With COVID-19 vaccination rates in the military somewhat below the national average, Secretary of Defense LLoyd Austin says he wants all members of the U.S. military to be vaccinated by mid-September.

The medal table provides a concise lesson in world history for the past century, reflecting wars won and lost, economic growth and decline, and a country's overall standing on the international stage.

In an NPR interview, William Burns says he has appointed a senior officer who led the hunt for Osama bin Laden to head the investigation into ailments that has afflicted U.S. officials worldwide.

The CIA and the military depend on each other in war zones like Afghanistan. Now that U.S. forces have pulled out almost entirely, the spy agency will have a harder time keeping tabs on the Taliban.

The recent ransomware attacks on U.S. industries have sparked renewed talk of an international cyber agreement that could set rules for what's permissible, and spell out sanctions for violators.

Donald Rumsfeld was the combative defense secretary under President George W. Bush, as the U.S. waged two of its longest and most controversial wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The U.S. government report is the most substantial public effort to date to address decades of speculation about UFOs and whether the government had a role in concealing information.

The president says the U.S. will respond if it keeps getting hit with cyber attacks linked to Russia. But Putin has shown little interest in combatting cyber crimes called 'ransomware-as-a-service.'

Recent cybersecurity attacks in the U.S. were traced to Russian groups, who likely are known to the Kremlin.

If you're planning a multi-million dollar ransomware attack, there's really only one way to collect - with cryptocurrency. It's fast. It's easy. Best of all, it's largely anonymous and hard to trace.

Russian spies have penetrated U.S. government computer networks. Russian criminals have hit the U.S. gasoline and meat supplies. Can the president figure out how to stop the non-stop intrusions?

JBS, the world's biggest meat-packing company, expects operations to be back near full capacity Thursday as it recovers from a ransomware attack. Groups with ties to Russia are blamed for the attack.

The meat processing company JBS expects most operations to be restored Wednesday after a ransomware attack. It's the latest major company being shut down by apparent Russian criminal hackers.

JBS, the world's largest meat processor, has been hit by hackers, threatening the firm's operations in the U.S. and Australia. The case illustrates the growing threat hackers pose to key industries.

The latest Israeli-Palestinian fighting did not resolve any of the core issues in the decades-old dispute. But it did reveal several new dynamics likely to influence the conflict in the coming years.

There was a time when the U.S. believed an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal was critical to U.S. policy in the Middle East. These days, the goals are far more modest.

President Biden and the Pentagon say that after U.S. forces leave Afghanistan they will still assist that country from afar. But what precisely does that mean and can it be effective?

Following a ransomware attack on a major U.S. pipeline, President Biden announced his broad plan to make both the U.S. government and private companies more secure against future cyber breaches.

The Biden administration says cybercriminals in Russia are suspected in a ransomware attack on a gas pipeline. Yet this hack is very different from another big intrusion blamed on Russia last year.

A petroleum pipeline stretching from Texas to New York remains shut due to a ransomware attack. President Biden is calling for new infrastructure, yet the attack shows the threat to existing systems.
