Jinwoo's McEgg to Maomao's oatmeal: McDonald's reveals 10 anime characters' go-to morning meals
Popular fast food chain McDonald's didn't just flip its golden arches into a 'W' to officially drop its manga-inspired 'WcDonald's' menu, it made what anime fans have been obsessing over for years, finally real. We've seen it a dozen times in anime: characters gulping down oversized meals, usually right before a big showdown. To answer this, starting February 26, 2024, select outlets welcomed the name change as part of a full-on campaign. And then, during the 2025 Anime Awards, McDonald's levelled up their game, revealing what 10 iconic anime characters would order for breakfast if they walked into a real store. Also read: Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, and more anime targeted by cybercriminals: Kaspersky report Senior Marketing Director Guillaume Huin dropped individual posts of anime's biggest foodie crossover to celebrate award wins. Each one came with an animated shot of the classic fast-food bag and a label showing a different character's order, waiting to grab their meal at the table. One Piece character Luffy went for a steak, egg, and cheese bagel. For a guy who pulls off god-tier stunts, the pick felt underwhelming. But then he added extra steak, bacon, and sausage, still not nearly enough to match that buffed-up physique. Fans were quick to point out this is the same guy who clears an entire fridge in one go and is a big meat lover. A post shared by McDonald's (@mcdonalds) Also read: What is Frieren? Highest-rated anime that beat Solo Leveling, Dandadan with 29 Crunchyroll nods in 2025 Guillaume explained that the idea was very last minute, and 'This campaign was made to celebrate the Anime Awards. Each McDonald's breakfast order and design was thought out based on the personality of the character. The concept of WcDonald's started back in 1983 in an anime called Cat's Eye, and ever since, hundreds of anime shows and movies have used the name, some like Cowboy Bebop, InuYasha, Sally the Witch. Later, when the food brand officially collaborated, they rolled out manga/anime-inspired packaging, a new limited-edition sauce, promotional posters, anime-style episodes/shorts, etc.

Netflix password at risk? New report says millions of accounts hacked
When was the last time you changed your Netflix account password or replaced your credentials for Disney+ or Amazon Prime video? Perhaps it is time to revisit the privacy's page to make these changes. In a recent report, Kaspersky, the global cybersecurity and anti-virus company, said that it identified over seven million compromised accounts belonging to various popular streaming services. "These weren't stolen directly from the platforms themselves but were collected as part of broader credential theft campaign s," the company clarified though. The Moscow-based company's Digital Footprint Intelligence team uncovered a total of 7,035,236 breaching cases in 2024. Among those there are 5,632,694 compromised Netflix accounts. Brazil had the highest number of exposed Netflix credentials, followed by Mexico and India, the report went on to say. Netflix Mena did not immediately respond to requests for comment when contacted by Khaleej Times. As of December 2024, Netflix had approximately three million subscribers in the Middle East and North Africa region. As for Disney+, experts detected 680,850 Disney+ accounts in leaked datasets and Brazil again topped the list of affected countries, followed by Mexico and Germany. Subscribers of Amazon Prime Video also fell victim to this hacking scheme, though smaller in volume with 1,607 compromised accounts. The top three countries with compromised accounts on the streaming service were Mexico, Brazil, and France. "As streaming platforms, fandom culture, and social media become deeply woven into Gen-Z's everyday experience, cyberthreats are adapting to target the spaces they trust most", Kaspersky said. Kaspersky safety tips If you feel your account has been compromised, change passwords for the potentially compromised credentials and ensure there has been no suspicious activity associated with these accounts. Always use a legitimate, paid subscription when accessing streaming services and ensure you're using apps from official marketplaces or the official websites. Stick to trusted, official pages when watching or downloading content and double-check URLs and company name spellings to avoid phishing sites. Be cautious about the file extensions you're downloading. Video files should not have .exe or .msi extensions — these are typically associated with harmful programs.

NACSA, Kaspersky release Malay online safety book for kids
PETALING JAYA: In an effort to raise online safety awareness among children, the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), in collaboration with global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky, today launched the Malay-language edition of the book Midori Kuma and a Very Special Race. NACSA chief executive Dr Megat Zuhairy Megat Tajuddin said the translation marks a significant step in cultivating cybersecurity awareness from an early age, in line with efforts to educate a digital-native generation increasingly exposed to online risks. 'Statistics show that nearly 60 to 70 percent of children today spend more than three hours online daily. This increases their vulnerability to threats such as online grooming, which is becoming a growing concern in our country. 'For instance, in online games, children may unknowingly engage with individuals they believe to be peers, when in fact they may be impersonators with malicious intent seeking to obtain personal information such as location, passwords and more,' he said. Dr Megat Zuhairy was speaking at the launch of Midori Kuma dan Perlumbaan Yang Sangat Istimewa, the Malay-language version of the children's educational book, at the Petaling Jaya Community Library today. Also present at the event were Kaspersky's head of Government Affairs and Public Policy for Asia Pacific, Heng Lee; Petaling Jaya City Council legal officer, Mohd Yusof Che Aziz; and Petaling Jaya Community Library senior assistant director II (Knowledge Resources) Zainal Abidin Rahim. Megat Zuhairy said the storytelling approach used in Midori Kuma helps convey cybersecurity messages in a way that is accessible and effective not only for children but also for parents, teachers and the wider community. Meanwhile, Heng Lee said the book is more than just a children's title; it forms part of a broader Kaspersky-led initiative across the region to equip children with the knowledge they need to grow up in a safe, informed and resilient digital environment. 'Children today are growing up as digital natives, instinctively curious and constantly connected. They need the right guidance to navigate this universe of possibilities,' he said. He also cited Kaspersky's Digital Habits Report, which found that 61 percent of children receive their first digital device between the ages of eight and 12, while 11 percent are introduced to such devices even earlier. Heng added that the data highlights the importance of building healthy digital habits from a young age, and this book provides a simple yet meaningful way for parents and children to learn about online safety together.
