The Greek Coast Guard on Wednesday stated that at least 78 migrants have been found dead after a fishing boat was wrecked off Pylos, Peloponnese. So far, 104 migrants have been rescued.

A rescue operation took place in the early hours of the morning in international waters 47 nautical miles southwest of Pylos.

Italian authorities informed the Greek authorities about the boat, which was carrying a large number of migrants. The Greek media reported that about 400 people were on board. Other reports have put the number as high as 750.

The boat had been deported from Libya, bound for Italy. The migrants were not wearing life jackets.

The survivors have been taken to the port of Kalamata, in the Peloponnese, where a reception centre with first aid has been organized in collaboration with the General Secretariat of Civil Protection.

The fishing vessel was spotted on Tuesday by a EU border protection agency FRONTEX aerial vehicle and by two ships. A Greek boat sailed to the spot, while a helicopter took off at the same time.

In successive telephone calls to the fishing vessel, offering assistance, they received a negative response, stating the vessel’s desire to continue the voyage to Italy.

The boat later capsized and sank. Two patrol boats, a coast guard’s lifeboats, a frigate of the navy, seven ships sailing alongside, a helicopter of the navy, and an unnamed aerial vehicle are operating at the site of the investigations.

Six such shipwrecks with migrant victims have occurred in the first six months or so of 2023.

More than 70,000 refugees and migrants have arrived in Europe’s frontline countries this year, with the majority landing in Italy, according to UN data, the BBC reported Wednesday.

The European Court of Human Rights condemned Greece in July 2022 for violating the European Convention of Human Rights over the sinking of a migrant boat in 2014 in which 11 asylum seekers, among them eight children, lost their lives.

CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour asked Greek ex-PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis if he will order a full and independent investigation into a New York Times video allegedly showing Greek authorities illegally setting adrift some migrants in the Aegean. “I have already done so, Christiane. I take this incident very seriously. It is already being investigated by my government,” said Mitsotakis.

On 5 June, MEPs in the LIBE committee debated the situation in Greece with home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson.

The European Union submitted an official request to Greece for an independent investigation into the pushbacks of refugees-immigrants after The New York Times video document.

From Moscow to Novorossiysk: The list of attacks on Russian soil

On the morning of Aug. 4, the residents of the Russian city of Novorossiysk woke to a 112-meter-long Navy ship being towed back to port after it was hit by a drone attack on the Black Sea overnight.

While the Russian Defense Ministry claimed there were no casualties or damage, videos of the Olenegorskiy Gornyak listing to one side as tugs towed the ship away for repairs pointed to a different story.

The attack was the result of a joint operation between the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian Navy, according to unnamed sources in the SBU cited by CNN and several Ukrainian media publications.

A naval drone loaded with 450 kilograms of explosives reportedly rammed into the ship, which is designed to be used for the beach landings of crew and equipment.

Kyiv has not issued an official comment on the Aug. 4 attack.

However, in his evening address on Aug. 4, President Volodymyr Zelensky said he thanked the SBU for “pushing the war back to the aggressor state."

Earlier on July 14, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, told the Washington Post that it is “necessary” to strike enemy territory during war.

“This is our problem, and it is up to us to decide how to kill this enemy,” Zaluzhnyi said.

The strike on Novorossiysk is the latest in a growing list of reported attacks on Russian territory since it began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

Summer 2023: drones hit Moscow high-rises

On Aug. 1, several drones were shot down over Moscow, all of which were intercepted, Russian state media reported. Since May, the city has experienced repeated drone strikes.

According to Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, one of the drones struck the same tower that was damaged in a previous strike two nights before, on July 30. The offices of several government ministries are located in the building.

In the early hours of July 30, three drones had attacked Moscow, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed.

Two of the drones hit buildings in Moscow’s business district, while one was destroyed over the Odintsovsky district of the Moscow region, said the authorities.

Russia claimed Ukraine was responsible for the attack.

While Kyiv did not claim direct responsibility, Zelensky said in a video message on July 30 that it’s “natural and fair” that the war is “gradually returning to Russian territory.”

