The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized Hamas-linked fundraising infrastructure and used it to intercept cryptocurrency donations intended for the group.Earlier this week, the Justice Department said the operation followed earlier court-authorized seizures that traced and recovered more than $560,000 in digital assets tied to Hamas fundraising.Those seizures came through warrants issued in March, June and October 2025 after investigators followed rotating donation addresses distributed through encrypted chats and fundraising websites.The June warrant showed how that process worked. Tether was ordered to burn targeted USDT and reissue an equivalent amount to a US law-enforcement-controlled address, while Binance was directed…

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a striking new feature in Saturn’s atmosphere: a huge, evolving 10-sided wave circling the planet’s south pole. It is the first time scientists have observed a large, regularly shaped jet pattern in Saturn’s southern hemisphere. The structure has some similarities to Saturn’s famous hexagon at its northern pole, but important differences suggest researchers may be watching a distinct atmospheric phenomenon take shape. The results were published in the journal Science Advances. A New Pattern Emerges on Saturn Researchers reconstructed the development of the feature using several years of Hubble observations going back to 2023.…

Lloyd’s Register (LR), the UK-based classification society, and the Marine Design and Research Institute of China (MARIC) have unveiled a tri-fuel-ready tanker concept designed to give owners flexibility to pursue liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, or ammonia as fuel technologies, infrastructure, and regulations evolve, while uncertainty over future marine fuels continues to shape investment decisions.

More than a month after an estimated 72,000 people suddenly crossed from Morocco into the Spanish territory of Ceuta, the city remains in chaos and the damage inflicted on the Spanish government is becoming clearer. Most of those who made the crossing have returned to Morocco. The scale of the incident was nevertheless extraordinary, and about 140 people are thought to have died.Also extraordinary was the response of the 22 EU governments that rounded on the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, rather than demonstrate the solidarity one might expect from allies. Perhaps less surprising was the exploitation of the crisis…

The thinking behind the proposal is that a CDU-led minority government with support of the far left — as is the case in other eastern German states such as Saxony and Thuringia — would give the AfD further ammunition to attack the party. CDU state premier Sven Schulze, the party’s lead candidate, quickly distanced himself from from the proposal. “That is the opinion of a single party member,” he told German magazine Stern. “No decision has been made on this, and it will not be a topic of discussion in the coming days.” The document has not yet been adopted,…

Care workers, chefs and others in danger of losing their migration status under post-Brexit rules if they leave an exploitative employer will be helped by new visa changes, the Home Office says.Officials said if an employee was found to be a victim of modern slavery they would be allowed to work for any employer for the remainder of their visa.The migration status of people on skilled worker visas was tied to a sponsoring employer, under a scheme introduced to fill post-Brexit labour shortages by Boris Johnson’s Conservative government in 2021.It meant workers on that route, who have no recourse to…

Reform UK has been given a further £4m from the British crypto billionaire Ben Delo, with the party saying it is confident the formerly Hong Kong-based businessman will not be caught by the new overseas donor cap.Delo, who was convicted in the US in 2022 for failing to implement adequate anti-money laundering controls in his cryptocurrency business before being pardoned by Donald Trump, has previously given £4m to Reform in January.His £8m in gifts show the rise of Reform’s mega-donors and make him the party’s second biggest contributor after Thailand based crypto investor Christopher Harborne who has given £15m to…

DJI has announced a second generation of its Romo robovac. The Romo 2 series is quieter, more powerful, and better at climbing over small steps and other obstacles. But more importantly for DJI, a new local-only data mode should go some way to reassuring anyone concerned by the first Romo’s serious security flaws.There are actually two new Romo models, the transparent P2 and the opaque A2. Both benefit from improved navigation, apparently able to avoid cables and other obstacles as small as 2mm in size, as well as transparent objects like mirrors or glass. There’s also “human-like reasoning and concept…

The Hacker NewsSep 03, 2026Social Engineering / Malware An RMM phishing campaign initially associated with Canadian targeting due to its use of Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) tax forms as lures has turned out to be part of a broader campaign spanning 46 countries.
