Walmart employees are now wearing body cameras in some U.S. stores

According to CNBC, Walmart has begun providing store-level employees with body cameras to wear as part of a test program at select U.S. sites.

CrowdStrike moves to dismiss Delta Air Lines suit, citing contract terms

In an effort to go around the terms of the two firms' contract, CrowdStrike sought Monday night to dismiss Delta Air Lines' lawsuit on the July cybersecurity failure that resulted in canceled flights and stranded passengers. The cybersecurity service claims that Delta is currently attempting to circumvent a provision in the agreement between CrowdStrike and Delta that limits CrowdStrike's liability and caps damages. In its filing, CrowdStrike further contended that Georgia law prohibits Delta from turning a contract violation into a tort. First, according to CrowdStrike, Delta's attempts to pursue tort claims for the economic harm it alleges to have sustained are specifically barred by Georgia's economic loss rule. According to Delta, the firm lost almost $500 million in delayed flights, r...

FBI warns some lawmakers that China aims to create fake stories about them to erode support for Taiwan

Washington Two U.S. officials who were familiar with the classified briefings told NBC News that the FBI has warned a few U.S. lawmakers that the Chinese Communist Party is trying to fabricate stories to paint them negatively due to their support for Taiwan and hawkish views of Beijing. Due to the sensitive nature of the briefings, the U.S. officials asked not to be named. They claimed that one of the false narratives being spread by the CCP and referenced in FBI briefers is that these senators are supporting Taiwan because they accepted bribes from Taiwan. One of the two U.S. officials told NBC News that the CCP is attempting to discredit congressional support for Taiwan's democracy by portraying it as corrupt and not in the best interests of the American people.
