Middleman held in connection with bribery case involving ED official: CBIFor many across the Middle East, the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire came as a relief: the first major sign of progress in the region since war began more than a year ago. But for Palestinians in Gaza and families of hostages held in the territory, the news appeared only to inaugurate a newer, grimmer period of the conflict there. For them, it marked yet another missed opportunity to end fighting that has stretched on for nearly 14 months. Palestinians had hoped that any ceasefire deal with Hezbollah would include a truce in Gaza as well. The families of people kidnapped when Hamas-led militants stormed southern Israel in October 2023, meanwhile, wanted part of the agreement to include returning their loved ones. Instead, the ceasefire was confined only to the fighting in Lebanon . “We feel this is a missed opportunity to tie in the hostages in this agreement that was signed today,” said Ruby Chen, whose son, Itay Chen, was taken hostage from an Israeli military base and has been declared dead. As much as they were intertwined, the two wars have been very different. In Lebanon, Israel said its aim was to drive Hezbollah back from the countries’ shared border and end the militant group’s barrages into northern Israel. The ceasefire that took effect Wednesday is intended to do that. In Gaza, Israel’s goals are more sweeping . Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been resolute in insisting that Hamas must be completely destroyed and Israel must retain lasting control over parts of the territory. Months of talks have failed to get Netanyahu to back down from those demands — or to convince Hamas to release hostages under those terms. For Palestinians in Gaza, that means continuing misery under an Israeli campaign that has demolished much of the territory and driven almost the entire population from their homes. Hundreds of thousands are going hungry while living in squalid tent cities as the second winter of the war brings cold rains and flooding. ”They agree to a ceasefire in one place and not in the other? Have mercy on the children, the elderly and the women,” said Ahlam Abu Shalabi, living in tent in central Gaza. “Now it is winter, and all the people are drowning.” Palestinians feel resigned to continued war The war between Israel and Hamas began on Oct. 7, 2023, when militants attacked Israel from Gaza, killing around 1,200 people and taking some 250 hostage. Israel’s retaliatory offensive has rained devastation on the Palestinian territory, killing over 44,000 people, according to local health officials. The officials, who do not distinguish between civilians and fighters in their count, say over half of the dead are women and children. Hezbollah began firing into Israel a day after Hamas’ attack in solidarity with the Palestinian militant group. The two sides have exchanged near-daily barrages since. Moving thousands of troops to its northern border, Israel ramped up bombardment of southern Lebanon and launched a ground invasion there two months ago, killing many of Hezbollah’s leaders . Palestinians now fear Israel’s military can return its full focus to Gaza — a point that Netanyahu made as he announced the ceasefire in Lebanon on Tuesday. “The pressure will be more on Gaza,” said Mamdouh Younis, a displaced man in a central Gaza tent camp. Netanyahu, he said, can now exploit the fact that “Gaza has become alone, far from all the arenas that were supporting it, especially the Lebanon front.” Israeli troops are already engaged in fierce fighting in Gaza’s north , where a two-month offensive has cut off most aid and caused experts to warn a famine may be underway . Strikes all over the territory regularly kill dozens. In signing onto the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah reversed its long-held position that it wouldn’t stop its barrages across the border unless Israel ends the war in Gaza. “This could have a psychological impact, as it will further entrench the understanding that Palestinians in Gaza are alone in resisting against their occupiers,” said Tariq Kenney Shawa, a U.S. policy fellow at Al-Shabaka, a Palestinian think tank. Hamas may dig its heels in It also leaves Hamas — its capabilities already severely damaged by Israel’s offensive — to fight alone. Hamas official Osama Hamdan appeared to accept Hezbollah’s new position in an interview Monday. “Any announcement of a ceasefire is welcome. Hezbollah has stood by our people and made significant sacrifices,” Hamdan told the Lebanese broadcaster Al-Mayadeen, which is seen as politically allied with Hezbollah. Khalil Sayegh, a Palestinian analyst, said the ceasefire could make Hamas even less popular in Gaza, by proving the failure of its gambit that its attack on Israel would rally other militant groups to the fight. “It’s a moment where we can see the Hamas messaging become weaker and weaker, as they struggle to justify their strategy to the public,” said Sayegh. