🇨🇳 A hacker has reportedly breached a Chinese government supercomputer and stolen a massive trove of sensitive data, including defence and military research.

The stolen dataset, said to be over 10 petabytes, is now being offered for sale online. For reference, a high-end laptop typically stores about one terabyte.

According to a CNN report, the stolen data allegedly includes classified defence documents, missile schematics, and even research linked to fighter jets and advanced war simulations.

The breach is reportedly believed to have taken place at the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin, a key facility that supports more than 6,000 organisations across the country. These include major players in advanced science, aerospace, and defence research. Essentially, the facility acts as a backbone for some of China’s most sensitive and high-end computational work.

When whoever did this gets caught he will probably be sliced into sashimi.

🇹🇷🏳️‍🌈 Eleven leaders of a Turkish LGBTQ+ rights group went on trial on charges of "obscenity" and "violating the protection of the family," according to their lawyers.

The defendants, leaders of the Genc LGBTI+ association (Young LGBTI+ in Turkish), are accused of breaching an article of the Turkish constitution on protecting family values, as well as publishing images on social media showing same-sex couples kissing, deemed "obscene" by authorities.

They face up to three years in jail and having their civil rights suspended if found guilty by the court in the city of Izmir.

Homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey, but the LGBTQ+ community is frequently targeted by President Erdogan and his ruling AK Party, who have blamed it for Turkey’s declining birth rate.

A amendment of Turkey's penal code that proposed prosecuting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people for behaviour deemed "contrary to biological sex and general morality" and promoting such behaviour in Turkey was withdrawn last November.

🇬🇧🇷🇺 Prime-minister Starmer's threat to seize sanctioned Russian tankers has been directly defied by Vladimir Putin after Moscow sent a warship to escort two vessels through the English Channel. Admiral Grigorovich, a Black Sea fleet frigate, accompanied sanctioned ships in the British waters.

A British naval vessel trailed the boats, with The Telegraph witnessing the Russian flotilla sailing past RFA Tideforce. However, the Royal Navy did absolutely nothing to prevent the Russian ships from going through the Channel.

The incident came just weeks after Starmer granted special forces the authority to capture two sanctioned Russian vessels. Britain is still yet to seize a single Russian vessel.
