《日经新闻》独家获取日本陆上自卫队内部文件，揭露机构内的机密系统终端上，持续使用植入了恶意软件的中国产U盘长达约一年。直到2025年2月，陆上自卫队中部司令部的一名职员发现电脑速度缓慢，检查插入的U盘后才发现其中暗藏电脑病毒。

对此，陆上自卫队幕僚公关室承认：“2025年2月，中部司令部彻查的一个U盘中检测出恶意软件。”报告显示，陆上自卫队内部的480台电脑中，有至少50台或已“中招”。

负责防范网络攻击的“网络部队”对回收的U盘进行了分析，发现它们是中国制造的劣质产品。这些U盘内安装的并非正规的晶片，而是廉价且处理速度慢的microSD卡，病毒正是被植入在这些卡中。中部司令部共发现六个带病毒的U盘，有超过50台电脑连接过这些U盘。

报道称，防卫总部和自卫队共同使用的系统，分为可连接互联网的“开放”型，以及需要高度保密的“封闭”型。由于在实际运作中，系统之间需要频繁进行数据交换，自卫队通常使用U盘传输数据。

在安全机制上，部队内会对所采购和使用的电脑进行病毒筛查。然而，此次漏洞在长达一年的时间里未被察觉，陆上自卫队的一名高官认为，原因可能是U盘被排除在电脑安全软件的病毒扫描外。

日经引述美国一家网络安全公司的报告，指同一病毒曾被中国黑客组织使用。他们利用U盘作为“跳板”发起网络攻击并窃取信息，攻击目标包括越南等国，以及澳大利亚的政府机构、教育机构和电信公司。因此，不排除日本已成为这个组织的目标。

基于日本医疗保健、教育、制造业和金融等行业也广泛使用Ｕ盘，自卫队的U盘病毒事件引起日本舆论的关注。

日本防长小泉进次郎星期五（6月26日）首次对部队U盘事件做出回应。他承认在电脑病毒检测相关规定方面确实存在疏漏。但他也强调，“恶意软件并未对陆上自卫队的系统造成重大影响”。 为防止此类事件再次发生，日本防卫当局正在对采购电脑和软件的程序进行更严格的监控。

June 26 (Reuters) – GREENBELT, MD. — John Bolton, a former ​national security adviser for U.S. President Donald Trump who has since become ‌one of his fiercest critics, pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday to mishandling classified information and faces up to five years in prison.

“I’m sorry for it,” Bolton told U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang ​during the hearing.

Reuters previously reported that Bolton would plead guilty under a deal ​with prosecutors that included a sentencing range from no prison time to ⁠as many as five years behind bars, with the final sentence to be determined ​by a judge.

As part of the agreement, Bolton agreed to pay a $2.25 million fine. Bolton, ​77, must make half that payment within five days of sentencing and the full payment within 90 days of sentencing.

He also committed to up to 100 hours of community service and to meet with ​intelligence and Justice Department officials for a debriefing. Bolton will also forfeit his government ​pension.

Chuang scheduled sentencing for October.

Bolton is accused of sharing sensitive information with two relatives for possible use in ‌a ⁠memoir he was writing, including notes on intelligence briefings and meetings with senior government officials and foreign leaders. He pleaded not guilty to 18 criminal charges last year.

The book detailed Bolton’s tenure as Trump’s national security advisor during his first term. In the book, Bolton ​described the president as ​unfit for office, ⁠sparking a public feud. But prosecutors said Friday that no classified information was published in Bolton’s book, “The Room Where It Happened.”

Authorities said ​Bolton’s personal email was hacked by someone believed to be linked ​to Iran, which ⁠prosecutors reiterated Friday.

Bolton, who served as national security adviser during Trump’s first term in office, is one of several notable political opponents who have faced prosecution from Trump’s Justice Department, erasing ⁠longstanding norms ​that had separated law enforcement efforts from partisan ​considerations.

But unlike other cases brought against Trump critics, the Bolton investigation began before Trump returned to office in 2025 ​and had the backing of career federal prosecutors.

A court document released by the White House revealed that the National Park Service (NPS) plans to drain the reflecting pool again after Independence Day to conduct repairs after it was allegedly vandalized.

