Insikt Group, a team of threat researchers under cybersecurity company Recorded Future, said it identified over 400 servers in the region that had communicated with custom malware families like Chinoxy and FunnyDream over the past nine months. Affected countries include Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The malware compromised everything from militaries to central government offices. Insikt told the Associated Press it believes the targeting is state-sponsored because it “aligns with the political and economic goals of the Chinese government....

The privately run Hangzhou Safari Park concealed the escape for nearly three weeks to prevent negative publicity that could have affected its visitor numbers during last week’s May Day holiday, according to an announcement from the Fuyang District government. The park staff had initially denied reports any leopards had escaped, according to The Paper, a state-run online newspaper. It was not until a week after the animals were reportedly first spotted by local residents, and police began a subsequent investigation, that the park notified the public....

Li-Meng Yan, a former post-doctoral fellow at Hong Kong University who has spread theories about the origins of the virus via two non-peer reviewed papers, hit out at the social media giant Wednesday after it placed a fact-checking warning over a link to an interview she conducted with India-based news outlet WION in September. “Since when could Facebook judge the validity of scientific evidence?” Yan wrote after the news publication complained that its content had been censored....

MORE: Eagles best shot is Foles | Week 6 images WATCH: Nick Foles highlights Most onlookers suspected why, and Kelly confirmed it Monday. “Well, obviously, Tampa Bay is known for trying to attack and disrupt the snap, so it’s just something we worked on and talked about, tried to take him out of that element where they are not going to disrupt the center-quarterback exchange,’’ the Eagles head coach told reporters at practice....

It’s perk-planning season. As companies continue their cost-cutting, crowd-pleasing trend toward flexible benefits, workers poring over menus will consider their own lifestyles and family needs, but there’s one other concerned party they should remember: the IRS might be peering over their shoulders as they place their orders. Manhattan tax attorney Stuart Kessler warns that if the money is made available for immediate use, the whole pot could be taxable income....

Chiropractic Adjustment Someone dealing with joint pain, back pain, or headaches might consider visiting a chiropractor. One of the reasons people seek chiropractic care is because it is a completely drug-free therapy. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore normal joint function and muscle balance. Treatments are also promoted for reducing stress on the immune system or reducing the potential for disease—although there is no evidence that chiropractic treatment impacts the immune system or the susceptibility to disease....

World War II is often a stodgy setting for a film. It’s the most frequently discussed conflict of all time, both in reality and in fiction, but the most realistic takes on the concept seem primarily fit for someone’s dad. However, if a creator is willing to get away from the grounded historical elements, there’s a lot of tension and endless personal stories to play with.

NPR’s “Up First,” a 12-minute news-update podcast I listen to every day, led off with the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, of which the United States has not been a part for nearly 250 years. It was the 11th day of coverage of the 96-year-old’s death. However you feel about the queen, what was striking was that the lead story wasn’t President Biden’s extended remarks on CBS’s 60 Minutes promising planes in the sky, ships on the sea, and boots on the ground if China attacks Taiwan....

Traditional crossbreeding methods are already used to make corn sweeter and rose more beautiful, but they’re time- and labor-intensive–and leave too much to chance. Using the new technology, scientists plan to reduce plants’ susceptibility to buys and disease–and to improve their taste, nutrition and longevity. A herbicide-resistant gene from the petunia is now being put into the soybean plant. And researchers are even looking at bananas and potatoes that can deliver built-in vaccines for diseases....

“I understand why that was a problem for CNN,” Chris Cuomo said on the Thursday night broadcast of his CNN program, Cuomo Prime Time. Chris Cuomo said he had been “looped into calls” with his brother’s advisors, friends and staff after his brother’s situation regarding sexual harassment allegations “became turbulent.” Andrew Cuomo has been accused of sexual harassment or misconduct by nine women.

Based on The New Yorker short story Escape From Spiderhead by George Saunders, the official synopsis from Netflix reads, “Two inmates (Miles Teller & Junree Smollett) form a connection while grappling with their pasts in a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by a brilliant visionary (Hemsworth) who experiments on his subjects with mind-altering drugs.” The trailer for Spiderhead opens with Hemsworth’s visionary Steve Abnesti observing one of his inmates played by Teller....

Chris Jericho was vocal in defence of Marko Stunt at the time, taking to social media to call-out people who thought that Stunt is simply too small to be a wrestler and was hurting the business. I wanted to get more of Jericho’s thoughts on this matter and I was able to do so during a recent interview with the man himself. Here’s what he had to say: You were public in defence of Marko Stunt in that people feel he’s not the right build or the right size for the industry and you compared him to Rey Mysterio....

On Tuesday against the Devils, it was center Scott Wilson, who was a bit away from making his NHL debut. There was a reason he went first. Wilson, the 209th pick in 2011, has 12 AHL points so far. The thought was that he’d replace center Sidney Crosby, who was sick this morning. As it turned out, Crosby was fine; it was linemate Chris Kunitz, who took the morning skate, who was scratched against New Jersey....

Veteran guard Paul was dealt by the Rockets, along with multiple draft picks, to the Thunder as part of the Russell Westbrook trade earlier this month. A nine-time NBA All-Star, Paul – who briefly played in Oklahoma City at the beginning of his career when the then-New Orleans Hornets were displaced by Hurricane Katrina – addressed the move in an Instagram post on Wednesday. “So thankful to the city of Houston for all your generosity and kindness toward my family and me these past few years!...

Sabin interrupted Moose’s promo in which he was discussing his unfortunate loss to IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Kenny Omega at Against All Odds 2021. The record eight-time X-Division Champion took out the self-proclaimed Wrestling God with a Missile dropkick and a chair shot to the head. Sabin demanded a fight with Moose on the same episode, but the latter quickly made his way back to recuperate from the attack. In a backstage promo moments later, Chris Sabin officially challenged Moose for a match at Slammiversary 2021....
