The US-based Anthropic said its coding tool, Claude Code, was "manipulated" by a Chinese state-sponsored group to attack 30 entities around the world in September, achieving a "handful of successful intrusions".

A deadly conflict between bears and humans is playing out across Japan, where authorities have deployed the military to protect locals who are using drone-based alert and surveillance systems to track the bears. Since April this year, at least 13 people have been killed and more than 100 have been injured in bear attacks in the country, according to an October report by the Ministry of Environment. The ministry added that the death toll is the highest since Japan began keeping records of bear attacks in 2006. It is also home to Asiatic black bears - also known as Moon bears - which are smaller in size, weighing between 80-200kg (176-440 pounds), and are found on the mainland, which is more densely populated. Both types of bear have been involved in incidents this year, and both are dangerous to humans to varying degrees.
