European authorities say one of the internet’s largest forums for criminal activity has been seized and the man believed to be its operator has been arrested. Gizmodo reports DarkMarket boasted nearly half a million users and over 200,000 re-sellers. On it, they could digitally swap drugs, malware, stolen credit card data, and SIM cards, among other things. Law enforcement co-opted DarkMarket's infrastructure, confiscating over 20 servers in Ukraine and Moldova, where the operation was apparently located. However, officials have yet to reveal just who was arrested in connection with the darknet. They refer to the man only as a 34-year-old 'Australian national' who was apparently taken into custody by police somewhere near the German-Danish border.
The XC40 Recharge is the first of several fully electric Volvos to come and today’s production start represents a significant step towards Volvo Cars’ ambition to reduce its CO2 footprint per car by 40 per cent by 2025. That same year, it expects 50 per cent of its global sales to consist of fully electric cars, with the rest hybrids. Customer demand for the XC40 Recharge has been strong and while order books remain open, every car scheduled to be built this calendar year has already been sold. The first cars are scheduled to be delivered to customers in Europe later this month. The start of customer car production follows a period of preparation in which the Ghent plant has built a limited number of pre-production cars. This process, standard procedure for every new model, aims to optimise the production flow and ensure top-notch quality of every car built. All relevant production staff has also received extensive training on safely building electric cars.
Caracas, Venezuela Sep 10 (EFE), (Camera: Jackdwin Sáez).- Blanca, Ángel and Alí can't wait for Monday. They are elderly people who live alone in Caracas, hard hot by the pandemic and the crisis but, at the beginning of the week, they receive meals for the next five days from the Good Neighbour, a solidarity initiative that helps 1,000 people per month.FOOTAGE OF "GOOD NEIGHBOUR" VOLUNTEERS DELIVERING FOOD AND MASK PRODUCTION:SOUNDBITES OF:-BLANCA DÍAZ:"We receive a pension of some 400,000 bolivars, which is equivalent to 1.30 dollars per month. What can a person do with 1,30 dollars per month?-VERÓNICA GÓMEZ, JOURNALIST AND VOLUNTEER OF GOOD NEIGHBOUR:"No, I don't want to go to nursing homes. I want to go to the houses of those old people who don't have their children here because they had to leave the country.""Little by little, we have grown and that 50 meals now have turned into 1,000 meals per week. Today we deliver food to 200 people every week. They alternate so those who receive their meals this week won't get them next week but in 15 days so this way we can deliver meals to 1,000 people during a month.""Most of them are retired, their children live abroad and they're over 60. In our database, most of them are between 60 and 70 years old...They are alone at home and the neighbours are who register them and, on some occasions, the neighbours were the ones helping them so when they knew about the Good Neighbour they saw it as economic relief for themselves. They now know that, apart from the community, they have other people who can help them.""In a recent interview with a friend, he asked me 'do you see these old people worse now?' And I said "A lot." Some of them, 5 months ago, looked impeccable, shaved, with their (clean) clothes...the clothes are now too big, they don't shave, they don't tuck in their shirts...They are alone, they don't speak with anyone. I always say that the best part of the Good Neighbour is not the food but the company. They even have our personal numbers."-ANGELO RANGEL, LEADER OF MASK INITIATIVE IN CARACAS:"A month ago we wanted to start the production of masks. The initiative was born due to the need because there aren't masks. It is uncomfortable because we are showing a reality that shouldn't exist, I mean, it should be a state that guarantees all this."
