The Register reports that a batch of critical and high-rated SQLite CVEs, which were recently added to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) with enrichment from CISA, were identified as technically invalid by security researchers.

The exposed document contained the names and work email addresses of 51 government officials, along with "high-level management information."

The OPM breaches, which compromised sensitive personal information of approximately 22 million individuals, including Social Security numbers and security clearance records, are now seeing their 10-year identity protection services expire.

The breach affected the PNLD, a legal reference system used by all 43 Home Office police forces in England and Wales, as well as the public Q&A service "Ask the Police."

Brad Blakestad, director of the National Quantum Coordination Office, emphasized that quantum technology is not monolithic, encompassing computing, sensing, and networking, each with distinct components and multiple modalities within computing alone.

LeakNet published a preview of the alleged stolen data on July 27, including screenshots of databases, medical spreadsheets, and internal messages.

The leaked database contains approximately 23.4 million user records, 13.6 million device records, and 2.6 million payment records.
