Largest Data Breach in History: *16 Billion* Login Credentials Exposed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Security researchers have uncovered potentially the largest data breach in history, comprising an astounding 16 billion login credentials, which include Apple accounts.

9to5Mac reports that a team of security researchers has stumbled upon a massive trove of stolen login credentials, exposing an unprecedented 16 billion records, including Apple accounts. The discovery, which researchers describe as “one of the largest data breaches in history,” has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community and raised serious concerns about the potential for widespread account takeovers, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing attacks.

The researchers, from the cybersecurity firm Cybernews, initially found a database containing 184 million records sitting unprotected on a web server last month. However, as they delved deeper, they realized that this was just one of many unsecured databases full of private information. Further investigation revealed an additional 29 datasets, each containing tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records. In total, the researchers uncovered a staggering 16 billion records, making this one of the biggest stolen login discoveries of all time.

What sets this breach apart from others is the freshness and organization of the data. The researchers emphasized that these are not just recycled old breaches, but rather “fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale.” The neatly structured data, which includes URLs, usernames, and passwords, points to infostealers as the likely source. Infostealers are a type of malware specifically designed to collect login credentials in this exact format.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier posted a video offering a facility for temporary housing for illegal aliens. Uthmeier calls the location “Alligator Alcatraz” due to its location in the Everglades.

In the video posted Thursday, Uthmeier exhibits the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, located about 50 miles west of Miami in the Florida Everglades.

Uthmeier described the location as, “an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades.”

Although the facility has been nearly abandoned, Uthmeier claimed that it could be operational in 30-60 days. After construction, Uthmeier said that “Alligator Alcatraz” would be able to temporarily house around 1000 illegal aliens.

In an interview with Fox News’s John Roberts, Uthmeier said “We’re going to continue to [detain and deport]. We’ve got thousands of arrests underway. We’re going to enforce the law.” (Read more from “Florida Offers ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ To House Illegal Aliens” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas police said they arrested a man for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old he met on Snapchat after seeing him get out of a car with the girl while partially undressed.

On Monday, a bystander called police to report a suspicious car at a park on the west side of San Antonio, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. When police responded, they said they saw the man step out of the back seat of the car.

Police said he was wearing shorts but that his underwear had fallen to the ground.

He then drove away, and police said they witnessed him disregard two stop signs. When they pulled him over, they discovered a 15-year-old in the car with the man they identified as 30-year-old Nathan Gonzales.

Gonzales admitted to police that he had met the teenager through Snapchat and Instagram and had been communicating with her for a long period of time. He claimed that he did not know she was 15 years old. (Read more from “Partially Undressed Man Found in Back Seat of Car With 15-Year-Old Girl He Met on Snapchat, Police Say” HERE)

MAGA Civil War Gets Uglier as Trump First Pal Laura Loomer Hurls Qatar Money ‘Lie’ at Tucker Carlson

/0 Comments/in , /by

The MAGA civil war over the specter of America joining Israel’s conflict with Iran has grown increasingly ugly in recent days as Donald Trump superfan and “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer is now accusing Tucker Carlson of being bankrolled by Qatar, prompting Carlson’s team to call out Loomer’s “lie.”

Loomer, who generally sides with the hardcore “America First” wing of Trump’s coalition, has split from the MAGA isolationists and found common cause with the hawkish Republicans and right-wing commentators who are incessantly nudging the president to take military action against Tehran.

In doing so, Loomer — who has the president’s ear — has also pledged to snitch on any of her fellow conservative pundits and influencers who “is sh*t talking Trump right now,” anointing herself the “loyalty enforcer” of MAGA.

“I am screenshotting everyone’s posts and I’m going to deliver them in a package to President Trump so he sees who is truly with him and who isn’t,” Loomer tweeted this week. “And I think by now everyone knows I mean it when I say I’m going to deliver something to Trump.”

The rabid Trump supporter and self-described “investigative journalist,” who has already taken credit for Trump axing his national security adviser and other “disloyal” aides, is now looking to use her influence with the president to kneecap another longtime Trump ally who has been critical of the administration’s Iran saber-rattling.