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire could help force Hamas to the negotiating table because it would show the group that the “cavalry is not on the way.” But Hamas experts predicted that it would only dig in both on the battlefield and in talks. Hamas has insisted it will only release all the hostages in return for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. “I expect Hamas will continue using guerrilla warfare to confront Israeli forces in Gaza as long as they remain,” said Shawa. Hostage families lose hope Dozens of Israelis thronged a major highway in Tel Aviv on Tuesday night, protesting for the return of the hostages as the country waited to hear if a ceasefire in Lebanon had been agreed. Around 100 people taken hostage are still held in Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Most of the other hostages seized by Hamas were released during a ceasefire last year. Ricardo Grichener, the uncle of 23-year-old hostage Omer Wenkert, said the ceasefire with Hezbollah showed how the Israeli government was openly disregarding the hostages. Even though Israel has inflicted greater damage on Hamas in Gaza than on Hezbollah in Lebanon, he said “the decision to postpone a deal in Gaza and release the hostages is not based on the same military success criteria.” The most recent effort to wind down the war stalled in October. U.S. President Joe Biden said Tuesday he would begin a renewed push, but his administration is now in its waning days after the reelection of former President Donald Trump. “This ceasefire doesn’t concern our hostages. I believe that Netanyahu forgot about them, and he just wants to keep fighting in Gaza,” said Ifat Kalderon, clutching a photo of her cousin, Ofer Kalderon, who is a hostage and a father to four. “Ofer yesterday had his 54th birthday. His second birthday in Gaza,” she said. “It’s unbelievable that he’s still there.”2024 is coming to a close, and while all of us here at Tom's Guide want everyone to have the absolute best online safety (whether this is using the best VPN or using unique passwords for every account), it's also important to recognise that sometimes online safety is a bit trickier than this. So, it's time to look at some times when cyber security has gone wrong. If you (like me) like to keep up with all the cyber attacks from across the globe, it might not surprise you that it's been a big year for data breaches. From July to September alone, more than 422 million records were exposed through various hacks, cyber attacks and network vulnerability exploitations. The impact of data breaches is always widespread, with victims more likely to be victims of other cyber attacks like phishing, or may even get their identity stolen, but this year has been particularly devastating for the businesses that suffered them. The cost of data breaches was the highest it's ever been, with the global average cost of a data breach being $4.88 million . It would take far too long to list every single data breach that happened this year, so instead I've put together a list of the top 10 most impactful data breaches of this year. 10. Life360 attacked by anonymous hacker If you use Life 360 to keep an eye on your loved ones, unfortunately you now may have more eyes on you than you bargained for. Around half a million users of the family networking app had their data leaked to the dark web after a hacker abused a flaw in Life 360's login API. The hacker, who referred to themself as "emo," posted a database containing the emails, phone numbers and full names of 442,519 people to a dark web hacking forum. "Emo" gave details of how the breach happened, but claimed to not be the perpetrator of the breach. Instead, the anonymous poster simply said: "Credit to the original breacher for this leak yk who u are". 9. Millions of Discord messages leaked Discord is one of the most popular messaging services, with over 200 million monthly active users. It's not exactly surprising that it would be the target of a data breach, then, considering the sheer amount of data shared on the platform every single day. The instant messaging and VoIP platform suffered a data breach in April of this year. The hackers responsible for the attack and subsequent data leak exploited a vulnerability in its website code, and through this accessed Discord's data. In total, the Discord data breach exposed roughly 4.2 billion Discord messages from 256 million users. That's a whole lot of memes, DMs and community servers exposed. 8. FBCS and the rapidly growing data leak In a data breach that just kept getting worse as time went on, Financial Business and Consumer Solutions (FBCS) was breached in February of this year. The breach took place after a hacker gained unauthorized access to the organisation's servers. It was initially thought that the data of 1.9 million people had been stolen in the hack, but this was then raised to 3.2 million in May, and then 4.2 million in July. The data stolen included names, addresses, driver's license numbers and social security numbers, as well as information relating to customers' medical history. This included provider information, information related to medical claims, clinical information (e.g. conditions or diagnosis, treatment information and medications) and health insurance information. 