You don’t have to live in a bad area to get hit. Most theft isn’t random—it’s opportunity. A guy walks or drives by, sees something easy, and makes a note. This time of year, when people are outside more and yards are full of gear, those opportunities stack up fast. If you’ve got tools, toys,…

Nuclear facilities sit at the intersection of geopolitics, climate stress and digital conflict, and the margin for error is shrinking.

Russia is escalating its warnings after renewed strikes around Iran’s Bushehr nuclear site, arguing that the attacks edge the region closer to a potential nuclear disaster.
