Minecraft fans are convinced that Mojang has accidentally leaked its next Live event date, but don’t get your hopes up – it looks like it might actually be the remains of an old typo

Mojang announced a shift to hosting two annual Minecraft Live showcases, with the next event speculated to occur on September 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, according to a detail found on the Spanish Minecraft Live webpage. However, skepticism exists regarding this date due to its prior archiving and the fact that it falls on a Monday, unlike previous events. The webpage has since been updated to reflect the March date. Additionally, the founder of the Hypixel Minecraft server revealed that 1.1 billion Minecraft accounts have engaged with their platform over the past 13 years.

Hundreds of Minecraft mods on GitHub are infested with hard-to-spot spyware

A sophisticated malware campaign known as the “Stargazers Ghost” network is targeting young gamers, particularly those playing Minecraft, to capture sensitive login information and personal data. This operation, based in a Russian-speaking region, uses a two-pronged approach: initially acquiring login credentials and then extracting more extensive personal information, including passwords and cryptocurrency details. The malware has infiltrated over 500 GitHub repositories, disguising itself within Minecraft Java installers to evade antivirus protections. GitHub, while monitoring for malicious content, faces challenges due to the volume of attacks. To enhance safety, parents are advised to vet GitHub pages, test mods on a “burner” account, and restrict access to official mods in the “Bedrock Edition” of the game.
