HOUSTON, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Houston's iconic Shipley Do-Nuts is lacing up for a sweet cause as it opens registration for the Donut Dash, to be held on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, at Sam Houston Race Park.
The family-friendly event will feature 10K and 5K races plus a kids dash, with proceeds benefiting Kids' Meals, a local nonprofit fighting childhood hunger in the Houston area.
The race kicks off at 7 a.m. with the 10K start, followed by the 5K at 8 a.m. An award ceremony will be held at 9 a.m., and the kids dash caps off the event at 9:45 a.m. All in-person participants will receive a donut-inspired race shirt, a finisher medal and complimentary Shipley Do-Nuts goodies at stops along the route and at the finish, while supplies last.

Microsoft server hack impacts 100 organizations globally
WASHINGTON/LONDON: A large-scale cyber espionage campaign targeting Microsoft SharePoint servers has compromised around 100 organizations, according to cybersecurity researchers. The attack exploits a previously unknown vulnerability, allowing hackers to infiltrate systems and potentially install backdoors for persistent access. Microsoft issued an alert on Saturday warning of 'active attacks' on self-hosted SharePoint servers, though cloud-based instances remain unaffected. The flaw, classified as a 'zero-day' due to its prior obscurity, enables unauthorized access to sensitive data. Netherlands-based Eye Security and the Shadowserver Foundation identified nearly 100 victims before the hacking method became widely known. 'It's unambiguous,' said Vaisha Bernard, chief hacker at Eye Security. 'Who knows what other adversaries have done since to place other backdoors.' Most affected organizations are in the US and Germany, with government agencies among the victims. Shadowserver estimates over 9,000 servers could be vulnerable, including industrial firms, banks, and healthcare providers. Google linked some attacks to a 'China-nexus threat actor,' though Beijing denies involvement. The FBI and UK's National Cyber Security Center are investigating, urging affected entities to apply security patches immediately. Daniel Card of PwnDefend warned, 'Just applying the patch isn't all that is required here,' emphasizing the need for thorough security reviews. - Reuters

New Trump HR chief denies Elon Musk ties amid administration rift
WASHINGTON: The new chief of the agency spearheading efforts to slash the federal workforce said on Monday he had no personal ties to tech billionaire and former Trump advisor Elon Musk, pledging to faithfully execute President Donald Trump's agenda. 'I have zero personal relationship with Elon Musk. I have talked to Elon Musk once on the phone in my life,' Scott Kupor, who was sworn in to lead the Office of Personnel Management earlier this month, told reporters. The comments underscored lingering questions about the loyalties of Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs among Trump administration officials following a public spat between Trump and Musk that led to a deep rift between the two former allies. Kupor said he had told Trump and other people in the White House that 'my job is to do the agenda that the president lays out to the best I can.' 'But I'm not going to do it consistent with someone else's objectives that are inconsistent with what the president wants to do,' he added. Musk, who spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help Trump win November's presidential election, led the Department of Government Efficiency's efforts to slash the budget and cut the federal workforce until his departure in late May to refocus on his tech empire, including electric vehicle maker Tesla . While Trump hailed Musk's tenure upon his departure, the president quickly pulled the nomination of Musk ally and tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman to lead NASA. Reuters previously reported that Musk was disappointed by Isaacman's removal. The president also threatened to cancel billions of dollars worth of contracts between the federal government and Musk's companies after Musk denounced Trump's tax-cut and spending bill as a 'disgusting abomination.' Prior to taking the helm at OPM, Kupor was a partner at Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which invests in Musk's AI startup Xai as well as SpaceX. - Reuters