In the document, which was filed in federal court on Thursday, NPS Deputy Director for Operations Frank Lands states that on June 9, U.S. Park Police responded to a report of damage to the reflecting pool.

Lands stated that the damage to the pool included caulk over the foam sealant that was cut with a “sharp knife or razor” and “destruction of delaminating surface material.” He also said approximately 70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool.

Lands said NPS plans to drain the reflecting pool to conduct repairs, including “assessing and repairing any damage to the lining,” and will begin “following the Independence Day celebration.”

The damage comes after more than two months of renovations on the reflecting pool ordered by President Donald Trump.

Washington, D.C., is expected to host massive crowds for Independence Day celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary. Preparations have been set back by additional incidents, including the National Mall being marked with “8647” and a blood-written message on the Washington Monument.

Among the incidents cited by the Department of the Interior unfolding on the National Mall were multiple “8647” markings. The administration has previously interpreted the number “86” as a political threat, pointing to its common use in the restaurant industry to mean removing or refusing service, while 47 appears to refer to Trump as the 47th president.

“It wasn’t until several days thereafter that there were recurring cases and videos of people ripping at the coating began to circulate,” says the Department of the Interior.(Department of Interior)

In a separate case, an individual used their own blood to write “I’ve come” on the Washington Monument, according to a police report reviewed by Fox News Digital.

According to the White House, seven individuals have been arrested in connection with the alleged vandalism of the reflecting pool, seven others have been issued federal citations, and 18 police reports have been filed.

This week, U.S. Park Police asked for the public’s help identifying a person captured on camera during an investigation into damage to the reflecting pool and alleged destruction of government property in Washington, D.C. Video released by police shows what appears to be a person kneeling next to the pool and reaching an arm into the water.

The White House released a statement on Thursday, positing “this isn’t random mischief – it’s targeted sabotage by anti-American crackpots who despise a strong, proud, and beautiful country.”

Gavin Newsom opposes a California wealth tax. He’s proposing a national billionaire tax instead

2026-06-26T13:00:25.522Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/26/politics/gavin-newsom-billionaire-tax-california

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed a national tax on billionaires that he says is the first part of an “economic reset for America” agenda, which aides explicitly say is part of his considering to launch a presidential campaign.

“The system America’s founders built was designed to prevent the concentration of power in a few hands, but we have allowed that concentration to happen anyway, slowly, in plain sight, over decades,” Newsom writes. “We can reverse it together, as a country.”

It is extremely early in the presidential campaign cycle for a policy proposal — but comes as Democrats continue to embrace economic populism and moves against the wealthy. It also comes as California voters in November will decide on a billionaires’ tax after the governor and opponents of the tax late Thursday failed to reach a deal to keep it off the ballot.

Newsom, who is term-limited in California and will leave office in January 2027, lays out his proposal in a Substack post that went live on Friday morning, calling for a minimum tax on anyone worth more than $100 million so that they pay at least the same rate, rather than less, than the average American worker who doesn’t have loopholes and other maneuvers to benefit from.

Various wealth tax ideas have been proposed by Democrats before, including by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as part of her 2020 Democratic presidential campaign. Newsom says his idea comes out of wanting to create a bulwark against how artificial intelligence will reshape the economy, also proposing what he calls a “national public equity fund” to give every American, rather than just tech companies and investors, a share in the wealth likely to be produced. That fund, an aide said, would cover worker transition benefits, universal childcare, free higher education and career training, healthcare and a national industrial strategy for AI.

Newsom also called for rewriting the rules around inheritance, arguing that with what he says will be the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in human history coming over the next 20 years, “if we do not act, that transfer of wealth among the ultra-wealthy will lock in a permanent American aristocracy of inherited wealth, with all the political consequences the founders warned us about.”

Newsom explains why that he will personally vote no on the California proposal, which would levy a one-time 5% tax on residents with a net worth over $1 billion.

Backers of the measure gathered more than 870,000 signatures and include progressives like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and California Rep. Ro Khanna – himself a 2028 contender. Newsom and others fear it would drive businesses out of California, and that the revenue collected would not be spread around widely enough.

“We’re competing with 50 states,” Newsom told the World Economic Forum earlier this year. “Capital flows and move(s). That’s real. It’s not imagined. It’s very, very real.”

