500 million yahoo accounts hacked

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Yahoo confirmed on Thursday data "associated with at least 500 million user accounts" have been stolen in what may be one of the largest cybersecurity breaches ever.

The company said it believes a "state-sponsored actor" was behind the data breach, meaning an individual acting on behalf of a government. The breach is said to have occurred in late 2014.

"The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers," Yahoo said in a statement.

Yahoo urges users to change their password and security questions and to review their accounts for suspicious activity.

The silver lining for users -- if there is one -- is that sensitive financial data like bank account numbers and credit card data are not believed to be included in the stolen information, according to Yahoo.

Yahoo is working with law enforcement to learn more about the breach.

"The FBI is aware of the intrusion and investigating the matter," an FBI spokesperson said. "We take these types of breaches very seriously and will determine how this occurred and who is responsible. We will continue to work with the private sector and share information so they can safeguard their systems against the actions of persistent cyber criminals."

A large-scale data breach was first rumored in August when a hacker who goes by the name of "Peace" claimed to be selling data from 200 million Yahoo users online. The same hacker has previously claimed to sell stolen accounts from LinkedIn and MySpace.

Yahoo originally said it was "aware of a claim" and was investigating the situation. Nearly two months later, it turns out the situation is even worse.

"This is massive," said cybersecurity expert Per Thorsheim on the scale of the hack. "It will cause ripples online for years to come."

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal called for tougher legislation to "make sure companies are properly and promptly notifying consumers when their data has been compromised."

"If Yahoo knew about the hack as early as August, and failed to coordinate with law enforcement, taking this long to confirm the breach is a blatant betrayal of their users' trust," he said in a statement.

Re/code first reported Yahoo would confirm the data breach.

The data breach comes at a sensitive time for Yahoo.

Verizon agreed to buy Yahoo's core properties for $4.83 billion in late July, just days before the hack was first reported. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017.

Verizon says it only learned of the breach this week.

"Within the last two days, we were notified of Yahoo's security incident," a spokesperson for Verizon said in a statement provided to CNNMoney.

We understand Yahoo is conducting an active investigation of this matter, but we otherwise have limited information and understanding of the impact."

The mega-breach could create a headache for both companies, including damaging press, scrutiny from regulators and a user exodus, just as they're working to close the deal and figure out the future of Yahoo.

Blumenthal said law enforcement and regulators "should investigate whether Yahoo may have concealed its knowledge of this breach in order to artificially bolster its valuation in its pending acquisition by Verizon."

Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby was put in jail on friday then released on bond of $50,000 on that day.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Shelby, who's charged with manslaughter, was booked into the local county jail and released shortly afterward on $50,000 bond.

The family of Terence Crutcher, the man Shelby shot, called the charge "a small victory." The police officer's attorney called it a "rush to judgment."

"I'm a little bit shocked about how quickly she was charged," attorney Scott Wood said.

It's not clear when Shelby will appear in court. Wood said he expects an arraignment date to be set in the next seven to 10 days.

The case drew widespread attention after police released videos showing Crutcher walking on the road with his arms in the air before the shooting.

Key points from the court documents

Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler announced the charge Thursday.

Filings in the case give a glimpse of the arguments prosecutors could make eventually in court.

After summarizing what videos of the shooting show in a probable cause affidavit, Tulsa County district attorney's office Investigator Doug Campbell came to a conclusion.

Shelby, he wrote, "reacted unreasonably by escalating the situation ... becoming emotionally involved to the point that she over reacted."

The criminal complaint against Shelby said her "fear resulted in her unreasonable actions which led her to shooting" Crutcher, 40. She is accused of "unlawfully and unnecessarily" shooting him after he did not comply with her "lawful orders."

The possible penalty for conviction on first-degree manslaughter in Oklahoma is four years to life, according to Susan Witt, the spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.

Attorney: Officer has gotten death threats

Wood, Shelby's attorney, said the officer has been receiving death threats.

Asked where Shelby went after her release from jail Friday morning, Wood said, "We just want to make sure she is in a safe place at all times."

But not all the responses have been negative, he said.

Wood told CNN he's received many calls from lawyers and expert witnesses who want to help in Shelby's defense.

Sister: 'The chain breaks here'

Attorneys for Crutcher's family said Thursday they will be seeking a "vigorous prosecution" that results in a conviction.

"This is a small victory," Crutcher's twin sister, Tiffany, told reporters.

"The chain breaks here. We're going to break the chains of police brutality," she added. "We know the history."