Drones also hit Moscow on July 24. Two buildings were damaged and fragments of a drone were found later some two kilometers away from the Defense Ministry’s main building, according to Russia’s state news agencies.

Again, Kyiv did not claim direct responsibility, but a Ukrainian Defense Intelligence official, speaking anonymously, told CNN that Ukraine was responsible.

The first large-scale drone attack on Moscow was on May 30, when several high-rise buildings were damaged. According to Russian Telegram channels, about 25 drones took part in the attack and 10 of them were destroyed.

The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the authenticity of the claim.

Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to the head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, denied Kyiv’s involvement in the attack.

July 28, 2023: Taganrog

On July 28 at around 4 p.m., Russian media and officials reported an explosion in the center of Tangarog, a city in Rostov Oblast lying on the shores of the Sea of Azov.

Rostov Oblast Governor Vasily Golubev claimed that at least 12 people were wounded and nine were hospitalized. The Russian Defense Ministry blamed Ukraine for the attack, claiming an S-200 system carried it out. The missile was shot down but the city was impacted by fallen debris, the ministry claimed.

Golubev alleged that another attack hit the region around 5:15 p.m., but the projectile was shot down in a deserted area.

Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Oleksii Danilov wrote on Twitter that the incident was a result of “illiterate Russian air defenses."

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims.

July 4, 2023: Moscow Oblast

On July 4, Russian state news agency TASS reported that several flights heading to Moscow’s Vnukovo airport had to be redirected to different airports due to the presence of drones nearby.

TASS claimed that several UAVs were heading toward Moscow at different times in the early morning, but all of them were reportedly eliminated.

Telegram channel Baza, which is allegedly linked to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), claimed that one drone crashed on the territory of a military facility near Kubinka, a town east of the capital, around 4 a.m. According to TASS, there were no casualties or damage due to the attack.

The same day, a fire erupted in a warehouse of a former furniture factory on Nekrasova Street in the city of Khimki in Moscow Oblast, according to the Russian state media.

Kyiv did not comment on the incident.

May 27, 2023: Bryansk Oblast

Russian Telegram Channel Baza said on May 27 that two soldiers were killed in Bryansk Oblast, a Russian region on the border with Ukraine, due to a drone attack.

Baza claimed that the attack was carried out by an Iranian-made Kamikaze drone, a munition that Russian forces use to launch air attacks on Ukraine, and that “saboteurs” were allegedly trying to break into Bryansk Oblast.

Drone attacks in Bryansk and Kursk oblasts were also reported on May 16, according to local officials and independent media.

The incidents came a few days after Russian militia fighting alongside Ukraine broke into some bordering areas in western Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, bordering Ukraine’s Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts, on May 22.

May 10, 2023: Voronezh training ground

Russia’s Voronezh Oblast Governor Alexander Gusev reported on May 10 that two Ukrainian drones had allegedly attacked a military training ground in his region overnight.

As a result of the air defense work, one drone deviated from its course and fell, and the other one was destroyed, Gusev wrote on Telegram.

The governor didn’t report any casualties or damages, but Russian media outlet Baza said 14 soldiers had been injured in the alleged attack.

Kyiv did not comment on the incidents.

May 3, 2023: the Kremlin

One of the most dramatic attacks took place on May 3, when cameras recorded an explosion above Moscow’s Red Square, causing damage to the Kremlin residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The authorities then used the attack as a pretext to continue canceling upcoming Victory Day parades, which are held on May 9 in Russia.

While Russia accused Kyiv of orchestrating the attack, Ukraine’s officials denied responsibility.

“We do not attack Putin or Moscow,” said Zelensky.

In response, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg reiterated on June 1 that Ukraine has the right to defend itself from Russian attacks.

In the months preceding the attack, there were multiple Russian media reports on the downing of drones packed with explosives in the region around Moscow.

Feb. 28, 2023: gas and oil sites

Just over a year into Russia’s war, on Feb. 28, the Russian authorities reported multiple explosions and fires at sites of strategic importance.

