GPS Glitched Across The US by as Much as 33 Feet. Scientists Have Never Seen This Before.

In November 2025, Earth was buffeted by several massive eruptions of solar material that slammed into the magnetosphere. GPS Glitched Across The US by as Much as 33 Feet.

FBI Disrupts Chinese Proxy Tools Used in Mass Hacking of US Agencies and Infrastructure

China’s hacking campaign targeted NASA, the Federal Reserve, the US Senate, the Justice Department, and more, according to the DOJ. For years, China’s military and intelligence agencies, which carry out hacking campaigns against targets around the globe, have grown increasingly reliant on a vast web of proxy devices that enable and obfuscate their targeting. Now the FBI has named and disrupted one key network of those proxies—and in doing so, revealed just how extensively the hackers who used it reached into American government institutions and US critical infrastructure.

Expired credit cards revived by researchers to make unauthorized payments

Researchers affiliated with the University of Massachusetts Amherst have found that you can get payments out of certain expired contactless credit cards, a process detailed at the recent USENIX Security 2026 conference. Credit cards, the authors explain in their paper, have expiration dates, but the way these dates get checked and enforced isn’t consistent. Thus, they were able to devise an attack that makes expired contactless cards appear to be valid to payment terminals.

Fake Conferences, OAuth and WhatsApp: Inside Russia’s New Espionage Tactics

Google’s Threat Intelligence Group tracked three separate suspected Russia-linked cyber espionage clusters. All three focus on the same thing: abusing authentication features that are supposed to protect accounts to access them instead. Threat actors target researchers, academics, government officials, think-tank analysts, and defense sector personnel across Europe and the United States. The three clusters are tracked as UNC6293, UNC7005, and UNC5976, and while they operate differently and with different tools, Google published them together for a reason.

Shortly after loading the AliExpress homepage, audio from my phone would stop playing. Closing the AliExpress tab fixes it immediately. Muting the tab/Firefox/Windows does not help, and there is no visible video, music, or other media playing on the page.

What is 'The Com'

We dive into the decentralized architecture of “The Com,” exposing its hybrid ecosystem of hacking, extortion, and real-life violence. The Community, more widely known as “The Com” is a sophisticated hybrid threat ecosystem in which cybercrime serves as the venture capital for domestic terrorism. Existing since the early 2010s, it operates in the “edgesphere”, a grey area where mainstream social media overlaps with underground criminal networks, blending nihilistic violent extremism (NVE) with high-level financial fraud. In The Com, cybercrime against Fortune 500 companies is the primary revenue stream used by members to fund a domestic terror network that aims to radicalize youth and encourage real-world violence.

Europol-led action against nihilistic violent extremist network 'The Com' – Referral Action Days disrupt online ecosystem and leads to the referral of 4340 URLs referencing disturbing content

An estimated 4 340 URLs related to nihilistic violent extremism were referred during the initiative organised by Europol’s EU Internet Referral Unit - EU IRU and the Spanish Intelligence Centre against Terrorism and Organised Crime (CITCO). This successful action complements the efforts undertaken within Project COMPASS, coordinated by Europol’s European Counter Terrorism Centre, which unites law enforcement authorities from EU…

Hacker Com: Cyber Criminal Subset of The Community Is a Rising Threat to Youth Online

The FBI is warning the public about Hacker Com, one of three subsets of the growing and evolving online threat group known as The Com, short for The Community, a primarily English speaking, international, online ecosystem comprised of multiple interconnected networks whose members, many of whom are minors, engage in a variety of criminal violations.

This Coin-Sized Device Can Hack a Boeing 737

Security researchers found that in less than 60 seconds, they could open a hatch on a plane’s exterior, plug in a tiny device, and redirect the aircraft’s autopilot or sabotage its flight plan. Even as the digital components of so many life-critical systems have proven susceptible to cybersabotage—cars, medical devices, even water utilities and power grids—the computer systems of airplanes have, thankfully, remained uniquely inaccessible to hackers. But one group of academic researchers has spent years testing a different, devious approach to aviation cybersecurity. Perhaps, they suggest, a plane could be hacked the same way that spies and saboteurs have targeted other high-value, offline computers: by surreptitiously gaining physical access to one and plugging in a device designed to silently run the attackers’ malicious code.
