A recent security breach has highlighted a critical vulnerability in multi-factor authentication, with attackers using cookie theft to bypass MFA protections in Azure Entra ID. Dubbed "Cookie Bite," the attack underscores growing concerns over session hijacking tactics. In related developments, Blue Shield suffered a breach exposing data of 4.7 million individuals to Google, while a cyberattack disrupted municipal systems in a Texas city. Other incidents this week include a ransomware attack in Catalonia, a South Korean telecom breach leaking USIM data, and warnings about North Korean operatives using deepfake technology to infiltrate IT systems. Prioritizing cyber resilience over traditional defense, organizations are being urged to shift focus from seeking perfect protection to building systems designed to withstand and recover from attacks. Keri Pearlson, executive director of cybersecurity at MIT Sloan's Interdisciplinary Consortium for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, emphasizes the importance of embedding resilience throughout cybersecurity strategies to better safeguard critical infrastructure in an increasingly complex digital landscape. At the Races: How the Latino Vote Is Changing — Once considered a Democratic stronghold, Latino voters are becoming an increasingly contested demographic as Republicans capitalize on shifts driven by cultural and economic concerns. Historic gains among Latino voters helped propel Donald Trump back to the White House in 2024 and aided GOP victories in key swing districts. The GOP sees this momentum as a sign of a generational realignment, with targeted campaigns in swing districts like South Texas and messaging centered on border security and conservative cultural issues. However, a new Pew Research Center poll shows Trump’s disapproval among Latinos remains high at 72 percent, raising questions about whether these shifts are temporary or part of a lasting trend. With the 2024 midterms on the horizon, both parties are intensifying efforts to sway this pivotal electorate. Former Labour MP Steve McCabe has urged Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to prioritize the quality and skills of immigrants over their countries of origin, emphasizing that immigration policy should focus on individuals who can contribute positively to the UK. McCabe highlighted the importance of attracting people with trades and qualifications, noting that effective immigration policy must assess the economic potential of individuals rather than apply broad generalizations based on nationality. He pointed to past examples, such as trained medical professionals from Bangladesh, to illustrate how skilled migrants can benefit both the UK and their home countries. His comments come amid growing calls for a more data-driven approach to immigration, including proposals to publish fiscal contribution "league tables" by nationality and visa route, as well as the Home Office's upcoming release of detailed deportation data categorized by offenders' nationalities. The Interior Department has unveiled a new commingling policy aimed at accelerating offshore oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