One drone crashed in Russia’s Moscow region near the village of Gubastovo, allegedly next to the Voskresensk gas compressor station owned by Russia’s energy giant Gazprom.

Local authorities in Russia’s Belgorod and Bryansk oblasts also reported drone crashes on Feb. 27-28. Murat Kumpilov, the head of the Republic of Adygea, said an “unidentified aircraft” fell in his region as well.

A fire broke out at an oil depot in Russia’s city of Tuapse in southern Krasnodar Oblast at night on Feb. 28, according to the city administration.

Russian Defense Ministry claimed Ukrainian drone attacks on the Krasnodar region and the Adygea Republic overnight. Ukraine has not commented on any of the incidents.

On the same day, the airspace over Saint Petersburg was closed due to the detection of an “unidentified object,” Russian independent media outlet Meduza reported.

December 2022: military airbases

Moscow accused Kyiv of launching drone attacks on two military airbases in Russia’s Saratov and Ryazan oblasts on Dec. 5, 2022.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that three Russian military personnel were killed and four others were wounded.

While Kyiv did not claim responsibility, Ukrainian officials made cryptic hints about the blasts on social media.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the head of the President’s Office, wrote on Twitter: “If something is launched into other countries' airspace, sooner or later unknown flying objects will return to (their) departure point."

Yurii Ihnat, Ukraine’s Air Force spokesman, that explosions on a military airfield in Engels are “the consequences of Russian aggression” in Ukraine.

Engels airbase, in Saratov Oblast, is where Russia bases Tu-95 long-range bombers, which have been used to take part in cruise missile strikes against Ukraine.

Explosions and air raid sirens were reported again in Engels on Dec. 25.

April 2022: the sinking of the Moskva warship

On April 14, 2022, Russia’s flagship Moskva sank in the Black Sea after Ukraine targeted it with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles.

Though the attack did not occur on Russian territory but in the Black Sea south of Ukraine’s Odesa, it was the most significant Ukrainian attack on the Russian Navy - the Moskva is the largest Russian warship to be sunk since World War II and the first Russian flagship sunk since the 1905 Russo-Japanese War.

Russia claimed that its flagship Moskva had sunk after a fire detonated ammunition on board.

Russian state media reported that 1 sailor was killed and 27 were missing, while 396 crew members were rescued. However, Ukraine said that up to 250 could have been killed.

Historic loss of flagship deals humiliating blow to Russia’s naval power

The Russian-Ukrainian war has produced yet another hallmark event in the history of warfare. On April 14, after 49 days of Russia’s all-out war, Ukraine inflicted a devastating blow upon the Kremlin’s pride and the symbol of its naval power in the Black Sea. Missile cruiser Moskva, the

Ukraine Unleashes Drone Warfare on Russia

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Dec. 5, 2022.--Showing that it takes two to tango, the Ukrainian military unleashed a new wave of drone warfare inside Russia, the exact thing the Pentagon opposed in the Ukraine War.  Uraine’s 44-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky thinks turnaround is fair play, with Russian’s already using unmanned aerial vehicles on Ukrainian targets.  Reports of Iran supplying Russia with Kamikaze drones have been widely reported.  Russia’s military confirmed that Iran’s Kamikaze drones don’t work well in cold weather yet Ukraine’s military has been modifying Russian-made Tupolev TU-141 or TU-143 Soviet era  unmanned aerial vehicles for the Russian theater.  President Joe Biden, 80, limited the range of U.S.-made HIMARS missile defense systems to a range of only 50 miles,  hoping to keep the conflict in Ukraine’s borders.  Drone attacks in Russia open a new escalation in the conflict.

Kiev reported that its main military defense contractor was working on a new generation of combat drones capable of going 1,000 km or 665 miles.  Hitting two Russian air bases killing at least three Russian service man and damaging two combat planes takes the conflict to a new level. Last Thursday, Russia confirmed that the Kursk airbase near the Ukrainian border was set ablaze by a Ukrainian drone attack.  Military analysts see the drone attacks as retaliation for ongoing Russian air strikes on Ukraine’s electrical grid and water supply.  “It’s a bigger image blow that a military one,” said Oleh Zhanov, a military analyst based in Kiev.  “It means there are no sites in Western Russia that are out of Ukrainian reach.”  Ukraine’s military has launched a new asymmetric warfare strategy, putting Russia on notice that no holds are barred as the nine-month long conflict grinds on.

