  • Universities warn of IT attacks

    Last Friday, several Swedish websites were exposed to overload attacks.

    Several Swedish hospital websites were down and universities were also affected.

    Now the Linnaeus University goes out and warns its students on the internal education platform. “The extent is still unclear, intensive work is required to solve the problems,” the university writes on the platform.

    The group Anonymous Sudan has, via its Telegram channel, taken responsibility for the attacks, which they believe are revenge for the Koran burnings.

  • Cholera outbreak risks worsening the situation in Syria

    Even before the earthquake, Syria was struggling with a widespread cholera outbreak.

    When many people now need care after the earthquake, there is a concern that care will not be available because the hospitals and clinics are overcrowded, reports Echo.

    Johanna Lönn, health advisor for disaster response at the Swedish Red Cross, states on the ground in Syria that a cholera outbreak is the last thing the country needs.

    There is also a global shortage of vaccines to combat cholera.

    – Therefore, other measures become important to prevent spread and further outbreaks. It is about access to clean water and the ability to maintain good hygiene. These are needs that are difficult to meet when people are forced to flee and are forced to live in cramped spaces, says Johanna Lönn to Ekot.

    According to Reuters one of the construction contractors was arrested before he was about to board a flight to leave the country.

    Danish organic eggs contain high levels of toxic PFAS chemicals, Danish Food Agency warns, reports P4 Kalmar.

    The levels are high because of the fishmeal feed given to laying hens – which the eco-hens also get.

    Even in Sweden, fishmeal feed is used for eco-chickens. However, the chicken feed with fishmeal that is given to Swedish eco-chickens does not contain high levels of toxic chemicals, she believes.

    – We follow it with great interest, and have communication with the authorities, says Marie Lönneskog Hogstadius to the radio channel.
