2. Hackers Breach Multiple ID Verification Companies, Monitor for Over a Year Community
According to Techdirt, hackers carried out long-term intrusions against multiple identity verification companies, gaining real-time monitoring access that lasted over a year and allowing them to view the identity verification data streams these companies scanned and processed. The leaked data has already appeared on the dark web: a hacker on the Nexus dark web is selling more than 153 million scanned U.S. driver’s licenses, and possesses over 10 million ID documents, 3 million travel documents, and 579,000 medical cards. The FBI has launched an investigation. The incident exposes systemic risks in the identity verification supply chain regarding third-party access control.

6. Artificial Beaver Dams Raise Juvenile Coho Salmon Survival Rate from 8% to 60% Community
According to Discover Wildlife, in an ecological restoration project in California, artificially constructed beaver dams significantly improved the survival rate of juvenile coho salmon. Data show that after the artificial beaver dams were installed, the juvenile coho salmon survival rate rose from 8% to 60%. The artificial beaver dams create more favorable conditions for juvenile fish by altering water flow speed, increasing water depth, and creating habitat.

8. NASA’s Roman Space Telescope Launches, Will Map Cosmic Dark Matter Community
NASA successfully launched the Roman Space Telescope at 7:26 a.m. local time on Sunday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, using a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The telescope is about 12 meters tall, cost more than $4 billion, and was developed over more than a decade. The Roman Space Telescope is named after Nancy Grace Roman, who served as NASA’s chief of astronomy and was called the “Mother of Hubble” for her role in advancing the Hubble Space Telescope program. The telescope aims to observe the universe from a panoramic perspective, produce unprecedented maps of the universe, and explore unresolved mysteries in physics such as dark energy and dark matter. Previously, the Hubble Telescope revealed that the universe is expanding faster than expected, and the Roman telescope will further explore in this direction.
9. U.S. Government Sides with OpenAI on Copyrighted Training Material Issue Community
In a court brief filed by the U.S. government, it expressed support for OpenAI’s position on using copyrighted material to train large language models. The brief states: “The United States has a strong interest in continuing to develop a powerful and competitive AI industry that will set the practices and procedures for AI use globally.” This statement is an important signal of the federal government’s position in the copyright dispute over AI training data and could have a direct impact on ongoing related litigation.
10. Second Complete Connectome Map of a Fruit Fly Brain Completed Community
According to Ars Technica, scientists have completed a second complete connectome map of a fruit fly brain—a detailed mapping of all neurons and their connections. A complete map of a female fruit fly brain already existed; this time, the corresponding map for a male fruit fly brain has been completed. This means the connectome of the fruit fly brain, a model organism, has now been fully mapped twice, providing foundational data for comparative neuroscience research.