Questions of Russian retaliation for attacking airbases in Russia are all but certain.  Zelensky thinks Russian has tapped itself out with aerial strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.  Striking targets inside in Russia sends a strong message to 70-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin. Military analysts couldn’t explain why Russia’s S-400 missile defense system didn’t stop the Ukrainian-built drones from hitting targets inside Russia. “It would be visible on radars:  the question arises of how this done could fly from Ukraine through Russian territory and be visible to S-400 units and hit strategic bombers at a military base,” asked Olekandr Musiyenko, a Kiev military analyst.  “We could conclude that Russian air defenses cannot guarantee the protection of their strategic aeorodromes and that they effectively admit this,” Musiyenko said.  Ukraine has entered a new bold phase in the war.

Ukraine could not start drone warfare inside Russia without Pentagon approval.  Kremlin Spokeswoman Maria Zakharhova has said that if Ukraine starts hitting targets in Russia, they would hold the U.S. accountable as an enemy combatant.  “It does show that they can operate in Russia at will, and that will deeply worry the Russians,” said an unnamed Western military analyst.  French President Emmanuel Macron, who was hosted by the White House last week, didn’t want to see an escalation in the conflict.  Macron has been among a handful of world leaders looking for a way out of the conflict, not pressing the issue to full-scale warfare that could lead to WW III.  U.S. officials think that Russia will be forced to relocate its strategic bombers now that Kiev is capable to hitting airbases inside Russia.  Ukraine’s new drone technology opens a new asymmetric front to the nine-month old war.

With U.S. cash and weapons, Kiev shows no interest in backing down until Putin agrees to pull his troops out of Ukrainian territory.  Kiev wants Russia to agree to pay reparations to Ukraine for all the damage nflicted over the last nine months.  Zelensky has talked openly about Kiev developing an army of predator drones capable of hitting Russia at any location in a 1,000 km radius.  Reverse engineering Soviet-made TU-143 drones with explosive comes full circle for Russia.  Zelensky thinks the future of modern warfare involves using unmanned aerial vehicles to deliver ordnance to Russian targets.  Drone manufacturer Ukroboroprom said they’re completing testing on drones with a 1,000 km range.  Ukraine makes its weapons developments known to the public for the purpose of warning Russia of more fireworks to come.  Zelensky thinks he’s giving Putin reason to pull out his troops.

U.S. and EU officials could be in for a new phase of the Ukraine War where Russia begins to retaliate against Western targets, not just inside Ukraine. Biden must decide how far he’s willing to push the conflict, clearly, Zelensky prefers to continue the conflict with the Kremlin.  “Aerial unmanned systems come in handy, and the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is paying special attention to their development,” said Ukroboroprom Director Yuriy Gusev, calling for asymmetric warfare with Russia.  Ukraine’s military while not disclosing its battlefield losses has suffered every bit as much as Russian.  Especially during the cold winter months, Gusev sees the Ukrainian military ramping up drone warfare with Russia, putting pressure on Putin to finally end the conflict.  Whether or not that’s wish fulfillment, Ukraine’s military has gone ahead with asymmetric warfare.

Welcome into the Drone Era: Perks of Using Drones for Surveying and Mapping

Unnamed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones are reshaping how surveys and mapping operate. A diverse range of industries is using drone surveying and mapping to gather data on a geographical terrain faster from hard-to-reach or hazardous areas. Drones are replacing conventional mapping methods like satellite mapping and airplane mapping because they are cost-effective, compact, and precise. 3D Drone visualization is increasingly finding applications in large-scale photogrammetry, 3D mapping, land surveys, archaeology, and mining.

Why drones?

