Hackers Steal More Than $1M From Global Economy In A Single Minute – Worldwide
Hackers are able to steal more than $1 million from the global economy through cyber crime in a single minute, according to a new report released Tuesday. Approximately 1,861 people fall victim to cyberattacks in a span of 60 seconds, while some $1.14 million is stolen, cybersecurity firm RiskIQ found. The project aimed to show the magnitude of the issue of global cybercrime by framing it in terms of an “Evil Internet Minute.” By analyzing both proprietary and third-party research, the firm’s researchers found hackers used a variety of tactics to extract money digitally, including malware, phishing and supply chain attacks that targeted third parties. In addition, cyber criminals issued roughly 1,274 pieces of unique malware each minute. The motives ranged from monetary gain to politics and espionage, RiskIQ found. The problem with cyber thefts will continue to rise as the use of internet expands, said RiskIQ CEO Elias Manousos.

Violent Crime On The Rise As Nashville Grows – Tennessee, United States
As police continue to investigate a recent series of shootings in East Nashville and Madison, residents in the area have remained on alert, some afraid of getting caught themselves in a wave of violent activity.

The killings of a man and a woman who were robbed outside The Cobra bar on Gallatin Avenue early Friday morning have caused residents living in the area to think twice about walking outside at night. The double homicide came on the heels of another man being fatally shot while walking to a bus stop in Madison, a man critically wounded by gunfire moments after that, and a woman shot two weeks ago while walking her dog in Inglewood. “People have been a little more on edge,” said Daniel Yocum, a 25-year-old East Nashvillian who lives a mile away from Cobra and goes out to the bar at night at least once a week.

Eyeing U.S., Iran Says To Boost Military Might, Showcases New Fighter Jet
Iran said on Tuesday it would boost its military might and also showcased a new fighter jet amid increased tensions with the United States and with regional rivals over conflicts in the Middle East. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the Islamic Republic’s military prowess was what deterred Washington from attacking it, adding that under President Donald Trump the United States was becoming isolated even from its own allies. “We should make ourselves ready to fight against the military powers who want to take over our territory and our resources,” Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live on state television ahead of Wednesday’s National Defence Industry Day. “Why does the United States not attack us? Because of our power, because it knows the consequences,” Rouhani added. Last week, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also said the United States would avoid any military confrontation with Tehran because of Iranian military might.
