Click here to see the summarySAN FRANCISCO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) said on Friday it was assessing a claim made by the Lockbit cybercrime gang that it had âa tremendous amountâ of sensitive data stolen from the aerospace giant that it would dump online if Boeing didnât pay ransom by Nov. 2. âFor now we will not send lists or samples to protect the company BUT we will not keep it like that until the deadline,â the hacking group said. The hacking group typically deploys ransomware on a victim organizationâs system to lock it up and also steals sensitive data for extortion. Lockbit was the most active global ransomware group last year based on the number of victims it claimed on its data leak blog, according to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The gang, whose eponymous ransomware was first seen on Russian-language-based cybercrime forums in January 2020, has made 1,700 attacks on U.S. organizations since then, CISA said in June. The hacking gang also did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent on an address it mentioned on its data leak site. â Saved 26% of original text.
CAIRO/JERUSALEM, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Projectiles hit two Egyptian Red Sea towns on Friday, sources and officials said, injuring six people and showing the risk of regional spillover from the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Israelâs military blamed an âaerial threatâ in the Red Sea region: a possible reference to Yemenâs Iran-backed Houthi movement which is known to use drones.
Egyptian army spokesperson Colonel Gharib Abdel-Hafez said an âunidentified droneâ crashed into a building adjacent to a hospital injuring the six in Taba, on the border with Israel, in the early hours.
Later, another projectile fell near an electricity plant in a desert area of the town of Nuweiba about 70 km (43 miles) from the border, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters, adding that they were still gathering more information.
Without specifying the location, Israelâs military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said combat helicopters were scrambled when âan aerial threat was spotted in the Red Sea regionâ.
On Wednesday, Hamas said it had targeted the Israeli town of Eilat, adjacent to Taba across the border, with a missile in what appeared to be the Islamist groupâs longest-range Palestinian attack of the flare-up since Oct. 7.

GAZA, Oct 27 (Reuters) - A medical team and 10 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Friday via the Rafah crossing with Egypt, carrying water, food and medicine, a Palestinian border official told Reuters.
Gaza has been hit by unrelenting Israeli air strikes in response to the cross-border attack by Hamas gunmen into southern Israel on Oct. 7.
The World Food Programme said at the same U.N. briefing that 21 of 23 bakeries it worked with in Gaza have had to shut due to fuel shortages.
âWe are aware of the 1,000 patients that require dialysis and over 100 children and babies that are in incubators, so we do our best to try and make the prioritisation in accordance with the greatest needs,â Hastings said.
Already, 12 hospitals or about a third of the total in Gaza have shut down due to damage or lack of fuel, the U.N. humanitarian office said on Friday.
The World Health Organizationâs Richard Peeperkorn described scenes of patients being operated on in hospital corridors without anaesthetics and medical supplies being âripped offâ delivery trucks.

SEOUL, Oct 26 (Reuters) - South Koreaâs constitutional court on Thursday narrowly upheld a law banning same-sex relations within the armed forces, citing a possible risk to the militaryâs combat readiness in a ruling criticised by activists as a setback for gay rights.
Under the countryâs military criminal act, members of the armed forces face up to two years in prison for same-sex relationships.
In Thursdayâs five-to-four ruling, the court said allowing same-sex relations could undermine discipline within the military and harm its combat capabilities.
Activists said the law fuels violence and discrimination against and stigmatization of gay soldiers.
âThis continued endorsement for the criminalization of consensual same-sex acts within the Korean military is a distressing setback in the decades-long struggle for equality in the country,â Boram Jang, Amnesty Internationalâs East Asia researcher, said in a statement after Thursdayâs ruling.
South Korea has one of the worldâs largest active armies, with all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 28 required to serve between 18 and 21 months.

SEOUL, Oct 26 (Reuters) - North Koreaâs foreign ministry accused Israel of bombing a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Oct 17., saying it had openly committed a war crime âunder the undisguised patronage of the United Statesâ.
In a statement carried on state-run news agency KCNA, a ministry spokesman also blamed the United States for âgiving Israel a green light to massacre Palestinians without any worriesâ by supplying it with weapons and military support, including deploying aircraft carriers in the Middle East.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has said 471 people were killed in a blast at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital earlier this month.
Palestinians and Arab states said an Israeli air strike hit the hospital.
Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by Hamas, a Palestinian militant Islamic Jihad group, which has denied responsibility.
There is still uncertainty around the death toll from the hospital blast and the number of injuries, U.S. officials said.

If they donât like their âtax evasionsâ, then they should change the laws and remove the loopholes that allow it.

GENEVA, Oct 12 (Reuters) - The blockaded Gaza Strip still has some fuel to operate generators such as those in hospitals but it could run out in hours, a Red Cross official said on Thursday, saying it is too unsafe to move stored aid around the enclave.
Israel has responded to Saturdayâs deadly surprise attack by Hamas militants by putting Gaza, home to 2.3 million people, under total siege and launching by far the most powerful bombing campaign in the 75-year history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
âOur understanding is that there is still fuel - but probably only for a few hours - to allow generators to work, including in hospitals,â Fabrizio Carboni, the International Committee of the Red Cross (IRCRC) regional director, told reporters.
ICRC teams are pre-positioning staff and stocks in strategic hubs close to Gaza as part of its preparations, he added.
Israel has said there will be no humanitarian exceptions to its siege until all its hostages seized by Hamas militants during the weekend attacks were freed.
The ICRC, an impartial humanitarian body which visits prisoners of war and detainees and sometimes facilitates their release, said earlier it was in direct contact with both Hamas and Israeli officials about the hostages but declined to give details.

Click here to see the summaryTOKYO, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Japan and Denmark are set to agree later on Tuesday to join hands in researching and developing floating offshore wind power technologies in a bid to combat climate change, an official at Japanâs industry ministry said. The nascent floating offshore wind industry is poised for explosive growth in the coming decade as countries strive to cut their carbon emissions. Many details have yet to be decided but the two countries will likely discuss spearheading the creation of de facto global standards for the industry, the official said. Japan aims to have 10 gigawatt (GW) of offshore wind power, including bottom-fixed and floating wind power, by 2030 and up to 45 GW by 2040. It wants renewables to provide 36%-38% of its electricity mix by the end of this decade from around 20% now and has targeted becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Japan is also working on delivering a roadmap for floating offshore wind power by the end of March 2024. â Saved 12% of original text.
Oct 23 (Reuters) - U.S. technology giants are likely to post their strongest quarterly revenue growth in at least a year as their legacy businesses stabilized, but investors looking for signs of a boost from artificial intelligence (AI) may be disappointed.
Microsoft (MSFT.O), Google-parent Alphabet (GOOGL.O), Facebook-parent Meta Platforms (META.O) and Amazon (AMZN.O) are expected to have built on the recovery in their enterprise software and digital ads businesses as professional and consumer spending stayed resilient despite an uncertain global economy.
The quartetâs shares have rallied â between Microsoftâs 36% and Metaâs 157% â this year, boosting their combined market value to over $6 trillion and lifting the benchmark S&P 500 index (.SPX).
RBC Capital Market estimates Microsoft will clock over $3 billion in revenue from generative AI offerings this fiscal.
On Tuesday, Microsoft is likely to report a nearly 9% rise in first-quarter revenue, according to LSEG data, driven by strength in its enterprise productivity software business.
But cloud computing growth for all the companies is expected to show little improvement as clients look for ways to optimize their infrastructure costs.
