ISIS Bride Shamima Begum Not Allowed to Return to UK: Top Court
The UK Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Shamima Begum, who left the UK for Syria to join the ISIS terrorist group as a teenager, is not allowed to return and fight her citizenship case because she poses a security risk.
Begum, who has dual British-Bangladeshi citizenship, travelled to Syria at the age of 15, along with some other classmates, to join the so-called ISIS caliphate.
As the caliphate was being whittled down to its last survivors by U.S. and allied forces, she surfaced at a refugee camp in Syria, where she caught the interest of Western journalists.
Radical Extremists Operate ‘With Impunity’ Online, New Laws Needed, UK Watchdog Says

An extremist can’t be prosecuted for grooming others unless they are “encouraging the commission, preparation, or instigation” of specific acts of terrorism, the review (pdf) said.

Cybersecurity this 2020 sure is important as hacking becomes even more common than before. The nasty thing about hacking, however, is that some people do not even know that their personal email has been accessed!
This comes after a warning from Will Geddes, a security expert from his statement on talkRadio on Monday. The CEO of the International Corporate Protection Group reportedly warned Gmail that it may have been sabotaged by certain hackers. He then said that the sky is the limit for the number of compromise daccounts as Google has over 1.5 users around the globe, reported by Express.co.uk.

As
reported by Express, Will Geddes, CEO of International Corporate Protection Group, spoke to talkRADIO on Monday where he warned that Gmail might have been hacked. And if it’s true then he further claimed that the “sky is the limit” for hackers who were able to compromise the service.
