Chilling footage of the horrific moment five hooded thugs hammered, stabbed and shot a man - as new details are revealed about exactly WHAT the savages were hunting
Confronting footage has emerged of the terrifying moment five masked intruders held a grandmother at gunpoint before launching a brutal assault on her cousin. Birsel Akbulut, 57, and her cousin Kemal Akbulut, 60, were sleeping inside their Gladstone Park home in Melbourne just before 1.30am on July 24 when the men armed with a hammer, a knife and a firearm stormed inside. Mr Akbalut confronted the intruders in the kitchen before they placed a firearm in his mouth and made demands for cash. Graphic CCTV footage from inside the home depicted the hooded intruders repeatedly beating and stabbing Mr Akbalut as he pleaded with them to stop. 'This is what happens when you f*** with us,' one intruder could be heard yelling as the other men took turns attacking the bloodied man. 'Please, I can't take any more. Take whatever you want,' he pleaded after the men demanded he hand over his wallet. Mr Akbalut was forced to sit up from the ground as one man demanded the passcode to his mobile phone. 'F*** the phone,' one intruder demanded, attempting to pull away his accomplice as he struggled to unlock the device. Ms Akbulut, who was also threatened with a gun, claimed that intruders were looking for her daughter's partner, Ibrahim Al-Sayah, who doesn't live at the home. Al-Sayah previously pleaded guilty over his role in a drive-by shooting at a Melbourne bakery in July 2020 where he acted as the getaway driver. Ms Akbulut described Al-Sayah as a 'piece of s***' in an explosive interview with Seven News following the home invasion. 'He likes acting like a gangster. This is not a movie, lad. It's not a f***ing movie,' she said, before adding that her 22-year-old daughter has since gone into hiding. 'I'm just waiting for the police to knock (on) the door and say to me: "Your daughter's shot" or "your daughter's been killed",' she said. Ms Akbalut, who was nursing a swollen, bruised face during the interview, called on the state government to crack down on violent crime. 'Enough is enough,' she yelled, adding: 'You always say you're going to do something about it... do something about it.' The offenders fled the Gladstone Park home in a white Haval SUV. Three weeks on, the police manhunt for the intruders continues. No arrests or charges have yet been laid. 'The investigation remains ongoing,' a Victoria Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail on Friday.

The Elite Microsoft Unit Constantly Working to Thwart Hackers
The clues that hackers had broken into a major US telecom were almost imperceptible — like tiny undulations in a river's current. To the company, the ripples looked like normal traffic, according to a person familiar with the attack. But to threat analysts at Microsoft Corp., they pointed to the presence of intruders. At the time, there was no way of assessing the seriousness of the breach. Months of detective work lay ahead. But the potential harm was clear, according to the person, who says even tiny waves could presage downstream devastation.
