Facebook failed to fend off a lawsuit over a data breach that affected nearly 30 million users, one of several privacy snafus that have put the company under siege.
The company’s disclosure in September that hackers exploited several software bugs to obtain login access to accounts was tagged as Facebook’s worst security breach ever. An initial estimate that as many as 50 million accounts were affected was scaled back weeks later.

President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and eight senior military commanders, a provocative step designed to increase pressure on the Islamic Republic.
Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday that the penalties would deny Khamenei and his office access to financial resources.
“The supreme leader of Iran is the one who ultimately is responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime,” Trump said.
Trump last week abruptly canceled planned air strikes against Iran for shooting down a U.S. Navy drone on Thursday. The administration also blames Iran for recent attacks on two oil tankers near the Persian Gulf, though Iran denies it.

Bitcoin traded above $11,000 for the first time in 15 months, recouping more than half of the parabolic increase that captured the attention of mainstream investors before the cryptocurrency bubble burst last year.
“The bounce-back of bitcoin has been fairly extraordinary,” said George McDonaugh, chief executive and co-founder of London-based blockchain and cryptocurrency investment firm KR1. “Money didn’t leave the asset behind, it just sat on the sidelines waiting to get back in.”
Bitcoin surged as high as $11,251.21 on Monday, a 13% gain from late Friday that put it at the highest levels since March 2018. It was at $10,919 as of 11:01 a.m. in New York.

Kachol Lavan number 2 man Yair Lapid is accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being “not stable.”
Lapid was responding to a television report on Sunday night that claimed the Likud party and Kachol Lavan party were seeking to shore up support for a Knesset vote to cancel the September elections, paving the way for a unity government. Both parties denied the report.
“So Netanyahu first took us to early elections. And then he wanted another election. Now he’s scared of elections. Tomorrow, he’ll want elections again,” says Lapid at a weekly faction meeting. “He’s not stable. We can’t afford a prime minister who isn’t stable. This country needs stability.”

Israeli security leaders are reportedly concerned over the inclusion in the recently unveiled American peace proposal of some form of travel corridor between the West Bank and Gaza.
According to Israeli news website Walla, discussions have been underway at the highest levels of Israel’s security establishment regarding the Trump administration’s peace plan and aspects that may compromise the Jewish state’s security.
Citing officials who were privy to details of the discussions, Walla said that the main concern is that such a corridor — whether a highway or a rail line — may help facilitate a Hamas takeover of the West Bank.
