In cyber security
Researchers say more than 5,000 GitHub repositories were hit in an automated supply-chain attack codenamed Megalodon. The attacker used a malicious GitHub Actions workflow to run a script that stole development secrets, including keys, tokens, and other credentials. The usual reminder applies, developers still have to trust every tiny automation file that looks boring enough to be harmless.
In France
France is expanding investigations into an alleged abuse scandal across 114 Paris schools and nurseries. Prosecutors say children as young as three were allegedly raped, beaten, and denied food by staff entrusted to care for them. This is a serious case, and the scale alone is grim.
In the Middle East
Israel carried out strikes in eastern Lebanon after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military would intensify attacks on Hezbollah. In Gaza, a six-year-old Palestinian girl was killed in an Israeli strike on a displacement camp in Khan Younis, and her father is mourning her death.
Meanwhile, Iran says a deal with the U.S. is still not close, despite what it describes as some progress in talks. Its foreign ministry says contradictory U.S. statements and Israeli interference remain obstacles, and it says any future arrangement over the Strait of Hormuz would be agreed with Oman.
In the U.S.
Protests escalated at a New Jersey ICE detention facility, where demonstrators clashed with agents and detainees said they were on hunger strike. The situation at the facility has become a sharper flashpoint, not that immigration detention needed any more of those.
