M&S hack: DragonForce cyber criminals sent abuse-filled ransom demand to retailer's CEO
Marks & Spencer hackers have reportedly sent an abuse-filled ransom demand to the retail giant's boss. The email was sent to M&S chief executive Stuart Machin in broken English on the April 23, according to the BBC. It is said to have been sent from the hacker group DragonForce using an employee email account. 'We have marched the ways from China all the way to the UK and have mercilessly raped your company and encrypted all the servers,' the hackers reportedly wrote. 'The dragon wants to speak to you so please head over to [our darknet website].' The email confirms for the first time that M&S has been hacked by the cybercriminal group. The BBC reports that the message includes a racist term and was sent to Mr Machin and seven other executives. The extortion email reportedly includes a darknet link connecting to a portal for DragonForce victims to begin negotiating the ransom fee. The hackers wrote: 'Let's get the party started. Message us, we will make this fast and easy for us.' M&S has refused to say whether they paid any ransom to the hackers. A spokesperson told The Standard: 'We cannot comment on details of or speculation on the cyber incident, and we have been advised not to.' The retailer was targeted by hackers over Easter, forcing it to stop taking online orders from customers and leaving shelves empty. M&S has said disruption from the 'highly sophisticated' cyber attack is expected to continue through to July, causing losses of around £300million.

Virginia-Highland residents on edge as 'Peeping Tom' lurks outside home
The Brief Residents in Virginia-Highland are on high alert due to a man seen lurking outside homes and peering into windows, raising safety concerns. Atlanta police briefly pursued the suspect after responding to a victim's home, noting similarities with another "peeping Tom" incident. Authorities urge anyone with information or similar experiences to come forward, as the suspect's identity remains unconfirmed. ATLANTA - Residents in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood say they are on high alert after a man was seen lurking outside homes and peering into windows, sometimes near bedrooms and bathrooms. At least two families report separate incidents involving the same individual, raising concerns throughout the community. What they're saying Alisha Brown, one of the victims, said her family's sense of safety has been shattered. "We're both on high alert," Brown said. "My son, he had to talk to his counselor today because he's been super hypervigilant and suspicious of everything and everyone around him." Brown said she woke up Wednesday morning to find the man standing just outside her bedroom window. "He would just stand here, which made me feel like he didn't want to be seen, but he could see into my bathroom," she recalled. Just two days earlier, Brown noticed the same man watching her while she was in the garden. "He made it all the way over and he saw me standing on my porch and then he jumped back," she said. Brown also recognized the man in Ring camera footage captured at a neighbor's home this week. "My heart dropped into my stomach again," she said. "It was him. It was him. It fit my description to a T." What we know Atlanta police responded to Brown's home on Wednesday and briefly pursued the suspect, but he got away. Authorities say there are similarities between this case and another recent "peeping Tom" incident, though they have not confirmed whether it is the same person. What's next Brown said she hopes going public will help police find the man. "I don't want this to happen to anyone else because it's very violating," she said. "It's hard to put into words. I wasn't touched, but I feel touched." What you can do Police are urging anyone with information or who has experienced similar activity to come forward. The man's face has been blurred in surveillance footage as authorities work to confirm his identity. The Source The Atlanta Police Department provided the details of the Peeping Tom case.

NATO Ally Reveals Mass Act of Unexplained Sabotage
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. There were around 30 as yet unexplained sabotage attacks on telecommunications infrastructure in Sweden, mostly along the same major road, authorities in the country have revealed. Nothing is stolen in the attacks on masts, but cables are cut and fuses and other technical equipment destroyed, Sweden's national public broadcaster SVT Nyheter reported, citing investigators. Swedish investigators have not publicly identified a suspect so far. The attacks are part of a broader trend of sabotage against Swedish telecoms infrastructure, and come amid reports from NATO allies of a significant increase in Russian espionage. The attacks began over Easter weekend, but have not led to major disruptions. However, it "stands out and is more than usual," Roger Gustafsson, head of security at the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), told SVT. Investigators are working on the theory that a single actor is behind the attacks, which mostly targeted infrastructure along the E22 in Sweden. The E22 is also known as the European Road, and is part of a road transport network that stretches for more than 3,300 miles, connecting the U.K. in the west to Russia in the east. Swedish security services are monitoring the investigation, and Detective Superintendent Håkan Wessung, head of serious crime in Sweden's Kalmar, told SVT that "we don't rule anything out". This is a developing article. Updates to follow.
