The proclamation says Tren de Aragua “is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States”, and so any person 14 years or older who is a Tren de Aragua member and who has neither US citizenship nor permanent residency can…

Security researchers have uncovered an extensive ad fraud scheme relying on hundreds of malicious Android applications hosted on Google Play that amassed over 60 million downloads. Dubbed Vapor, the campaign was initially flagged by IAS Threat Lab, which identified 180 malicious apps on Google Play designed to “deploy endless, intrusive full-screen interstitial video ads”. Masquerading as utility, health and fitness, and lifestyle applications, Vapor software infiltrated victims’ devices without raising suspicion: functional when submitted to Google Play, the applications were later updated to generate ad revenue. The updates, IAS explains in a report (PDF), completely removed the applications’ functionality, hid…

The Citizen Lab research group at the University of Toronto has conducted an analysis of attacks involving spyware developed by Israeli company Paragon Solutions, which led to the discovery of a zero-day vulnerability in Meta’s WhatsApp communications application.

NEW YORK (AP) — When Nikelle Inman started a new job coaching first-generation college students, she looked forward to meeting with them one-on-one to talk about how to surmount obstacles and find resources to succeed. Instead, she and her fellow success coaches at a community college in North Carolina spent a year mired in paperwork, tasked with reviewing applications from aspiring undergraduates. They never did get to meet with students.“Admissions work kind of took over what we were supposed to do,” Inman, 34, said. “I felt disengaged with the position, more so because I just didn’t feel valued.” It’s disorienting…
