Published in a wired manner A shocking investigation this week was conducted on record of hundreds of emergency calls from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers, based on records including recordings. The calls include reports of employee sexual assaults, suicide attempts and head injuries, suggesting a system that is flooded with life-threatening events, delayed treatment and overcrowding.
In Friday’s 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Texas porn law, finding that age verification of clear locations is constitutional. In the objection, Judge Elena Kagan warned that the decision ignored First Amendment precedent and would have privacy implications for adults.
Donald Trump watched the United States bomb Iran’s nuclear site, and Donald Trump made the initial announcement of a strike on social network truth, which then began to suffer intermittent interruptions. The assessment of damage to the nuclear site was also evaluated based on satellite photos taken before and after the bombing.
Meanwhile, as drones become increasingly a key weapon of war, Taiwan is fighting for its own driverless cars. The urgency is because the potential conflict with China is imminent. Telegraph launched the Chinese cryptocurrency market last month, banning the black market from selling tens of billions of dollars in services related to crypto-related businesses. But now, the market is rebranding and bounced, without further action from the communications platform.

404 media reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is now using a mobile app called Mobile Fortify, which is said to allow agents to either point their smartphones to their faces or capture contactless fingerprints, which is 404 media reports. The application reportedly involved government databases, including traveler verification services for customs and border protection measures and DHS biometric intelligence systems, in an attempt to match facial images taken on site with records collected by previous governments. The tool is designed to help officials identify “unknown topics,” but advocates of civil liberties told 404 media that it could open the door for surveillance-driven analysis and improper arrests, ICE said.
Nathan Freed Wessler of ACLU told the website: “Face recognition technology is unreliable, often produces false matches and leads to many known false arrests. Immigration agents rely on this technology to try to identify people on the streets is complementary to the disaster. Congress has never authorized DHS to use this dangerous experiment in this way, and the dangerous experiment ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””’
Global law enforcement announced this week a depression of a group of alleged cybercrime hackers accused of years of profit-making data breaches and hosted a notorious cybercrime forum and a market called Breachforums. French authorities arrested four members who arrested the group under the names of “Shinyhunters”, “Hollow”, “Noct” and “Descressed”, although police sources who shared the news with French newspaper Le Parisien did not disclose the suspect’s real name. Meanwhile, Kai West, a young British man in charge of the U.S. Department of Justice, conducted a years-long hacking craze under the “Intelbroker” handle, causing $25 million in total to the victims before being arrested in February. In addition to hacking and selling a large amount of stolen data, the group (or at least a portion of its members) presented administrators who served as administrators of Breachforums, a notorious cybercriminal information and tool used to shut down in the 2023 law enforcement action, but was later rebooted by its employees.
The loose cybercrime gang known as scattered spiders have been targeting the grocery industry, other retailers, and the insurance industry in the United States and the United Kingdom for years. Now, cybersecurity analysts at Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks say the group will turn its attention to the aviation and transportation sectors. Specifically, last week’s cybersecurity incident was behind hackers, which destroyed some IT systems and mobile apps from Air Canada Westjet. Now, Hawaiian Airlines says it is experiencing “cybersecurity incidents” that affect its network, although no further details or any evidence of liability for spiders. Cybersecurity companies tracking the group warn that other potential aviation and transportation industries should be a focus on the group, which often uses complex social engineering to trick employees into allowing them to bypass multi-factor authentication and gain a foothold on the target system.
Here is the curiosity we missed a few weeks ago: a rare industrial control system hijacking incident in which an unknown hacker appears to be in a mess with the computer system controlling the Risevatnet dam in southwestern Norway, opening the valve to the maximum environment. Tampering, the motivation for not yet known, increased the dam’s current by nearly 500 liters per second, but it was not close to dangerous levels. No one seems to have noticed the change for nearly four hours. Officials told Norwegian energy news media EnergiteKnikk that this breaks the story, a weak password on the control panel that has access to the network allows unauthorized access.
