A North Dakota man, Charles Dalzell, was charged after sending threatening emails to federal officials, referencing the recent shooting of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and claiming legal grievances and frustrations with public officials. The emails contained violent language and threats, leading to his arrest by the FBI.
Patients of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle have received threatening emails after a data breach last month, with the stolen data of over 800,000 patients allegedly being compromised. The center has taken its clinical network offline, notified law enforcement, and initiated an investigation. Patients are advised to monitor their bank statements and credit reports, report suspicious calls or emails to the FBI, block senders, and not pay any ransom demands.