Major SCOTUS Victory for America’s Families: State Bans on Hormone Blockers, Trans-Surgeries for Kids Upheld

/0 Comments/in , /by

By MSNBC. The Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care [sic] for minors, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts over dissent from the court’s Democratic appointees.

The Republican-appointed majority said Wednesday that the state law isn’t subject to heightened scrutiny under the Constitution’s equal protection clause. Reasoning that the law doesn’t discriminate based on sex, Roberts wrote that it “prohibits healthcare providers from administering puberty blockers and hormones to minors for certain medical uses, regardless of a minor’s sex.”

. . . Defending the law, the state [of Tennessee] said it’s “not unconstitutional discrimination to say that drugs can be prescribed for one reason but not another.” The state further argued that its law doesn’t classify people based on sex but rather creates two groups: “minors seeking drugs for gender transition and minors seeking drugs for other medical purposes.” (Read more from “Major SCOTUS Victory for America’s Families: State Bans on Hormone Blockers, Trans-Surgeries for Kids Upheld” HERE)

Supreme Court Ruling on Trans Treatments for Minors Decried by Media as ‘Huge Setback for Transgender Rights’

By Fox News. The legacy media was united in its disapproval of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling upholding Tennessee’s ban on transgender medical treatment for minors.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down a challenge to a Tennessee law restricting access to puberty blockers and hormone treatment to children who identify as the opposite sex.

Several news organizations framed the ruling negatively and implied it was a “setback for transgender rights” for all ages, despite the decision affecting only minors. The result was also described as a “major blow,” a “devastating loss,” and a “stunning setback.”

“BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds a Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors in a huge setback for transgender rights,” the Associated Press reported on X Wednesday.

“BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds a Tennessee law restricting gender transition care for minors, delivering a major blow to transgender rights,” NBC News similarly posted.

The Supreme Court Did the Right Thing. I Know Because I Was Part of a Horrifying Gender Transition

By Fox News. The issues raised at the U.S. Supreme Court in United States of America v. Skrmetti are pretty academic to most Americans. The court concluded on June 18 that states can protect children from dangerous gender-transition procedures. Most people don’t have to know more than they want to about what is taking place in many hospitals in America.

But it’s different for me and for thousands of other people who have been defrauded by negligent doctors and harmful policies. I was part of the experiment.

The “procedures” the lawyers debated involve doctor-prescribed, counselor-encouraged drugs and surgeries that have been described as harmful, unnecessary, and high-risk by research and rigorously reviewed studies.

I wasn’t informed of all the risks involved when I was told to take these drugs. I wasn’t given ethical or evidence-based treatment. I was given life-altering drugs and surgeries based on pseudoscience and the singular fact that I hated myself.

I believed the lies my doctors told me because I was vulnerable from abuse and trauma. By the time I was 14, I’d been raped, became pregnant, and suffered a miscarriage. By 16, I had been diagnosed with anorexia, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder and was hospitalized for depression and self-harm. I tried to kill myself several times. A medical resident talked with me — once — and suddenly decided, despite all my other documented physical and mental health struggles, that my real trouble was a “gender-identity crisis.” (Read more from “The Supreme Court Did the Right Thing.

Unearthed Photos Reveal Troubling Connection Between Top Dems and CCP Ally

/0 Comments/in , /by

A female educator, pageant winner, and interpreter from China who has multiple ties to the Chinese Communist Party has cozied up to several top Democrats in New York over the last four to five years, a Fox News Digital review found.

Wang Zaozao, who also goes by “Linda,” was born and raised in Anqing, China. After going to school and specializing in “Chinese-English interpretation for three years” in her native country, she moved to the United States to further her education at Columbia University, according to her website bio. Her education then led to her founding the Zao Learning Center in 2018, which caters to the “training of children models/actors with bilingual language skills” and has multiple training centers in New York and Taiwan.

In addition to working as an educator and teaching hundreds of children of Chinese descent in New York, she has been a “bilingual emcee/TV host for about a decade” at dozens of “large-scale cultural events,” which have featured several top Democrats, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. An archived version of Wang’s Zao Center says it provides “excellent learning atmosphere and professional training to set you off to succeed in the mainstream modeling/entertainment industry.”