Well, as compared to other monitoring systems, drones can capture aerial data using downward-facing sensors that facilitate surveying the terrain from different angles. Later, the images can also be tagged with photogrammetry and coordinates to combine images into 2D and 3D maps. Unlike traditional aerial surveillance devices, drones can fly low to capture high-resolution images with accuracy. They can operate in any weather condition and the best part is there is no human intervention needed. The quality of the atmosphere has no impact on the images. So, drone mapping is an invaluable tool to analyse crucial areas that are hard to reach.

Perks of using drone mapping for accurate surveys

Although the fundamental reason behind using drones in surveillance is cost-effectiveness, safety, and accuracy, there are other advantages that anyone can leverage by using drones for their survey sessions. Some of them are listed as follows:

Reduced time and cost: Typically aerial surveys that involve manpower take a substantial amount of time. Especially in the case of larger sites, the time can be a huge setback with human intervention. However, drones can do the same job about five times faster saving cost, time, and manpower.

Better accuracy: Theoretically and practically, drones can produce thousands of measurements in different formats such as ortho-mosaic, point cloud, contour lines, and DTM. This in turn increases the accuracy and enables the production of exhaustive data for a better understanding of the geography.

Compact for reaching hard-to-reach areas: Drones are handy enough to hover and reach every nook and corner of terrain. They can easily access unsafe or steep places that would have been impossible with manned surveys.

Eliminating the risk: Areas like construction sites are risk-prone areas that need relentless monitoring. Drones can be used to survey these job sites to identify the regions with hazards such as unsafe placement of equipment, shallow excavations, unstable structures, etc., and eliminate the risk factors to ensure workers’ safety.

Volumetric surveys: In addition, drones can also be used to measure and produce the digital surface model. This can be particularly helpful for stockpiles or material extraction pits where ground surveys are needed.

Drones as an industry gamechanger

Gone are the days when surveillance meant simple cameras in multiple positions to capture different angles of the subject. The definition of imaging has now changed. Along with drone surveying, individuals are also inclining toward architectural laser scanning and 3D laser scanning services to take precisely effortless images of the concerned subject. If you also want to reap the benefits of mapping and surveying drones, ensure to go for the professionals. Drones from Eye-bot can be a remarkable investment. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, their aerial devices can upgrade your imaging sessions to whole new levels.

