Oman: 6 arrested for possession of over 55kg of crystal meth, marijuana
The men possessed over 32 kg of crystal meth and 23 kg of marijuana, and were of Asian origin, according to the police.
The arrest was carried out by the Directorate General for Combating Drugs and Psychotropic Substances in the Gulf country. Legal procedures are being carried out on those arrested.
Earlier this month, two individuals were caught smuggling narcotics through a shipping company in Oman. They were trying to ship 15 kg of opium to a European country.
The Directorate General for Combating Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of Oman were inspecting a shipment of water pumps brought into the country when they found the drugs professionally concealed.
In Dubai, a man was sentenced to five years in prison, a Dh50,000 fine, and deportation, after it was found that he bought drugs for his wife. Court records showed that he purchased the narcotics from an unknown dealer via a social media platform.

UAE health sector targeted in sophisticated ransomware attack, says Sophos official
Mayuresh Kothari of Sophos explains how a Conti offshoot is exploiting healthcare networks — and why proactive incident response is essential. Recent cyberattacks on the UAE's health sector have exposed the growing threat posed by ransomware groups targeting critical infrastructure. The latest incident, linked to the emerging Gunra group—believed to be a reconstitution of the dismantled Conti gang—used double extortion tactics involving the theft and encryption of sensitive personal and medical data. According to Mayuresh Kothari, Advisory Solution Principal at Sophos, the attackers exploited legitimate administrative tools to evade detection and launch a highly disruptive campaign. In this interview with Kothari explores the threat landscape, the importance of engaging expert incident response teams, and why proactive cybersecurity planning is essential. He also outlines how Sophos is helping organisations in the Middle East improve readiness through integrated solutions and local investment. Interview Excerpts: Could you provide an overview of the recent cyberattacks targeting the UAE health sector? Based on publicly available information from X (formerly Twitter) and claims made by the threat group on leak sites, this incident appears to be a form of double extortion. The threat actor was able to first circumvent the security controls to establish presence in the network before starting to identify critical data, exfiltrate it out and lastly, encrypt. Since the threat actor claims to have stolen millions of records containing PII, PCI, and healthcare data, the potential consequences of this exposure are serious. The ransom demand includes payment for both data decryption and to prevent the public release of the stolen information. Can you share more information about the threat group responsible? The threat actor group known as Gunra has been active since early this year. Indicators suggest that this group has emerged from the remains of the Conti ransomware group, which was recently disrupted by law enforcement agencies. At Secureworks, we have classified Conti under the codename Gold Ulrick. Their modus operandi involves leveraging windows administrator tools to hide malicious activities prior to conducting extortion operations. What actions should organisations under attack take to effectively mitigate the impact of incidents like these? This is a complex issue without a simple solution. To begin with, impacted organisations should engage professional incident response (IR) teams with comprehensive expertise in all aspects of managing such incidents. For instance, Secureworks, now part of Sophos, offers specialised services tailored to these needs. When an organization engages us during an active incident, we begin by identifying the root cause or patient zero of the attack and then remove the threat actor and any associated artifacts. We also provide guidance to prevent future attacks. Our support extends to ransom negotiation, regulatory and communication advice around disclosure or with regulators, and establishing a long-term response program. Is this the only approach, or are there preventative measures organisations can implement today to proactively defend against such threats? Cybersecurity is a multi-faceted discipline that organisations must approach as an ongoing program, one that is regularly reviewed, tested, improved, and repeated. Numerous frameworks today help assess the maturity and effectiveness of such programs. However, cybersecurity is always a team effort. It cannot be done in isolation. The foundation begins with strong preventative and policy enforcement controls. Take Sophos Endpoint Protection and Firewalls, for example. With nearly 40 years of experience delivering cutting-edge security controls, our approach known as Synchronised Security provides integrated, highly efficient protection. However, prevention is just the starting point. We must always hope for the best but prepare for the worst. That's where detection-based mechanisms become essential such as Vulnerability Management, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and Managed Detection and Response (MDR). And even then, the process isn't complete. 