Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer were among nearly 40 House Democrats who did not sign Pramila Jayapal's letter defending Ilhan Omar's probe.

Cybersecurity threats are emerging left and right, with the most prominent event happening last week in what experts call Black October. However, while that web meltdown took most of the oxygen out of the room, Microsoft was tracking another event that affected hundreds of companies around the globe.

Days before the php2shell threat hit its peak of hysteria online, Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence team was focused on a major event that directly attacked enterprise systems. It found that a Chinese hacking group called Storm-0940 weaponized an agentic AI testing platform named ARTEX to launch automated attacks on hundreds of companies worldwide, intending to steal data.

ConnectWise admits that it doesn’t know which partners were hacked or if any data was moved.

Even worse, the attack led to bad actors accessing some companies’ cloud backup systems, which contained sensitive encrypted data locked behind privileged access. It only took three hours for the automated attacks to breach cybersecurity measures — far fewer than the 5-10 hours that security experts typically need to crack a system.

The speed and efficiency of the attack further outlines how AI poses an existential risk to online infrastructure that is either outdated, unsecured with the latest software, or riddled with zero-day vulnerabilities that have yet to be discovered.

One of the groups affected by the attack was ConnectWise, an IT management software company that provides a list of services, including remote monitoring and management for company servers, laptops, and desktops; remote access features to offer help-desk support; and cloud backup and recovery for critical business data. Some of the partners on its website include Swarovski, Bic, and Panasonic, though the full client list includes more than 20,000.

In short, ConnectWise is directly integrated into the digital fabric of its partners with access to devices, data, and everything else hackers would love to take for themselves. That means that attackers who want to get to ConnectWise’s partners don’t have to go to each company and hack them individually. They can simply target ConnectWise itself to obtain a treasure trove of data.

According to Microsoft, the Chinese-state hackers used AI to implement a supply chain attack on the OAuth app that protects ConnectWise Cloud Backup, the service that contains client cloud backup data. Once inside, hackers reportedly tried to change the system privileges to broaden data access. However, Microsoft notes that there’s currently no proof that client data was actually accessed or taken — just that hackers broke into the system.

ConnectWise was quick to respond. The company revoked the certificates connected to Cloud Backup to cut the hackers off. This rendered their supply chain attack null and void. ConnectWise also confirmed that its clients’ cloud backup archives are still securely encrypted, so if hackers did move data out of ConnectWise’s system, it should still be safe. The company has found no evidence so far that any of the archives were taken.

That said, a lack of evidence doesn’t necessarily mean a crime didn’t occur. ConnectWise admits that its systems aren’t built to track its clients’ saved data. As a result, it doesn’t know which partners were hacked or if any data was moved. Instead, ConnectWise customers are compelled to review their own data for signs of tampering.

The ConnectWise breach is just one piece of a broader emerging situation where AI bots scour every corner of the web, looking for unknown flaws to exploit. At this point, no one is safe — businesses, infrastructure, and private citizens. Still, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do. We surfed the web and compiled a robust list of ways you can protect yourself, your accounts, and your private data from the PHP meltdown and any other major cybersecurity event that could unfold over the coming months and years.

Comedian Kathy Griffin claims that if the Democrats don't win the midterm elections, then the U.S. will become a "fully fascist nation," and that she cannot sleep "because of fascism."

Neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor his main opponent, Gadi Eisenkot, won a majority in Israel's election Tuesday.

As of Thursday morning, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, alongside its religious and nationalist allies, are projected to secure 53 seats. Former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar, alongside its anti-Netanyahu allies, won 48 seats.

'If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so.'

With 61 seats needed to govern, neither leader can govern without convincing smaller parties to defect. Both blocs have sworn off cooperation with the Arab-led Ra'am and Joint List, which nabbed 19 seats total.

Arab turnout hit roughly 80%, about 25% higher than 2022, according to Israeli business publication Globes.

Netanyahu released a statement Wednesday accusing the Arab parties of voter fraud.

"The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters," Netanyahu said.

Overall turnout reached a 27-year high of 77.7% as of Thursday, according to the Central Elections Committee.

"There hasn't been such a nationwide voter turnout since 1973," committee Director-General Dean Livne said, according to the Times of Israel.

Though active-duty soldiers' and diplomats' ballots are still being counted, it is unlikely that the few remaining ballots will move the needle.

Anyone hoping to replace Netanyahu "will, in fact, need to turn to us," Arab Joint List Chairman Yousef Jabareen told Israeli radio Oct. 13. His conditions include a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines, JNS reported.

