1 Jamie Dimon: America’s Strength in Small Business 34:28
The RedNote App’s Boom in the US, FBI Hacked Computers to Uninstall Malware, and Gaia Sky Scan Completed
Manage episode 461707331 series 3554250
We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!
In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore how RedNote, a Chinese social media platform, has become the unexpected refuge for TikTok users ahead of the January 19th ban, with over 700,000 new American users joining in just two days.
Next, we delve into a groundbreaking cybersecurity operation where the FBI, in partnership with French authorities and Sekoia.io, successfully removed dangerous PlugX malware from 4,258 U.S. computers. This sophisticated operation, conducted between August 2024 and January 2025, showcases how law enforcement turned the malware's own self-delete mechanism against itself to protect American digital infrastructure from Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
Finally, we celebrate a historic moment in astronomy as the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope concludes its revolutionary sky-scanning mission after 11 years. Having collected over three trillion observations of two billion celestial objects, Gaia's legacy will continue through two major data releases planned for 2026 and beyond, promising to reshape our understanding of the Milky Way galaxy.
