Britain’s new prime minister, Andy Burnham, is already having to make one of his gravest decisions. He has to issue the instructions that he alone gives to the military, setting out the UK response in a doomsday scenario of a nuclear weapons attack on us. He will, as I did two decades ago, sign a piece of paper telling commanders whether or not to retaliate and, if so, whether through targeting civilian conurbations or military sites. These instructions are written down in the aptly named “letter of last resort”.Now, more than at any time since the 1960s Cuban missile crisis,…

President Donald Trump has submitted to Congress for review an agreement with Saudi Arabia aimed at bolstering the kingdom’s civilian nuclear program, but continues to insist that it won’t move forward if Saudi Arabia doesn’t normalise relations with Israel, according to a Trump administration official. The classified document was submitted to Capitol Hill on Monday as required by the Atomic Energy Act, according to the administration official, a congressional aide, and two others familiar with the matter.

Threat actors are abusing npm and its mirrors to host malicious HTML pages that impersonate Cloudflare CAPTCHAs to redirect visitors to attacker-controlled websites. The technique was previously spotted in July by security researcher inf0stache, who found a ‘china_airlines’ npm package that used a fake Cloudflare verification page to redirect visitors to a malicious domain, and was also reported by IntelFusions. In a later report, OX Security discovered 24 npm packages containing the same malicious HTML page hosted on npm and various mirrors. However, unlike the typical npm supply-chain attacks we’ve seen lately, installing the packages does not infect a developer’s computer…

Software supply-chain security firm Socket found 40 Firefox add-on identities with confirmed malicious behavior, including draining crypto, including nine that had previously distributed sports-score tools under the same IDs.Anyone whose recovery phrase, private key, or wallet keyring reached one of the malicious versions must treat that wallet as compromised because uninstalling the add-on cannot revoke an exposed secret.The Aug. 19 report linked 77 identities to what Socket provisionally calls the “Offside Wallet Theft Factory,” with 40 containing confirmed malicious behavior. The other 37 were deceptive or suspicious sports-score shells whose analyzed versions contained no confirmed theft payload.The campaign operated from…

Pandora, NASA’s newest exoplanet mission and the first satellite to launch through the agency’s Astrophysics Pioneers program, is now making unique observations of worlds beyond our solar system and the stars they orbit. The mission will determine the atmospheric make-up of at least 20 exoplanets, including the presence of hazes, clouds, and water. “Pandora’s data will help close a major gap in our knowledge about planets and their host stars because, right now, we can’t be entirely sure how the star’s light affects measurements of what makes up exoplanet atmospheres,” said Elisa Quintana, Pandora’s principal investigator at NASA’s Goddard Space…

The apology comes after the college set up a working group of experts, doctors and abuse survivors, including Caroline, to review NHS care.The group was set up after mental health services have seen a rise in people coming forward seeking help in the last decade or so, following high-profile abuse scandals involving schools, children’s homes and religious institutions, as well as the Jimmy Savile crimes.The college is calling for a number of changes. It is promising to develop specialist training materials for psychiatrists, but wants mandatory training for all mental health staff on the importance of trauma-informed care for survivors…
