videos were likely created through automation. The instructional voice also appears AI-generated, reinforcing the likelihood that AI tools are being used to produce these videos."One of the videos has roughly 500,000 views, more than 20,000 likes, and more than 100 comments, making it quite successful.Videos were being used to deliver malware in the past, too, but this new campaign is a significant departure from earlier methods.The difference is that before, the link to the malware was shared in the video’s description, or comment, where it could still be picked up by security solutions. By delivering the bait in a video format, the attackers successfully bypass almost all security measures.Via BleepingComputerYou might also likeYouTubers targeted by blackmail campaign to promote malware on their channelsTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers

Rank 18024The Last of Us season 3: key information- Officially announced in April 2025- No release date or trailer revealed yet- Filming yet to get underway- Most of the main cast expected to return- One actor has surprisingly said they won't be back for season 3- No story synopsis unveiled- The Last of Us Part II video game offers some clues about its plot- A fourth and final season could wrap up the storyThe Last of Us season 3 is officially in the works at HBO. The incredibly popular TV adaptation was renewed for a third season in April 2025, so we'll be treated to another season of The Last of Us TV show sometime soon.While we wait for it, there's plenty to keep you occupied. Below, I've covered what we know about The Last of Us' third season so far, including its likely cast and story specifics. I'll also offer my prediction on its launch date and discuss whether a fourth season will be needed to tell the full story depicted in The Last of Us Part II, aka the game on which seasons 2 and 3 are based.Full spoilers follow for The Last of Us season 2 and the second entry in Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic video game franchise, so proceed at your own risk.The Last of Us season 3 release date: what we knowIt can’t be for nothing. Season 3 is coming. #TheLastOfUs pic.twitter.com/q5HxyvK9O6April 9, 2025As of May 2025, The Last of Us season 3 doesn't have a confirmed release date. Considering the critically-acclaimed HBO TV Original's next season hasn't started filming yet, that isn't a huge shock.However, I wouldn't be surprised if plenty of pre-production work has already been done. Script work, location scouting, lining up a filming schedule, and many other developmental details have likely been ongoing for months. If they have, I'd be amazed if principal photography doesn't begin in earnest before 2025 ends.What would that mean for season 3's eventual launch? I think a mid-2027 release is most likely. Season 2 made its debut just over two years after its predecessor ended, so if the series maintains that development trajectory, a June or July 2027 arrival for season 3 isn't out of the question.The Last of Us season 3 trailer: is there one?We're desperate to see a trailer but, unlike Abby, we won't hold anyone at gunpoint for one! (Image credit: HBO)No. As I said, principal photography hasn't started yet, and even when it gets underway, it'll be a long time before a trailer is released. Once one is, I'll update this section.The Last of Us season 3 rumored castI expect Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced to reprise their roles as Ellie and Dina in season 3 (Image credit: Liane Hentscher/HBO)Big spoilers immediately follow for The Last of Us season 2.Based on how last season ended, here are the actors (and the characters they portray) I expect to see again in The Last of Us season 3:Bella Ramsey as EllieGabriel Luna as TommyIsabela Merced as DinaYoung Mazino as JesseKaitlyn Dever as AbbyDanny Ramirez as MannySpencer Lord as OwenTati Gabrielle as NoraAriela Barer as MelRutina Wesley as MariaJeffrey Wright as IsaacCatherine O'Hara as GailRobert John Burke as SethYou might be surprised to see Mazino, Lord, and Barer's names among that contingent. After all, their characters – Jess, Owen, and Mel – died in the season 2 finale.However, with season 3's early episodes set to jump back in time (read more about this in the story section below), this trio won't have met their demise when the Max show's third season premieres. The same can be said of Gabrielle's Nora, who'll still be alive during the period to be revisited in season 3's opening chapters.Unless Joel similarly returns in flashback sequences, we definitely won't see Pedro Pascal again. Joel met his end in The Last of Us season 2 episode 2, and, while Pascal reprised his role in last season's sixth episode, that entry depicted the five years between the end of season 1 and the start of season 2. So, don't bet on the fan-favorite actor returning as Joel once more.There's also the potential for other surprising omissions. Speaking to Variety, O'Hara said she's been told her character, Gail, won't appear in season 3, as it's not likely to spend much time in Jackson, Wyoming, aka the town where Ellie and many of the show's characters live. If Gail doesn't appear, other supporting characters, including Seth and Maria, may not do so, either.As for newcomers to the series, there are a couple of key characters in The Last of Us Part II who didn't appear in season 2. I won't spoil who they are, but given their importance to the story that'll be told in season 3, you can expect cast announcements about this pair to be made in due course.The Last of Us season 3 story speculationDon't mind Ellie , she's just taking a quick peek at what's to come in season 3 (Image credit: Liane Hentscher/HBO)Full spoilers immediately follow for The Last of Us season 2 and The Last of Us Part II.The Last of Us season 3 doesn't have a story synopsis yet. However, based on how its forebear ended – read my article explaining The Last of Us season 2's ending for more on what happened – and The Last of Us Part II's story, we have a good idea of how things will pan out.As I mention in my ending explainer, season 3 will shift into reverse gear and head back in time 72 hours to the period before and during its predecessor's finale. That's because season 2's final episode ends with a scene starring Abby, which takes place three days prior to her single-handedly storming the Seattle theater where Ellie and company are holed up in the seventh episode.Season 2's final shot confirms we'll jump back in time in its follow-up season (Image credit: HBO)For those who haven't played The Last of Us Part II, Abby is not only the