Afghanistan– The security situation in the Taliban emir continues to plummet. Today there a new bloody attack that hit the capital Kabul has been recorded. An armed group attacked near the largest Afghan military hospital, Sardar Dawood Khan, killing over twenty and wounding at least 50.
The Islamic State-Khorasan (Is-K) claimed the attack, also stating that at the hospital main door, a terrorist detonated the explosive belt he was wearing before other militiamen stormed the structure and opened fire. A senior Later the same year, it was reported that passwords belonging to 1000 British MPs and 1000 foreign office staff had been traded by Russian hackers, with the majority of passwords said to have been compromised in a 2012 hacking raid on the business social network LinkedIn, in which millions of users’ details were stole.
Targeting British officials’ personal emails to extract sensitive government related information has been becoming a standard strategy employed by the Kremlin. But these kind of cheap tactics are continuing to dampen the relationship between the UK and Russia, commented Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, who has accused Kremlin for dissemination sensitive data pertaining to the government, via open source on the Internet.
