TEHRAN Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad, a local prosecutor reportedly said Monday. While Trump faces no danger of arrest, the charges underscore the heightened tensions between Iran and the United States since Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers. Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed that Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends. Alqasimehr also was quoted as saying that Iran requested a red notice be put out for Trump and the others, which represents the highest-level arrest request issued by Interpol. After receiving a request, Interpol meets by committee and discusses whether or not to share the information with its member states.
A cyberattack known as e-skimming is getting more common with the rise of online shopping
Skimmers, or hidden devices designed to steal credit card information, have long been a threat for consumers at the gas pump or ATM. Interpol, which helps coordinate police agencies in 194 countries, said Monday it arrested three people from Indonesia who allegedly compromised hundreds of online shopping websites. Cybercriminals can compromise websites in many ways, including breaking into the web server directly or breaking into a common server that supports many online shopping websites, to compromise them all. One example of an online shopping service is Magento, which was acquired by Adobe in 2018 for more than $1.6 billion. E-skimming, or Magecart, is a cybersecurity hacking technique that steals information as the consumer puts it into a online shopping website.