deuteragonist of that story, but also a player-controlled character for around half of the game's total playtime. Events centered around Abby are integral to telling Part II's full story.What does that mean for The Last of Us season 3? It'll be Abby-centric, with its opening chapters likely showing us what Abby was up to before Ellie and Dina arrive in Seattle, and then where Abby is during this three-day period.Part II does this, so there's no reason to suspect HBO's live-action retelling won't take a similar storytelling approach. That being, showing Abby's side of the Seattle-based story, which runs parallel to Ellie and Dina's, before season 2 episode 7's shocking penultimate scene brings them together.As for what Abby's side of the story entails, I won't spoil anything significant here. But, considering there are a lot of unanswered questions – not to mention narrative gaps that need filling in regarding Abby, her friends, the Seraphites, and the Washington Liberation Front – from season 2, its follow-up has some heavy lifting to do from a narrative standpoint.Abby's perspective of season 2's Seattle-based events should be depicted throughout season 3 (Image credit: HBO)Thankfully, it sounds like there'll be more time to cover all of the above. Interviewed by Collider in May, co-showrunner and executive producer Craig Mazin said: "I think there’s a decent chance that season 3 will be longer than season 2, just because the manner of that narrative and the opportunities it affords us are a little different."Of course, that could mean one of the best Max shows' third season only has one more entry (eight) than its predecessor did (seven). Some fans were a little frustrated that season 2 was shorter than the show's debut outing, so an installment with more chapters should appease them. Season 2 included plenty of brand-new material that wasn't seen in the games, too, so season 3 could be approached in the same way and, by proxy, have a higher episode count.Where can I watch The Last of Us' first two seasons?If you want, you can relive Jesse's shocking death again and again on various streaming platforms (Image credit: HBO)Depending on where you live, The Last of Us' first two seasons are available to stream on different platforms.In the US, you can watch it on the cable network HBO as well as Max, aka one of the world's best streaming services. Those of you who aren't subscribed to the streamer should read our Max price guide to see how much it costs to sign up and our Max free trial article to learn if you can try it before you buy.Meanwhile, UK audiences can catch it on Sky Atlantic and Now TV. Australian viewers can also tune into Max to watch both seasons, but if you're not signed up to Warner Bros. Discovery's super streamer, you can also catch it on Foxtel.Will The Last of Us end with its third season?We won't evoke our inner Isaac and torture people for information on whether a fourth season will be made, either! (Image credit: HBO)It's not been officially confirmed yet, but The Last of Us season 3 isn't expected to be the final installment.The Last of Us seasons 2 and 3 were supposed to tell the full story depicted in The Last of Us Part II. But, speaking in February, HBO TV chief Francesca Orsi indicated that HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us could run for four seasons.In the same Collider article I linked to in this guide's plot section, Mazin also remarked that "there’s no way to complete this narrative in a third season. Hopefully, we’ll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth". It sounds like another season could be in the offing after the show's third entry, then.Fans will be hoping that they see Tommy again in season 3 and, potentially, a sequel season (Image credit: Liane Hentscher/HBO)But how will Mazin and company stretch out The Last of Us Part II's story across three seasons Initially, I suspected that, if The Last of Us Part II's story was wrapped up in season 3, a fourth and final season might include plot elements that Naughty Dog may have been considering for The Last of Us Part III. Right now, a third entry in Naughty Dog's incredibly popular video game franchise hasn't been announced. Naughty Dog president Neil Druckmann has also said fans shouldn't "bet on there being more" – i.e. the continuation of Ellie's story in another game – anytime soon.Druckmann and his inner circle are the only ones who know if more than a story concept was ever devised for Part III. Nonetheless, if a third game isn't going to be made, there's no reason why its plot elements can't be fleshed out and depicted in HBO's TV adaptation instead.That said, speaking on episode 457 of the Sacred Symbols podcast, Druckmann indicated that, if a fourth season is greenlit, it'll simply wrap up the story told in Part II. The potential inclusion of brand-new material set during events of that game (and, by proxy, its TV adaptation) aside, then, don't expect a possible fourth season to contain post-Part II narrative beats.For more Max TV show-based coverage, check out our guides on House of the Dragon season 3, Peacemaker season 2, Creature Commandos season 2, and The White Lotus season 4.

Rank 18030Apple's AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation (ANC) just became an even more enticing proposition for those who have been on the fence about picking up a pair. They have dropped to $149, which is $30 off the regular price. That's only about $10 more than the record low and the lowest price we've seen for the AirPods 4 with ANC so far this year.
If ANC isn't such a big deal for you (perhaps, like me, you tend to only wear one earbud at a time), you can snap up a set of AirPods 4 without ANC instead. Those will currently run you $119, a discount of $10.
We gave the AirPods 4 with ANC a score of 86 in our review. Apple improved the audio quality compared with the previous version, and the earbuds have a better fit than the AirPods 3. We felt that the ANC was pretty effective too. However, the lack of onboard volume controls remains a disappointment.
The AirPods 4 use the same H2 chip as the AirPods Pro 2, meaning they share some features with the higher-end model. They support Voice Isolation, Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, Personalized Volume and Adaptive EQ. The ANC-enabled model also has Conversation Awareness, Adaptive Audio and Transparency mode. In addition, the charging case that comes with the ANC version has Qi-compatible wireless charging, as well as a built-in speaker for Find My. However, the AirPods Pro 2's advanced hearing health features aren't present here.
