President Obama has designated two areas in the deserts of southern Nevada and Utah as national monuments, after years of fighting and debate over the management of both areas.
The newly created Bears Ears National Monument will protect roughly 1.35 million acres of land in southeast Utah from future development.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a new case — it’s been going on since at least 2010. Continue reading “The FBI is now probing FDIC hacks allegedly carried out by the Chinese military”
