Major Pentagon breach exposes sensitive data on nearly 3 million people
A breach of the Pentagons sprawling personnel database exposed sensitive information belonging to a massive swath of military personnel, including Social Security numbers and details about the jobs they held, according to a U.S. defense official. The breach affected 2.76 million living people and another 294,000 who are deceased, the official said. The scope and sensitivity of the exposed information could raise national security concerns, particularly because the files included details about the jobs performed by military and civilian personnel. A Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) information system experienced unauthorized access of personally identifiable information by a small number of unauthorized users between October 2025 and July 2026. Upon discovery, DMDC immediately remediated the vulnerability, the official said. Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP - PHOTO: The Pentagon is seen from Air Force One, Sept. 26, 2026, in Washington, D.C. The Defense Manpower Data Center serves as one of the Pentagons main repositories for personnel records, holding information on active-duty and reserve troops, civilian employees, contractors, retirees, veterans and military family members. FBI investigating possible cyber breach of its job application website: Sources The agency maintains more than 60 million personnel records. Military Times first reported the breach last week. The unauthorized access stretched from October 2025 until July, when DMDC discovered the vulnerability and patched the affected system, according to the defense official, adding theres no evidence yet that any of the exposed data has been misused. Defense officials said they have found no evidence so far that the exposed information has been misused and are offering identity protection and credit monitoring resources. The news of the Pentagon breach comes as the FBI sent a notice to employees on Friday outlining their response to a breach of its jobs portal FBIJobs.gov . An threat actor said it would publish data includingFBI employees'names, home address, personal and work contact information, Social Security numbers, date of birth and emergency contact information, sources told ABC News, and the bureau is operating as if every FBI employees personal information was compromised. But in a statement to the New York Times and 404 Media on Monday, the hacking group shinyhunters claimed it won't release the data as it previously said it would. Since the very beginning of this event we have unequivocally and assiduously emphasised this is NOT extortion, this is NOT ransom, this is NOT financially motivated, the statement said. This was all a marketing campaign to protect our business and actively combat disinformation. If we made this statement normally then this much attention to our words and intentions wouldve never been this widespread. ABC News has not independently verified the group's claims. Employees who were impacted have also begun to be notified, and the FBI said that the impacted system --FBIJobs.gov -- was unclassified. The FBI also issued a warning for those who might be impacted, advising them to maintain situational awareness and to not answer suspicious calls. There will also be internal briefings for employees who have been impacted. It also says, according to the warning described to ABC News, that employees should not talk to the media and if the media is trespassing, employees should call911.

Chef and entertainer Ranveer Brars new YouTube show, Yess Chef!, has crossed 700,000 views within 24 hours of the first episode being released. The show combines food trivia, quick-fire questions, competition and celebrity banter, bringing food knowledge into an entertainment format. The concept of Yess Chef! revolves around testing how much celebrities know about food, from ingredients and dishes to their stories, history and lesser-known facts. The show aims to make food knowledge more engaging while giving participants a chance to compete and showcase what they know. Explaining the idea behind the show, Ranveer Brar says, We brag about our cricket knowledge. We flex our Bollywood knowledge. So why not food? Theres so much about our food, its stories, ingredients, history and quirks, that we should know and be proud of knowing. With Yess Chef!, the idea is to make food knowledge cool, to give it that same bragging value. I want people to be able to flex their food knowledge. The first episode featured Zakir Khan and Zeeshan Khan competing against Aparshakti Khurana and Angad Bedi. The episode, described through the phrase 4 bhai, chaaron tabahi, brought together food-related questions, friendly competition, revelations and confident answers from the participants. The upcoming episodes will feature several familiar names from the entertainment industry, including Farah Khan, Tejasswi Prakash, Karan Kundrra, Munawar Faruqui, Bharti Singh, Jamie Lever, Kiku Sharda, Gaurav Gera, Viraj Ghelani, Archana Puran Singh, Parmeet Sethi, Mr Faisu, Abhishek Malhan and Rannvijay Singha, among others. The show is owned and produced by 1947 Productions and Ranveer Brar. Yess Chef! brings together food, pop culture and comedy, with celebrities participating in food-based challenges rather than simply appearing as guests. New episodes of Yess Chef! are released every Sunday on Ranveer Brars YouTube channel. The shows tagline sums up its premise: Ab taste nahi. Test hoga.

