In other news today, Elon Musk had the Office of Personnel Management send federal workers an email on Saturday, telling them to respond by documenting five examples of what they accomplished on the job last week – and warned that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation”! But some agencies are saying “nope”! For example, the FBI, the State Department, and the Pentagon have all instructed their workers to “pause” any responses. Those three organizations each indicated that their respective leaderships were in charge of reviewing employee performance, and would provide coordinated responses “when and if required”.
Passengers on an American Airlines flight had a TERRIFYING experience Sunday as their plane was diverted because of a BOMB THREAT! The flight was slated to be from New York to New Delhi, when the emailed threat was received. Passengers were told there was a “security” issue, and then that their plane was going to escorted by fighter jets! The flight safely landed at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci International airport, where it AND the passengers were checked out by law enforcement. Authorities determined the threat was a hoax.
And finally today, the world just experienced what’s believed to be the BIGGEST crypto theft EVER!

And cybersecurity experts are pointing the finger at the notorious Lazarus Group, which is alleged to be sponsored by the North Korean government. Bybit is trying to get the money back, and is offering a ten percent REWARD for recovered funds. But the company says that even if it’s unsuccessful, all of its clients will be refunded.