As part of her educational qualifications, she touts on her website that she has obtained the “Advanced Interpretation Qualification Certificate” and the Teacher Qualification Certificate issued by the Ministry of Education of China (MOE), which is a key organ of the CCP and plays a crucial role in helping “formulate the curriculum” in Chinese schools and abroad for international educational exchanges, according to their website.

The MOE also directs the “construction of the [Chinese Communist] Party in institutions of higher learning” in addition to working with multiple other CCP departments. A 2017 report from The Diplomat revealed that the Ministry of Education spent five years revising liberal arts textbooks in order to emphasize the importance of “socialist core values” for students. The report went on to highlight how “new textbooks focus on strengthening the revolutionary tradition of the CCP.” (Read more from “Unearthed Photos Reveal Troubling Connection Between Top Dems and CCP Ally” HERE)

Did Israel Just Try to Kill Iran’s Supreme Leader?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli forces have reportedly bombed the area where Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is believed to be hiding.

It is unclear whether the Israeli Air Force was actually targeting Khamenei in the attack. Baku.ws reported that “the Israeli Air Force is bombing a district of the Iranian capital where, according to sources, the bunker of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is located.”

Israeli forces have also reportedly struck Iran’s Ministry of Defense.

Video footage circulating on social media shows Israeli bombs decimating areas of Lavizan, where Khamenei’s bunker is believed to be located.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a thinly veiled threat to Khamenei in a post on Truth Social, saying the White House knows where he is hiding. “He is an easy target,” Trump wrote. “But is safe there—We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.” (Read more from “Did Israel Just Try to Kill Iran’s Supreme Leader?” HERE)

Second Major Food Brand in Two Days Announces Artificial Dye Removal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Major food brand General Mills will remove all artificial dyes from its products by 2027, the company announced Tuesday.

The company also announced plans to remove “certified colors” from all of its American cereal brands and all of its products in school lunches by summer 2026, they said in a press release.

While General Mills claimed that 85 percent of its product line is already made without artificial colors, some of their most popular products still contain dyes.

Many flavors of Kool-Aid, a General Mills product, contain Red 40, which the Trump administration said would soon be banned in a May announcement.

Consumption of Red 40 has been linked to rises in early onset colorectal cancer and researchers found that it also damages DNA. (Read more from “Second Major Food Brand in Two Days Announces Artificial Dye Removal” HERE)

‘Hell Is Not Enough for You’: SCOTUS Decision on Child Sex Changes Sparks Trans Infighting

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender influencer started pointing fingers at other members of the community regarding the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling Wednesday, which upheld Tennessee’s law banning child sex change procedures.

Trans woman Brianna Wu, who formerly ran for election to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Massachusetts in 2020, said it’s the “legal precedent that will allow red states to ban HRT for adults.”

Wu aimed his criticism at “the narcissists” at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which represented the plaintiff, and more specifically at Chase Strangio, a transgender person who served as the lead attorney representing the plaintiffs of United States v. Skrmetti.

Wu said that Strangio was worse for the trans movement than Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who has been openly critical of the trans ideology, “because she’s not actively laying the legal framework that hurts actual transsexuals.”

Wu said Strangio was “destroying” transgender rights with her “arrogance in your extreme gender ideology.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

California police say they have identified and arrested two suspects in a hit-and-run investigation, after a driver barreled through No Kings protesters on Saturday.

Video of the incident went viral online, with many commentators saying the driver was justified in hitting the gas because the vehicle was surrounded by threatening protesters, one of whom had damaged the vehicle.

Police identified the driver as 58-year-old Russell Prentice of Riverside and also identified another suspect who allegedly tried to destroy evidence in the case. Prentice was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run causing injury.

The video went viral online with millions of views.

Candase Wenzel, 39, was also arrested and charged with accessory after the fact and destruction of evidence. The Riverside Police Dept. said that Wenzel drove Prentice’s vehicle out to Phelan, a remote desert town, in order to intentionally destroy and conceal evidence in the alleged crime.
