NJ town adds fences, drones, more police for July 4 fireworks after "recent disturbances" involving juveniles
Citing "troubling trends" related to groups of unsupervised young people at public events, Maple Shade, New Jersey, is planning extra security for its Independence Day fireworks celebration next Saturday — including an increased police presence, surveillance cameras and drones, and fencing around the event area. Maple Shade Police Chief Christopher Fletcher sent a letter to the Burlington County community on Friday explaining the changes for the 2025 celebration. The town is set to have a parade at noon on June 28, followed by fireworks at dusk at Maple Shade High School. "The area surrounding Maple Shade High School will be fenced, with clearly marked entry points for all guests. Backpacks and face coverings will not be permitted inside the fenced area, as these items have been commonly used in recent disturbances throughout the region," Fletcher said. "These preparations are based on troubling trends we've seen locally (including Maple Shade) and across New Jersey, where large groups of unsupervised juveniles have disrupted public events, often arriving via rideshare services and then engaging in disorderly or violent behavior. These incidents have made event safety more complex, with many towns opting to cancel their events entirely," Fletcher added. He said Maple Shade would not be canceling its "long-standing, beloved traditions" and will coordinate across departments to have a rapid response to any issues that may arise. Fletcher acknowledged that the heightened security may cause delays or inconveniences for attendees, but said the measures are in place for safety. The full letter is available on the Maple Shade township website and Facebook page. Security changes come weeks after New Jersey passes brawl bill Maple Shade's announced security changes come only a few weeks after the passage of a bill aimed at stopping one type of gathering of unruly juveniles: public brawls. The bill upgraded penalties for disorderly conduct in some circumstances and said intentionally starting a public brawl would be a disorderly persons violation. The bill stemmed from chaos and hundreds of fights that overtook Gloucester Township Day in June 2024. Gloucester Township Day was canceled this year after law enforcement officers discovered threats of violent activity were being shared on social media.

Man charged with attempted kidnapping of Memphis mayor
A Memphis man was charged on Wednesday for attempted kidnapping after allegedly stalking Mayor Paul Young (D). Police said Trenton Abston, 25, has also been charged for criminal trespassing after visiting Young's home on Sunday. Investigators said at the time of Abston's arrest, officers recovered a taser, gloves, rope, and duct tape from his vehicle. 'Upon further review of both public and private security camera footage, we have determined that the suspect did not approach multiple homes, as initially reported,' the Memphis Police Department said in a Wednesday statement. 'Instead, after scaling a wall, the individual went directly to the Mayor's residence,' they added. Abston is scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning. Young addressed the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday, thanking officers for apprehending Abston while citing a growing concern for targeted political violence after two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were shot over the weekend along with their spouses. 'In today's climate, especially after the tragic events in Minnesota and the threats my wife and I often receive online, none of us can be too careful. The link between angry online rhetoric and real-life violence is becoming undeniable,' Young wrote. 'What starts as reckless words online can all too quickly become something much more dangerous. The angry rhetoric, the hateful speech, and the heated threats create a culture where violence feels like a next step instead of a red line,' he added. 'We cannot allow that line to be crossed.'

Sixteen billion passwords may have been stolen. Here's how to protect yourself
TORONTO — A Lithuanian cybersecurity news outlet says it uncovered a leak of 16 billion passwords that may grant access to Apple, Google, Facebook accounts and more. Cybernews warns the data is "a blueprint for mass exploitation" because it could give cybercriminals unprecedented access to information that can be used for account takeovers, identity theft and highly targeted attacks. Here's what we know about the leak so far and how people can protect themselves from its repercussions. What do we know about the leak? Cybersecurity experts are strongly speculating that the data was leaked through infostealers, said Robert Falzon, head of engineering at security software firm Check Point. Infostealers are pieces of malware users are duped into clicking on, which then install something on their computer, "which just kind of sits and listens to the computer while you're typing things from the keyboard." The malware can detect when you're logging into an account and can copy whatever you've input to send it to a database of credentials hackers compile. "As a result of that, we end up with these giant repositories on the dark net filled with lists and lists and lists of usernames and passwords and credentials that have been stolen from users all around the world and that are being bought and sold as commodities," Falzon said. Is all this leaked data new? That's up for debate. Cybernews says "the data is recent, not merely recycled from old breaches," but others disagree. "It's really hard to track the providence of all of it," Falzon said, because some hackers package data together from several leaks to resell. The only way to figure out how new it is would be to obtain other leaks and cross compare the data. Why is it worrisome? 'If hackers manage to get their hands on your password for Google, Apple, or Facebook, stealing your money and identity may be easier than taking candy from a three-year-old," Ignas Valancius, head of engineering at cybersecurity company NordPass, said in a press release. That's because hackers use the logins they obtain for credential stuffing — a practice where criminals get access to accounts by inputting stolen login information into websites. If you reuse your passwords across several websites or services, it may mean a hacker can get into your bank account and steal money, your favourite retailer accounts and drain you of your loyalty points or even find your address and birthday and use it for identity theft, Falzon said. How can I find out if my data was in the breach? Figuring out if you've been a victim of the breach would take obtaining the data and searching through it for your credentials. Because only an "extreme minority" of people have never been breached in general, Falzon said you're always best off assuming your info is part of the leak. What can Canadians do to protect themselves? Cybersecurity experts are unanimous in advising people to change their passwords regularly, especially after leaks to avoid becoming the victim of credential stuffing. But long before a breach happens, they say there are several things people can do to protect themselves. The most obvious is varying your passwords and avoiding reusing them. When you recycle passwords across several websites or services or make them easy to guess, it means hackers won't have much of a struggle accessing many of your accounts. Multifactor authentication can also offer a layer of security. When someone attempts to login to an account, it forces them to enter a code sent by email or text before they can get access. The process helps users thwart hacking attempts. I have so many accounts to keep track of and changing my passwords with every breach is making it hard to remember them all. What can I do? Some cybersecurity experts are fans of password managers. These services create strong, unique passwords for each account you have. Then, the manager stores them in an encrypted account you can quickly access anytime you need to enter a password. However, other experts argue password managers can have varying levels of encryption and warn that if the one you are using is breached, all of your passwords may be vulnerable. So what else can I do? Many experts advise people to use passkeys, when possible. Passkeys are digital credentials able to unlock accounts with a mere flash of your face or fingerprint scan on your phone. They are considered to be more secure than passwords because there is no string of characters, numbers and symbols to memorize, making them harder to hack. They don't need to be changed, can't be stolen by someone guessing or peeking over your shoulder and there's no way to accidentally use one on the wrong website. Not all websites and services accept passkeys but several big players like Apple, Shopify, Microsoft, DocuSign and PayPal do. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 20, 2025.
