High profile meetings of world leaders are extremely attractive targets for espionage, so it's no surprise the US Secret Service uncovered a network of more than 300 servers and 100,000 SIM cards in New York City in the days leading up to the 80th UN General Assembly. According to the Secret Service, those devices could have enabled bad actors to shut down communication networks in the area or to spy on the session. Matt McCool is the special agent in charge of the Washington field office. He made brief remarks in a video message.

Some studies have pointed to a link between autism and Tylenol, but these correlations could be a fluke or coincidence. Baldwin says both shark bites and eating cream increase in summer, but that doesn't mean that one causes the other. She says correlation is very different from proving that something causes harm.
