More than 100,000 people displaced in eastern Congo since the start of the year, UN says
More than 100,000 people have been displaced since the start of the year in eastern Congo as a result of a new rebel offensive, according to a United Nations report released Friday. M23 rebels captured the town of Masisi on Monday, leading to a mass exodus of people in the face of a new offensive by the rebel group that saw them take over two strategic towns in the east of the country in less than a week.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictments of Russian citizens Roman Vitalyevich Ostapenko, Alexander Evgenievich Oleynik, and Anton Vyachlavovich Tarasov, accusing them of operating services that helped criminals launder cryptocurrency. The three were allegedly involved in operating Bender.io and Sinbad.io, two cryptocurrency mixers “that served as safe havens for laundering criminally derived funds, including the proceeds of ransomware and wire fraud,” principal deputy assistant attorney general Brent Wible, the head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, was quoted as saying in a press release. Blender.io and Sinbad.io were seized in an international law enforcement operation in 2023, and suspected to have been used by North Korean hackers, who have become proficient at stealing and laundering millions of dollars in crypto, as well as ransomware gangs, who profit from extorting financial ransoms from hacked companies..

The two biggest fires devastating the Los Angeles area grew just slightly Friday as firefighters beat back the blazes that have killed at least 10 people, obliterated neighborhoods and left the nation's second-largest city on edge.