“An Eisenkot government is a government that is controlled in fact by Abbas and the Muslim Brotherhood," one Likud ad warned, according to JNS.

Netanyahu posted advertisements on election day warning that Arab and Muslim turnout could drown the right-wing vote.

Though Israel is the subject of frequent global interest, especially with regard to the Gaza war and associated campaigns, these are not political fault lines in the country itself. Most major parties oppose a Palestinian state and believe the anti-terrorism campaign should continue.

Other controversial subjects dominated campaign season in the Jewish state. Whether the military draft exemption should be continued for the Haredi, also known as Ultra-Orthodox, is a major question on the ballot this election.

More than anything, the election is seen by many Israelis as a referendum on Netanyahu himself, who has served as prime minister on and off for nearly two decades.

President Donald Trump gave Netanyahu his full endorsement leading up to Election Day.

Trump called Netanyahu a "Great Warrior Prime Minister" on Truth Social Oct. 18 and tied future American action against Iran to his re-election.

"If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so," Trump wrote.

Trump promoted Netanyahu again just a week later and two days prior to polls opening.

"Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister, we have to finish the job that we started!" Trump posted Sunday. Netanyahu personally requested the second endorsement, Axios reported.

Netanyahu pushed for a joint strike on Iran before the vote, but Trump "did not give a green light," CNN reported, citing U.S. and Israeli sources. The prime minister's office called the report "fake news."

Ultimately, Israeli President Isaac Herzog is responsible for selecting a prime minister.

Once results are certified Tuesday, Herzog will choose the candidate he believes has the best chance of forming a government. The Herzog-tapped politico then has 28 days, plus a possible 14-day extension, to form a ruling coalition. If no coalition is formed, Israelis will return to the polls with Netanyahu presiding over a caretaker government.

"I don't think the president of the United States or anybody else can intervene in my discretion," Herzog told MS NOW when asked about Trump’s endorsement..

Netanyahu remains on trial on corruption charges. Herzog "would not currently grant" his pardon request and offered to mediate plea talks instead, the Times of Israel reported in May.

Netanyahu, after 16 years in office, has a contingent of die-hard supporters.

"There's no one who can replace Bibi," said Zohar Hindi, a voter near Maale Levona, according to the Times of Israel.

Don’t get your hopes up

Much like the government, school boards can bury a lot in thousands of pages of agendas and budget documents — but artificial intelligence is changing that.

Moms for Liberty co-founder and CEO Tina Descovich introduces AWARE, a new AI-powered platform designed to stop schools from making changes that could not only harm their children, but their families.

“So you’re a parent. What if every time, you know, your school board tried to sneak in a gender policy or a DEI crap in their agenda because that’s what they do. They dump it in, they do it quickly, and then they bury it, and you don’t know about it,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn explains.

“What would happen if every time they tried to do that,” he continues, “your phone pinged and alerted you?”

And that’s exactly what Descovich has created.

“We have harnessed the power of AI to solve a problem,” Descovich tells Glenn, adding, “We have leveled the playing field.”

“For decades, the radical left educational institutions have really had the advantage. We launched five years ago, and I feel like we’ve been running like crazy to catch up to all the money and all the power and all the information that they have. We’ve been playing whack-a-mole all over the country,” she explains.

“And now, through M4L AWARE, we have a dashboard right here at our national headquarters where we can see everything. We can see the trends, we can see what’s going on, and we’ve built the infrastructure over the last five years to be able to deliver this locally to what’s happening at your most local district,” she continues.

Descovich tells Glenn that through this program, they’ve found “things as interesting and peculiar as a school district deciding the night before they’re going to have a school board meeting at 6:00 a.m. the next morning.”

“Our system, AWARE, scrapes the systems every 12 hours, all the school boards across the country, and it delivers it to our inbox. It’s incredible because it ranks them too,” she adds.

The system is only two weeks old, but they’ve already found “a million dollars buried in a $40 million budget for putting telehealth services in all the schools in a school district.”

“Schools are becoming almost mental health centers, you know this, with social emotional learning. They’re putting therapists in schools and then billing the parents' insurance. Kids have access to mental health services at schools without parental permission,” she explains.

“That is a gross violation of parental rights,” she says, noting that telehealth is even being put in elementary schools.

“That means your child can get on a phone at the school and talk to a therapist without the parent ever knowing what type of therapist, what the therapist is discussing with them,” she continues.

“It’s mind-blowing,” she adds.
