On its Telegram channel, the SiegedSec group claimed that its NATO hack has nothing to do with the war between Russia and Ukraine, and it is merely highlighting human rights abuses by NATO.

The hacktivist group “SiegedSec” has launched a cyber attack on NATO, claiming to compromise its COI portal and subsequently leaking hundreds of sensitive documents intended for NATO countries and partners. The data also contains full names, email addresses, phone numbers, office addresses, and ranks of at least 70 NATO officials.

This latest attack showcases the group’s increasing aggression and proficiency in breaching high-profile targets.

Coming on the heels of ShadowVault, a new infostealer malware dubbed “Realst” is being implemented into fake blockchain games by cybercriminals in a massive campaign targeting Windows and macOS users, including those on macOS 14 Sonoma.

First discovered by security researcher iamdeadlyz earlier this month, the infostealer malware is being spread among Windows and macOS users via fake blockchain games such as Brawl Earth, WildWorld, Dawnland, Destruction, Evolion, Pearl, Olymp of Reptiles, and SaintLegend.

An analysis by SentinelOne found that not only was the new malware written in Rust, a highly praised up-and-coming programming language, but some variants are already targeting macOS 14 Sonoma ahead of its public release in the fall.

Threads is about to get vastly more useful as Meta has started rolling out the option to see a chronological feed of posts from the people you follow. Many observers said this was a key feature Threads needed to truly compete with Twitter, long a vital source of real-time information. But as Twitter (sorry, X) owner Elon Musk continues to reduce his app to rubble, Threads is looking like a more viable destination for up-to-the-minute news and updates.

You’ll need to update to the latest version of Threads to see the chronological feed, but it might not appear for you immediately. To switch between the For You and Following feed, tap the Threads logo or the home icon and you can swipe from one to the other.

Kevin Spacey has been cleared of all nine charges of sexual assault against four men in his U.K. criminal trial.

After more than 12 hours of deliberation, the jury at London’s Southwark Crown Court reached the verdict on Wednesday afternoon. The judge, Justice Mark Wall, concluded that the “defendant may be discharged,” ending more than a year since the high-profile trial, the biggest the U.K. has seen that had arisen from the MeToo movement, was called.

Spacey, for whom July 26 also marked his 64th birthday, reportedly wept on hearing the news.
