This office was running 49 million fake accounts until police raided it Inside they found 1,200 SIM box devices and 40,000 active SIM cards connected to 80+ countries The setup was used to create 49 million fake accounts for phishing, bank fraud, extortion, and human smuggling networks across Europe A single SIM box can register thousands of fake WhatsApp, Telegram, and banking accounts per day Police seized four luxury cars, froze $500K in bank accounts and $310K in crypto 7 people were running the entire operation

I am sure many of you have noticed this.

NOAA GOES-East captured horizontal convective rolls—long parallel cumulus bands. Known as “cloud streets,” they form when cold, dry air flows over warmer water, gaining heat/moisture to create wind-aligned cloud rows.

This is just one of countless unethical ways money is made online. This video shows a poker bot farm. Multiple bots sit at the same table and share their cards in real time. Because they know each other’s cards, they never bluff or trap each other. They only bet aggressively when the human is statistically behind, and fold otherwise. A single bot farm like this can make more than the house!!

Time to scroll around the most beautiful map ever made: the 1739 "Plan de Turgot," commissioned by the chief merchant of Paris. Every mark was originally engraved into brass plates and the detail is insane, like examining an 8x10 ft. banknote.

BREAKING: An incredible "gigantic jet" – an extremely-rare type of upper-atmospheric lightning – was photographed from the International Space Station on Friday morning. This is the clearest photo we have EVER seen of a gigantic jet from above. Nichole Rhea Ayers is a major in the U.S. Air Force and a NASA astronaut. She launched to the International Space Station as a pilot of the SpaceX Crew-10 mission on March 14, and will be returning to Earth soon. On Thursday morning, July3, she captured an unbelievable photo of an ultra-rare GIANT JET. The International Space Station was over Mexico and the southern U.S. at the time. It looks like the instigating thunderstorm was happening somewhere near Sabinas in Coahuila, Mexico around 1:30 a.m. Central time Thursday. Gigantic jets are a subset of “blue jets,” which themselves are a type of TLE — or transient luminous event, often referred to as “upper-atmospheric lightning.” There are different types of TLEs, including red “sprites,” green “elves” and blue jets. Blue jets are the rarest. Elves and sprites occur high above thunderstorms, but jets bridge a key gap between a thunderstorm and the stratosphere high above. Sometimes they even reach up to the base of the mesosphere — the height at which meteors burn up! They begin as a cloud-to-air discharge that emanates out the top of thunderstorms, but immediately grow to MASSIVE sizes — up to 30 miles tall! They shoot upwards at speeds of 6 to 90 miles PER SECOND, but only last two or three tenths of a second. They are bright blue (almost like a neon sign, since they are plasma after all). The blue color is believed to stem from “excited” nitrogen. It’s believed that blue jets start as an ordinary lightning strike in the top of thunderclouds, where abundant positive charge is present. Sometimes there’s a negative charge in the clear air above. Instead of the negative charge flowing down to balance out the positive, sometimes the positive shoots upwards into the clear negative skies above. The result? A positive discharge that propagates upwards. Gigantic jets are even more spectacular. Emerging research suggests they begin as a discharge between negative charge in the mid-levels of the cloud and the positive tops of clouds. That leads to a *negative* “leader” of electricity that shoots upwards and escapes the cloud before it can actually discharge and “balance out” charge within the cloud. You can tell this one was a “gigantic jet” because of the reddish tops that resembles the stem of a carrot. That’s a sign the gigantic jet reached even higher altitudes — perhaps 50 to 60 miles above the ground. Atmospheric electrodynamicists (the fancy term for folks who study lightning) are learning about all sorts of never before-discovered lightning discharges. Most of what we know comes from photos like this! In recent years, scientists have coined new terms for curious, fleeting discharges — “trolls”, “pixies”, “ghosts” and “gnomes”. The existence of upper-atmospheric wasn’t known until July 6, 1989, when a researcher named R.C. Franz left a camera running overnight to capture the night sky. For decades, pilots had reported seeing strange red and blue flashes above thunderstorms, but it wasn’t until Franz obtained photographic evidence that scientists were able to delve deeper into the mystery. Nowadays, most of what we know comes from photographers who happen to get lucky — especially since the flashes usually last only a couple milliseconds. Ayers’ photo is truly a one-of-a-kind capture that will hopefully shed more light on how TLEs behave.

NEW: Florida doctor performs prostate surgery on a man 7000 miles away, a first of its kind. This is so cool. Fernando da Silva, a man who lives in Angola, Africa, received surgery from Orlando based Dr. Vipul Patel and help from robotics. Da Silva was diagnosed with prostate cancer three months ago. He has now become the first patient of the new human clinical trial which was approved by the FDA, as noted by ABC 7. “We've been working on this really for two years. We traveled the globe, looking at the right technologies,” said Patel to ABC 7. “I think the humanitarian implications are enormous. Internationally, obviously, there's so many underserved areas of the world.” “We made sure we had plan A, B, C, and D. I always have my team where the patient is in case something happened with the telecommunications… the team would just take over and finish the case and do it safely.”
