A deepfake is AI-generated or AI-manipulated media that convincingly replaces one person’s face, voice, or both, or fabricates someone’s likeness entirely. Unlike older editing techniques, deepfakes are generated by generative adversarial networks (GANs) or diffusion models, making them increasingly difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Every PHP version released in the last decade is affected by at least one of these vulnerabilities, going back to version 5.4. Attackers can exploit them remotely, in some cases fairly easily. Immediate patching is strongly advised.
On October 21, 2026, PHP released the patch fixing multiple memory-safety vulnerabilities in the core engine.
These findings rank among the most severe vulnerabilities discovered in PHP, and arguably in software history.
Der ehemalige BND-Chef Hanning muss in Untersuchungshaft. Ein Ermittlungsrichter des Bundesgerichtshofs habe den Haftbefehl in Vollzug gesetzt, teilte die Bundesanwaltschaft mit. Hanning steht unter Spionageverdacht.
…amid his arrest for treasonous espionage, noting Hanning introduced heiress Christina Block to CGI Group—led by ex-Shin Bet chief Yaakov Peri—to abduct her children from her ex-husband in Denmark and allegedly plant fake child abuse images.
•Hanning, who served on the board of another Israeli firm, faces charges including passing ~2,000 classified BND documents on Iran’s nuclear program and Russian forces; prosecutors confirmed the foreign service analysis was not for Russia, with the probe triggered by evidence from the Block kidnapping investigation.
•The October 6, 2026 arrests of Hanning and ex-BND employee Manfred D. stem from a Hamburg search in the Block case that uncovered unauthorized classified materials dating to 2022, years after Hanning left office.
Der frühere BND-Präsident soll noch Jahre nach seinem Ausscheiden geheime Informationen aus der Behörde erhalten und möglicherweise verkauft haben – an fremde Mächte?
The findings, the news outlet noted, “signal an emerging tech-skeptical realignment of American politics with consequential midterm and presidential elections looming” and arrive just a day after a major symposium in Washington, DC brought together experts and lawmakers who say action must be taken before its too late.
Laut Wilkerson sitzt der eigentliche Treiber dieses Krieges sitzt nicht in Washington, sondern in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanjahu, so Wilkerson, sei der Einzige, der den Krieg „richtig interpretiert“ habe – nämlich als seine letzte Chance, den Iran endgültig zu erledigen.
Trump, so die Analyse, sei in eine Falle getappt – „komplett fehlinterpretiert“ habe er den Konflikt. Und jetzt sei er gefangen: Netanjahu werde ihn nicht gehen lassen, egal wie sehr Trump einen Rückzug brauche. Schon im März hatte Wilkerson gegenüber Democracy Now gewarnt, Netanjahu sei bereit, eine Atomwaffe einzusetzen, „sollte es so schlimm werden, wie es gerade aussieht“.

The final decade of the Soviet Union showed how systemic corruption and elite self-enrichment destroy public faith in a governing system. The nomenklatura—the Communist Party’s privileged bosses—enjoyed dachas, special stores, and luxury while ordinary citizens faced shortages and endless propaganda about equality. Scandals like the Uzbek cotton embezzlement exposed billions diverted through falsified records and bribes. This hypocrisy sped up the CPSU’s moral and practical collapse in 1991.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are eyeing a 2028 presidential bid in the wake of recent electoral successes across the country.
DSA Co-chair Ashik Siddique told The Hill in a Thursday interview that the organization has more than 100,000 members and 200 chapters across the country. “We want people to be talking proactively about what they would want to see in a presidential campaign,” he said. The organization is looking to see how voters would engage and what would motivate them, he added.

President Isaac Herzog secretly met with journalist Jacob Bardugo, a confidante of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in late March to discuss the premier’s request for a pardon, Channel 12 news reports.
The nighttime meeting at an apartment in Shoham, which was not revealed to the public, took place shortly before Herzog urged dialogue between the sides on a plea bargain. It also came about after bitter criticism of Herzog by Bardugo on the pro-Netanyahu Channel 14 for not pardoning the prime minister, who has refused to admit wrongdoing despite High Court precedent indicating he must do so for a pardon.
The proceedings were significantly interrupted, however, after he excused himself from the Tel Aviv courtroom just 30 minutes after the hearing began for what he said was an urgent security-related call at the Kirya military headquarters.
He was granted permission to halt proceedings for the security consultation despite the court rejecting a request from the premier’s lawyer Amit Hadad to shorten Wednesday’s testimony by three hours due to a “security-related schedule.”
Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Netanyahu had requested overnight that the Jerusalem District Court limit his appearance on Wednesday to three hours, but the court denied the request.
The report added that Netanyahu cited “security-related schedule” to justify shortening the duration of the hearing.

Grundlage dieser Dokumentation ist eine der bislang größten Recherchen dieser Art: Ein Team aus Bayerischem Rundfunk, netzpolitik.org, Le Monde und weiteren Partnermedien hat rund zehn Milliarden Standortdaten ausgewertet. Eine Spurensuche, die um die halbe Welt führt: zu einer ägyptischen Exiljournalistin in Berlin, die bedroht wird. Nach Brüssel, wo hochrangige Mitarbeiter der EU-Kommission betroffen sind. Nach Washington, wo Politiker ein Sicherheitsrisiko für US-Agenten in Europa sehen. Oder an die ukrainische Front, wo Soldaten in den Datensätzen ihre eigenen Stellungen wiedererkennen.

