The hackers who stole data on tens of millions of U.S. insurance holders and government employees in recent months breached another big target at around the same time — United Airlines.

United, the world’s second-largest airline, detected an incursion into its computer systems in May or early June, said several people familiar with the probe. According to three of these people, investigators working with the carrier have linked the attack to a group of China-backed hackers they say are behind several other large heists — including the theft of security-clearance records from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and medical data from health insurer Anthem Inc.   Continue reading “China-Tied Hackers That Hit U.S. Said to Breach United Airlines”

Syria’s bloody civil war has brought the country’s largest number of refugees and asylum-seekers to the United States in a decade, and thousands more are expected in 2016.

But with the influx comes mounting concerns over whether the Obama administration can properly vet them, and keep out those with terror ties seeking to exploit the system. Lawmakers are worried that not only is Syria the headquarters of the Islamic State, but that the country’s state of chaos makes screening refugees that much harder.    Continue reading “Surge of Syrian refugees into US stirs security concerns”

MIAMI (AP) — Psssst — Need a phony ID? A fraudulent tax refund? Insurance money from a sham car crash? Florida may have just what you’re looking for.

Since the first settlers hacked their way into the mangrove tangles and drained much of the swampland, sunny South Florida has been virtually synonymous with shady deals and scams. Over the past decade or so, the three most populous South Florida counties — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — have become less renowned for old-school “Miami Vice”-style drug shootouts than for scammers stealing hundreds of millions from the government, banks and individuals by using laptops, stolen identities and fake medical procedures.   Continue reading “By nearly any measure, sunny South Florida is tops in fraud”

Few people look at the education system in our nation, and even fewer look at what the type of education our nation is going to have in the future. I received an email from a friend that noted what the United States Department of Education, which may result in “enslavement”-like action, with Congress going along under the guise of helping the local Educational Departments. Maybe what our nation should do is forget about the national Department of Education, eliminate it, and just allow the States to do their own education programs—that would be so much better than placing our children in schools under a “national” policy that seems to set up a Communist type of education that will make our children virtual “slaves” to the government. Now that I have your attention, let me show what I am talking about.   Continue reading “Education in United States Going Communist?”

In a scene more reminiscent of a war-zone than an American city, Berkeley, California police conducted what looked like a full-scale military operation in a residential neighborhood in response to a one person robbery of a local laundromat.

Despite the fact that no one was injured in the robbery, police decided to effectively close down an entire neighborhood in an attempt to catch the “silver tooth” robber who they admitted may or may not have been armed. Police advised residents to stay in their homes as they went house to house to search for the suspect.   Continue reading “Berkeley Police conduct full-scale military operation in American neighborhood over one robbery suspect”
