Cancun Takes Proactive Measures To Ensure Tourist Areas Remain Safe – Mexico
A military police base has been established just north of Cancun in Isla Mujeres as Mexican officials take proactive steps to ensure the destination’s popular tourist areas remain safe. President Enrique Pena Nieto said Cancun and surrounding areas “should offer optimal security conditions for the millions of visitors who come here each year,” the Associated Press reported. The U.S. State Department issued an updated travel advisory for Mexico as recently as this past summer indicating that there are no travel restrictions in place for Americans visiting Mexico’s major tourist destinations such as Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and the Riviera Maya. While there’s no denying parts of Quintana Roo and other regions of the country as a whole have experienced an uptick in violent crimes based on the latest figures there were 342 homicides in Cancun over the first eight months of 2018 compared to 148 in the same period last year, according to the AP it must be pointed out that a vast majority of crime doesn’t impact tourists, despite what some mainstream media reporting might suggest.

New State-Backed Espionage Campaign Targets Military And Government – United States
A newly uncovered and likely state-backed hacking operation is attacking governments and military organizations, using publicly available tools to execute a targeted cyber-espionage campaign. Dubbed Gallmaker, the group has been active since at least December 2017 and doesn’t use malware to gain access to and control Windows systems; instead using tools like Metasploit and PowerShell to gain access to information in targeted attacks. Discovered by researchers at Symantec, the hacking campaign is said to have targeted several overseas embassies of an unspecified Eastern European country in different regions around the world, as well as a series of military and defense targets in the Middle East that don’t appear to carry any specific links to the government target.

China, Russia, North Korea Call For Adjusted Sanctions Ahead Of Denuclearization
Chinese, Russian and North Korean deputy foreign ministers have met in Moscow to coordinate a trilateral approach to the denuclearization process on the Korean peninsula, and called on the U.N. Security Council to “adjust” the current sanctions regime against Pyongyang. This is in contrast to the Trump administration’s declaration that tough sanctions would remain on North Korea until its complete denuclearization. “It is time to start considering the adjustment of the U.N. Security Council’s sanction regime against the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea]. The three parties also oppose unilateral sanctions,” the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement released on Wednesday, a day after the working-level talks in Moscow. China’s foreign affairs vice-minister, Kong Xuanyou, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Igor Morgulov and North Korea’s foreign vice-minister, Choe Son-hui, discussed the three countries’ cooperation during the denuclearization process.
