The U.S. government is offering up to $10 million for information to help identify a Russian cyber group that hacked thousands of Signal and WhatsApp accounts. The group tricked users into giving access to their accounts, mainly targeting journalists and government workers.
Key Facts
The hacking campaign started at least in March and targets Signal and WhatsApp users.
Attackers send fake messages pretending to be support alerts, asking users to click links or share codes.
If users comply, hackers gain control or access to their accounts and messages.
Signal has a security feature that protects past messages, but attackers found a way to get backups by tricking users into sharing encryption keys.
Two Russian cyber groups linked to the FSB, UNC5792 and UNC4221, are blamed for the attacks.
The U.S. State Department’s Reward for Justice program is offering $10 million for information about these groups.
The campaign targets high-value individuals like U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists.
Attackers also used Signal’s feature for creating group chat links to help in their hacking efforts.

A new study shows that changes in the way dogs walk, especially shorter steps in their front legs, might help spot dementia early in dogs. Veterinarians look for many signs, including memory loss and confusion, but a full check-up is needed to rule out other illnesses before diagnosing canine dementia.
Key Facts
Dogs with cognitive problems tend to take shorter steps with their front legs.
Changes in walking alone cannot diagnose dementia in dogs.
Common signs of dementia in dogs include confusion, forgotten behaviors, anxiety, and changes in activity or sleep.
Owners often mistake dementia symptoms for normal aging, but aging itself is not a disease.
Other health issues like pain or hormonal problems can mimic dementia symptoms.
Veterinarians recommend regular health checks, especially for dogs older than 7 years.
Diagnosing canine dementia involves ruling out other conditions through tests like blood work and scans.
Researchers are studying brain markers that might help diagnose dementia more easily in the future.

Democratic Representative Diana DeGette in Colorado is facing a strong primary challenge from Melat Kiros, a younger left-wing candidate supported by progressive groups. This race is seen as a test of whether recent anti-establishment wins in Democratic primaries represent a new trend or are isolated cases.

The UK government plans to increase prison sentences by up to 10 years for people who kill a partner or ex-partner at home using a weapon. This change aims to better reflect the severity of domestic murders, especially those involving women as victims, and is part of a broader effort to reduce violence against women.
Key Facts
Currently, the starting prison sentence for murder with a weapon taken to the scene is 25 years.
Most domestic murders at home involve a weapon already present, leading to a lower 15-year starting sentence.
The Ministry of Justice wants to raise the starting sentence for domestic killings to close this 10-year gap.
More than 20% of all murders are domestic, with women being the main victims.
The rule change still protects victims of domestic abuse who kill their abusers by keeping the 15-year baseline in those cases.
The plan is being consulted on with the Sentencing Council and will be introduced soon.
Campaigners who lost daughters to domestic killings have supported this change.
The UK government aims to halve violence against women and girls within 10 years and calls it a national emergency.

The UK government will require people granted asylum to repay about £10,000 for the costs of their accommodation and support once they start earning money. These rules will be part of a new Immigration and Asylum Bill to be presented to Parliament.
Key Facts
Refugees and those with indefinite leave to remain must repay around £10,000 for asylum support costs.
Repayment will begin only after individuals earn a certain, yet-to-be-confirmed income level.
The Home Secretary can adjust fees and repayment rules to keep them fair and avoid causing poverty.
Around £4 billion was spent on asylum seeker support in the UK last year.
The average nightly housing cost is £23.25 for public accommodation and £144 for hotels.
Critics say the plan could hurt refugees since many cannot work while their claims are processed.
Data shows only a minority of refugees earn enough to repay £10,000 under the proposed scheme.
The government hopes the bill will create a fair asylum system and reduce illegal migration.