'Cybersecurity must be treated as a continuous program. This is where our Proactive Incident Response services lead the way, ensuring organisations are not just reacting to threats, but actively preparing for them.' What do you mean by Proactive Incident Response? Isn't incident response typically a reactive process?Incident Response (IR) is not just the act of responding to a threat after it occurs. It also involves preparing for potential incidents in advance. This means having plans in place, conducting regular testing, and clearly defining the initial steps to be taken in the event of an attack. To put it into perspective, think of how emergency response works in the real world. Many workplaces designate first responders who wear high visibility jackets and helmets so they can be easily identified during an emergency. These individuals are trained to use fire extinguishers, guide people to exits, and manage the initial response to a crisis. Cyber IR functions in the same way. Proactive services often delivered through a retainer focuses on this preparedness. It involves training internal first response teams on the actions to take during an incident: how to contain the threat, prevent its spread, and reduce the risk of data exfiltration. Beyond training, proactive retainers help organisations establish and review their incident response plans, define industry-specific playbooks, and conduct both technical and non-technical exercises. These activities help security teams identify gaps in their current processes and improve their overall readiness. How does Sophos differentiate itself from other vendors offering similar solutions? We are uniquely positioned to provide end-to-end solutions with tried and test capabilities across endpoint, network, cloud and services. Our secure by design and practice approach has consistently delivered results, and we remain committed to supporting the region through continued investment. Our latest initiative is the launch of a dedicated data center in the UAE, which will enable us to meet local data residency requirements while continuing to provide world-class security solutions tailored to our customers' needs.

Senior Israel National Cyber Directorate official arrested on suspicion of paedophilia
Israeli media has reported that a senior official in the Israel National Cyber Directorate was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of online paedophilia. According to a report on the Israeli news website Ynet, Tom Alexandrovich, 38, was arrested for questioning by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department during a conference he had attended on behalf of the cyber directorate last week. He was arrested along with seven other suspects as part of "a multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators [which] led to the arrest of eight individuals over the past two weeks", Las Vegas police said in a statement. The suspects, according to local police, "face felony charges of Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act". The Israel National Cyber Directorate, which is supervised by the Prime Minister's Office, said in response: "The employee informed the Directorate that during his trip to the United States he was questioned by the US authorities on matters not related to work matters, and returned to Israel on the scheduled date of return. "The Directorate has not yet received additional details through the authorised channels. If it receives, the Directorate will act accordingly. "At this stage, in a joint decision, the employee went on leave to deal with the matter until things will become clear." However, Ynet reported that, contrary to the directorate's statement, Las Vegas police documents indicate that Alexandrovich - head of the cyber directorate's technological defence division - was arrested in the US. According to the report, the Israeli senior official was released on $10,000 bail after appearing before a judge. "The documents indicate that Alexandrovich is suspected of seducing a mentally ill child using computer technology to have sex," Ynet said. In response, the Israel National Cyber Directorate added that it "was not involved in any matter related to the bail". Israel Police refused to comment on Alexandrovich's situation after his return to the country, saying: "As a rule, any complaint or information that raises suspicion of committing a criminal offence is examined by the police, and where there is a reasonable basis for suspicion that a criminal offence has been committed, an investigation is opened in accordance with each case and its circumstances. "We do not provide details regarding the existence or non-existence of investigations, and this does not confirm or deny their existence." The case comes after another senior Israeli official was accused of inappropriate behaviour. Israel's ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Yossi Shelley, was recalled last month after senior Emirati officials complained of inappropriate conduct. Shelley, who served as director general of the Prime Minister's Office before becoming ambassador to the UAE, is considered close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A senior Israeli foreign ministry official told Channel 12 on Saturday that "the subject he talks about all the time in an exaggerated way is prostitutes", adding: "That's what he tells everyone about, that's what he likes to talk about the most." According to the report, Shelley used to go to "dubious places" during his time in the UAE. When Emirati officials sought to coordinate these visits, "Shelley went wild and just attacked the security guards by shouting: 'You won't lock me up.'"

