World Cup to use drones to help protect stadiums
Man-to-man marking will be paired with drone v drone security at this winter's Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
Unmanned aerial vehicles that shoot nets to bring down small "rogue" drones will help defend venues.
Fortem Technologies will provide the interceptor drones, following an agreement with Qatar's interior ministry.
It says the agreement reflects growing fears about the threat potential drone attacks pose in general.
Fortem says its system is a safe way to bring down drones in built-up locations, reducing the risks of injury that might be caused if weapons were used..
The autonomous, radar-guided interceptor drones - dubbed DroneHunters by the firm - tackle small consumer drones by firing nets to snare the target drone which may then be carried to another location.
For larger drones, a net is launched at the target which is connected to a parachute, slowing the entangled target and forcing it to the ground.
New product alert! Testing out the Fortem Drogue Chute™ on larger fixed wing targets. This particular target has a 9 ft. wingspan, and a 25lbs take off weight, (similar to Russian Orlan 10). #newproduct #chute #drones #dronetechnology pic.twitter.com/qdjoyNeq3h
— Fortem Technologies (@FortemTech) June 13, 2022
Targets are identified using a "series of very small radars that are distributed throughout the venue, creating a complete picture of the airspace straight up into the air", Fortem chief executive and co-founder Timothy Bean told the BBC.

TechCrunchWorld Fund joins $128M bet that quantum can deliver climate breakthroughs
World Fund, a newcomer in climate-VC land, is taking the lead in a $128 million round for IQM, with hopes the Finnish quantum computing company will one day deliver carbon cuts by the megatonne. Quantum computing trades the bits of conventional computers for quantum bits, and in theory, quantum machines may be better suited for solving some highly complex problems in fields like chemistry and machine learning. IQM argues its tech could also move the needle on climate, but there is cause to be skeptical of the industry on the whole; we've seen a lot of hype around quantum computing startups, and yet the field mostly remains stuck in labs today.

TechCrunchT-Mobile will pay out $350M to customers in data breach settlement
If you were one of the nearly 77 million people affected by last year's T-Mobile breach, you may have a few bucks coming your way. The company has just announced the terms of a settlement in a consolidated class action lawsuit, and it isn't cheap: $350 million to be split up by customers (and lawyers), plus $150 million "for data security and related technology." The breach apparently occurred sometime early last year, after which collections of T-Mobile customer data were put up for sale on various criminal forums.

StoryfulUkraine Says 'Kamikaze Drone' Killed Russian Troops at Nuclear Plant
Ukrainian troops carried out a deadly strike on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Enerhodar, Ukraine, on July 20, Ukrainian officials said.This footage, captured by the “Kamikaze” drone used to carry out the strike, was released by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on July 22. It shows the moment of impact and the chaos that followed.Three Russians were killed and 12 were injured in the attack on the plant, according to the ministry. The tent city that was set up during the occupation of the ZNPP “was destroyed by a fire that could not be extinguished for a long time,” said the statement.Energoatom, the Ukrainian state-owned company that runs the four nuclear power plants in the country, reported that Russian troops have been violating safety protocols since they took control of the plant on March 4. Currently there are 500 Russian soldiers and a significant amount of military equipment stored there, according to Ukrainian media.Despite the attack, which the Defense Ministry said “worked brilliantly,” the plant is still under Russian control, according to reports by Energoatom.“Given that it is impossible to predict the actions of invaders, the threat to the station’s physical security remains,” said the energy company in a statement on Telegram.

ReutersRussia taking hundreds of casualties daily in Ukraine war -U.S. official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States believes Russia's military is suffering hundreds of casualties a day in its war in Ukraine, and with the loss so far of thousands of lieutenants and captains, its chain of command is struggling, a senior U.S. defense official said on Friday. Nearly five months since President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Russia's neighbor, its forces are grinding through the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine and occupy around a fifth of the country. The United States estimates that Russian casualties in Ukraine have reached around 15,000 killed and perhaps 45,000 wounded, CIA Director William Burns said on Wednesday, adding that Ukraine has also endured significant casualties.