In his Substack post, Newsom writes that while he understands “the anxiety” driving interest in the California proposed tax, it “turns a blind eye to safety-net clinics and reproductive healthcare providers that Planned Parenthood has fought for decades to protect. There is nothing for housing, nothing for childcare, nothing for public safety workers who must answer 911 calls, and nothing for our public universities that have powered California’s economy for a decade.”

Long a presumed candidate for president in 2028, Newsom has begun to show his political hand more explicitly with a video last week about what he said was a Justice Department investigation into his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom: “Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets, he’s coming after me because I am considering running for president.”

CNN confirmed earlier this month that Jennifer Siebel Newsom is under investigation. However, a person familiar with the probe denied that it was launched by the department’s Trump-appointed leadership in DC.

John Bolton, former Trump national security adviser, pleads guilty to retaining classified information

2026-06-26T09:29:00-0400 / CBS News

Greenbelt, Maryland — Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty Friday to one count of retaining classified information and agreed to pay a $2.25 million fine.

Bolton, now a staunch critic of Mr. Trump, was indicted last year on 18 counts related to his handling of sensitive government information that prosecutors said he shared with two relatives in “diary-like” entries over a seven-year span for possible use in a book he was writing. He had pleaded not guilty in October.

According to the terms of the plea agreement read in court Friday, Bolton’s legal team and the Justice Department agreed to a prison term of no greater than 60 months in federal detention, as well as the fine. The parties said they also agreed that Bolton would debrief national security officials on information he had unlawfully retained and would perform 100 hours of community service to assist in government efforts to stop unlawful disclosure of classified information.

Bolton appeared before U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang, who approved the settlement Friday.

Justice Department attorney Tanner Kroeger read through a summary of the allegations against Bolton, and recapped his use of messaging apps and email to distribute the diary entries to two family members.

Bolton said he agreed with the summary of facts, telling the judge that the government’s statement was “accurate.”

“I did your honor,” Bolton said when asked whether he had committed the actions at hand. He added he was “sorry for it.”

Bolton’s sentencing is set for October 28.

In a statement, Bolton’s lawyer Abbe Lowell said that his client “did what real leaders do.”

“He took responsibility for a mistake he made, thereby saving the government resources to pursue a case that could expose additional sensitive information,” Lowell said.

A federal grand jury indicted Bolton in mid-October on eight counts of transmitting national defense information and 10 counts of retaining national defense information. Prosecutors claimed that from April 2018 to August 2025, Bolton shared more than 1,000 pages about his daily activities while working in the White House for Mr. Trump with two unidentified relatives, some of which contained classified information. The indictment also alleged that Bolton kept documents, writings and notes related to the national defense, including information that was classified, in his home in Montgomery County, Maryland.

The Justice Department alleged in court papers that Bolton’s “diary-like” pages were typed transcriptions of handwritten notes that were then sent to his two relatives through a commercial, non-governmental messaging app. Prosecutors said Bolton also used personal email accounts, like those from AOL and Google, to email classified information to the family members.

在听取了安全部门负责人关于打击俄罗斯目标的简报后，乌克兰总统泽连斯基批准了一项为期40天的行动，旨在“影响”俄罗斯结束战争。

彭博社报道，泽连斯基星期四（6月25日）在社交媒体上发了帖子，但没有透露细节。他赞扬了乌克兰安全部门利用无人机保卫国家前线阵地的表现。

俄罗斯国防部报告称，一夜之间在俄罗斯多个地区击落了660架乌克兰无人机，这似乎是四年多战争以来俄罗斯领土遭受的最猛烈的空中袭击。

交战双方交换160名战俘

另据法新社报道，乌克兰和俄罗斯交换了160名被俘士兵，俄罗斯国防部在社交媒体上说，“160名俄罗斯军人已返回”，同时“160名乌克兰战俘已移交给乌克兰”。

阿拉伯联合酋长国在此次行动中参与调解。俄方人员目前正在白罗斯接受医疗救治和心理疏导，之后将返回俄罗斯。

同日，乌克兰战俘待遇协调总部在社交媒体发文称，当天160名乌军战俘获释回国。所有人员都将接受必要的医学检查和治疗。

新华社引述乌战俘待遇协调总部说，这是俄乌冲突全面爆发以来双方第76次换俘。截至目前，已有9606名乌军被俘人员通过换俘行动获释。