7. Double data leaks for AT&T It was a bad year for AT&T, as it was the victim of not one but two different data breaches this year. In March, a hack was discovered after the personal data of 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former customers was posted to the dark web. While AT&T initially denied that the data posted to the hacking forum was stolen from their servers, they eventually admitted that it was their data. Then in July, AT&T informed their customers that hackers had stolen a cache of data containing the phone numbers and call records of 110 million people , or "nearly all" its customers. AT&T has not yet made public how either of these hacks happened. 6. Disney targeted by furry hackers Another company to suffer multiple data breaches this year was Disney, resulting in a huge amount of corporate data being stolen. The first data breach Disney suffered was in June of this year, with 2.5GB of Club Penguin and corporate data leaked on a 4chan message board after being stolen from the company's Confluence server. Then, in July, notorious furry hacking gang NullBulge stole 1.2TB of data from Disney after the group breached Disney's Slack platform. According to the Wall Street Journal, the information stolen included 44 million internal Slack messages, 18,800 spreadsheets and 13,000 PDFs. 5. Dell suffers brute-force cyber attack Computer software company Dell was another company to suffer a widespread breach following a targeted cyber attack. In May, Dell suffered a brute force attack to its systems, meaning the hackers inputted potentially thousands of passwords to find the right one. The hack targeted a Dell portal that contained customer information related to purchases and resulted in the breach of 49 million records. Among the data exposed were the names, addresses and order details of customers, although Dell claims no financial information was exposed in the hack. 4. Change Healthcare hack impacts a third of Americans In a breach that impacted a huge portion of Americans, health insurance technology provider Change Healthcare was hacked early this year. Roughly a third of Americans had their data compromised in February 2024 following the h ack of Change Healthcare . The hack was extensive, impacting a number of other health insurance companies and pharmacies. Orchestrated by ransomware gang APLHV (also known as BlackCat), the hack saw the sensitive data of around 100 million people exposed. The data stolen included social security numbers, medical records, patient diagnoses, passport numbers, health insurance plan data and billing information. 3. Billions of records exposed in National Public Data hack This shocking breach saw billions (that's right, billions ) of records in a single cyber attack. Early this year, online background check and fraud prevention service National Public Data suffered an extensive data breach that allegedly exposed 2.9 billion records . The information exposed included the names, social security numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of 170 million people across the US, UK and Canada. The breach was caused by a hacker gaining access to National Public Data's systems in December 2023. This hacker then leaked data found on the system onto the dark web from April to the summer of 2024. 2. Millions of customers have data exposed in Ticketmaster breach Bad news for anyone who went to a gig this year, as Ticketmaster suffered a data breach that exposed the data of millions of customers. Ticketmaster was targeted by ransomware gang ShinyHunters in June of this year, who claimed to have stolen the data of more than 560 million customers. ShinyHunters posted about the data breach online, offering the data set for $500,000. ShinyHunters gained access to the data by stealing login details for Snowflake, Ticketmaster's cloud storage service. ShinyHunters also targeted more than 160 other Snowflake customers with similar data theft, including banking group Santander. 1. The Mother of All Breaches lives up to its name Considering the name, it's not surprising that the Mother of All Breaches (MOAB) is taking the number one spot. This massive data leak occurred in January 2024, and was a collection of 4,144 breaches that had taken place over several years, although researchers believed that there was new data included within the breach. Over 26 billion records from thousands of sources including Canva, Tencent, Venmo, Adobe, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Weibo, Dropbox and Telegram were exposed. The data leaked contained 12TB personal information, including login credentials like usernames and passwords, and other personal information.

