⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - California woman slams her G-Wagon into a burglar's car after they tried breaking into her home, where her children and mother were. The mom had just left to get coffee and was on the phone with her mother when she heard "Help! Help! Help!" The wife immediately turned around and sped home. "They jumped the front gate, they came to the back to probably break the sliding door to go in, and they faced my mother-in-law, and they ran away," the woman's husband, David, said. The wife was seen on camera, speeding down the street before slamming her Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon into the suspect's white sedan. David claims the crash was not intentional but says his wife was concerned that the thugs would harm her family. LAPD reportedly discovered a driver's license inside the white sedan.

⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - Massive Cyberattack on French Infrastructure Just three days before Christmas, a cyberattack knocked France’s national postal service La Poste offline, disrupting package deliveries and online payments at the peak of the holiday rush. La Poste said a DDoS attack rendered its online services inaccessible. The attack also hit La Banque Postale. Customers were unable to approve payments or access key banking services via the app, forcing the bank to reroute payment approvals to SMS. The disruption comes just one week after France’s Interior Ministry suffered a separate cyberattack that exposed sensitive police and wanted-persons data. French officials say the incidents fit a broader pattern of “hybrid warfare” targeting France and other European allies of Ukraine, involving cyberattacks, sabotage, disinformation, and covert operations that are difficult to directly attribute.
