 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his.

France faces cyberattack disrupting postal service and banks amid Christmas rush


 A suspected cyberattack hit France’s national postal service and its banking division on Monday, causing widespread disruption to mail deliveries and online banking just as the country enters the peak Christmas season.

La Poste, the postal service, said a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack made its online systems inaccessible. While customer data was reportedly unaffected, the attack delayed package and mail deliveries, leaving holiday shoppers frustrated. At a Paris post office, employees had to turn away customers trying to send or collect parcels.

La Banque Postale, the bank affiliated with La Poste, also faced outages, blocking customers from approving payments or conducting other banking tasks online. The bank redirected approvals via text messages and said its teams were working to resolve the problem swiftly. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The incident follows a week in which France’s government was targeted by a cyberattack affecting the Interior Ministry, which oversees national security. Authorities said a hacker accessed police records and other sensitive data, leading to the detention of a 22-year-old suspect.

Separately, French prosecutors are investigating a cyberattack plot involving software that could have allowed remote control of an international passenger ferry’s systems. A Latvian crew member is in custody on suspicion of acting on behalf of an unidentified foreign power.

French officials and European allies of Ukraine have increasingly accused Russia of waging “hybrid warfare” against them, using cyberattacks, sabotage, disinformation, and other covert operations that are difficult to trace directly.