Canada Prepares For Possible Trade War With US Amid Trump’s Threat of 25% TariffBEIRUT (AP) — Syria's de facto leader said Sunday it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans to dissolve his Islamist group that led the country's insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview with Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad's decades-long rule, ending the country's uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. Al-Sharaa said it would take time to hold elections because of the need for Syria's different forces to hold political dialogue and rewrite the country's constitution following five decades of the Assad dynasty's dictatorial rule. Also, the war-torn country's battered infrastructure needs to be reconstructed, he said. “The chance we have today doesn’t come every 5 or 10 years,” said al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani. “We want the constitution to last for the longest time possible.” Al-Sharaa is Syria's de facto leader until March 1, when Syria's different factions are set to hold a political dialogue to determine the country's political future and establish a transitional government that brings the divided country together. There, he said, HTS will dissolve after years of being the country's most dominant rebel group that held a strategic enclave in the country's northwest. Earlier, an Israeli airstrike in the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday killed 11 people, according to a war monitor, as Israel continues to target Syrian weapons and military infrastructure even after the ouster of Assad. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrike targeted a weapons depot that belonged to Assad’s forces near the industrial town of Adra, northeast of the capital. The observatory said at least 11 people, mostly civilians, were killed. The Israeli military did not comment on the airstrike Sunday. Israel, which has launched hundreds of airstrikes over Syria since the country's uprising turned-civil war broke out in 2011, rarely acknowledges them. It says its targets are Iran-backed groups that backed Assad. Unlike his criticism of key Assad ally Iran, al-Sharaa hoped to maintain “strategic relations” with Russia, whose air force played a critical role in keeping Assad in power for over a decade during the conflict. Moscow has a strategic airbase in Syria. The HTS leader also said negotiations are ongoing with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in northeastern Syria, and hopes that their armed forces will integrate with the Syrian security agencies. The Kurdish-led group is Washington’s key ally in Syria, where it is heavily involved in targeting sleeper cells belonging to the extremist Islamic State group. Turkish-backed Syrian rebels have been clashing with the SDF even after the insurgency, taking the key city of Manbij, as Ankara hopes to create a buffer zone near its border in northern Syria. The rebels attacked near the strategic northern border town of Kobani, while the SDF shared a video of a rocket attack that destroyed what it said was a radar system south of the city of Manbij. In other developments: — Syrian state-run media said a mass grave was found near the third largest city of Homs. SANA said civil defense workers were sent to to the site in al-Kabo, one of many suspected mass graves where tens of thousands of Syrians are believed to have been buried during a brutal crackdown under Assad and his network of security agencies. — An Egyptian activist wanted by Cairo on charges of incitement to violence and terrorism, Abdulrahman al-Qardawi, was detained by Lebanese security forces after crossing the porous border from Syria, according to two judicial and one security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to to talk to the press. Al-Qardawi is an Egyptian activist residing in Turkey and an outspoken critic of Egypt's government. He had reportedly visited Syria to join celebrations after Assad's downfall. His late father, Youssef al-Qaradawi, was a top and controversial Egyptian cleric revered by the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. He had lived in exile in Qatar for decades. — Lebanese security forces apprehended an armed group in the northern city of Tripoli that kidnapped a group of 26 Syrians who were recently smuggled into Lebanon, two Lebanese security officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information with the media. The Syrians included five women and seven children, and security officials are working to return them to Syria.

Indices end at record highs on tech rally, Powell comments

The Swans stunned Pride Park into silence with less than two minutes on the clock when Zan Vipotnik sent a bullet past Jacob Widell Zetterstrom before Ronald slotted home his first of the season in the 14th minute. Cyrus Christie brought Tom Barkhuizen down inside the box and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing dispatched the resulting penalty to cut the deficit in half and, despite piling on the pressure, Derby succumbed to a second home defeat of the season. Williams told a press conference: “We started the game very well, we were good up until we scored the second goal then we lost the grip on the game and I thought Derby were the better team. “The next thing for us we have to be able to maintain that level throughout the game and we weren’t able to do that to be quite honest today. “They made it difficult, reacted very well after the second goal and didn’t go under, far from it.” Swansea leapfrogged their opponents into the top half of the table with their sixth win of the season and took three points back to south Wales following two last-minute defeats by Burnley and Leeds heading into the match. Williams added: “We’ve recently conceded late goals but they’re a very resilient group and we saw it out in the end. “We’ve dominated games a lot but probably failed to score when we’ve been that dominant and tonight we managed to score the goals when we were dominant. “We scored the goals at the right time today.” Derby had been unbeaten in their last three matches coming into this one but Paul Warne put defeat down to a poor start. He said: “We conceded two and didn’t get close enough, weren’t aggressive enough, not enough body contact and looked soft, that’s my fault. “Maybe I didn’t message it properly. Sometimes it doesn’t come down to shape and tactics but I thought that was what the difference was. “Credit Swansea for the win but after the 25 mins it looked like we would score. I really enjoyed it, that’s the truth. I had 70 minutes of a team giving everything, I don’t think we’ve had that many attempts in the Championship this season. “It’s a rude awakening, last year we would’ve won that 4-2.”
