Interpol issues red notice for Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon
Following a request by South Korean prosecutors, Interpol has placed Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon on a "red notice" list.
Interpol is using AI to hunt down child predators online
The FBI may have scored a big win with operation Playpen, which helped dismantle a ring of TOR-based pedophiles and prosecute its members (thanks, Rule 41), but that was just one battle in the ongoing war against the sexual exploitation of children. That fight is now a bit easier for European law enforcement, which as debuted a new machine learning AI system that hunts for child porn on P2P networks.
Russian arrested over giant LinkedIn password hack
You might not be happy that a hacker swiped millions of LinkedIn passwords back in 2012, but it sounds like you might soon get some justice. Czech police acting on behalf of the FBI and Interpol say they have arrested a Russian citizen suspected of compromising both LinkedIn and other US targets. Officials quietly caught the unnamed man in Prague on October 5th, but are only confirming the bust now for "tactical reasons." A court will decide whether or not the alleged hacker faces extradition to the US.
'No More Ransom' helps you fight ransomware without paying
Ransomware is one of the most chilling type of malware floating around the internet: an attack that locks a user's files hostage behind an encrypted paywall. Universities, hospitals and even seats of government have fallen victim to these kinds of attacks, paying thousands of dollars in ransom to cyber-criminals in hopes of recovering precious data. Now, authorities and IT companies are fighting back. Intel Secruity, Interpol, the Dutch police and Kaspersky labs have teamed up to create No More Ransom, a web-portal with tool that help users remove ransomware without paying off their attackers.
Europe doesn't properly recycle most of its electronic waste
You probably know that you should recycle your old tech when you're done with it, but getting other people to do the same? That's quite hard, apparently. The United Nations and INTERPOL have found that only 35 percent of the European Union's electronic waste in 2012, about 3.2 million imperial tons, was recycled properly. The rest (6.1 million tons) was either exported, recycled improperly or trashed. And that's a problem beyond just the expected environmental issues, such as toxins making their way into landfills. Many crooks take advantage of this lapse by scavenging and smuggling e-waste -- that old laptop you chucked out might be a gold mine for a bootlegger hoping to sell its parts or raw metals.

Interpol reluctantly brings the 'I, Spy' genre to PS3
TikGames is bringing one of its first XBLA games to PlayStation Network next week -- and we're not entirely sure why. Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos is a game where you must find things in pictures. Seriously, that's it. While this may be fun for casual gamers and children, we find it unlikely that PS3's hardcore gamer community will find it particularly engaging. The critics certainly didn't, giving it a Metacritic score of 45.Let's hope the PS3 version won't cost the same as the Xbox 360 version: $10. But to save the most money, take this advice from Joystiq's Richard Mitchell in this old XBLA in Brief video: "you could buy a copy of Highlights and do the exact same thing."
