But a funny thing happened over the last five years. As the U.N. Development chief, Mark Malloch Brown, puts it, “The spotlight went away, but these countries slowly began putting their houses in order....

What Is Pagejacking? Pagejacking is a type of online fraud where visitors are redirected to another website without their knowledge. The term “pagejacking” is coined from two words: webpage and hijacking. The threat actors recreate a website’s content, using resources such as images, text, and others without permission from the original site’s owner.

Donald Trump Jr. criticized Biden for his announced intention to raise taxes. The president’s son said Biden intended to take the money Americans were able to retain from the Trump administration’s tax cuts and “keep it in the swamp.” “That makes sense, though, because Joe Biden is basically the Loch Ness Monster of the Swamp,” Donald Trump Jr. continued. “For the past half-century, he’s been lurking around in there. He sticks his head up every now and then to run for president, then he disappears and doesn’t do much in between....
