Two staff members of the US Israeli Embassy left the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday night and were shot dead after spurring anger from US and Israeli officials. The 30-year-old man from Chicago, Illinois, was named Elias Rodriguez and was arrested in connection with the shooting, police said. He is the only suspect. President Donald Trump has accused the shooting of being “terrifying” and said there is no place for “hate” in the United States. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was “devastated” by what he deployed in the US capital. “This is a sleazy act of anti-Semitic…

The vast operations carried out by a consortium of global law enforcement and private sector companies disrupt the online infrastructure associated with the product information steeler known as Lumma (also known as Lummac or Lummac2), seized 2,300 domains operating from a window infected with Command and Control (C2). “Malware like LUMMAC2 is deployed to steal sensitive information such as user login credentials from millions of victims, and to promote many crimes, including fraudulent bank transfers and cryptocurrency theft,” the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a statement. Forbidden infrastructure is used by millions of targets worldwide through affiliate marketing…

The groundbreaking study of the University of Greenwich and international collaborators proposes the best policy roadmap to revolutionize the EU’s plastic recycling capabilities, and uses cutting-edge system dynamics modeling to mitigate environmental and supply chain risks. Amid growing global concerns about climate change and material scarcity, the European Union faces tough challenges. Although it produces more than 89 million tons of packaging waste each year, domestic recycling capacity is dramatically delayed, with over 10 million tons of disposal possible. Decades relying on exporting waste to countries such as China, Malaysia and Vietnam collapsed in 2018 due to the imposition of…

From rare Maltem Senger events to large-scale statistical methods, observations of gravitational waves pave the way for a deeper understanding of the universe. Professor Archisman Ghosh is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Ghent University. He specializes in Gravitational Wave (GW) data analysis, focusing on research that focuses on discovering insights into fundamental physics and cosmology from GW observations. His work spans current detectors such as the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra (LVK) network and next-generation observatory such as the Einstein telescope and the space explorer. In recent years, Professor Ghosh and his research group have been investigating how…

Rebecca Emmerton, a climate scientist at Copernicus Climate Change Services (C3S), discusses the results of a recently published report on European Climate Conditions (ESOTC) and its impact on the European climate environment. As climate change accelerates, understanding the impacts of a region has become more urgent than ever. In Europe, rising temperatures, extreme weather and changing climate patterns are changing ecosystems, economies and everyday life. Each year, the ESOTC report provides a comprehensive assessment of these changes, combining vast amounts of observational data with scientific expertise. The report, produced by C3S and the World Weather Organization (WMO), is an important…

Signal said today it updated its Windows app to prevent the system from capturing screenshots, thereby protecting the content on display. The company said this new “screen security” setting is enabled by default on Windows 11. Signal said the new feature was designed to protect user privacy from Microsoft’s recall feature announced last year. Recall continuously captures screenshots of the system and remembers all the activities, so you can scroll in time to remember what you’re looking at. The company paused its deployment of features after a backlash last year, but Microsoft began testing again in April via the Windows…

Last week, Moody’s downgraded its US credit rating due to concerns about a $36 trillion debt pile. The move could complicate President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut taxes through financial markets. Moody’s rating agency removed one US government credit score from the pristine AAA to AA1. It cited debt, interest rise and interest costs “are much higher than the sovereigns that are valued similarly.” Last week’s cuts followed a downgrade by rating rival Fitch, which reduced the US credit score by one notch in 2023. Fitch was the second major rating agency to strip the US from its AAA ratings…
