Deep dives
Israeli Attack: Horrific Violence and Tragedy Unfold
In the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel, shocking reports of violence and horrific crimes against women and children have emerged. Over 1,000 civilians have been slaughtered, with the majority being innocent civilians, including women and children. Israeli soldiers recaptured a town near the Gaza border and found dozens of victims, including 40 murdered children. The attack was well-coordinated, involving weaponized drones, bulldozing part of the fortified border wall, and even constructing a mock Israeli settlement in Gaza for training. As Israel ramps up its military response, including targeted artillery and airstrikes on Hamas strongholds, conflict continues to intensify.
US Border Threat: Record Number of Apprehended Terrorists
Under President Biden's administration, the potential threat of terrorists entering the United States through the southern border has significantly surged. Border enforcement has arrested 151 individuals included on the FBI's terror watchlist this fiscal year, compared to 15 in the previous year. Additionally, tens of thousands of immigrants from terrorism-plagued areas, such as Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Uzbekistan, have been apprehended attempting to cross illegally. Concerns are raised over the significant number of Godaways, individuals who went undetected, as well as the control drug cartels exert over sections of the border.
Data Breach: Millions of 23andMe Customer Personal Data Stolen
The biotech company, 23andMe, confirmed that a large-scale data breach occurred, affecting the personal data of millions of customers, specifically targeting Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish users. Although not classified as a breach of their system, hackers achieved unauthorized access by using recycled login credentials. The stolen data includes highly personal information, such as names, gender, location, genetic ancestry, and date of birth. The compromised information is being sold on the dark web, potentially allowing targeting of specific ethnic groups. This incident raises concerns about the security and privacy of genetic data, given its value and potential misuse.
