| WORDS OF WISDOM | | "The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater." | | J.R.R. TOLKIEN | | Good morning! Today we're covering China hacking JD Vance, anxiety about the election, and North Korean troops about to fight alongside the Russian military against Ukraine. | | TOP NEWS | | | |
Vance Hacked Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance said on Thursday that his phone was hacked by Chinese entities. Speaking during an episode of the "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, Vance said that Chinese hackers breached his cellphone but that most of his messages were encrypted using third-party apps like Signal.
Last week, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency acknowledged an investigation into "the unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure." The statement said the agencies "immediately notified affected companies, rendered technical assistance, and rapidly shared information to assist other potential victims."
Vance said that the China-based hackers were able to breach his phone using back-end infrastructure originally created to accommodate the Patriot Act and FISA Section 702. FULL STORY | |
Election Anxiety The vast majority of Americans are following the 2024 presidential campaign closely as it heats up in its final days, but they also find the race for the White House nerve-wracking, a new poll shows.
The AP/NORC poll, released on Thursday, captures the complex emotional landscape surrounding the presidential contest, which pits Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump. A significant portion of American adults—75 percent—reported being interested in the race, in which the two candidates are running neck-and-neck.
While engagement is high in the 2024 presidential race, so is a sense of unease. The poll reveals that 69 percent of Americans feel frustrated by the campaign, possibly reflecting a sentiment of dissatisfaction with the political climate and/or campaign strategies. High levels of frustration were reported by affiliates of both major parties, with 72 percent of Democrats and 68 percent of Republicans describing their experience of the campaign as frustrating. Independents share this frustration, mirroring the levels seen among partisans. FULL STORY | |
8,000 Soldiers Up to 8,000 North Korean troops are in Russia's western Kursk region and will likely begin fighting alongside Russian forces against Ukrainian forces in the coming days, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday.
The U.S. government has been monitoring what it believes to be a contingent of about 10,000 North Korean soldiers that arrived in Russia's Far Eastern port city of Vladivostok in recent weeks and has since begun to move west toward the Ukrainian border. "Should these troops engage in combat, or combat support operations against Ukraine, they would become legitimate military targets," Blinken said.
The U.S. Department of Defense previously assessed the North Korean troops would be employed primarily in an infantry role. Blinken, on Thursday, said these North Korean troops may also assist Russian forces with artillery and drone operations. FULL STORY How did you enjoy today's Morning Brief?

Jasper Francis Cropsey, known as "America's painter of autumn," captured the spirit of fall along the Hudson River.
As a member of the 19th-century Hudson River School, Cropsey's detailed and richly colored landscapes celebrated natural beauty. They resonated with a national pride that's still relevant today. His masterpiece, "Autumn—On the Hudson River," weaves in seasonal beauty with the charm of daily human life.
Cropsey traveled from a New York farm to England's skeptical high society, where he displayed North American leaves to prove his vibrant color palette was no exaggeration. His work remains in collections across America and abroad, reminding viewers of the profound beauty of American autumns. | | | | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | |
