Miami linebacker Adarius Hayes injured in crash that killed two children
Miami linebacker Adarius Hayes has been injured in a collision that killed two children on Saturday in his hometown of Largo, Florida.
A spokesperson for the Largo Police Department told ESPN that Jabari Elijah Solomon, 10, and Charlie Herbert Solomon Riveria, 4, were killed when a Kia Soul was making a left turn and collided with a Dodge Durango. Alcohol and drugs are not believed to have been a factor in the crash. The spokesperson did not say whether Hayes was a driver of either vehicle or whether he was related to the children.

'This is an ongoing and active investigation, and no further information is available for release at this time,' the spokesperson said in a statement.
The 20-year-old Hayes was one of the nation's top-rated linebackers coming out of high school and chose Miami after receiving offers from schools such as Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State. He played in 12 games in his freshman season in 2024, mostly on special teams, and recorded an interception against Florida A&M.
Other Miami players offered prayers for Hayes on social media on Saturday night.

5 things to know for June 16: Minnesota shootings, Israel-Iran, Russia-Ukraine, G7, Vaccines
Construction has begun at the White House to change the look of the Rose Garden. Located along the West Terrace and West Wing, the plot was created in 1903 by first lady Edith Roosevelt as a colonial-style garden. Ten years later, first lady Ellen Wilson had it transformed into the first Rose Garden. Now, most of the grass area has been dug up to build a new patio.

Sign up here for the '5 Things' newsletter. The largest manhunt in Minnesota's history has ended. Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested Sunday for allegedly killing Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, over the weekend. The manhunt involved 'hundreds of detectives' and 20 different SWAT teams as well as cooperation from a host of local, state and federal agencies. Law enforcement also used helicopters, surveillance drones and infrared technology to locate and capture the suspect in the woods of rural Sibley County. Boelter was wearing a mask and dressed like a police officer during the attacks. Inside his vehicle, police discovered survival gear and a hit list of nearly 70 names, including Democrats and people with ties to abortion rights. He has been charged with two counts of murder in the second degree and two counts of attempted murder in the second degree. For the fourth day in a row, Israel and Iran have continued to launch waves of attacks at each other. Israel's strikes have hit numerous military targets, the foreign ministry building and residential areas in Tehran. Iran's retaliatory strikes have damaged or destroyed residential buildings and infrastructure, including an Israeli oil refinery and part of the power grid. Search and rescue teams are digging through the rubble left by the bombardments to find victims buried underneath the debris. Amid international pleas for diplomacy and de-escalation, death tolls on both sides continue to climb due to the rapidly escalating hostilities. Officials say Israel's operation against Iran is expected to take 'weeks, not days.' Russia has initiated a new tactic in its war on Ukraine: large-scale drone attacks. Last fall, Russia ramped up production of the Iranian-designed Shahed drone and is now building hundreds of them every day. It has also boosted production of decoy drones, which are difficult to distinguish from the real thing. 'So, either Ukrainian forces spend time trying to identify the decoys or they spend precious resources shooting them down. Either way, this helps the Russian missiles and Shaheds — with their large payloads — (as they) have the chance to get through to their targets,' Christina Harward, a Russia analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, said. In recent weeks, Russia has used these drones to engage in bigger and more frequent assaults on Ukrainian cities, sometimes firing as many as 479 drones and missiles at targets in a single night. According to a CNN tally, seven of Moscow's largest drone attacks in its war on Ukraine occurred in the past four weeks. President Donald Trump arrived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Sunday night in advance of the G7, the first international summit of his second administration. Leaders at the gathering are expected to discuss Trump's trade war and international security, such as Israel's unprecedented strike on Iran, Russia's war on Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war. Trump also plans to meet individually with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. A document the Department of Health and Human Services sent to members of Congress to support Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to change US policy on Covid vaccines cited scientific studies that were unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterized others, KFF Health News reported. Kennedy announced last month that the CDC would no longer recommend Covid vaccines for pregnant women or healthy children. The move was decried by many major medical groups and questioned by some lawmakers. One health expert called the document 'willful medical disinformation.' 'It is so far out of left field that I find it insulting to our members of Congress that they would actually give them something like this,' said Mark Turrentine, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine. 'Congress members are relying on these agencies to provide them with valid information, and it's just not there.'

This New Ransomware Can Irrevocably Destroy Your Files — Backup Now
Anubis rasnomware can destroy your files. Forever. As if the threat from high-profile ransomware actors wasn't critical enough, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation issuing warnings as attacks skyrocket, and ransoms follow suit with, on occasion, ridiculously eye-watering payments demanded, a new ransomware-as-a-service platform has just upped the stakes since again. This time, as well as stealing your data and encrypting your files, the Anubis attackers install a custom wiper that can permanently and irrevocably destroy them at the whim of the hackers. There has been some notable success in disrupting ransomware attackers of late, with devastating strikes by the FBI and Secret Service as well as hackers attacking some of the leading organized ransomware criminal groups. The problem is that as one group is disrupted or disbands, another rises to take their place in the cybercriminal hierarchy. And these groups often bring new and worrying attack tactics with them. Such is the case with the Anubis ransomware-as-a-service platform. 'Anubis is an emerging ransomware-as-a-service group that adds a destructive edge to the typical double-extortion model with its file-wiping feature,' Trend Micro threat researchers Maristel Policarpio, Sarah Pearl Camiling and Sophia Nilette Robles, said in a new report that takes a deep technical dive into the workings of the latest ransomware threat. In an attempt to both set itself apart from other ransomware-as-a-service operations and twist the victim extortion leverage knife even further, Anubis employs a file wiper that, the researchers said, is 'designed to sabotage recovery efforts even after encryption.' This wiper uses a /WIPEMODE parameter to permanently delete the file contents and prevent any attempts at recovery. We know that the Anubis attackers employ a number of methods to deploy the ransomware and execute its feature set, including phishing, command line execution and privilege escalation, not to mention the file-wiping capabilities already discussed. Mitigation strategies, therefore, are relatively straightforward. Let's start with the big one, to mitigate the file-wiper impact. Backup and backup now. Ensuring that you have current offline and even off-site backups is your best defense against the Anubis eraser ransomware. The remainder are nothing new either, as Trend Micro points out: Do all of this and, suddenly, the Anubis ransomware threat becomes a lot less scary. Which isn't the same as saying it can be dismissed, as that would be a very poor and dangerous business decision indeed.
