Trump Told Netanyahu To "Rectify" Situation After Syria Attack: White House
Washington: US President Donald Trump was not kept in the loop about Israeli strikes on Syria and had to call Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu to rectify the situation, the White House said on Monday (local time). Israel last week attacked Syria's capital, Damascus, and the southern Druze-majority city of Sweida, hitting near the presidential palace and destroying part of the nation's defence ministry. Israel has claimed it aimed to pressure the Ahmad al-Sharaa government in the Middle Eastern country to withdraw its troops from the region amid ongoing clashes there. President Trump "was caught off guard by the bombing in Syria and also the bombing of a Catholic church in Gaza. In both accounts, the president quickly called the prime minister to rectify those situations," White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing. "In both accounts, the president quickly called the prime minister to rectify those situations," she continued. Israeli Prime Minister enjoys a close bond with President Trump and has visited the White House earlier this month, his third trip since the Republican returned to power on January 20. "The president enjoys a good working relationship with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and stays in, you know, frequent communication with him," Leavitt said. "When it came to Syria, we saw a de-escalation there," she added. Israel and Syria on Friday entered a US-brokered ceasefire. Also on Friday, PM Netanyahu called Pope Leo to express regret at the strike on the Catholic church in Gaza, blaming a "stray missile." US-Syria Relations In May, Trump met with Syria's Islamist president Al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia shortly after lifting many longstanding US sanctions against Damascus. Trump later praised the leader, who led a major armed group that was once aligned with Al Qaeda and toppled the Syrian government in December. The United States has also removed a bounty on Sharaa's head after he came to power.

Microsoft server hack hit about 100 organisations, researchers say
A sweeping cyber espionage operation targeting Microsoft server software compromised about 100 organisations as of the weekend, two of the organisations that helped uncover the campaign said on Monday. Microsoft on Saturday issued an alert about "active attacks" on self-hosted SharePoint servers, which are widely used by organisations to share documents and collaborate within organisations. SharePoint instances run off of Microsoft servers were unaffected. Dubbed a "zero-day" because it leverages a previously undisclosed digital weakness, the hacks allow spies to penetrate vulnerable servers and potentially drop a backdoor to secure continuous access to victim organisations. Vaisha Bernard, the chief hacker at Eye Security, a Netherlands-based cybersecurity firm, which discovered the hacking campaign targeting one of its clients on Friday, said that an internet scan carried out with the Shadowserver Foundation had uncovered nearly 100 victims altogether, and that was before the technique behind the hack was widely known. "It's unambiguous," Bernard said. "Who knows what other adversaries have done since to place other backdoors." He declined to identify the affected organisations, saying that the relevant national authorities had been notified. The Shadowserver Foundation confirmed the 100 figure. It said most of those affected were in the United States and Germany, and the victims included government organisations. Another researcher said that, so far, the spying appeared to be the work of a single hacker or set of hackers. "It's possible that this will quickly change," said Rafe Pilling, director of Threat Intelligence at Sophos, a British cybersecurity firm. Microsoft said it had "provided security updates and encourages customers to install them," a company spokesperson said in an emailed statement. It was not clear who was behind the ongoing hack, but Alphabet's Google, which has visibility into wide swaths of internet traffic, said it tied at least some of the hacks to a "China-nexus threat actor." The Chinese Embassy in Washington didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment; Beijing routinely denies carrying out hacking operations. The FBI said on Sunday it was aware of the attacks and was working closely with its federal and private-sector partners, but offered no other details. Britain's National Cyber Security Center said in a statement that it was aware of "a limited number" of targets in the United Kingdom. A researcher tracking the campaign said that the campaign appeared initially aimed at a narrow set of government-related organisations. The pool of potential targets remains vast. According to data from Shodan, a search engine that helps to identify internet-linked equipment, over 8,000 servers online could theoretically have already been compromised by hackers. Shadowserver put the number at a little more than 9,000, while cautioning that the figure was a minimum. Those servers include major industrial firms, banks, auditors, healthcare companies, and several U.S. state-level and international government entities. "The SharePoint incident appears to have created a broad level of compromise across a range of servers globally," said Daniel Card of British cybersecurity consultancy PwnDefend. "Taking an assumed breach approach is wise, and it's also important to understand that just applying the patch isn't all that is required here."

Jeffrey Epstein whistleblower says she warned FBI about Donald Trump decades ago: Report
An American artist who was among the first to accuse convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sexual crimes has claimed that she had also alerted the FBI about Donald Trump nearly 30 years ago, according to a report by The New York Times. Maria Farmer, who first reported Epstein and Maxwell in 1996, told the Times that she had urged law enforcement agencies to investigate several powerful men in Epstein's circle at the time, including Trump, who went on to become the 45th President of the United States. Farmer, who worked for Epstein in the mid-1990s, said she was disturbed by a late-night encounter with Trump in 1995, when she was in her mid-20s. She claimed Trump appeared at Epstein's Manhattan office while she was alone, looked at her legs in a way that made her uncomfortable, and allegedly remarked to Epstein outside the room that he thought she was 16. Farmer says she shared these concerns with the FBI in 1996 and again in 2006. Law enforcement officials have not accused Trump of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, and he has never been the subject of a criminal investigation in this context. A spokesperson for Trump told the Times that he was never in Epstein's office and denied the claims. The Trump campaign also dismissed Farmer's allegations and accused the media of recycling old stories to tarnish the former president's image. They reiterated that Trump had distanced himself from Epstein years ago, even banning him from his Mar-a-Lago club. Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in 2022. The renewed focus on Trump's past association with Epstein comes amid ongoing demands, from Trump supporters and critics alike, to release sealed federal files related to Epstein's case. Trump has said he supports releasing grand jury testimony and other material to prove he had 'nothing to hide.' The Times interview with Farmer was published just days after The Wall Street Journal reported on a sexually suggestive birthday message Trump allegedly sent Epstein in 2003, a claim Trump has denied, calling the report defamatory and filing a $10 billion lawsuit against the media outlet and its owner Rupert Murdoch. The Epstein files are believed to contain extensive, yet unreleased, information about associates, testimonies, and possible tips that were never used in prosecution. Farmer's account, if backed by documentation, could be politically sensitive for Trump.
