Quick Glance: Impending Chinese Hacker Attack on US Infrastructure

FBI Director Christopher Wray warns of an upcoming devastating attack on critical US infrastructure by Chinese hackers.

The Chinese hacking group Volt Typhoon has penetrated companies in the US in energy-rich and water-related sectors.

Active since mid-2021, Volt Typhoon aims to spy on organizations and gain unnoticed access to their networks, as reported by Microsoft.

Pacific castaways’ ‘HELP’ sign sparks US rescue mission – and an unexpected family reunion

cnn.com/2024/04/11/asia/pacific-castaways-pikelot-island-us-rescue-intl-hnk/

Quick Glance: Rescue of Stranded Mariners Using Palm Leaves

Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and using palm leaves to write 'HELP' on the white sand beach, as announced by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The men found themselves stranded on Pikelot Atoll after their boat was damaged during a fishing trip on March 31.

Initiation of the search and rescue operation occurred on April 6 when a family member of the sailors contacted the Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam due to their absence.

Survival supplies were effectively provided to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry redirected to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to finalize the rescue operation, according to officials.

ft.com/content/c760075c-0c5b-4212-a7b6-7b7c28a08991

Quick Glance: Xi emphasizes historical trend of reunion with Taiwan
