Rosen Law Firm Announces Investigation of Breaches of Fiduciary Duties by the Directors and Officers of Southwest Airlines Co. - LUVMangione, 26, is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street on December 4, triggering a nationwide manhunt that ended last week when he was spotted at a Pennsylvania McDonald's. The former data engineer remains jailed in that state as he fights efforts to extradite him to New York to face charges there over the killing, which brought into focus widespread public anger against the US health care system. Mangione "is charged with one count of murder in the first degree and two counts of murder in the second degree, including one count of murder in the second degree as an act of terrorism," said Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg. Bragg said the terrorism charge was included because the shooting met the prerequisites for such a determination under New York law. "In its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror and we've seen that reaction," he said. "This was not an ordinary killing." The maximum penalty for the murder charges Mangione faces is life in prison without parole, Bragg said. The suspect was also charged with several crimes related to his possession of a weapon, which authorities said was a 3D-printed "ghost gun." "We allege he... took out a nine-millimeter 3D-printed ghost gun equipped with a 3D-printed suppressor and shot (Thompson) once in the back and once in the leg," said Bragg. "These weapons are increasingly proliferating throughout New York City and the entire country. Evolving technology will only make this problem worse," he said. "Last year, over 80 ghost guns and ghost gun parts were recovered in Manhattan alone." In the wake of Thompson's killing, many social media users have lionized Mangione, with some even calling for further killings of other CEOs. Jessica Tisch, the New York City police commissioner, criticized members of the public who had praised the murder. "In the nearly two weeks since Mr Thompson's killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder," said Tisch Mangione is due in a Pennsylvania court on Thursday, when he is also due at a hearing on his extradition to New York. bur-aha/sst

Fraud attempts carried out with deepfakes have become established as part of the online security landscape, with organizations turning to presentation attack detection and injection attack detection to fight spoofs against face or voice biometrics systems. They are also increasingly deploying multi-modal biometric and signals analysis tools. held a webinar last week to present its vision for “Protecting Contact Centers from AI-Powered Voice Fraud.” Co-founder and CEO Ben Colman and Head of Product Diana Hsieh explained how the company applies real-time detection and multi-factor authentication. Colman noted that voice is the modality most often spoofed with generative AI, and presented real-life examples of voice deepfakes. The company has found that out of 10,000 calls a day handled for a tier 1 bank customer, 0.17 percent are deepfakes. Reality Defender VP of Human Engagement Gabe Regan writes in a company that the move towards real-time, multi-modal deepfake detection represents a strategic shift in organizations’ synthetic media detection approaches. Regan notes that Entrust’s recent shows deepfake attacks on biometric systems are part of 40 percent of identity fraud attempts. has been issued a patent for a way to build better deepfake voice watch lists. The patent for “ ” was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Organization last week to Daon, listing CTO Ralph Rodriguez as its inventor. Current voice watch lists are declining in value, according to the patent document, because they identify known threats to biometric systems, but are unable to adapt to evolving fraud methods. They also “are not typically known to adequately analyze behavioral patterns associated with voice interactions and thus do not capture clues that could indicate fraudulent activity.” The system for enhancing the detection of fraudulent data described in the patent consists of a risk score mechanism that ingests behavioral, contextual and voice data. The data is analyzed for an overall assessment of risk level, with high-risk scores triggering an action like a review or transaction suspension. Like Reality Defender, the analysis is carried out in real-time to find anomalies associated with synthetic speech. Daon plans to deploy the innovative technology within its solution for production deployments in 2025, Rodriguez tells in an email. In India, MEITY (Ministry of Electronic & Information Technology) initiative has published an expression of interest for individuals and organizations to lead a set of development projects to increase the safety and fairness of AI. IndiaAI seeks tools to watermark or label AI-generated content, perform AI risk assessments and management, stress testing and deepfake detection, along with frameworks for ethical AI. The deepfake detection tools should perform real-time deepfake identification and mitigation. Applications are open now through January 9, 2025, and submission guidelines are . The rise in deepfake misinformation and fraud is recognized in a November 27 advisory from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). The reports the advisory followed the release of several fake audio clips by President Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. ’s real-time deepfake detection technology for photos and videos picked up the 9th Munich Digital Innovation Award in November. The award winner was determined by live audience voting during the event, which was held under the theme “Reality Check AI.” “With deepfake and impersonation attacks on the rise, safeguarding digital identities is more critical than ever,” says BioID CEO Ho Chang. The company launched a , which analyzes facial features for signs of manipulation, earlier this year. | | | | | | | |
Alec Baldwin wasn’t invited to ‘Rust’ premiere, incites anger of slain cinematographer’s family
The Costco Guys are trading in their double chunk chocolate cookie and chicken bake for a singlet and wrestling boots . On Saturday, A.J. Befumo will step into the squared circle to face off against All Elite Wrestling star QT Marshall in AEW Full Gear’s Zero Hour. The TikTok star will additionally have his son, Big Justice in his corner during his AEW debut, while fellow internet personality ‘The Rizzler’ will serve as timekeeper for the match. Long before skyrocketing to internet fame as the latest viral sensation, A.J. made a name for himself in the New Jersey independent wrestling circuit under the title Eric Justice. Growing up in the mid-1980s, he quickly developed a love for the sport - growing infatuated with Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling and the WWE superstars of the time. Jake Paul would 'love to' move into scripted sports after being called out by champion Jake Paul changes mind on fighting for heavyweight world title after Mike Tyson win “I always loved pro wrestling, went to a ton of matches as a kid,” A.J. exclusively told Mirror Sport U.S. “Growing up in Wall Township, New Jersey, we had access to Madison Square Garden, we had access to the Meadowlands, we had access even to the Philadelphia Spectrum. “So I was usually at about two, sometimes even three WWE events a month. So then just growing up, loving pro wrestling, I became a pro wrestler and wrestled for about 11 years on the New Jersey independent scene.” As the Costco Guys’ online following quickly grew over the last year - their account actively boasts a whopping 2.3 million followers on the platform - AEW reached out to A.J. to see if he would be interested in returning to wrestling. “It didn't take too much convincing,” he said. “Pro wrestling's in my blood, and to have a ring like AEW, I had to take that opportunity. And I'm glad that I'm able to share it with the world and bring the BOOM!” Follow us on X for the best and latest in sports news On the heels of a brief hiatus from wrestling, it appears as though A.J. still has plenty left in the tank to take down Marshall. Back in October, he pulled off his signature powerBOOM! on his longtime friend - now turned enemy - at an independent wrestling show. Though A.J. and Marshall developed a close friendship over 20 years competing together on the independent wrestling scene, the former asserted that he won’t be pulling any punches when they duke it out at the Prudential Center in Newark. “When he said that he brought me back to bring me in the ring, I thought it was to team up. I thought it was to bring the BOOM. But he had other ideas,” A.J. said. “But you know what, he's gonna pay for those ideas now.” Despite only inking a one-match contract with AEW, A.J. expressed a strong desire to continue wrestling after Saturday’s match - but conceded that it will be difficult to find time in his jam-packed schedule. “I think I'm ready to keep wrestling,” he declared. “Right now. I don't know if I could take on a full schedule - in fact, I probably can't take on a full schedule because we're so busy with some other stuff. “But my mind is ready to be in the ring. My body's ready to be in the ring. So if the opportunity is there for me to stay in the ring, I'm going to take it. I love being in the ring. And I'm happy to keep bringing the BOOM.”
