Critical infrastructure cyberattacks expected to get nastier

Security experts are warning that attacks on critical infrastructure are likely to grow in scale and severity, with more intrusions aimed at operational technology. Geopolitics is pushing nation-state actors toward disruption and damage, while the usual chaos squad of criminals and hacktivists keeps the baseline misery humming.

FCC IoT “Cyber Trust Mark” labeling effort loses its lead administrator

UL Solutions has quit as lead administrator of the FCC’s consumer IoT security labeling program, leaving the Cyber Trust Mark effort without its central overseer. The exit follows internal security reviews that reportedly raised concerns about potential foreign influence, which is an impressively on-brand way to derail a security program.

Trump warns Republicans of impeachment if they lose the House

President Donald Trump told House Republicans that if they lose control of the House in November, Democrats would move to impeach him. Nothing says “please focus on policy” like pre-ordering the next constitutional cage match.

Israel’s foreign minister visits Somaliland after recognition, backlash grows

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar traveled to Somaliland and is expected to meet President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi in Hargeisa, the first such visit since Israel formally recognized the breakaway region last month. Somalia and several Arab, Islamic, and African states condemned the move, and reports have floated links to proposals about relocating displaced Palestinians from Gaza and potential Israeli military access, which Somaliland has denied, insisting the relationship is purely diplomatic.

Penn State nearly stuns No. 2 Michigan, still winless in Big Ten

Penn State men’s basketball, without injured leading scorer Kayden Mingo, rallied from 13 down but lost 74-72 to undefeated No. 2 Michigan on the final possession. Ivan Jurić scored a career-high 20, Freddie Dilione V’s potential game-winning 3 missed at the buzzer, and Penn State now gets to visit No. 5 Purdue, because the schedule apparently believes in tough love.

Anthropic’s Claude Code lead touts “parallel agent” workflow for developers

Boris Cherny, who leads Claude Code at Anthropic, described a setup where one developer runs multiple Claude agents in parallel, juggling terminal tabs with notifications plus 5 to 10 more in a browser. The pitch is a “do more with less” future powered by task handoffs, verification loops, and shared memory, which is great until management hears “less” and starts sharpening spreadsheets.

Russia reportedly escorts sanctioned oil tanker across Atlantic

Russia has reportedly sent a submarine and other naval vessels to escort the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera, formerly the sanctioned Bella 1, as it heads toward northern Russia. With the U.S. Coast Guard said to be considering boarding and multiple countries tracking the ship near Ireland, the situation is raising fears of a confrontation, plus lingering speculation about whether it is carrying more than oil.

Zegras shines as Flyers beat Ducks again, Gauthier booed

Trevor Zegras scored twice against his former team as the Flyers beat the Ducks again, while Cutter Gauthier continued to face sustained fan backlash. Sports remains the only arena where grudges are treated like a community arts program.

West Philadelphia shooting leaves man and bystander wounded

Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect after a man and an innocent bystander were shot outside a beer distributor in West Philadelphia. Authorities have not announced an arrest, and the case highlights, again, how easily violence spills onto people who were never part of the dispute.

Authorities cite videos and transcripts in Brown shootings investigation

Transcripts and several videos recorded by Claudio Manuel Neves Valente around the time of the Brown shootings allegedly show he acted out of a grudge and expressed no remorse, according to authorities. Investigators say the materials help establish motive and state of mind as the case proceeds.
