Samy Kamkar, the white hat hacker who discovered a security hole in GM’s OnStar app a couple of weeks ago that he could use to remotely track, unlock and start practically any car using the system, has found the same issue in apps from four other brands, Wired reports.
Kamkar developed a $100 device he calls OwnStar that wirelessly intercepts a car owner’s digital credentials when they use an app tied to the vehicle’s telematics system, allowing him to log on and control whatever remote functions are available via the app. OnStar fixed the issue after learning about it, but Kamkar now says other makes are at risk

At least 40 migrants died in the hold of an overcrowded boat while trying to cross the Mediterranean, Italy’s navy said Saturday. A rescue operation was underway to try and save hundreds of others on board the vessel, it said. The victims are thought to have suffocated after inhaling fumes from fuel after the boat took on water in the hold, the captain of the navy ship leading the rescue said on Italian state television.

Emperor Akihito expressed rare “deep remorse” over his country’s wartime actions in an address Saturday marking the 70th anniversary of Japan’s World War II surrender, a day after the prime minister fell short of apologizing in his own words to the victims of Japanese aggression.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, meanwhile, stayed away from a contentious Yasukuni shrine that honours war criminals among other war dead. He instead prayed and laid flowers at a nearby national cemetery for unnamed fallen soldiers ahead of the annual ceremony at Tokyo’s Budokan hall.

The accounts of Mueller's ordeal were first reported by British newspaper The Independent and later confirmed by her family to the Associated Press and ABC News.
Mueller, 26, from Prescott, Ariz., was taken captive in Syria in August 2013 while leaving a Spanish Doctors without Borders hospital in Aleppo.
Al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed "caliph" of the Islamic State, brought her "live and in person" to the home of Abu Sayyaf, a Tunisian in charge of oil and gas revenue for the group, counter-terrorism officials have told ABC News

I really believe that the United States needs to get tougher on terrorist and also hold people accountable. Don't really believe this is going to happen until we get a new administration that will get tough, just as President Reagan did when he was elected President