What cameras showed

Crutcher's family said he was waiting for help after his SUV broke down. Shelby's attorney said the officer thought Crutcher was behaving strangely and ignored her commands, and she was afraid he might be reaching for a weapon.

It all started after a 911 call September 16 from a woman who said an abandoned car was blocking the street and a man was running away. The man warned it was going to blow up, the caller said.

Shelby was the first officer to arrive on the scene, though she was not responding to the 911 call. She was on her way to a domestic violence call when she saw Crutcher standing in the street, according to investigators.

She stopped behind his car, which was a block away.

The chief investigator said in an affidavit that Shelby then approached the car, "cleared the driver's side front and then proceeded toward the passenger side of the vehicle." Then she saw Crutcher and talked to him.

"He was mumbling to himself and would not answer any of officer Shelby's questions," according to the affidavit.

Police cameras, including ones mounted in squad cars and in a helicopter, captured the Crutcher shooting on tape. In the video, Crutcher can be seen with his hands raised above his head before his death. He walks away from Shelby toward his car.

There was no weapon found in the car.

Fox news did interviews with both the teacher,Lee Francis,and the student who decided to take a photo and step in and save the flag. While his parents side with him as his father was in the military,many of the students are actually siding with the teacher. He decided to first take a photo of the teacher on the flag. Then,he picked up the flag and went to the principal´s office. The teacher thinks that the student should be punished for ¨breaking the law¨ for taking the photo and sharing it on facebook.

Alex Dunn is Captain America.

The 16-year-old junior at Massey Hill Classical High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is a red, white and blue patriot who loves America.

And he especially loves the American flag.
Click here to join Todd's American Dispatch: a must-read for Conservatives!
"I have a father in the military who taught me the way to respect the flag," Alex told me.

When he saw that his teacher was desecrating the flag during a classroom discussion, the teenager knew he had to do something. And what he did has patriots across the fruited plain cheering.
History teacher Lee Francis admitted he desecrated the flag during a lesson on the First Amendment.
First, he asked the students for a lighter. Then, he picked up a pair of scissors on his desk and tried to cut the flag. When that did not work, he tossed it on the ground and stomped on Old Glory.

"It was such a disgraceful thing for a person to do - especially in front of so many military children who understand the meaning of the flag - apparently unlike him," he said.

Alex was appalled at what his teacher had done.

"I didn't want to believe that it was really happening," he said. "But when he stepped on the flag - I just thought about all these men and women who fought for that flag that he just walked on - all these men and women who've come home with that flag draped over their coffin."

So Alex grabbed his phone and snapped a photo - a photo that would eventually go viral on Facebook. Then, the teenager rose from his seat, picked up the flag and took the defiled banner to the principal's office.

"We are extremely proud of him," Alex's mother told me. "He did the right thing."

However, doing the right thing could land the brave, young patriot in hot water.

Mr. Francis told me Alex "broke the law" and should be punished.

"I believe that child does need to be punished in some way - absolutely," the teacher told me. "I can't take a picture of them, and in turn, they cannot do the same of me."

I called the Cumberland County District Attorney's office as well as the local superintendent to find out if any laws or rules had been broken. Neither agency returned my calls.

"If it's within Mr. Francis' rights to stomp on it, cut it and try to burn it, then it is within my child's rights to defend that flag," Mrs. Dunn said.

Sadly, many of the teenager's classmates are siding with the teacher.

"There was much more support for what he did than what I did," he said - noting that some students even protested by refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

The question really isn't about desecrating the flag. The school teacher certainly has the right to demonstrate his hatred of America.

"But was it appropriate in a classroom in front of children -- in front of military children? No, it was not," Mrs. Dunn told me. "It wasn't the appropriate place to defile an American flag.

I hope the school district or the district attorney does not punish Alex Dunn.

But should that happen, I would be more than honored to stand up and serve the punishment in his place.

And I'd wager there are plenty of American patriots across this great nation who would be willing to do the same.

Thank you, Alex Dunn for reminding us that America is still the land of the free and the home of the brave.

South Korea reveals it has a plan to assassinate Kim Jong Un

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Asked in parliament Wednesday if there was a special forces unit already assembled that could eliminate North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, Han Min-koo said: "Yes, we do have such a plan. "

"South Korea has a general idea and plan to use precision missile capabilities to target the enemy's facilities in major areas as well as eliminating the enemy's leadership," he added.

It has long been suspected that such a plan was in place but the minister's candid answer surprised some.

"A president would want to have the option," says Daniel Pinkston of Troy University. "... Not presenting that to the president, not training for it and having that capability would be a mistake."

