What happened
Multiple security and regulatory developments: The European Commission alleges Meta breached the Digital Services Act by failing to identify, assess and mitigate risks of children under 13 accessing its platforms. Swiss and German police arrested 10 suspected members of the Nigeria-linked Black Axe criminal network, including a regional leader believed to run operations in Southern Europe. U.S. Cyber Command and the NSA warned lawmakers that foreign adversaries are likely to target the upcoming midterm elections; military leadership said forces are postured to support election defense.
