The release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has ignited a political firestorm in the United Kingdom, while a separate incident saw cryptocurrency wallets drained in a dYdX exploit. Simultaneously, former President Donald Trump's recent social media activity has drawn criticism, and the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has captivated the public.
The UK government found itself at the center of a potentially fatal political storm following the latest release of files connected to the U.S. investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, according to Time. Disclosures from the Epstein investigation have already impacted the monarchy, with Prince Andrew stripped of his royal title late last year. The U.S. Justice Department released more than 3 million Epstein-related files last week, leading to renewed calls for accountability. News in the country over the past few days has been dominated by the fallout spreading to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister.
In other news, malicious code was injected into open-source packages on npm and PyPI, targeting the decentralized derivatives exchange dYdX, as reported by Ars Technica. This malware stole wallet credentials and potentially backdoored devices, putting applications using the compromised versions at risk of complete wallet compromise and cryptocurrency theft.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump posted a racist, 62-second video to his personal Truth Social feed depicting Barack and Michelle Obamas faces superimposed on apes, according to Vox. The post has since been deleted. This incident has reportedly made his party "antsy," according to the same source.
The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has also captured public attention, with the combination of celebrity and social media piling chaos onto the tragedy, according to Vox. Co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has been noticeably absent from the Today show while dealing with an undisclosed issue.
In other news, according to Time, Olympian Jessie Diggins is preparing for her fourth and final Olympic Games in Milano Cortina. Diggins is motivated to share her last Olympic experience with friends, family, and fans. She stated, "That's why I'm here, training my brains out."
