The Trump administration said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Milo Yiannopoulos, the prominent right-wing agitator and early supporter of President Trump, at the New Orleans airport on Friday.Public ICE detention records confirmed that Mr. Yiannopoulos was in custody, but did not say where he was being held. The Homeland Security Department said that Mr. Yiannopoulos had overstayed his visa and was issued a final deportation order in July. That order means Mr. Yiannopoulos faces possible removal from the country.The Homeland Security Department publicized Mr. Yiannopoulos’s arrest, circulating an unflattering mug shot and warning other immigrants to “take control…

Cosmos Labs has warned that a critical balance-handling flaw in the shared Cosmos EVM module was exploited to drain funds from six blockchains between August 20 and August 25, 2026. The vulnerability, designated GHSA-7g4w-cg88-2cq2, is rated Critical by Cosmos Labs and was published without a CVE identifier, a weakness classification, or a CVSS score. Affected versions are < 0.6.2 and >= 0.7.0 < 0.7.2, and the fix shipped in v0.6.2 and v0.7.2 on August 19. Chain operators are told to upgrade to one of those releases or later, a change that is state-breaking and requires a coordinated network upgrade. Operators…

A Cosmos EVM vulnerability exploited across six networks, including MANTRA, exposed a security gap spanning around 40 blockchains.On Aug. 28, Cosmos Labs said the same accounting flaw was exploited on six networks, including MANTRA, TAC, and KiiChain, before an emergency response spread across the broader Cosmos EVM ecosystem.Attackers converted about $2.87 million through decentralized exchanges and an estimated $2.85 million through centralized venues, according to a Cosmos security postmortem. Accounts connected to the centralized-exchange activity have since been frozen.MANTRA suffered the largest publicly detailed hit. An unprivileged wallet moved about 720.9 million tokens from two addresses that had not authorized…

NASA named a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as the first prize winner for Phase 2 of the agency’s LunaRecycle Challenge, which focused on developing solutions for reducing waste during missions to the Moon or deep space by recycling common materials, like fabrics, plastics, foam, and metals.  The Composites for Extraterrestrial Recycling By Engineering the Reuse and Upcycling of Zotek (CERBERUZ) team, comprised of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students at MIT, received a total of $775,000 in awards.   The technology grinds mixed trash into a fine powder, repurposing materials such as Zotek foam as reinforcement rather than treating it as contamination that needs to be sorted out. The powder becomes feed for use as injection-mold finished parts or 3D-printing filament. The MIT team won in both the competition’s prototype development track and in the track focused on developing virtual models, known…

Global sea surface temperatures have reached a record high, raising serious concerns for global Earth systems, according to new data released by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). On Aug. 22, the daily global average sea surface temperature, outside polar regions, reached 21.1° Celsius (69.98° Fahrenheit), exceeding the previous record set in March 2024 of 21.09° C (69.96° F). Even small temperature increases represent a huge gain in heat energy in the ocean because of its vast volume, noted the 2025 European state of the climate report. In 2025, too, the global ocean heat content —…

Friday, American Oversight released records it obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that include an April 2025 memo from the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of the General Counsel to all state attorneys general, laying out the legal theory DHS developed for deploying National Guard members as immigration enforcement officers — including outside their home states. First reported today by Politico, the records show DHS constructing a two-step legal bridge: first federalizing National Guard members under Title 10, then deputizing them as immigration officers under 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(6) —…