UAE businessman recounts chilling 39-hour kidnapping ordeal in India
A UAE-based businessman who was kidnapped while on a short vacation in India has opened up about his experience. VP Shameer described his 39-hour ordeal where, according to him, he was beaten, choked, deprived of food and badgered for money. He said that he was worried for his family and didn't think he would see them again. 'I thought about my daughter and wife while I was being held in captivity,' he told Khaleej Times on a call from India. 'I thought I would never see them again. I was worried about their safety. That is all that was on my mind. The people who held me had no mercy and were ready to do anything for money. It was the prayers of my loved ones and my staff that brought me back.' According to Shameer, who runs a chain of pharmacies in the UAE, he had returned to his hometown in the southern Indian state of Kerala for a short vacation when the incident occurred. He claimed that the kidnappers made ransom demands to his business partner and warned his wife to withdraw the police complaint she had lodged. Shameer said the case stemmed from a dispute involving a restaurant based in Al Barsha. 'In 2023, a UAE court ruled in my favor awarding me compensation of Dh675,000,' he said. 'However, those involved in it had been threatening me for a while asking me to withdraw the case. Earlier this year, we slapped a travel ban on them and an arrest warrant because the outstanding dues had not been settled.' He alleged that the accused in the case got closer to one of his disgruntled former employees, who was fired for misconduct in 2022. 'They then roped in a few other former employees and began to spread toxic information about me,' he said. 'This was something we were aware of but we didn't expect them to escalate it like this and actually kidnap me.' Abducted near home Shameer said he was driving his motorcycle in a gully, just 50 meters away from his home, when a white SUV drove in front of him and blocked his way. A group of men allegedly got out and demanded that he get into the vehicle. Another car parked behind him to prevent him from getting away. The CCTV footage of the incident shows that it took place at 7.52pm IST on Thursday. 'One of the men hit me and I fell,' he recalled. 'They then forcibly carried me into the SUV. From the vehicle several men hit me. One person put a shirt around my neck and held it from behind. So if I reacted to their (attacks) in any way, the man would tighten the shirt and choke me. They demanded that I pay them a total of Dh1.5 million as ransom and to withdraw the travel ban and arrest warrant of the accused in the Barsha restaurant case.' According to him, the men switched off all their phones and continued driving for hundreds of kilometres. 'From glimpses of signages and looking at the buses, I knew they were taking me to the southern part of Kerala,' he said. Shameer said that on Wednesday morning at 9, two of the men switched on their phones and realized that the abduction had made it to the news. 'They started to panic and then hit me some more for it becoming so highly publicized,' he said. 'They then called my partner and my wife asking her to withdraw the case.' Rescue operation His captors allegedly changed cars with him twice and once stopped at a house, all the while continuing to negotiate with him. He said they lowered their demands twice when he told them he couldn't pay the full amount- going down to Dh800,000 eventually. 'First they asked for cheque leaves and then changed their minds saying they wanted cash,' he said. 'When I said I would need to return to the UAE to get that much cash to them, they started to lose patience.' 'The kidnappers had told me that they would kill me as soon as we crossed the border,' he said. 'It would have taken a lot of time for the police of both states to liaise with each other and then initiate a search and rescue operation for me. I was beginning to losing hope as we drew closer to the border.' According to Shameer, it was on Thursday morning after 11 that Kerala Police dramatically rescued him from Kollam — more than 300 kilometers away from where he was kidnapped. 'The police were not sure which of the two vehicles I was in. So they pulled up to the front of the car after a high-speed chase,' he said. 'They then arrested the men and rescued me. If they were even half an hour late, we would have crossed the border into the state of Tamil Nadu, where they had threatened to kill me. It felt like the longest 39 hours of my life.' He credited Kerala Police for their intense efforts to rescue him. 'They spent the entire night in my house questioning my family and going through my records to find a motive,' he said. 'They then split into three squads to trace the movements of my kidnappers and find them. I am very grateful for their efforts.'
