Meta draws closer to completing its purchase of Within, the creator of the popular VR-workout app Supernatural.

FTC has argued the acquisition would help Meta create a monopoly in the emerging virtual-reality market.

A little more than a year ago, Meta pivoted to aggressively pursuing a strategy designed to transform the company known for operating successful social media platforms into an architect of the budding metaverse, an immersive world that is imagined to involve a mix of virtual, augmented and mixed reality.

Like it has in the past with companies like WhatsApp, Meta is trying to compensate for its struggles by acquiring smaller companies that possess valuable technology.

The Meta Quest Pro is $400 off this weekIt now costs as much as HTC’s Vive XR Elite. From the linked review, I'm sorry, but no one wants this at work. There is no reason for a 'professional' VR set right now. It's crazy that VR's best potential is to take people to incredible other worlds, and they focus on recreating the office 🙄

Meta’s Account Center came with a 2FA-defeating bugA researcher was able to brute force SMS codes. The authentication code having no limit of how many times it was entered seems to be a huge oversight by the Meta team. Brute force attacks are common amongst the 2FA breaches - thankfully this didn't get out in the wild. Thank you for the coverage 🙏
