一 | 8 月 26 日消息,消息源 HardwareSteam 发文,透露V社目前正在向 VR 游戏开发者发送邀请邮件,询问他们是否愿意参加即将举行的 Steam VR 促销活动,并为旗下作品提供折扣。注意到,相应邮件显示 Steam VR 促销活动计划于 9 月 14 日至 9 月 21 日举行。 The Department of Homeland Security is telling state and local governments to update software and beef up security around devices connected to the nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS). The recommendation comes days after security researcher Ken Pyle revealed vulnerabilities in devices used by officials to encode EAS alerts.,Pyle told KerbsOnSecurity that he first discovered the vulnerabilities in 2019 after buying old EAS equipment on eBay. He quickly found the vulnerabilities and alerted the FBI, DHS, and the manufacturer of the devices. Pyle decided to give the manufacturer and government time to address the issue before going public.,DHS Inspector General Overseeing Jan.6 Secret Service Probe Previously Misled Investigators: Report4 August, 12:27 GMT,He started to worry after the Jan 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol, fearing that the vulnerabilities could be used “to start a civil war.”,That is because despite a patch being issued in 2019, many of the devices have not been updated either because they are too old for the new firmware or because of simple neglect by the operators. Pyle also says that many operators do not perform basic security measures recommended by the manufacturer, like changing the default password and putting the devices behind a firewall.,This is a problem because of the way EAS messages are distributed. There is no central authority and the process is automated in most cases. This means that someone could issue an alert locally and as long as it is accepted as a real EAS alert, it could spread nationwide.,“These devices are designed such that someone locally can issue an alert, but there’s no central control over whether I am the one person who can send or whatever,” Pyle told KerbsOnSecurity. “If you are a local operator, you can send out nationwide alerts. That’s how easy it is to do this.”,One device obtained by Pyle was a non-functional EAS device, purchased from an electronics recycling company. While the device no longer operated, the person who discarded it and the recycling company neglected to wipe the hard drive, giving Pyle access to cryptographic keys allowing him to broadcast messages on Comcast’s network, the third largest cable company in the US.,Comcast told KerbsOnSecurity in a statement that the EAS was lost by a third-party shipper and that the keys and credentials found on the device will no longer work on their system. They also thanked Pyle for his research and for informing them about the issue.,EAS vulnerabilities have been exploited in the past. In 2013, someone hacked the EAS networks in Great Falls, Montana, and Marquette, Michigan, using their access to issue an alert saying that zombies are rising from their graves. That same prank was repeated in Indiana in 2017. There have been other incidents, though they did not include zombies.。值得注意的是,V社此前公布的《Steam 2026 年促销与活动日程》中并未列出这项活动。许多玩家原本预计V社会在 8 月 24 日公司成立 30 周年之际公布 Steam Frame 的售价和上市日期,但最终并未等到相关消息。

二 | 不过,随着如今 Steam VR 促销活动曝光,Steam Frame 似乎距离正式上市已经不远。目前有玩家猜测,Steam Frame 可能会在 9 月 14 日之前上市,这样新用户就能趁促销期间购买兼容的 VR 游戏,并在新设备上直接体验。

三 | 对于 Valve 而言,在一场专门面向 VR 游戏的促销活动之前推出硬件,也不失为一种合适的宣传方式。
