Kuwait authorities bust criminal network manufacturing methanol which killed several Asians
Kuwaiti authorities arrested those involved in a criminal network which manufactured and distributed the toxic substance methanol, which recently caused the deaths of a number of people from the Asian community. The Ministry of Interior said that field investigations resulted in the arrest of an Asian suspect in Salmiya who was in possession of quantities of methanol. The suspect explained how it was prepared and sold. After further investigations, authorities arrested two other Asian suspects involved in distributing the toxic substance, along with arresting the main suspect involved the criminal network, who is also an Asian. Security operations held across the governorates of Kuwait ultimately resulted in the arrest of 67 people involved in the manufacturing of local alcoholic substances. It also led to the seizure of six factories designated for illegal manufacturing, and four factories operating in residential and industrial areas. During security campaigns, 34 individuals wanted in various cases were caught. Kuwait's MOI explained that these substances are extremely harmful and may lead to immediate death. The authority also stressed that it would not show leniency to those who attempt to tamper with the country's security, or threaten the lives of individuals.

Positive Points Rapid7 Inc (NASDAQ:RPD) ended the second quarter with $841 million in ARR, showing a 3% year-over-year growth. Revenue and profitability exceeded expectations, with a strong free cash flow of $42 million. The detection and response business continues to be a core growth driver, representing over half of ARR and growing in the mid-teens year over year. The company announced a significant milestone with the launch of the Incident Command platform, enhancing their integrated security operations. Rapid7 Inc (NASDAQ:RPD) is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the demand for AI tools in security operations, leveraging years of experience and proprietary data. Negative Points Customer spending scrutiny persists, impacting the overall business environment. Deal cycles remain extended, particularly for larger, more strategic deals, affecting revenue timing. The company narrowed its full-year ARR guidance range, reflecting caution due to macroeconomic factors and seasonality. There is a need for better market education and operationalization of the expansion engine to improve sales efficiency. The number of customers has modestly declined for two consecutive quarters, indicating potential challenges in customer acquisition or retention. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with RPD. Q: Can you provide more details on the strong demand trends for your Managed Detection and Response (MDR) business? A: Corey Thomas, CEO: We continue to see strong demand trends for MDR, which has been a core growth engine for our business. We launched our Enterprise MDR earlier this year, which accepts all data and workloads from customers, supported by our AI technology investments. Detection and response remain a major growth area, and we are investing in both the team and AI to support this expansion. Q: You mentioned that net new ARR is weighted towards Q4. Can you explain your confidence in achieving this? A: Corey Thomas, CEO: In Q2, we saw a higher concentration of larger, more strategic deals. We have a strong pipeline and are confident in achieving our guidance range. Historically, we have a back-end loaded year, and we are well-positioned for a healthy Q4, similar to last year. Q: How are your sales and channel enablement initiatives progressing for the Exposure Command platform? A: Corey Thomas, CEO: We have shifted investments to our partner channel ecosystem, which is scaling well.