Need to equip young people with AI skills: Dr Mansukh Mandaviya
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS) Labour Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday emphasised the need to evolve Indias labour and social security ecosystem in tandem with changing times and emerging economic realities, especially vast opportunities that Artificial Intelligence (AI) opens up in todays world. He stressed on the need to equip Indias youth with new-age skills in AI, automation, robotics and other cutting-edge technologies. The Minister drew attention to Prime Minister Narendra Modis Independence Day address from the ramparts of the Red Fort in 2026, wherein the Prime Minister had announced that one crore youth would be trained in AI skills over the next one year. Inaugurating the National Conference on Industrial Relations and Labour and Awards 2026 here, organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Employers Federation of India (EFI), Dr Mandaviya underlined the expansion of Indias social security coverage over the past decade, rising from 19 per cent of the population in 2015 to cover 101 crore people, or 68 per cent of the population as on date, as recognised by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Calling for a change in the conventional mindset of pro-industry policies being perceived as anti-labour, and vice-versa, the minister urged both industry and workers to progress together as partners in nation-building. The Labour Ministry also launched a mega awareness campaign on the Labour Codes titled Shram Samvad, under which industrial clusters across 316 districts in all 36 States and Union Territories will be covered over the next 90 days.

Highlighting Indias high GDP growth of 7.8 per cent, Dr Mandaviya elaborated on the governments comprehensive economic policies that have enabled the country to sustain a robust growth trajectory. He noted that Indias strong economic growth in recent years has been accompanied by rising employment opportunities, with every 1 per cent growth in the economy translating into 1.11 per cent employment growth during 201723, compared to just 0.008 per cent earlier.

Digital Desk | Ujjain, Sep 28 (IANS) People from different castes and religious communities are voluntarily coming forward to remove portions of their houses, religious structures and other buildings falling within the proposed road-widening alignment for Simhastha 2028, Ujjain Collector Raushan Singh said on Monday. Singh said the city was undertaking infrastructure work under the master plan to prepare for the large number of devotees expected during the religious congregation, and cooperation from different sections of society was helping in carrying out the work. The Simhastha gathering is scheduled for 2028, and a large number of devotees are expected to attend. Infrastructure work is currently underway to prepare for the event, including road widening projects outlined in the master plan, Singh said in a video statement. He said people from all communities were voluntarily cooperating with the administration by removing structures that fall within the alignment, and members of the Muslim community were also removing a portion of the Shahi Masjid at Chhatri Chowk. A particularly positive aspect of this process is the contribution being made by people from all religions and communities; they are voluntarily coming forward to help demolish their own houses, religious structures and other buildings that fall within the project's path, Singh said. His statement came after a disturbance was reported at Chhatri Chowk on Monday morning during the removal of the portion of the Shahi Masjid identified for the road-widening project. According to police, some people allegedly pelted stones at personnel deployed at the site, following which tear gas and mild force were used to disperse the crowd. Ujjain Superintendent of Police Pradeep Sharma said the mosque committee itself was carrying out the demolition of the section falling within the widening zone and that the situation was subsequently brought under control. Various communities and organisations have been consistently cooperating with the road-widening project. Today, the mosque committee itself is voluntarily demolishing the section of the Shahi Masjid at Chhatri Chowk that falls within the widening zone, Sharma told IANS. He said police had established a security perimeter around the site and restricted entry as a precautionary measure. Some police personnel sustained minor injuries in the stone-pelting, he said. We had anticipated this and conducted thorough briefings and multiple meetings to discuss every aspect. It is precisely because of this planning that we cleared the entire Chhatri Chowk area, Sharma said. A female Crime Branch inspector, Pushpa Panchal, was reportedly injured while dealing with women protesters carrying iron and steel sheets. Sharma said the area was being monitored through CCTV cameras and drones, while police were also keeping a close watch on social media. He said some people who allegedly came from outside the district to create trouble had been detained and taken to different police stations. Police would identify those involved in the stone-pelting through CCTV and drone footage and register FIRs against them, the SP said. He added that some women had attempted to block the road but withdrew the blockade after being counselled. The road has since been reopened. The district administration appealed to people not to pay heed to rumours and to maintain peace and order as road-widening work continues in preparation for Simhastha 2028.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge condemned BJP's behavior following a minister's violent incident during a road inspection. Parvesh Sahib Singh slapped a man who was recording the event, causing public outrage. Kharge highlighted the oppressive actions of the ruling party against citizens and the opposition. He referred to past incidents involving violence against farmers and minorities under BJP's governance.

