🚨‼️ BREAKING: The threat actor who breached Novo Nordisk, the company behind Ozempic, has leaked 264 GB of data. They are also mocking Novo Nordisk, claiming the company was using passwords like "novo123" for critical systems and that its security team sucks.

The breach includes source code, proprietary information on both marketed and pipeline drugs, clinical trial records, data on employees, doctors, and patients, and manufacturing details. The threat actor also claims it obtained private internal AI models from Novo's systems.

They allegedly breached Novo in March via a GitHub access token that let it clone the company's repositories and find additional credentials. The intrusion ran for over two months and yielded roughly 1.3 terabytes across more than 700,000 files.

‼️ Over two months ago, Tesla USA remotely force-pushed code to cars in Europe and Asia with the line: "APE Updated from Mothership." (see evidence below)

The so-called Tesla 'Mothership', without user consent or interaction, woke the cars up remotely and disabled Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Enhanced Autopilot functionality. Some people had paid almost $9,000 for these features.

We then received reports from users in Europe who nearly got into accidents after the remote update, because they didn't know what it had done: it had shut off traffic light recognition and automated stops. They ran red lights while on Autopilot — something that never happened before the update.

Tesla says it pushed the update because it detected CAN bus manipulation devices used to alter the car's functions. Functions of a car you own — or at least thought you did. A car you thought was safe to drive — but suddenly safety features you'd paid for and relied on for years were gone.

To this date, Tesla still hasn't given an official statement or offered a solution for the affected customers.

‼️ Trump mocked Zuckerberg and Bezos behind their backs, flashing their "kissing my ass" texts to guests. In a conversation with Elon Musk, Trump said of the pair, "They hated me... look at them now," and Musk replied, "First-class groveling."

Bezos allegedly trashed his own Washington Post to Trump too, calling it one of his worst investments and the staff "terrible."

❗️💿 A man got criminally convicted in 2026 for pirating CDs. Physical CDs. Burned on a laptop and sold on eBay.

Marc Kearns, 47, aka DJ Marc Landish, ran the operation for five years and pulled in £220,979 selling copyright-infringing discs on eBay, Facebook and his own site. His defense was that he thought copyright was only a civil matter. Hull Crown Court disagreed.

The judge noted Kearns had pirated other artists' work but went after someone for copying his own, calling it "hypocrisy of the highest order." He avoided jail: suspended sentence, 250 hours unpaid work, £21,885 costs.

‼️🚨 A hacker breached Brazil's national emergency alert system, and woke up everyone by pushing a fake "Extreme Alert" reading "misantropi4" to phones across São Paulo, Rio, Brasília and other states, overriding silent mode in the middle of the night.

Telecoms regulator Anatel pulled the national warning platform offline and the Federal Police are investigating what officials call a probable remote intrusion into Brazil's critical public-warning infrastructure.

‼️🇳🇴 Norway bans the use of AI in primary schools due to declining school results.

A new national recommendation says pupils should largely not use AI in schoolwork. The government's reasoning is sequencing: kids need to master reading, writing and arithmetic first, and it says research shows uncritical use of generative AI lets them skip the hard parts of learning.

The backdrop is a years-long slide in basic skills. The government cites data showing one in four Norwegian pupils now reads below the minimum level, and says it won't repeat the mistake of rushing digital devices onto young children.
