UN hacked in apparent espionage operation
[NYPOST] Sophisticated hackers infiltrated UN offices in Geneva and Vienna last year in an apparent espionage operation and their identity and the extent of the data they obtained is not clear.

An internal confidential document from the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
, leaked to The New Humanitarian and seen by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, says dozens of servers were compromised including at the UN human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
office, which collects sensitive data and has often been a lightning rod of criticism from autocratic governments for exposing rights abuses.

Asked about the report, one UN official told the AP that the hack appeared "sophisticated" and that the extent of the damage remained unclear, especially in terms of personal, secret or compromising information that may have been stolen. The official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity to speak freely about the episode, said systems have since been reinforced.

The skill level was so high it was possible a state-backed actor might have been behind it, the official said.

"It’s as if someone were walking in the sand and swept up their tracks with a broom afterward," the official

It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syrian troops capture Maaret al-Numan in rebel-held Idlib province
[EN.ANNAHAR] Syrian troops are in full control of a key rebel-held town in the country’s northwest after days of intense fighting and Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s that displaced tens of thousands of people, the Syrian army said Wednesday.

The capture of the town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province marks another victory for Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
’s forces, which now control most of Syria after a nearly nine-year conflict that left more than 400,000 people dead and displaced half of Syria’s population.

Syrian government forces have been on the offensive for more than a month in northwestern Idlib province, the last rebel stronghold in the country. But in recent days, the government captured more than a dozen villages in the area as the bully boys’ defenses began to crumble. al-Qaeda linked rebels control much of Idlib province and small parts of the adjacent area in Aleppo.

"Our armed forces continued operations in southern parts of Idlib with the aim of putting an end to crimes committed by terrorist groups," said army front man Brig. Gen. Ali Mayhoub. He listed more than a dozen villages and towns captured, including Maaret al-Numan.
