#Cybercrime #Cybersecurity #France - Cybercriminals perfect 'social engineering': 'Each hack feeds the chances of the next one succeeding: FRANCE 24 English

21 August 2026

Peter O'Brien is pleased to welcome Simon McGarr, Lawyer with McGarr Solicitors in Dublin, and Managing Director of Data Compliance Europe. Cybersecurity is no longer simply a question of whether governments possess adequate technical defences, explains McGarr. AI is altering those risks at extraordinary speed, placing capabilities once associated with states or sophisticated criminal organizations within reach of much smaller actors. If threats evolve month by month, governments must focus on prevention: identifying vulnerabilities, adapting defenses and developing long-term institutional capacity before emerging threats become crises.

#Trump #USA #debt - US national debt tops $40 trillion for first time, dealing blow to Trump: FRANCE 24 English

20 August 2026

The US gross national debt has surged past $40 trillion for the first time, government data showed Wednesday, outstripping earlier forecasts at a pace fuelled in part by President Donald Trump's invalidated tariffs.

The uptick in borrowing is a blow to Trump, who promised to cut public spending during his 2024 presidential campaign, and sparked a backlash from US representatives across the political field.

#uk #homes #realestate - "Empty Homes"— Homes Cost £19,000 But NOBODY Wants Them: Wonderful Britain and Deserted UK

3 August 2026

£19,000 buys a full three-bedroom house in Britain right now — not a shed, not a caravan, an actual home with a front door and a postcode. England alone sits on over 750,000 empty properties, and 300,000 of them have stood vacant for six months or more, the worst figure since 2011. We ranked ten real towns from cheapest to most surprising, each with one honest number and one honest catch. In this video, we explore: → Why a three-bed terrace in Boston, Lincolnshire costs a third of the county average — and has for years

→ A Victorian promenade town in North Wales where homes near the beach sell under £120,000, sea air included

→ Four of Britain's five cheapest towns clustered on one stretch of Ayrshire coast, all in the same rock-bottom band

→ Scotland's most affordable town, where Burns wrote "Sweet Afton" and prices never recovered from pit closures

→ Burnley — officially the cheapest local authority in England at £129K, with Pennine-edge winters to match

→ A house on Cameron Road, Hartlepool that sold for £25,000 in September 2026, and auction guide prices as low as £15,000

→ Rhondda Valley, where 5,654 men once worked a single pit complex — now Wales's most affordable place to buy a home

→ Britain's cheapest postcode, PA15 in Greenock, averaging £56,823 on the Clyde where empire ships were built

→ Campbeltown, once "Whiskyopolis" with 37 distilleries, now Britain's cheapest coastal town at £103K → And at number one: the town officially rated most affordable in all of Britain — with a £325 monthly mortgage and 175,000 heritage visitors a year
