FARGO (KFGO) – North Dakota’s Attorney General is providing an update on the widespread investigation into the alleged use of Snapchat by students at Fargo Davies and other schools to create and distribute sexually explicit images of minors. Drew Wrigley says 27 juveniles were referred to juvenile court for possible charges of crimes against around 65 separate victims. Wrigley called the case ‘unprecedented’. “The other side of that, that particularly troubling which also adds to it being an unprecedented case in North Dakota, in the neighborhood of 65 victims separate victims of the conduct. 65 victims who had images either made through artificial intelligence or altered in some way by artificial intelligence and such that they became sexual abuse, child sexual abuse materials.” Wrigley said. Wrigley says the use of artificial intelligence in the case is not a victimless crime. “It is far from victimless, it is a crime where they feel, rightly, completely violated, and something’s been taken from them, their privacy,” Wrigley said. “And some people say well ‘in some of the instances it’s not a real image’, uh yeah, but it sure looks like it, and it’s created with the intent of harassing that person.” Wrigley says

If you have ever created an avatar for your WhatsApp profile, you should know the feature is being deleted altogether. Avatars are being removed from the WhatsApp feature list, starting with the ability to edit. The news comes courtesy of WABetaInfo , which notes users are seeing a new info card in the WhatsApp app with a notice of Meta’s removal. The card also explains that avatars will be removed from WhatsApp profiles in a coming update. WhatsApp’s miniature versions of users have been around since late 2022, but the recent notice from Meta would indicate the feature isn’t being prioritized going forward. WhatsApp profiles generally showcase profile photos first, with an avatar accessible if the user has one created. The feature was a product of Meta’s push for VR visuals, mirroring the avatars available for Quest users. The feature extended to stickers, too. Those are being removed in addition to the profile avatars, but timing is unclear. Meta hasn’t disclosed the full timeline for the feature’s removal, but it’s been reported that many users are seeing the warning in-app. When the full removal happens, users will not be able to create, edit, or share avatars with others. Beyond avatars

PC and printer maker HP has named John Koller as its interim chief marketing and corporate affairs officer.  Koller has worked at HP since 2022 as the company’s SVP of marketing. He did not immediately respond to PRWeek’s request for comment, but HP’s head of crisis and policy comms Katie Derkits confirmed the new appointment. “Since joining HP in 2022, John has driven measurable impact across print while building high-performing teams and strong channel partnerships,” said Derkits. “He brings both external perspective and deep HP experience that will be instrumental as we accelerate our ambitions to be a leader in the Future of Work."

Cybersecurity company Trellix says a part of its source code repository was recently breached, but shared little other information about the incident.   Trellix said it has been working with forensic experts to investigate the intrusion, and law enforcement has been notified.  “Based on our investigation to date, we have found no evidence that our source code release or distribution process was affected, or that our source code has been exploited,” Trellix said in a statement.  The security firm has promised to share additional details after it completes its probe.  Until then, the industry is left to speculate on the exact window of intrusion, who was behind the attack, and which specific products had their source code exposed. The timing, however, suggests the breach may be related to a major supply chain attack targeting various open source applications to gain access to numerous companies.  Linked to the profit-driven hacker groups TeamPCP and Lapsus$, this campaign has impacted several cybersecurity firms, including Checkmarx, Aqua Security, and Bitwarden.  The hackers exploited trust in software development and security infrastructure, compromising CI/CD pipelines to distribute trojanized updates and malicious extensions, which enabled large-scale exfiltration of credentials and source code from affected enterprise environments.

Troy University’s College of Health Sciences welcomed approximately 165 fifth-grade students from various schools across Pike County to its Health Day Camp, an interactive event designed to promote healthy habits and spark interest in health science-related careers. The one-day camp, held on the Troy campus, featured hands-on learning stations focused on key topics including mental health, nutrition, hygiene, basic first aid, exercise, and safety. Students participated in engaging activities such as educational games and demonstrations that reinforced lessons on physical activity and wellness. Jenna Hussey, DNP,RN, Associate Professor in the School of Nursing and coordinator of the event, said the camp was a success in reaching young learners early. “Introducing children to foundational health concepts at this age helps them build lifelong habits and shows them that careers in health sciences such as nursing, social work, nutrition, and physical education are accessible and rewarding,” Hussey said. “We were thrilled to see the excitement on their faces as they rotated through the stations and asked thoughtful questions about how their bodies work and how these professions can help people every day. Events like this align perfectly with our mission to serve our community and inspire the next generation of health science

Just days before the trial started, Elon Musk tried to settle his lawsuit, which alleges that under Sam Altman’s direction, OpenAI abandoned its mission to serve as a nonprofit making AI to benefit humanity. According to a Sunday court filing from OpenAI, Musk messaged OpenAI President Greg Brockman two days ahead of the trial to “gauge interest” in a possible settlement. Brockman promptly responded, suggesting that “both sides” drop their claims. But Musk refused, then appeared to grow threatening enough that the court may allow Brockman to testify on the message as evidence supposedly revealing Musk’s true motives for pursuing the litigation. “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America,” Musk responded to Brockman’s suggestion that all claims be dropped. “If you insist, so it will be.” OpenAI clearly did not accept the settlement terms, as the trial started last week with Musk as the first witness. On the stand, Musk stumbled several times, perhaps weakening his case by making concessions, growing hot-tempered, backing off claims that AI risks may quickly become existential, and admitting his ignorance when it comes to AI safety at his own company, xAI. If admitted, his

(Photo by Art Rogers/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) In the 1960’s, there were three great teams in the NBA: the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers, and whoever Wilt Chamberlain was playing for at the time. The Celtics were built around Bill Russell, while the Lakers were crafted around Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. Advertisement The Lakers never won a championship during Russell’s time in Boston, and this haunted West for life. Even after establishing himself as Boston’s Red Auerbach’s equal as a GM, he could not step foot in Boston Garden. In the new Prime documentary about him, Jerry West: The Logo, West reveals that he was going to go to a game at Boston with his son, but he was physically incapable of doing it. In the 60s, as you’ll see here, West and Baylor were a great combo, but they
