North Korean hackers cash out $300m from $1.5bn ByBit hack

Hackers thought to be working for the North Korean regime have successfully converted at least $300m (£232m) of their record-breaking $1.5bn crypto heist to unrecoverable funds. The criminals, known as Lazarus Group, swiped the huge haul of digital tokens in a hack on crypto exchange ByBit two weeks ago. Since then, it's been a cat-and-mouse game to track and block the hackers from successfully converting the crypto into usable cash. Experts say the infamous hacking team is working nearly 24

Resurgence of patriotism as Canadians confront the challenges posed by Trump’s threats directly.

This decision necessitated that nachos, wings, and, notably, beer, be prepared exclusively with local Canadian ingredients or, when that was not feasible, with non-U.S. products sourced from Europe or Mexico.

Meta to Pay $25M to Settle Trump Lawsuit Over Social Media Ban

US President Donald Trump has signed a legal settlement that will see Facebook and Instagram owner Meta pay out roughly $25m (£20m).

In July 2024, Meta lifted the final restrictions on Trump's Facebook and Instagramaccounts in the lead up to US presidential elections. The settlement was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

U.S. and Colombia Avoid Trade War Over Deportation Flights

A dispute regarding the acceptance of flights transporting deportees from the United States nearly led to a trade conflict with Colombia, which ultimately conceded after facing threats of tariffs and other sanctions from President Donald Trump.

It has now come to light that criminals seem to have taken even more drastic measures to avo