Digital Desk | An anonymous group calling itself the Freedom Activist Group claims it has identified two people linked to the CoinDCX hack, including one named Diana, and says it knows where the stolen funds are. No arrests have been announced in the core hacking case, and the claims remain unverified. A mysterious anonymous collective calling itself the Freedom Activist Group has inserted itself into the investigation of the CoinDCX crypto exchange hack, claiming it has identified two people connected to the incident and that it knows where the stolen funds are hidden. In messages circulated on encrypted channels, the group said one of the individuals is known as Diana, but it did not provide a surname, nationality, photograph, or any documentary evidence. The group says it will soon release a larger trove of material, including wallet trails, chat logs, screenshots, and transaction hashes, and warned that many more things will be revealed. The claims have not been verified by us, police, or CoinDCX. CoinDCX previously confirmed that attackers compromised an internal operational account and stole approximately $44 million, while saying customer funds were not affected and that the loss would be covered by the company. No arrests have been announced in the core hacking case. Security researchers warn that publishing unverified names can harm innocent people and may also tip off real suspects, giving them time to move funds or destroy records. The groups identity and motives remain unknown; it could be hacktivists, a rival hacking crew, or online researchers. Until evidence is produced, the groups statements should be treated as allegations. we are continuing to investigate and will update this article if verified information becomes available.
MMDR Amendment Act: BJD appeals to people to join mass protest tomorrow
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 27 (IANS) The Opposition Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Sunday appealed to the people of Odisha to join a mass protest to be organised by the party in front of the Legislative Assembly on Monday, demanding the repeal of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2026. The regional party has been opposing the Amendment Act since its passage in Parliament, alleging that it is against the interests of the state. In a press statement issued by BJD, party spokesperson and media coordinator Lenin Mohanty said that the MMDR Amendment Act has taken away the rights of the states over mines and mineral-bearing land. He said that in its order dated July 25, 2024, the Supreme Court had stated that states could levy taxes and levies on mines and mineral-bearing land and recover the dues retrospectively from 2005. The senior BJD leader also added that according to the Supreme Court's order, Odisha had an opportunity to receive Rs 1 lakh crore towards arrears and Rs 12,000 crore in increased revenue. He alleged that the MMDR Act has destroyed this opportunity. Therefore, demanding the withdrawal of this anti-state black law, the BJD will organise a massive protest at Lower PMG on September 28. It will begin at 10 a.m. BJD President and former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will attend the programme and address the people present, Mohanty added. Seeking the cooperation of people of Odisha, Mohanty has appealed them to participate in large numbers in the programme and make it a success to protect the interests of Odisha. The BJD had earlier announced to organise a statewide agitation and economic blockade across the state demanding the immediate repeal of the Act. The congress-led INDIA bloc is also scheduled to stage a Odisha Assembly gherao protest in Bhubaneswar on September 29 against the MMDR Amendment Act. The opposition Congress and BJD have also been protesting against the MMDR Amendment Act in the Assembly, leading to repeated adjournments of the House since the beginning of the Monsoon session. The MMDR Amendment Act has turned into a major headache for the state government, as the Opposition seems to be in no mood to back down.

