A 20-year-old Florida man at the center of a prolific cybercrime group known as “Scattered Spider” was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison today, and ordered to pay roughly $13 million in restitution to victims.
Noah Michael Urban of Palm Coast, Fla. pleaded guilty in April 2025 to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy. Florida prosecutors alleged Urban conspired with others to steal at least $800,000 from five victims via SIM-swapping attacks that diverted their mobile phone calls and text messages to devices controlled by Urban and his co-conspirators.
Reached via Twitter/X, Urban responded from Fla. county jail that the 10 yr sentence was more than prosecutors asked for because the judge was mad that Scattered Spider hacked his court.
A court transcript (PDF) from a status hearing in February 2025 shows Urban was telling the truth about the hacking incident that happened while he was in federal custody. It involved an intrusion into a magistrate judge’s email account, where a copy of Urban’s sealed indictment was stolen. The judge told attorneys for both sides that a co-defendant in the California case was trying to find out about Mr. Urban’s activity in the Florida case.
“What it ultimately turned into a was a big faux pas,” Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger said. “The Court’s password…business is handled by an outside contractor. And somebody called the outside contractor representing Judge Toomey saying, ‘I need a password change.’ And they gave out the password change. That’s how whoever was making the phone call got into the court.”

Visual Changes:
- It's Ubuntu 20th birthday
- Ubuntu anniversary: you get a "20th anniversary" text at boot and on the login screen,
- You get the Ubuntu 4.10 startup sound, you can disable it in the settings
- You get a new "warty" brown accent colour, which I absolutely love because I'm nostalgic of that era of Ubuntu, but other people might find it ugly to the extreme
- You get revamped Ubuntu LTS wallpapers, and 4.10 wallpaper as well, so you can relive these wonderful moments
- I wish they had added the themes from various LTS as well, the 6.06 theme, 8.04 one, and maybe the 10.04 one
Ubuntu specific changes
- Dock: progress bars when a snap is updating in the background, better than having the icon disappear then reappear
- Context menu is improved a bit, with a little header label and an other option: App Details, to open the app's listing in the App Center. Only works for snap apps
- App Center has a new Art and design category, the "featured" snaps section is moved up, in progress downloads are now visible in the "manage" label of the sidebar
- You can also uninstall snaps from that "manage" part of the app, and if you're trying to update an app that's open, you'll see a banner telling you to close that ap to perform the update
- Touchscreen support is improved, but couldn't test that myself
- Security Center: this is a new thing that lets you manage permissions for snap applications. Right now, you can enable an experimental permission that will trigger the new Ubuntu prompting client
- This is your "allow app to do X or Y" kind of thing, where you can set permissions once, always, for any type of file, and the like, and you can then tweak these permissions in the securiyty center
- Think of it as the flatseal / flatpak permissions, but for snaps
- In the future, this thing will also get firewall controls, Ubuntu pro subscription settings, and more
GNOME 47:
- Accent colors plugged into a settings portal, so should work with more apps
- This means the colors that are offered are a bit different than previously
- Dialogs are revamped with split buttons, looks like macOS
- Hardware encoded screen recordings
- Nautilus new sidebar, network emplacements, internal drives in the sidebar now: no more other locations
- Nautilus: used as file picker
- Settings: Activate windws on hover in accessibility, input source previews with keyboard layouts, online accounts are better with MS 365 suporting email calendar and contacts, webdav auto discovers services, and IMPA SMTP also does autocomplete now
Under the hood
- Wayland for everyone, even Nvidia, but X11 is still preinstalled
- Better fingerprint support with a newer version of fprintd and libfprint, but can't test that
- System profiling tools preinstalled, like sysprof, useful for developers to see why their app is underperoforming, or to optimize things
- APT command line tool also was updated to version 3.0, and the terminal UI is much more legible, with colors, padding, line breaks and spacing, so t's way more readable
- Kernel 6.11 with more hardware support and faster ext4 filesystem, Mesa 24.2.3 and Nvidia 550 or 560

Ahmad Saadat, Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, is reportedly suffering under extremely harsh detention conditions in Megiddo Prison. His daughter, Samoud Saadat, stated that her father has been placed in prolonged isolation under inhumane conditions that have worsened since the beginning of the Zionist war on Gaza. During her last visit two weeks ago, she noted a severe drop in his weight due to inadequate food and total isolation inside a small cell.
According to Samoud, Ahmad Saadat remains isolated 24 hours a day and is subjected to repeated assaults by special units, extensive searches, threats, and ongoing verbal and physical abuse by jailers. She also highlighted deliberate restrictions placed on lawyer visits, describing the situation as part of a systematic campaign targeting her father and his symbolic status.
Reports from the Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs describe systematic violations inside Megiddo Prison. These include starvation policies, the spread of skin diseases such as scabies, physical assaults, denial of medical treatment, and restrictions on family visits.
Child detainees in the facility are subjected to degrading and abusive treatment, according to the Commission. During visits, they are brought in with hands and feet shackled, eyes blindfolded, and heads covered with black bags. Even while speaking with their families through the phone, their hands remain tied, preventing them from holding the receiver properly. Legal teams have repeatedly demanded that the shackles be removed during visits, but prison authorities have refused.
On August 3, 2025, 20-year-old administrative detainee Ahmad Sa’id Salih Tazzaz’a from Jenin was declared martyred inside Megiddo Prison. He had been detained since May 6, 2025.
With Tazzaz’a’s death, the number of Palestinian prisoners martyred since the beginning of the ongoing genocide stands at 76, according to documented reports. These figures highlight a brutal escalation in prisoner deaths, with a total of 313 prisoners martyred since 1967. The spread of infectious diseases like scabies has become a method of slow execution, especially in Megiddo Prison.
This follows Zionist Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s public confrontation of prominent Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti in his cell a few days ago. In a video released on August 15, 2025, Ben-Gvir was seen threatening Barghouti directly, stating: “Anyone who harms the people of Israel… we will eliminate them.” Barghouti appeared visibly weakened, pale, and emaciated. His family was shocked by his condition, with his wife describing him as “so thin” and almost unrecognizable.
Days later, on August 20, Ben-Gvir ordered the installation of large black-and-white images depicting the destruction of Gaza across prison walls. During a visit to one of the facilities, he pointed at the images and declared: “This is what they should see every morning on their way to the prison yard… This is how it’s supposed to look.”

