Lubbock hit by cyberattack last week that knocked off websites, says Texas Attorney General
The Office of the Texas Attorney General has confirmed the City of Lubbock has been hit by a cyber attack. According to an OAG's "Catastrophe Notice," it says "Lubbock experienced a cyber attack beginning Tuesday, August 12, 2025, which resulted in the shutting down of all systems and its resources for fulfilling Public Information Requests." The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal first reported that "network issues" were plaguing the City of Lubbock's websites, knocking out most of its websites — including those of the Lubbock Police Department and Lubbock Fire Rescue around 3 p.m. on Aug. 12. However, the city sent a screenshot of a press release on social media that the livestream of the Lubbock City Council Meeting was being disrupted and would later be published on the city's YouTube page. A few hours later, the City of Lubbock confirmed that it had taken offline all of its websites due to "a potential security concern." On Wednesday, the City of Lubbock confirmed to the A-J that its IT department had restored most of the city websites and the pubic safety websites. Finally, in a filing from Lubbock Assistant Attorney Rachael Foster to the Texas OAG, the City of Lubbock confirmed that a cyberattack hit it. It is currently unknown what extent the cyberattack on the City of Lubbock has reached or if any sensitive data has been exposed.

One OTA employee killed, second injured in I-44 crash near Miami
MIAMI, Okla. — A crash involving a tractor-trailer rig killed an Oklahoma Turnpike Authority worker Monday on Interstate 44 in Ottawa County and seriously injured a second OTA worker. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the eastbound I-44 lane near Miami had to be closed for a few hours Monday as officers investigated the crash and cleaned up the site. The patrol said its preliminary investigation indicates that a semitruck traveling eastbound drifted off the roadway to the right, striking an Oklahoma Turnpike Authority employee who was on foot collecting debris. The truck then struck a parked authority vehicle that had another employee inside. The employee on foot was killed. The employee inside the authority vehicle was transported to a Joplin hospital for treatment. The semitruck driver was uninjured and has been cooperative with the investigation. He told investigators that he had dropped a device and was attempting to retrieve it when he drifted from the roadway, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority released a statement Monday saying the employee identifying the employee who was killed as Zac Rinehart. The injured worker has not been identified. The authority said the crash occurred in a maintenance work zone. Rinehart had been employed by Oklahoma Turnpike Authority as part of the Will Rogers Turnpike maintenance crew for two years. 'This loss is felt by each of his co-workers statewide and OTA extends its deepest sympathy to the Rinehart family,' the authority wrote. 'We ask that Oklahomans keep Rinehart, his family and his injured co-worker in their thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.' Rinehart was also a volunteer firefighter with the Vinita Fire Department, which memorialized him on its Facebook page. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said this was 'a preventable tragedy.' 'Nothing is more important than focusing on what is happening in front of you and around you while driving,' the patrol said on its Facebook page. 'A single moment of distraction can cost lives and change families forever. The men and women who maintain and protect our highways are our partners. OTA crews are always quick to provide assistance when we call, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol values the strong connection we share with them in serving the public. The troopers who work alongside these crews on the turnpikes will deeply feel this loss.' Solve the daily Crossword

South Sudanese exiles face uncertain future after release from prison in neighboring Sudan
RENK, South Sudan -- As a young man in the mid-1980s, Daud Mahmoud Abdullah left his home in Aweil in South Sudan and headed north. It was a time of war. South Sudan was still part of Sudan and was fighting for independence, in a conflict that would claim about 2 million lives. He never went back. But now, aged 60 and after 6 months in a Sudanese prison, he is closer to home than he's been in 40 years. This July, he finally crossed the border back into his native South Sudan, taking a deep breath and reminding himself, 'I am alive.' After everything that has happened to him, it feels like a miracle. Sudan — once his place of refuge — has been embroiled in a brutal civil war since April 2023 that has killed 40,000 people and displaced nearly 13 million more, according to UN agencies. Abdullah lived in the town of Wad Madani, capital of Al Jazirah State, about 135km (85 miles) south of Khartoum. There had been incursions into the area by the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary force once known as the Janjaweed who were notorious for mass killings, rapes and other atrocities in Darfur two decades ago. More recently, the RSF have again been accused of by the International Criminal Court of committing war crimes, including the attacks on famine-hit Zamzam and other camps in North Darfur. In January, the Sudanese Armed Forces began recapturing parts of Al Jazirah state from the RSF — and making sweeping arrests. Abdullah got caught up in the incursions on his way home from the market: he was picked up by SAF soldiers and accused of cooperating with the RSF. Abdullah says that he was 'beaten, tortured and burned with cigarettes' to make him confess. Although he never made a confession, he was thrown in prison. In a report released in March, the top U.N. human rights body detailed how both the SAF and the RSF have detained tens of thousands of people 'without charge, with limited or no contact with their families, in squalid and overcrowded facilities' in 'a widespread pattern of arbitrary detention, torture, and ill-treatment.' Abdullah can attest to this. He remembers inmates dying from starvation, beatings or illnesses like cholera on a daily basis. One morning, he discovered that 28 of his fellow inmates had died in the night. For the next three days the bodies lay inside his cell, and the soldiers refused to remove them. 'Even when you shouted to them,' said Abdullah, 'they would tell you, 'if you want to die also, you can die with them.'' The Associated Press spoke to eight men in total, some of whom were detained in other prisons in Al Jazirah State and Khartoum. All recounted nightmarish conditions during their incarceration. They described being crammed into cells alongside hundreds of other prisoners. Cells were so crowded that they were forced to sleep with their knees tucked under their chin. Beatings occurred regularly; one said he lost the use of his right eye as a result. One man, Michael Deng Dut, 29, said he had been 'tortured with electricity more than 18 times.' Simon Tong, 39, said that he was tortured with a knife during an interrogation, and rolled up his sleeve to expose the scars on his arm. Many of the men said they were given only a handful of food and a small cup of water once a day. 'This is the reason many of us passed away,' said Tong, 'because of the lack of food and water.' In July, 99 South Sudanese prisoners were separated from the other inmates. As the men awaited their fate, one died, reducing their number to 98. On July 28, they were bundled into a bus and driven away, not knowing where they were going. 'They did not tell us they were going to release us,' says Abdullah. He didn't realize where he was until they reached the South Sudanese border and were taken to Renk, the country's northernmost town, by South Sudanese officials. Though still far from home, Abdullah was back in his own country for the first time in 40 years. The border town of Renk has become a hub for South Sudanese nationals trying to get home. When the Sudanese civil war broke out in 2023, UN agencies and the South Sudanese government established an onward transportation program which has moved more than 250,000 people, according to the UN's International Office of Migration. On June 1, 2025, the program was suspended due to global cuts to humanitarian funding. The number of people living in and around a transit center in Renk has since swelled to 12,000, roughly six times its intended capacity. Thousands are living in makeshift shelters made of sticks and cloth. But for Abdullah, arriving in Renk was a moment of overwhelming joy after months of torture and uncertainty. He was overcome to see his wife, daughter, and younger brother waiting for him. His wife had decided to take his family south after his younger brother had been arrested and released by SAF for the third time. 'When I saw Abdullah, I thanked God,' she said. 'We did not expect to see him alive again.' Abdullah now hopes to return to Aweil, the town where he was born. He still has family in Sudan, and is trying to contact them so that they might join him in Renk. 'If they come back safely, then we plan to go to Aweil,' he said. 'All of us, together.'