Pope Leo praises young people as 700,000 gather for open-air Mass in Paris
Pope Leo XIV has praised the enthusiasm, energy and commitment young people bring to the Catholic Church as dense crowds attended an open-air Mass in Paris. An estimated 700,000 people had gathered for the Mass celebrated by the Pope from a special altar on the Place de la Concorde, on the second day of his four-day visit to France. It began after the pontiff rode down the Champs-lyses Avenue waving to crowds from his open-topped popemobile. Many senior politicians attended the Mass. On Friday, the Pope met French President Emmanuel Macron. During Saturday's Mass, the Pope told worshippers that Catholics should not keep their faith to themselves but let it overflow so that those you meet may be refreshed. The leader of the Catholic Church also addressed young people in his speech, describing them as today's Church. How beautiful it is to see your enthusiasm, energy and commitment, and the joy you bring to Christian communities, he said. [Reuters] After being welcomed by Macron on Friday, the Pope was joined by 80,000 young people at the Stade de France in northern Paris. Macron did not attend Saturday's event and will not be at any of the Pope's Masses during his visit, largely to avoid appearing to breach France's strict rules on the separation of Church and state. But the Mass was attended by Macron's wife Brigitte and French Prime Minister Sbastien Lecornu. Several candidates for next year's presidential election also attended. Marine Le Pen of the hard-right National Rally party and conservative Bruno Retailleau were both pictured at the Place de la Concorde ahead of the event, while centrists douard Philippe and Gabriel Attal were also spotted. Brigitte Macron, France's Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and Senate's President Gerard Larcher were seen attending the Mass [Getty Images] Earlier on Saturday, the Pope met migrants and volunteers as he visited the Maison Bakhita centre, an association supporting refugees, and praised the organisation for inviting us to see those who are invisible. He also stressed the fundamental role of women in building a civilisation of love. The Pope issued a warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) at the start of his visit to France on Friday. Leo cautioned against losing our humanity amid a paradise of machines in wide-ranging remarks to Church and state officials at the lyse Palace. Large crowds are expected throughout the remainder of the pontiff's trip, which the Church believes reflects a growing spirituality among the French and other Europeans. About 150,000 have signed up to attend Mass in the Pyrenean sanctuary of Lourdes on Sunday.

People will take to streets if Gyanesh Kumar doesn't resign: Oppn
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday warned that people will take to the streets in protest if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar doesn't resign or the impeachment motion against him is allowed to pass in Parliament. Citing the earlier defeat of the impeachment motion against the CEC this year, RJD MP Manoj also said citizens will decide the next course of action. Speaking to IANS, Prithviraj Chavan said: Just as a Supreme Court judge can be removed, the Chief Election Commissioner can also be removed. This is a constitutional provision. So, I believe the Opposition leaders should immediately file an impeachment resolution. Still, if nothing material and all efforts (to remove Gyanesh Kumar) are blocked...if the President does not take any decision on this and the Supreme Court also does not take suo motu cognisance. Obviously,, the Opposition leaders will have to bring the entire public out onto the streets. I hope such a situation does not arise, he added. Further, Chavan said: Prime Minister Narendra Modi can find a solution (to the controversy), but if he remains adamant against (Gyanesh Kumar's) resignation, then people will have to come out on the streets. Congress MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh recalled that in April, 73 opposition members of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha submitted a formal notice to the Secretary-General seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on grounds of proven misbehaviour. He alleged: The government is trying to protect him (CEC) because he is working for them. BJP leaders want to protect him, but this is no longer restricted to that. Maintaining that the impeachment motion had been attempted before by the Opposition, RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha said: We had submitted that option earlier as well. Apart from that, a petition has also been filed in the Supreme Court. It is within the Supreme Courts powers to take suo motu cognisance, because all the evidence is before it as well. Another thing, which I consider most important, is that this is no longer a matter between the Opposition parties and the ruling party. This is now a matter concerning citizens. So, citizens will also decide their strategy, he told IANS.
