A Round Lake Park man who has been a registered sex offender for several years pleaded guilty Monday in McHenry County in a new case with a new victim involving a similar offense to the one that previously landed him on the registry. Anthony D. Morales, who turns 32 Tuesday, pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child younger than 17 years, a Class 2 felony, according to court records and a news release from the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office. Judge Tiffany Davis sentenced Morales to 10 years in prison, court records show. His prison time will be followed by four years of mandatory supervised release. He must follow conditions of the sex offender registration act for the rest of his life. Following his arrest last year in the McHenry County case, prosecutors said he had committed “the exact same crime” to which he’d pleaded guilty in Lake County and which landed him on the sex offender registry. He was still serving probation on the Lake County conviction when he was charged in the McHenry County case, records show. That offense occurred in Vernon Hills and involved a 15-year-old child, according to courtroom testimony. In the McHenry

Curious about going electric but not sure where to start? RACQ’s EV Test Drive Day lets you get behind the wheel of some of the latest battery electric models and learn about range, charging and the everyday driving experience. Interest in electric vehicles continues to gain momentum across Australia, with a growing number of drivers making the switch from traditional petrol and diesel cars. The shift is increasingly evident in new vehicle sales data. New vehicle sales data from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries show battery electric vehicles accounted for a record 20% of all new vehicle sales in May 2026 – the highest monthly market share on record. Electrified vehicles more broadly, including battery electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, made up 46% of all new vehicle sales during the month, meaning nearly one in two new cars sold in Australia in May featured some form of electrification. Even as overall vehicle sales declined by 4.8% compared with May 2025, demand for electric and hybrid models continued to climb,  » Read More

"Best-of" compilation, sponsored by ThreatLocker Misconfiguration has been called the unsolved "Gordian knot" of cybersecurity: the problem nearly every organization has and almost none have fully untied. A firewall rule left open, a permission never revoked, a default nobody changed. Each one is an opening that exists long before anyone tries to break in. In this article , we looked through past CISO Series episodes to find the top remarks from Rob Allen , chief product officer at ThreatLocker . He makes the case for treating configuration as something to monitor continuously rather than to set once and trust forever. He walks through what 150 daily checks look for, why a hardened machine doesn't stay hardened, and how even trusted software can carry the same moves as ransomware. Read the full article here .

Monday June 29, 2026 4:01 pm PDT by Juli Clover Popular messaging app WhatsApp is now allowing users to reserve usernames ahead of plans to launch username-based messaging. Right now, WhatsApp uses a person's phone number as an identifier, but usernames will allow people to interact without having to exchange personal information. Username reservations are rolling out starting this week, and not all users will have access to the reservation system right away. WhatsApp is sending a notification when a username can be reserved. Usernames are optional, and once access has been granted, a username can be selected by going to Settings > Account > Username. Usernames can be 3 to 35 characters in length. There are over three billion people on WhatsApp, and the company says it is opening up reservations early so "everyone has the opportunity to select the username that matters to them." WhatsApp suggests users choose a unique name only contacts would know. Creators, small businesses, and organizations have the option to claim their existing Instagram or Facebook username on WhatsApp. Users who have a username on Instagram or Facebook can claim the same username on WhatsApp by choosing the Use Instagram username or Use Facebook

WhatsApp today announced a much-awaited feature: usernames, which will allow users to share their profiles without disclosing their phone number. However, WhatsApp will still require a phone number to create an account on the chat app. WhatsApp has been working on adding usernames for a few years, and it is finally ready to detail how they work. Starting today, the Meta-owned company will let users reserve usernames, which will officially roll out later this year. People can choose any username with 3 to 35 characters. The company said it’s reserving usernames for top celebrities, VIPs, and organizations. Besides that, there aren’t any restrictions on choosing a username, as long as it doesn’t violate the company’s policies. Meta said that if businesses and creators want to maintain uniformity, they can claim their Facebook or Instagram username as their WhatsApp username. Users will receive a notification once the username reservation option is available in their country. After that, they can go to Settings > Account > Username to choose their username. WhatsApp will also provide an option for users to set a username key that others will need to know to message them. Meta noted that the reason for the reservation process is
