US officials suspect Iranian hackers are behind a series of breaches of systems that monitor the amount of fuel in storage tanks serving gas stations in multiple states, according to multiple sources briefed on the activity. The hackers responsible have exploited automatic tank gauge systems that were sitting online and unprotected by passwords, allowing them in some cases to tinker with display readings on the tanks but not the actual levels of fuel in them, the sources said.

The discovery of several bones along the edge of a pond in Thailand a decade ago has led scientists to identify a new species of dinosaur—a massive, long-necked, plant-eating giant.

Researchers from Thailand and London have named the species Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis, now recognized as the largest dinosaur ever found in Southeast Asia.

According to a study published Thursday in Scientific Reports, the dinosaur is estimated to have weighed around 27 metric tons (nearly 60,000 pounds) and measured about 27 meters (roughly 89 feet) in length. By comparison, a large Tyrannosaurus rex typically weighed between 9,000 and 15,000 pounds and reached just over 12 meters (about 39 feet) long.

US officials suspect Iranian hackers are behind breaches of fuel monitoring systems at gas stations in multiple states. The attackers exploited unsecured automatic tank gauge systems, allowing them to alter displayed readings but not actual fuel levels. Although no physical damage has been reported, the intrusions raise safety concerns because hackers could potentially hide issues like gas leaks. While Iran is a leading suspect due to past activity, officials may not be able to confirm responsibility with limited forensic evidence.

Real Madrid had a really rough week in May 2026, with players actually fighting during training and both getting hit with big fines. The club president, Florentino Perez, gave a heated press conference where he attacked the media and hinted that major changes could be coming, including at the coaching level. Fans are especially frustrated because star signing Kylian Mbappe hasn’t won any trophies since joining in 2024 and has had some rough stretches on and off the field. Overall, the drama shows a crisis at a club that’s used to winning and doesn’t handle losing seasons very well.