How Do Drones Work And What Is Drone Technology

With the advent of time, UAV drone technology is evolving as new innovation and big investment are bringing more advanced drones to the market every few months. There are the most popular drones on the market, which have all the latest drone technology.  Most UAV drones will have very similar systems incorporated into it.Unmanned aerial vehicle technology covers everything, ranges from the aerodynamics of the drone, materials in the manufacture of the physical UAV, to the circuit boards, chipset and software. They are considered as the brains of the drone. One of the most popular drones on the market is known as DJI Phantom series.  These drones are quite popular with professional aerial cinematographers. This Phantom UAVs are ideal to explain drone technology, as it offers everything in one package.  It includes the UAV, gimbal and camera. Moreover, the top engineering colleges in Jaipur have some of the top drone technology on the market today.In earlier days, more new and highly advanced drones like DJI Mavic Mini, Mavic Air 2, Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, Mavic 2, Yuneec Typhoon H3 and Autel Evo 2 have come to the market. The fast pace of UAV drone technological innovation is tremendous.How Do Drones Work?The drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an aircraft system without a flight crew onboard. As such, drones can range in size from large military drones to smaller drones, like the DJI Mavic Pro 2, that you might see while using a film video or inspect a property. The defining trait of a UAV is that it is unnamed. Drones come in two main types including fixed-wing and rotary.Fixed-wing platforms are exactly as they sound. In other words, the wings are fixed to the fuselage (body of the aircraft). For instance, the Boeing 737 is a fixed-wing commercial jet. In this, the wings are attached to the fuselage and they cannot move. On a fixed-wing platform, the aircraft flies forward to push the wings through the air to generate lift.Rotary platform configurations are very different from fixed-wing platform configurations. A rotary platform has a rotary-wing (i.e., a propeller) that is fixed to a motor. On a rotary platform, the motor spins the rotary wing against the air to create lift. One of the most common types of rotary drones is called a quadcopter. A quadcopter, like the Mavic Pro 2 we referred to before, has four motors and four propellers.How Do Drones Fly?Because quadcopters are so popular, Best Engineering College in Jaipur has used it as the primary example to explain how drones fly. When a quadcopter flies, the motors spin the propellers and the propellers PUSH against the air molecules to move the drone. As the propellers spin, they push the air molecules downward, which pulls the drone upwards. Once the drone is flying, it is able to move forward, back, left, and right by spinning each of the 4 propellers at a different speed.Drones are flown using a flight controller. In other words, the flight controller is the “brains” of the drone. It takes in information sent to it by the remote controller, GPS, obstacle avoidance sensors, and other components and then sends signals to the motors to properly respond to the information.For instance, if students of engineering colleges were flying a drone and pushed forward on the control stick, they would be sending a signal to the flight controller to move the drone forward. If this were a GPS drone (in GPS mode), you would effectively be telling the flight computer to move the drone to a GPS location further in front of where it is now. The flight controller would check with the GPS to gather information, then fire up the rear motors (if on a quadcopter) to move the drone in a forward direction.A detailed description to Drone TechnologyAlthough the remote pilot is responsible for flying the drone, many drones come with built-in technology to make flying easier. One of the main features of commercial drones today is obstacle avoidance. Using a series of sensors that allow the drone to detect obstacles in multiple directions, the drone will alert the pilot that there is an obstacle in the way of the flight path. If the pilot flies the drone too close to the obstacle, the drone will typically stop and hover in place until the pilot directs the drone around or away from the obstacle. If the battery power level gets too low the drone will also utilize the sensors to find a safe place to land.Students of Best BTech Colleges in Jaipur should know that the Drone technology is not just flight-related, many drones are outfitted with special equipment to conduct a particular task. For instance, drones used in video and photography not only possess high-end cameras, but they also have special devices called “gimbals” that help hold the camera in place while the drone moves in various directions. With the help of the gimbal, pilots can take smooth aerial shots that you may see in commercials or films.ConclusionAlthough drones easier to fly than ever before, it is still important for the students of best engineering colleges to understand how drones work and the specific types of drone technology your drone utilizes so that you can make the most of each flight.Also, you can gain more knowledge about drones with the faculties of Arya College. We have also integrated this topic in the advanced curriculum. Our course will help you really dive into the world of drones.

An indictment from the US Department of Justice may have solved the mystery of how disgraced cryptocurrency exchange FTX lost over $400 million in crypto. The indictment, filed last week, alleges that three individuals used a SIM-swapping attack to steal hundreds of millions in virtual currency from an unnamed company. The timing and the amount stolen coincides with FTX's theft. Meanwhile, in a letter obtained by WIRED this week, seven lawmakers have demanded the DOJ stop funding biased and inaccurate predictive policing tools until the agency has a way to ensure law enforcement won’t use them in a way that has a “discriminatory impact.”

In Florida, prosecutors say a 17-year-old named Alan Winston Filion is responsible for hundreds of swatting attacks around the United States. The news of his arrest was first reported by WIRED days before law enforcement made it public. It was the culmination of a multi-agency manhunt to piece together a trail of digital breadcrumbs left by the teenager. In Ukraine, unmanned aerial vehicles have been powerful tools since the Russian invasion began in February 2022. But as the war rages on, another kind of unmanned robot has increasingly appeared on the front-lines: the unmanned ground vehicle, or UGV.

For months lawyers affiliated with an India based hacker-for-hire firm called Appin Technology have used legal threats to censor reporting about the company’s alleged cyber mercenary past. The EFF, Techdirt, MuckRock, and DDoSecrets are now pushing back, publicly sharing details for the first time about the firm's efforts to remove content from the web. It’s a dangerous world out there, so we’ve also got a list of some major patches issued in January that you can use to update your devices to keep them secure.

And there’s more. Each week, we highlight the news we didn’t cover in-depth ourselves. Click on the headlines below to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.

