Right 35%
What happened: Dutch intelligence services revealed that Russian state-affiliated hackers compromised internet-connected IP cameras and home intercoms along NATO and Ukrainian logistics routes to secretly track military aid shipments to Kyiv. The hackers exploited default passwords, outdated software, and unpatched firmware to gain real-time access without owners' knowledge.
Why it matters: The operation enabled Russia to gather intelligence on weapon types and volumes being supplied to Ukraine, potentially compromising delivery routes and timing. Organizations with vulnerable cameras on these routes have been warned to secure their devices immediately, as the threat remains active and could expose critical aid flows.

Latest release: Forty declassified UAP files were posted yesterday, including 19 videos, 14 documents, four audio recordings and three images from DOW, NASA, CIA, FBI and DOE. Notable cases include a 2020 Atlantic "jellyfish" infrared clip and a silent diamond-shaped object over the Pantex nuclear plant in 2015.
Why it matters: The expanded public archive increases oversight and could shape policy and military investigations, especially after incursions near nuclear sites. The DOW says more tranches will follow, amid huge public interest.

Study: Ultrasound Safely Treats Twin Pregnancy Condition
L 20%
Center 80%
What happened: Doctors in London tested a noninvasive focused ultrasound technique on 10 pregnant women to treat twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, a rare condition where identical twins sharing a placenta receive uneven blood flow. The 20-minute procedure successfully blocked flow in 90% of targeted placental vessels, with 12 of 20 infants surviving and no reported side effects.
Why it matters: If validated in larger trials, this external ultrasound approach could replace invasive needle-and-laser procedures currently used to treat TTTS, offering expectant parents of identical twins a safer treatment option with potentially fewer complications. The technique heats and seals problematic blood vessels from outside the body without entering the womb.
