The FBI might have suffered a cyberattack

Story by Sead Fadilpašić • 5h ago

A cyberattacker seems to have breached the network belonging to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

According to CNN, citing two sources briefed on the matter, the as-yet unknown threat actor breached a New York Field Office computer system, used by the FBI to investigate cases of child sexual exploitation.

“The FBI is aware of the incident and is working to gain additional information,” the US law enforcement agency said in a statement to the media. “This is an isolated incident that has been contained. As this is an ongoing investigation the FBI does not have further comment to provide at this time.”

he story of a dog who was found abandoned at a car wash has warmed hearts after his new owner posted the tale on Reddit.

On the r/MadeMeSmile forum, Brylee Powell, 23, from Dallas, shared how she adopted her dog Dobby in September 2020, after he was discovered near the border of Mexico.

"Dobby was found in Mission, Texas," Powell told Newsweek. "A woman named Ashli Garza is a dog lover, rescuer and foster mom. She saw Dobby and knew she needed to help the little man."

Found near a car wash, which is ironic as he hates water, Dobby had to be cornered to be rescued.

"Who knows what the poor man went through," said Powell. "Ashli and her team helped rescue him after hours of trying. He was terrified but seemed to have felt some relief after the humans didn't hurt him."

A rescue in Texas took Dobby in. While there is no way to tell exactly what happened to him, the team and his new owner have been able to make a few well-educated guesses.

Now a big fan of adventures with his owners and playing with other dogs, Dobby has truly come a long way from the terrified abandoned pup found in 2020.

"He blossomed," said Dobby's loving owner in the viral video that has delighted thousands of viewers on Reddit.

"He loves going on our daily morning walks. He loves going to grandma's and playing with his doggy aunts and uncle—his best friends. He loves laying in the sun and sun-tanning; he loves chewing his bully sticks; he loves his piggy stuffed animal; and he loves a bit of ice cream every once in a while," said Powell.

Father of QAnon believer tells all: 'Don't have any idea how bad this is'

Story by Brad Reed • Yesterday 9:27 PM

Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer has published a new excerpt from his upcoming book on the QAnon phenomenon, and it tells the harrowing story of a father who watched helplessly as his son fell down an internet conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

In the excerpt, Sommer details the experience of a man whom he identifies only as "David," whose son one day in 2020 began telling him strange stories about the impending mass arrests of celebrities including Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg.

While David at first hoped his son was merely joking, it turned out that he had been drawn into the shadowy digital world of QAnon, which posits that former President Donald Trump is working to bring down a global cabal of Satanist pedophiles that include the entire Democratic Party and the Hollywood elite.

His son's belief in QAnon became so all-encompassing, that the two soon found it difficult to have any discussion that did not involve celebrities drinking the adrenochrome of children.

While David initially tried to maintain a relationship with his son by talking about their fantasy baseball league, he lost interst because he didn't think it was as "real" as QAnon.

“I don’t think that people who don’t have a loved one involved with this have any idea how bad this is,” David told Sommer.

Sommer writes that David also tried to enact a more passive approach to dealing with his son's QAnon obsession, although in the end he found such a strategy impossible to maintain.

“When you’re confronted by him virtually every night with this stream of nonsense, you can’t keep quiet,” David explained to Sommer.

Things took a more hopeful turn at one point when David's son got a girlfriend, which he had hoped would cool his QAnon fever. However, this hope was dashed soon after when his son started talking to him about how he now believed that the Earth was flat.

Sommer's book, called "Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged AmericaThe Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America," will be released on Tuesday, February 21st.