China’s Hackers Keep Targeting US Water and Electricity Supplies

For years Western security officials have warned about the threat of China collecting data about millions of people and the country’s hackers infiltrating sensitive systems. This week, Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Wray said hackers affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party are constantly targeting US critical infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, the electrical grid, and oil and gas pipelines. Wray’s testimony, at a House subcommittee on China, came as the FBI also revealed it removed malware from hundreds of routers in people’s homes and offices that had been planted by the Chinese hacking group Volt Typhoon.

“China’s hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities,” Wray said in the public appearance. “Low blows against civilians are part of China’s plan.” The FBI director added that China has a bigger hacking operation than “every other major nation combined,” and claimed that if all of the FBI’s cyber-focused agents were assigned to work on issues related to China, they would still be outnumbered “by at least 50 to 1.”

While concerns about the scale of China’s espionage and cyber operations aren’t new, the US intelligence community has been increasingly vocal and worried about critical infrastructure being targeted by Volt Typhoon and other groups. “The threat is extremely sophisticated and pervasive,” NSA officials warned in November. In May 2023, Microsoft revealed it had been tracking Volt Typhoon intrusions at communications and transportation infrastructure, among other critical infrastructure, in US states and Guam.

The FBI and DOJ, also revealed this week that they remotely removed the KV Botnet malware from hundreds of routers infected by Volt Typhoon. The impacted routers, from Cisco and Netgear, were mostly at the end of their life, but were being used as part of wider operations. “​​The Volt Typhoon malware enabled China to hide, among other things, pre-operational reconnaissance and network exploitation against critical infrastructure like our communications, energy, transportation, and water sectors,” Wray said. It isn’t the first time US officials have obtained a court order to remotely wipe devices infected by hackers, but the move is still rare.

‘Untraceable’ Monero Transactions Have Been Traced, Police Claim

Since the first cryptocurrencies emerged more than a decade ago, there has been the assumption that the blockchain-based digital currencies are anonymous and untraceable. They are, in fact, very traceable. Researchers have shown how people can be linked to the transactions they make and law enforcement have used the techniques to help bust illicit dark web markets and catch pedophiles. There are, however, still some privacy-focused cryptocurrencies that appear to be less traceable than Bitcoin. This includes Monero, which is increasingly being adopted by sellers of child sexual abuse materials.

This week investigators in Finland said Moreno-tracing helped reveal the identity of a hacker who allegedly attacked psychotherapy company Vastaamo in 2020, stealing thousands of patient records and threatening to leak them unless people paid a ransom. Investigators from the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation claim they used heuristic analysis to infer where funds were moved to. The investigators did not reveal the full methods of how they allegedly traced the Monero payments, however, they add to the growing body of evidence that cryptocurrency tracing firms and investigators may be able to track the currency.

Russia Likely Behind a Spike in GPS Interference, Officials Say

Planes flying over Europe have faced a spike in accuracy issues with GPS systems used for navigation in recent months. The head of Estonia’s Defense Forces has claimed that Russia is likely the source of this interference, according to an interview with Bloomberg. “Someone is causing it, and we think it’s Russia,” Martin Herem told the publication, adding that Russia may be testing its electronic warfare capabilities and “learning” the most effective tactics. Across Europe, and particularly the Baltics region, there has been a reported increase in GPS jamming, with Finland reporting large interferences in December and pilots repeatedly reporting issues with their navigation systems.

Vault 7 Hacking Tools Leaker Joshua Schulte Sentenced to 40 Years

In 2017, the Vault 7 leaks exposed some of the CIA’s most sophisticated hacking tools, including how the agency could compromise routers, phones, PC, and TVs. Joshua Schulte, a former CIA engineer in the agency’s Operations Support Branch who prosecutors identified as being behind the data breach and responsible for leaking the materials to Wikileaks, was convicted in numerous trials in recent years. Schulte, who denied the allegations, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the espionage and also for possessing thousands of child abuse images. Judge Jesse Furman, sentencing Schulte, said he had caused “untold damage to national security.” In June 2022, The New Yorker published this comprehensive investigation into the data breach and Schulte’s troubled history working at the agency.
