US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on 2026-09-02 that the US Justice Department is working with Elon Musk's X/Twitter to identify those behind an attempted password-recovery attack that targeted hundreds of thousands of users this week. ^[1] A new study found that young adults who reduced or stopped using social media experienced significant improvements in sleep quality and reductions in anxiety levels. ^[2] A Korean netizen posted photos on X showing a single person occupying a four-person table at a franchise cafe for four hours with two drinks and one cake. ^[3] A young woman accidentally livestreamed a compromising text conversation to her boyfriend's television while watching a movie because she forgot to disconnect her phone. ^[4] The study defines ragebait as online content intentionally designed to provoke anger or outrage to increase attention and engagement. ^[5] Japanese romance manga frequently features scenes where two characters go on a date and end up at an aquarium. ^[6] Blanche said in a statement on X that 'sophisticated cyber criminals' attempted the attack, but the platform was able to disrupt it. ^[7] The cyberattack on X comes days after the US Justice Department announced an operation targeting QTFY, a Chinese cyberespionage platform. ^[8] The US Justice Department said the US Senate, Federal Reserve, NASA, and other organizations were among those targeted by the QTFY cyberespionage platform. ^[9] During the trial, researchers monitored changes in sleep patterns, stress levels, and psychological well-being, with most participants reporting longer and deeper sleep. ^[10] Participants in the study were asked to drastically limit or stop using popular social media applications such as Instagram, TikTok, and X for a specific period. ^[11] The study revealed that reduced exposure to emotionally stimulating content, social comparison, and the fear of missing out (FOMO) were primary drivers of reduced anxiety, rather than just reduced blue light exposure. ^[12]
