The large amount of port projects'are'evidence of China's "long game" strategy, according to Wooley.

(REUTERS/Feisal Omar) FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL'A State Department spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Signal Wednesday that no new Somali refugees have been admitted to the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office.

2+ hour, 49+ min ago (635+ words) When a ransomware attack shuts down dispatch, drivers don't move, shipments stall, and customers lose confidence. Last year, Estes Express Lines was hit by a cyberattack that froze its freight operations for nearly a week. Around the same time, Ward Transport & Logistics confirmed it had been targeted too, forcing temporary shutdowns across its systems." Then, in July 2024, a faulty global software update from CrowdStrike caused IT systems to crash across industries " grounding flights, freezing logistics networks, and exposing just how dependent critical operations have become on interconnected technology. Each of these incidents underscores a new reality: IT outages and cyber threats are now business threats. The transportation and logistics sector " once seen as an unlikely target " is now one of the most vulnerable industries to cyber disruption. Many fleets still run dispatch, routing, and maintenance systems built a decade ago…...

5+ hour, 57+ min ago (654+ words) Organizations use third-party software and develop their own applications to make their business function. Such applications are often essential to operations, which means the security of those apps is also of great importance. The principal goal of application security is to prevent attackers -- whether internal or external -- from accessing, modifying or deleting sensitive or proprietary data. It is also important to prevent attackers from altering or modifying applications, as this makes them more vulnerable to cyberattacks. From initial application research and requirements definition activities to final deployment and launching of maintenance, security should be a major factor at each stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). When developing or adopting an application, define the app, what it will do, its scope of activities, who will access it and other criteria defined by the business units using it. This step includes…...

The team behind React JavaScript library and Vercel, which created the Next.js framework based on React, disclosed the vulnerability this week, urging users to apply fixes to the vulnerability, which garnered a maximum CVSS severity rating of 10. "Regarding Next.js, the framework itself is present in 69% of environments," they wrote. "Notably, 61% of those environments have public applications running Next.js, meaning that 44% of all cloud environments have publicly exposed Next.js instances (regardless of the version running)."
