Man Gored by Bison While Visiting Yellowstone National Park
Originally appeared on E! Online
A New Jersey resident is on the mend after a shocking end to his visit to Wyoming.
At Yellowstone National Park June 10, a 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, sustained minor injuries after being gored by a bison, when a large visiting group got a little too close to the animal, according to the park's website.
Park officials said in a news release that the bison charged at the man at around 9:45 a.m. local time in the Old Faithful geyser area of the park. Yellowstone officials are still investigating the severity of the man's injuries and the incident itself, although they reported he had been 'treated and transported by emergency personnel.'
This is the fifth bison-related incident to occur in the national park since 2023, according to Yellowstone. The latest bison blitz follows another situation that occurred this spring in the Lake Village area of the park, when a 47-year-old Florida resident was similarly struck by the animal's horns.

And in 2024, an 83-year-old woman from South Carolina was more severely injured after she was lifted off the ground by the grassland animal's horns. Following her attack, Yellowstone issued a report saying she was airlifted to an Idaho hospital by helicopter.
Yellowstone repeatedly warns its visitors about the dangers of getting too close to bison that live in the park, recommending to maintain at least 25 yards of distance from the animals, and at least 100 yards from the park's bears, wolves and cougars.
'Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal,' Yellowstone has said in several press statements following the various attacks. 'Bison are not aggressive animals but will defend their space when threatened. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.'
After the park opened up on the situation on social media, many online users reacted to the latest attack, noting the victim was blatantly breaking the Yellowstone rules.
'Don't pet the fluffy cows!' one user joked, with another adding, 'You guys don't put those signs up just for fun??'

16 billion login credentials from Google and other sites leaked online, report says
Sixteen billion login credentials have been leaked and compiled into datasets online, giving criminals "unprecedented access" to accounts consumers use each day, according to researchers at cybersecurity outlet Cybernews. According to a report published this week, Cybernews researchers have recently discovered 30 exposed datasets that each contain a vast amount of login information — amounting to a total of 16 billion compromised credentials. That includes user passwords for a range of popular platforms including Google, Facebook and Apple. Because 16 billion is roughly double the amount of people on Earth today, the number signals that impacted consumers may have had credentials for more than one account leaked. Cybernews notes that there are most certainly duplicates in the data and so "it's impossible to tell how many people or accounts were actually exposed." It's also important to note that the leaked login information doesn't stem from a single source, such as one breach targeting a company. Instead, it appears that the data was stolen through multiple events over time, and then compiled and briefly exposed publicly, which is when Cybernews reports that its researchers discovered it. Various so-called "infostealers" are most likely the culprit, Cybernews noted. Infostealers are a form of malicious software that breaches a victim's device or systems to take sensitive information. The report comes amid a recent wave of cybersecurity attacks, which have grown more advanced in recent years. Two insurers, Erie Insurance and Philadelphia Insurance Companies, announced that their networks were hacked earlier this month. On Friday, Aflac said hackers gained access to its customers' personal information in a cybersecurity attack last week. Experts worry the situation may only get worse, CBS News' 60 Minutes recently reported. Experts call for "cyber hygiene" Many questions remain about these leaked credentials, including whose hands the login credentials are in now. But, as data breaches become more and more common in today's world, experts continue to stress the importance of maintaining key "cyber hygiene." If you're worried about your account data potentially being exposed in a recent breach, the first thing you can do is change your password — and avoid using the same or similar login credentials on multiple sites. If you find it too hard to memorize all your different passwords, consider a password manager or passkey. And also add multifactor authentication, which can serve as a second layer of verification through your phone, email or USB authenticator key.

Diddy Assistant Claims He Was Fired For Forgetting Mogul's Fanny Pack
Originally appeared on E! Online Brendan Paul has entered the witness box. Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant revealed he was fired multiple times during 'intense' workdays, according to NBC News reporters in the courtroom. 'In late Oct 2023, I forgot his Lululemon fanny pack,' Paul—who worked for Combs for 18 months from 2022 to 2024—told the jurors June 20. 'He said, 'I don't want to see your face. Call Kristina Khorram [Combs' former Chief of Staff] and say you are fired.' He was disappointed, and his tone was angry.' He recalled Khorram telling him to 'lay low' for some time and that 'everything will be fine.' A few days later, he testified, the Bad Boys Records founder saw him and said, 'Hey.' Similar to other former employees, Paul admitted he was often sleep-deprived as he worked for Combs. 'I was young, so I was able to handle it,' the 29-year-old shared. 'I would take Adderall and rare use of cocaine.' More from E! Online What Happened to Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle?

'We would make sure he was happy. He does not take no for an answer. He said he wants us to move like Seal Team 6, nothing taken by surprise.' Following Paul's testimony on day 27, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Joseph Cerciello will be a summary witness for the prosecution. It's been a tense few days in court as Juror No. 6 was removed June 16 —despite the defense's concerns over eliminating one of two Black individuals on the jury—which was followed by worries that another male juror may have spoken improperly with a former colleague about the case. Combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, as well as transportation to engage in prostitution.

Tech Founder Pledges to Leave $17 Billion Fortune to His 106 Children
Originally appeared on E! Online Pavel Durov is leaving a special message in his family group chat. The Telegram founder recently revealed that he's dividing his massive fortune—an estimated $17.1 billion, per Forbes—between all 106 of his children. 'I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,' Durov, 40, told French outlet Le Point in an interview published June 19. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights. I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.' Indeed, the Russian tech mogul explained that he's the 'official father' of six children from three different partners. Meanwhile, he decided to 'help a friend' by becoming a sperm donor nearly 15 years ago, resulting in him fathering 100 kids across 12 countries. More from E!

In fact, Durov—who launched Telegram, a cloud-based messaging app, alongside his brother Nikolai Durov in 2013—noted his offspring will not have access to their inheritances until '30 years' after the day of his interview with the French publication. 'I want them to live like normal people,' he continued, 'to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account.' This revelation comes months after the billionaire was arrested and charged in France with enabling illegal crimes, ranging from child sex abuse material and drug trafficking, to occur on his platform last August. While Durov is out on bail, he faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted, according to the New York Times. As for his growing fortune, Durov isn't the only billionaire that's been open about passing down assets to their next of kin. In fact, Bill Gates—who shares kids Jennifer, 28, Rory, 25, and Phoebe, 22, with ex-wife Melinda French Gates—revealed he's leaving 'less than one percent' of his reported $116 billion fortune to his family, which amounts to over $1 billion. 'It's not a dynasty,' he explained on Raj Shamani's Figuring Out podcast in March, noting that giving his children a larger portion 'wouldn't be a favor to them.' 'I'm not asking them to run Microsoft. I want to give them a chance to have their own earnings and success, be significant and not overshadowed by the incredible luck and good fortune I had.'
