Melina Abdullah first came across my radar in the spring of 2016, as Donald Trump closed in on the Republican nomination for president. Back then, Abdullah was a garden-variety faculty-lounge radical who spent too much time on Facebook. Now, she’s vying for the vice presidency on a third-party ticket with Cornel West.

We’re hearing more and more about password reset attacks being used to target Apple iPhone users.  As Mashable reported last month, hackers are attacking iPhones via a method that inundates them with password reset prompts. These hacking campaigns have also been called MFA (multi-factor authentication) bombing or fatigue attacks.  These attacks aren’t new. Reports about them online have been shared for a few years now. However, based on online discussions around them, there seems to be an uptick in cases now. Basically, in this attack, an iPhone user is asked through dozens of notification pop-ups to reset their Apple ID…

On March 12, Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry tendered his resignation amid escalating violence in the country. Ahead of his announcement, the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) met behind closed doors to craft a transition plan, which includes the creation of a presidential council and the appointment of an interim prime minister. Meanwhile, the United States backed yet another foreign intervention, promising $100m for a United Nations force to be deployed in Haiti. In early April, members of the presidential council were named and a political accord on the transition was finalised. That, however, has not reassured Haitians. In…

Screenshot: RNC Research X Hillary Clinton made shocking statements during a recent podcast in which she appeared to suggest that former President Donald Trump would like to “kill his opposition.” The former First Lady made that declaration during a conversation with Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias. She believes Trump will model his presidency after that of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do,” she claimed. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance.” Her rant…

Posted: 4/22/24 | April 22nd, 2024 Dubrovnik is a gorgeous historic city. Perched on the rugged coast of Croatia, it explodes to life every summer as cruisers, backpackers, and beachgoers flock to the city. With medieval charm, a UNESCO Old Town, and the glimmering azure backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, it’s no surprise that this is the most popular city in Croatia. While the city struggles with overtourism, it’s easy to escape the crowds and soak up the local pace of life if you know where to go (and where to stay). I’ve visited Dubrovnik a bunch over the years.…

Some file names gave away clues about the series and episode numbers. There were also files and projects the researchers could not identify—including a “bunch of files” with videos of horses and a Russian book on horses, Williams says. Sanctions placed upon the North Korean regime, for its ongoing human rights abuses and nuclear warfare programs, prohibit US companies from working with DPRK companies or individuals. However, the researchers say it is highly unlikely that any companies involved would have a clue about North Korean animators working on the shows, and there is nothing suggesting the companies violated any sanctions…

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Huawei Technologies Co.’s latest phone shows that China remains behind on cutting-edge chip technology. In an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, Raimondo downplayed the company’s claims of a breakthrough and said the technology gap shows the Biden administration’s success in imposing export controls on China. While Raimondo was visiting China in August, Shenzhen-based Huawei unveiled a smartphone powered by a homegrown advanced 7-nanometer chip, technology that’s generations ahead of where the US hoped to halt China’s advances.  “It’s years behind what we have in the United States,” Raimondo said in the interview broadcast Sunday. “We…

Bill targeting Chinese-owned app goes to the US Senate after passing the House in bipartisan vote. TikTok has slammed a bill that would ban the video-sharing app in the United States if it does not divest from its Chinese owner, accusing lawmakers of trampling on citizens’ right to free speech. “It is unfortunate that the House of Representatives is using the cover of important foreign and humanitarian assistance to once again jam through a ban bill that would trample the free speech rights of 170 million Americans,” TikTok said in a statement on Sunday. TikTok issued the statement after the…
