Get your cues for ocean-inspired fashion here
We are a little over a week away from celebrating World Ocean's Day that is celebrated annually on 8 June. The central theme for the year is 'Sustainable Fishing Means More…" to raise awareness about sustainable fishing practices that will ensure the 'the health and abundance of marine resources for generations to come" states the Marine Stewardship Council. As conversations around protecting our oceans continue to gain ground year on year, it would also be timely to talk about how the expansive ocean and the marine life it holds in its depths have inspired fashion designers over the years. The 'mermaidcore' aesthetic that comes in iridescent colours and uses motifs of seashells and clams and pearls was a popular micro-trend a few years back. But every year, the refreshing tones of the ocean, from sea green to deep blue, and fascinating sea life including seahorses, starfishes, dolphins, whales, clown fishes and even sea weed have all been embroidered, stitched, moulded or painted onto multiple silhouettes. Lounge's round up shows you how you can add elements of marine life to add a splash of whimsy and joy into your wardrobe. Also read: Want to add a touch of Art Deco to your wardrobe?

184M passwords for Google, Apple and more exposed in major data breach
The Brief A cybersecurity researcher found a mysterious database that was publicly exposed and included more than 184 million passwords. The login information and passwords included Google, Apple, Microsoft products, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Roblox, and "many more." Some of the passwords were linked to government portals that could "put exposed individuals at serious risk," he said. More than 184 million passwords and other login information – including Google, Apple and government accounts – were exposed through a mysterious, publicly exposed database that has since been taken offline. In a recent blog post, Jeremiah Fowler, a longtime cybersecurity researcher, said the database wasn't password-protected or encrypted, and it had 184.2 million logins and passwords – more than 47 Gigabytes of raw data. What we know Fowler believes the exposed data may have been obtained by using a type of "infostealer malware," a malicious software that can infect a system and extract sensitive information, like the kind stored in web browsers, email accounts and messaging apps. RELATED: Medusa ransomware: CISA issues email security warning The database is hosted by World Host Group, a company that manages operating systems for more than 2 million websites, according to Wired. But this mysterious trove of logins and other personal information is "an unmanaged server" fully controlled by a fraudulent user, the company said. What we don't know Fowler hasn't confirmed exactly how the data was collected, but he says there's a lot of evidence pointing to the info-stealing malware. Cybercriminals often deploy the malware through phishing emails, malicious websites or cracked software, he said. The stolen data is typically shared on the dark web and Telegram channels or used to commit fraud, identity theft or more cyber attacks. What they're saying "The database contained login and password credentials for a wide range of services, applications, and accounts, including email providers, Microsoft products, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Roblox, and many more," Fowler wrote. "I also saw credentials for bank and financial accounts, health platforms, and government portals from numerous countries that could put exposed individuals at significant risk." Why you should care Fowler said millions of people keep years' worth of sensitive information in their email accounts – including tax documents, medical records, passwords and more. If cybercriminals have access, you are at risk of having your data stolen. What you can do Fowler recommends keeping track of which sensitive data is stored in your email account and deleting emails that contain important files. He said to use an encrypted cloud storage method instead of email if you have to share personal information. If you're still using the same passwords on multiple accounts and devices, you're making it easier for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access by using automated scripts to try login and password combinations for thousands of websites. "Even if one account is still active and they gain unauthorized access, it could create serious security risks and open the door to a wide range of potential attacks," Fowler wrote.

Enter the Versace Women's Tortoise Brown Sunglasses, the ultimate blend of old Hollywood glamour, modern-day cool, and unapologetic luxury. At first glance, they might whisper elegance. But after a closer look, that sultry tortoiseshell finish, the oversized yet not overwhelming silhouette, and that unmistakable gold Medusa on the temples scream confidence, sophistication, and a little bit of 'don't mess with me.'

Even if your day only consists of an oat milk latte and a walk in the park, these sunglasses transform the mundane into a moment. These chic frames are dramatic enough to wear with a flowing silk dress on vacation in Positano, yet refined enough to pair with a trench coat and sleek bun for a power walk through Manhattan.

Iranian man pleads guilty to 2019 Baltimore ransomware attack
He faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced in August, the Justice Department announced. Gholinejad and unidentified co-conspirators were behind a string of ransomware attacks between January 2019 and March 2024, according to an April 2024 indictment unsealed on May 27. The Justice Department said Gholinejad and his co-conspirators encrypted files on the targeted networks with the Robbinhood ransomware variant to extort ransom payments. The conspirators compromised the computer networks of health care organizations, corporations, and other entities across the United States, according to the Justice Department. The cyberattacks also targeted several U.S. cities, including Baltimore in the high-profile 2019 ransomware attack, and caused "significant disruptions" to essential city services, federal authorities said. The Justice Department added that the conspirators "used the damage they caused these cities to threaten subsequent victims." Though court documents did not allege a state-backed connection in this case, federal authorities have warned in recent years of Iranian government hacking groups targeting U.S. critical infrastructure and private-sector entities. Federal agencies have also issued numerous advisories for cyberattacks by foreign groups, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. In November 2023, an Iranian-linked cyber group, Cyber Av3ngers, hacked into the water authority infrastructure in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. The group took partial control of a system that regulates water pressure, and one that includes technology manufactured in Israel. At the time, federal authorities said the group was looking to disrupt Israeli-made technology in the United States. Here's how to stay protected. Officials warn against dangerous Medusa ransomware attacks. Conspirators used hacking tools to gain access to computer networks Federal authorities said Gholinejad and his co-conspirators gained unauthorized access to computer networks with hacking tools. They copied, transmitted, and stored information and files from the infected victim networks to virtual private servers controlled by the conspirators, according to the indictment. The conspirators also deployed Robbinhood ransomware on targeted computers to encrypt files and make them inaccessible to the victims, the indictment states. They then extorted victims by requiring the payment of Bitcoin in exchange for the private key used to decrypt the victims' computer files. The Justice Department said the conspirators attempted to launder the ransom payments through cryptocurrency mixing services and by moving assets between different types of cryptocurrencies. According to the indictment, the conspirators concealed their identities and activities through various methods, such as the use of virtual private networks and servers that they controlled. The attack on Baltimore in 2019 cost the city more than $19 million from damage to computer networks and disruptions to city services that lasted many months, including the processing of property taxes, water bills, parking citations, and other revenue-generating functions, the Justice Department said. Additional victims include computer networks in the cities of Gresham, Oregon; Yonkers, New York; and Greenville, North Carolina, along with the Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District in California and the nonprofit Berkshire Farm Center and Services for Youth, based in New York, according to the indictment. "Gholinejad and his co-conspirators -- all of whom were overseas -- caused tens of millions of dollars in losses and disrupted essential public services by deploying the Robbinhood ransomware against U.S. cities, health care organizations, and businesses," Matthew R. Galeotti, head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, said in a statement. "The ransomware attack against the City of Baltimore forced the city to take hundreds of computers offline and prevented the city from performing basic functions for months," Galeotti added.