South Korea has intensified its rhetoric against the leadership of North Korea since Pyongyang claimed a successful test of a nuclear warhead on September 9.

This week it tested a new type of high powered rocket engine of the type that could be used for an intercontinental ballistic missile.

'Worst case scenario'

The defense ministry has said it is planning for the worst case scenario and assumed North Korea was ready to conduct a sixth nuclear test.

Earlier this month, Leem Ho Young, Chief Director of Strategic Planning at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described a new system called the Korea Massive Punishment & Retaliation (KMPR) just hours after North Korea claimed it had tested a nuclear warhead.

It would involve surgical missile attacks, exclusive special warfare units and an ability to strike North Korea's leadership if South Korea feels threatened by nuclear attack.

Meanwhile, North Korea accused the United States of pushing the peninsula to the brink of war after this week's flyover of two US B-1B bombers close to the DMZ or demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea.

A US military source told CNN this is the closest this type of bomber has ever flown to North Korea.

Pyongyang said it was a "vicious scenario to make a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK," according to state-run news agency KCNA.

Growing up in Kenya, Salima Visram, 23, was exposed at an early age to the importance of education.

"When I realized that I had access to education, but a lot of kids right outside didn't have the same privilege, I thought it wasn't fair, and that every child deserved the right to education," she told ABC News.

Around the world, 58 million children between the ages of 6 and 11 don't have access to education and 100 million children did not finished primary education in 2015, according to UNESCO 'S 2015 EFA Global Monitoring Report, "Education For All 2000-2015: Achievements and Challenges."

One of those reasons, Visram said, is the lack of access to electricity for children living in poverty. According to International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook, as of 2015, there are 1.3 billion people in the world without electricity.

"I never really saw the importance, but never really understood that electricity was actually at the center of all these issues," she said. "And when I realized that it had a direct impact on education, health, and economic empowerment, I decided that it was the best place to target all three issues."

That's when Visram came up with the idea to create The Soular Backpack; a backpack equipped with solar panels that charge up LED light that can then allow kids without access to electricity to study at night.

"A child generally carries the backpack to school. The backpack has a solar panel on it and, as they walk to school, the sun's energy is being collected in the lamp," said Visram who studied international development at McGill University in Montreal. "When they come home every night, and they switch on the lamp, [they] can study for up to five hours for every hour they spend in the sun."

After a successful crowdfunding campaign this past December raising $50,000 dollars, which was enough for the first 2,500 bags, she has been distributing the bags in parts of Kenya including the Kibera slums, Kakamega, Kisumu and Kikumbala Village.

Visram partnered with Academy Award Actress Lupita Nyong'o after Nyong'o heard about the backpacks in 2015, shortly after finishing filming Disney's Queen of Katwe.

"I played Harriet, the mother to Phiona Mutesi, who finds herself in abject poverty and struggling to keep her family together and provide for them," Nyong'o told ABC News.

"Phiona wants to study chess. And in one of the scenes, she lights the kerosene lamp to do some studying at night, and her mother reminds her that it's expensive and that she couldn't afford it, so she has to switch it off," she added. "And eventually in the film she finds a way to keep that light on."

This past July, Visram and Nyong'o were part of a distribution event in the slums of Katwe, Uganda where only 20 percent of the population has access to electricity according to the 2014 Uganda Bureau of Statistics report. Many families use a quarter of their income to power their homes with kerosene.

"It was very moving and I really enjoyed distributing the bags and seeing the eager look in the students' faces," said Nyong'o. "There is a hunger for education and I felt that today. And the appreciation for the opportunity to give them the power to pursue their dreams and their goals."

"I think this project has the power to change the world and I would like to see it move worldwide," said Nyong'o. "To see children take charge of their education and be able to support themselves in this very, very simple and practical way I think is extremely powerful. Because when you give a child that kind of illumination, they can excel better in school because they have the power to educate themselves."

Soular Backpack says that for every backpack purchased, one will be provided free of charge to a child in Africa. "We really hope that through the provision of these backpacks, they're able to study every night and take control of their own education, so that they can become whatever they want to become in the future."

"Queen of Katwe" is a Disney production. Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Applicants have to complete a gun safety training class and pass a criminal background check performed by the local sheriff. With a clean record and no history of mental illness, a permit must be issued. But a bill sitting on Gov. Jay Nixon’s desk would make that system moot for many Missourians by eliminating the requirement to get a permit to legally walk around in public with concealed guns. The penalty for carrying a firearm into buildings where it is not allowed would be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor. Not to mention that Missouri is one of the leading states in gun violence, number 1 is Alaska, Missouri is 12th place out of 50 states
