Deadly crash leaves Garland County deputy hospitalized
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – A deadly crash Sunday left a Garland County Sheriff's Office deputy hospitalized and another man dead. Conditions were foggy before sunrise around 4:40 a.m. According to an Arkansas State Police crash report, 22-year-old Lane Murphy of Plumerville was heading north when he crossed the center line and struck 22-year-old Deputy Gavan Mason's patrol vehicle. Garland County deputy injured in fatal Sunday morning crash Mason's vehicle overturned after a collision, but Murphy went off the road and died at the scene. GCSO Public Information Officer Captain Joel Ware said Mason was rushed to CHI St. Vincent Hospital with internal injuries and a broken arm, which required surgery. 'Those affected by it, our hearts go out to him,' Ware said. 'For the damage to be as severe as it was pretty scary. Very fortunate that Deputy Mason is still here with us.' It is estimated that it will take 12 weeks before Deputy Mason can return to work. He was already on track to be moved out of the patrol car and into an investigator position. GCSO Chief Deputy Steven Elrod said Mason has that 'X factor.' 'He is a team player. He has great camaraderie. He is versatile in so many different areas. Wherever you need him, he's able to respond,' Elrod stated. Arkansas State Police trooper injured in Easter Sunday crash in Garland County Although Mason can't respond right now, the community and coworkers have to help the 22-year-old deputy with his medical and financial needs. Elrod said in the last year, the new stretch of Highway 5 where the crash happened has had 17 accidents. Garland County is collecting data to ask the Arkansas Department of Transportation what can be done to make the area safer. 'Deputy Mason certainly wasn't the first person to be injured out in that stretch. We want him to be the last if we can,' Elrod said. Arkansas Capitol police officer injured in hit-and-run crash Those willing to assist with Deputy Mason's recovery can make donations to any First Security Bank in his name.

What we know as M&S reopens website after major cyber attack
Marks & Spencer has reopened its website to customers after it was forced to halt internet orders in April following a damaging cyber attack. The retail giant said shoppers are now able to buy a selection of its best-selling fashion ranges and new products for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales. In a statement published on social media, M&S managing director of clothing, home and beauty John Lyttle said: 'More of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day, and we will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks. 'Thank you sincerely for your support and for shopping with us.' On 25 April, after the Easter weekend, M&S reported that it had become the victim of a cyber attack and suspended its online orders. Initially, the incident affected the contactless payment and click and collect orders, before M&S paused online orders through its app and website. The cyber attack even led to empty shelves in some M&S stores, as the company said there were "pockets of limited availability" in some of its shops. M&S revealed last month that the hack was caused by 'human error', and would cost it around £300 million. Chief executive Stuart Machin said on reporting annual figures in May that hackers gained access to the company's IT systems through a third party. He said at the time: 'We didn't leave the door open, this wasn't anything to do with under-investment. Everyone is vulnerable. For us, we were unlucky on this particular day through some human error.' M&S also revealed that some personal data had been stolen. It said: "As part of our proactive management of the incident, we have taken steps to protect our systems and engaged leading cyber security experts. We have also reported the incident to relevant government authorities and law enforcement, who we continue to work closely with. According to M&S, the data taken could include customers' names, date of birth, phone numbers, home addresses, email addresses and online order history. However, it said the breach did not include card payment details or account passwords. M&S said: "Importantly, the data does not include useable payment or card details, which we do not hold on our systems, and it does not include any account passwords. There is no evidence that this data has been shared." The firm would not say how many customers were affected by the attack, but that it is writing to everyone they have an email for. M&S had 9.4 million active online customers in the year to 30 March, according to its last full-year results. Following the breach, anyone with an M&S account were prompted to change their password after they logged in to the app or online. M&S said: "We have said to customers that there is no need to take any action. For extra peace of mind, they will be prompted to reset their password the next time they visit or log onto their M&S account and we have shared information on how to stay safe online." The hackers behind the M&S attack used the DragonForce cybercrime service, whose malicious software and website is available on the darknet to carry out attacks and what's sometimes called "double extortion". This means they steal a copy of their victims' data and also scramble it to make it unusable. The double extortion occurs when they then effectively ask for a ransom for both unscrambling the stolen data and for also deleting their copy of it so they won't sell it online. DragonForce's darknet website does not currently have any entries about M&S, the BBC reported. It is not known who is using DragonForce to attack M&S – it was also reportedly used to target the Co-op and Harrods recently, but a group of hackers called Scattered Spider have been linked to the breach. At the beginning of this month, the Information Commissioner's Office said it was looking into the attack, as well as a similar major incident involving the Co-op. Luxury department store Harrods also confirmed this month it had been affected by an attempted hack and had temporarily restricted internet access across its sites as a precautionary measure. The National Crime Agency has said it is investigating the attacks individually but is 'mindful they may be linked'. Experts told Yahoo News UK that cyber attacks on supermarkets are unlikely to stop. 'This sort of thing is likely to happen more often," said Paul Bischoff, consumer privacy advocate at UK software company Comparitech. "Ransomware is a proven way for cybercriminals to make money, and until that's no longer true, we'll continue to see ransomware attacks." Cody Barrow, chief executive of software firm EclecticIQ, said: "It highlights an alarming trend: attackers are becoming increasingly opportunistic, exploiting weaknesses across complex, highly interconnected supply chains."

Nevada unions, elected officials rally in support of ICE protests
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Amid the triple-degree heat, Las Vegas union members, workers and elected officials rallied in protest of escalating action from federal immigration agents—wary Nevada could be next. The afternoon rally was called together by Nevada's SEIU Local 1107 in solidarity with their California chapter following the arrest of SEIU president David Huerta. Federal authorities arrested Huerta for interfering with law enforcement operations during an anti-ICE protest. 'He was out exercising his constitutional rights, and they arrested him,' Erika Watanabe, a SEUI local 1107 member, said. 'They injured him, then arrested him, and then detained him.' Huerta was released Monday afternoon according to CBS News and is set to appear in court for initial appearance on one felony charge. The Las Vegas rally of over a hundred people at the steps of the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse featured speakers from ACLU-Nevada, Nevada Immigration Coalition, NAACP, Culinary Union, the office of Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, and Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom. 'If Trump wants to bring the National Guard into Las Vegas, he's going to destroy our economy forever,' Segerblom said. 'Because we're not going to just let the National Guard do anything. We're going to fight the National Guard.' Segerblom continued to express concerns about the possibility of National Guard troops becoming active in Nevada. 'Without undocumented workers, this town would shut down and if [Trump] wants to dare to bring the National Guard in here, or, even better, the Marines, this town is going to blow up,' he said. The Trump administration's efforts in California received some praise but mostly significant pushback. Tedd Pappageorge, the Culinary Union Secretary Treasurer responded to claims the federal government is responding to people simply breaking the law. 'No, it's actually not as simple as that,' he said. 'What's really going on is we have folks that have been here for five years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years. They're parts of the community. They go to our churches, their kids go to our schools, and they power this economy.' The Culinary Union cited additional concerns with alleged escalating ICE raids in Nevada pointing to the Nevada Immigration Coalition's post of 12 raids over the Easter weekend. 'What we know is that at the end of the day, the idea that these ICE agents are going to go to schools and churches and workplaces and take folks out that are otherwise law abiding,' Pappageorge said. 'Nobody voted for that. Everybody agrees there needs to be a secure border, and everybody agrees that violent criminals should be deported. But this is the United States of America. There has been due process.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