I get it, you're supposed to do things that bring you joy because you deserve it but...
I like sharing stuff with people. I want to share the little moments of shock, wonder, or joy about whatever shenanigans I'm getting up to with people around me. When I gotta do those things only by myself, I have a very hard time.
Like, it's SO hard to get the motivation to do stuff when maybe just one other person or a friend I see all the time might see it. And I'm not sure how to get around that mentally, since doing tons of work to get whatever projects I'm working on dug into by tons of people is EXTREMELY unfun. And feels crummy when it usually doesn't result in much more socializing or sharing anyways.
After attending a meeting with our dead (part one) and severely criticizing the functioning and structure of the autonomous governments (part two), the Zapatista communities begin to analyze the positive contributions of those early efforts. While they point out the progress made in collective work, education, health, and as women, among other advantages, the assembly receives an unexpected visitor: the future.
Thus begins a terrible and wonderful exchange between today and tomorrow.
A multitude of eggs and sperm, referred to as “agüitas (little waters)” in the play (don’t ask me why they were given that name), appear at the assembly and ask a series of questions. Not only about love and such things, although that too. Then the assembly explains what it’s all about.
They give as an example the making of tamales. They describe the preparation of the soil, the sowing, the harvesting, the grinding and cooking of the corn, and everything related to the preparation of the dough and the filling of the tamales. They explain that this takes time, that the tamale does not suddenly appear on the table, but that it takes time, effort, and work. They tell them that they are going to put the tamale on a mountain, and that it has taken and will take entire generations to get it there. That each generation is replaced by the next. In other words, they detail the parts of the whole. And that it will be up to those “aguitas” to discover and understand the task that falls to them. They recommend that they care for, love, and protect Mother Earth because she is life. Work with her and upon her, in common and without private property.
A Durito and a Durita remain as witnesses who will see that the waters fulfill their part in the struggle. In other words, nature remains as a witness.
What is the tamale made of? Well, as I understand it, that will be known in more than 100 years. So it’s “chili, sweets, and lard.”
Gossip: when the young people in the play acted out a couple’s argument, SubMoy told a coordinator that he didn’t remember that part from rehearsals. The coordinator replied that it wasn’t there, the actors improvised it on the spot… and it turned out very well.

The Captain
August 2025
Thanks to Life!
The protagonists were the support bases of the twelve caracoles, EZLN militiamen and women, who built the spaces in the Morelia seedbed that housed the delegations from Mexico and around the world, took care of the attendees, and staged plays that allowed us to understand more deeply the paths they will continue to follow in the coming years.
An extremely hopeful feature, although not new, was the overwhelming presence of young people, particularly among the militiamen and women and among those who performed in the plays. The plays deserve a separate comment. Not only did they create the scripts, sets, and costumes, some of which were truly remarkable, but they also had to be coordinated from the most diverse areas, which we believe involved months of extensive, intense work.
There was an opening ceremony held by militiamen in support of the Palestinian people, but there was no closing ceremony. Only a simple thank you from Sub Moisés to the attendees and the support bases. Without further ado, he closed the meeting to make way for poetry, music, and dancing, in which thousands of support bases and attendees from the most diverse geographies participated, as they did every night.
The sharing of experiences by delegates from movements and organizations from 45 countries took up most of the time, attended by the support bases while the militiamen followed from a distance. It was many hours of listening, that serene and attentive listening that the Zapatistas teach us with generous humility.
Moisés played a decisive role, even more noticeable because Captain Marcos did not speak. He participated in many discussions, contributing a refreshing and always unpredictable perspective, with simple examples from everyday life, infinite patience to make himself understood, and this time carrying a pipe that, who knows, seemed like a tribute to the captain, given his mannerisms, the way he smoked, and even the way he blew smoke into the air.
A large international and Mexican delegation visited the Dolores Hidalgo caracol, where the operating room donated by European solidarity is being built, along with a large hospital that is being built jointly by Zapatistas and non-Zapatistas. It will be a necessary project for the peoples of the region and a source of pride for the movement.
The last two days were spent answering questions from those attending the command post, one person from each caracol, half men and half women. In a single day, they spent more than four consecutive hours answering a wide variety of questions, some very interesting, others less so, but they always responded with good vibes and Zapatista humor.
The dining hall, El Común, was truly wonderful. There, Marijose and chef Ramón cooked delicious breakfasts, tacos, tortas, and other meals in a huge space where 80 Zapatistas worked in the kitchen or as waiters, 20 hours a day, maintaining good spirits and that spirit of dedication which, in itself, is much more than a revolutionary program.
Those of us who had the privilege of attending quickly forgot about the rain and mud to enjoy the space, the sharing, the informal conversations among attendees and, above all, with the Zapatista bases. They were wonderful days that we will cherish forever in our hearts.
