16 billion passwords discovered in massive data breach
SUMMARY: A massive data breach has exposed 16 billion passwords from social media and other sites, making it the largest known single database of stolen credentials. Cybersecurity experts warn that most people likely have compromised passwords in the database, which contains recent—not old—passwords. Unlike typical breaches targeting one organization, this breach compiles stolen credentials from multiple sources on the dark web. Experts strongly advise changing all passwords immediately, avoiding reuse across accounts, and enabling two-factor authentication to add a security layer. Users should also avoid clicking unknown links in messages, as attackers may exploit this breach for scams.
Researchers have found that about 16 billion passwords were leaked in a recent global data breach. FOX 4 spoke with a UT Dallas expert about how you can protect your information.

Help your students avoid falling down the ‘summer slide’
SUMMARY: A 2020 study by the American Educational Research Association found that 52% of U.S. students in grades 1–6 lose academic progress during summer, with 17–28% loss in English Language Arts and 25–34% in Math. Central Texas teachers warn of the “summer slide,” encouraging students and parents to keep minds engaged through reading and math activities over the break. First-grade teacher Antoinette King suggests practical methods like sounding out words on signs and counting produce while shopping. Local free resources, including Austin Public Library and Khan Academy, offer programs to help students maintain skills during summer.

US inserts itself into Israel’s war with Iran, striking 3 Iranian nuclear sites
SUMMARY: The U.S. launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan—joining Israel’s war against Iran’s nuclear program. President Trump declared the sites “completely and fully obliterated” without independent verification and warned of more strikes if Iran retaliates. Iran condemned the attacks, promising consequences and seeking a UN Security Council meeting. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported no increased radiation at the sites. Israel sounded missile alerts amid ongoing Iranian barrages. The U.S. used bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles in the first combat use of the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator. The conflict risks escalating regionally despite Trump’s reluctance to send ground troops.

Former Longhorns linebacker returns to defend campus in whole new way
SUMMARY: Former Texas Longhorns linebacker Matt Jones has returned to the University of Texas at Austin, not as a player, but as a campus police officer. Jones played for the Longhorns in 1995 and 1996, contributing to historic wins. After 24 years with the Austin Police Department, he is now serving the community that once cheered him on, bringing valuable knowledge of campus geography and student life. Sworn in recently, Jones credits Police Chief Shane Streppy’s leadership for his return. His mission remains clear: to keep students, faculty, and staff safe while embracing his Longhorn roots in a whole new way.