Mr. Herzog, the officials said, believes that there are many options beyond the binary pardon-or-no-pardon choice, and that the main role of Israel’s president is to foster unity. So he does not plan to say yes or no to Mr. Netanyahu’s request for a pardon at this stage, the officials said, preferring to try to resolve the issue through negotiations.

Lapid advocated regime change in Lebanon, saying, “the international community will need to appoint a sort of oversight committee for Lebanon to manage its civilian life for a set period until elections can be held and a new government can take control.”
Crucial to this effort would be the establishment of a collaborator Lebanese army loyal to Israel and its Western and Gulf allies.
(…)
Lapid claimed it would be easy to recruit Lebanese by paying soldiers in a new army $500 a month. New recruits would then be trained by French, Emirati, and US military officers.
The South Lebanon Army (SLA) was established by Israel in 1976 after the collapse of the Lebanese government due to civil war.

Who she is: Venezuela‘s interim president
Portfolio: Maduro‘s former vice president, she‘s running the country under the oversight of the United States.
Why she matters: A seasoned lawyer and longtime party official, she‘s known as the „tsarina“ for the economic power she accrued as vice president, oil minister and finance minister. She‘s technically under sanction for serving in the Maduro government, but she has won the trust of the US government (for now) and is seen by US oil company executives as most able to work with them to rebuild the country‘s degraded energy infrastructure.
“Herzog should give Netanyahu a pardon today,” Trump was quoted as saying, while also sharply criticizing Herzog and claiming the Israeli president had promised him multiple times that a pardon would be issued.
Trump called Herzog „a disgrace,“ and said he had “promised me five times” that he would pardon Netanyahu, according to the N12 report,
Last week, the Express reported in detail on how Palantir secured a „record“ £240 million deal with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) in late 2025, forming part of a wider, more extensive, and occasionally undisclosed, £670m+ package of agreements with the UK government. Peter Mandelson played a significant role with Global Counsel, a consultancy that lobbied for Palantir and was was viewed as enabling the firm‘s access to the Starmer government. The tight relationship between the UK government and Palantir attracted fierce scrutiny owing to Palantir‘s connections to Donald Trump (via co-founder Peter Thiel) and its participation in contentious AI-powered military surveillance.
As Mandelson‘s slimy rise and slippery fall have been documented over the years, it seems extraordinary that he could have lasted this long. Let‘s hope this sorry latest scandal relating to Epstein will be the last we hear of the Prince of Darkness
Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Herzog said the pardon request must be examined by professional legal authorities within the Justice Ministry, including assessments of disputed legal questions. He stressed that the prolonged legal process has weighed heavily on Israel and that ways forward must be considered, while underscoring that any decision would be made strictly in accordance with Israeli law.
Tirosh further cited testimony by former Communications Ministry director-general Shlomo Filber, a state witness, who testified that he overheard a conversation in which Netanyahu asked his wife whether she was still in contact with Iris Elovich and allegedly instructed her to cut off contact and delete messages.
Judge Moshe Bar-Am intervened, questioning the necessity of further narrowing in on granular details of the text exchanges and the assumptions regarding what the prime minister knew. The case is being heard by a three-judge panel headed by Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman, alongside Bar-Am and Judge Oded Shaham.

In this case, media consultant Tzachi Lieber is accused of acting as an intermediary for bribes between Michael Ganor, who was the representative of the German industrial engineering company ThyssenKrupp in Israel, and David Sharan, who was chief of staff to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
(…)
The dilemma facing the system is now complex. On the one hand, allowing a new judge to render a verdict based solely on transcripts and submitted evidence is problematic, as a criminal verdict should be based on the judge‘s direct impression of the witnesses and the accused, and on their credibility.
On the other hand, having the witnesses, or some of them, re-tested by another judge is also problematic and would mean the case would drag on for years. As mentioned, this would also delay Lieber‘s required testimony in the main case against Sharan and Ganor.

Judge Benny Sagi, president of Israel‘s Beersheba District Court, was killed Sunday when a vehicle struck his motorcycle on Route 6.
Police say a vehicle driving off-road entered the highway and collided with Sagi‘s bike near Kfar Menachem kibbutz.
Paramedics found him with no pulse, multiple injuries.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sagi was handling aspects of Case 3000, the „Submarines Affair“ involving corruption in Israeli naval deals.
Netanyahu has been questioned in this case but not charged.
Sagi was NOT presiding over Netanyahu‘s main corruption trial (Cases 1000, 2000, 4000).
That case is being heard by a three-judge panel in Jerusalem District Court.
Netanyahu‘s testimony in his primary trial was shortened Monday to allow attendance at Sagi‘s funeral.
Israeli authorities and major news organizations have categorized this as a traffic accident.
An investigation has been launched.
Some regional outlets and social media have called the death „suspicious“ given Sagi‘s role in sensitive cases, but no evidence of foul play has been reported.
