1. Treasury doubles long-bond buybacks but yields rebound
-- The Treasury's decision to at least double buybacks of longer-dated U.S. debt briefly lowered yields before much of the move reversed, Bloomberg reported.
-- The reversal suggests official demand is not enough to offset investor concern over the supply of government debt, leaving borrowing costs elevated across mortgages, corporate credit and other rate-sensitive markets.
2. Coordinated arson wave strikes 51 sites in southern Thailand
-- Fifty-one attacks damaged local government offices and vehicles across southern Thailand late Saturday, wounding three people; no group has claimed responsibility.
-- The geographic coordination points to an organized campaign capable of stretching regional security forces and disrupting public services even without mass casualties.
3. Apple sends spyware warnings to users in 110 countries
-- Apple customers in 110 countries recently received threat notifications warning that their devices may have been targeted with spyware, according to Citizen Lab.
-- The scale broadens the exposure beyond a narrow set of dissidents and officials, making rapid patching and device isolation urgent for journalists, activists and other high-risk users.
4. TikTok agrees to pay $400 million in child-privacy case
-- TikTok and ByteDance agreed to a $400 million settlement resolving U.S. Justice Department litigation over compliance with children's online privacy law.
-- The settlement increases legal exposure for platforms that collect or retain children's data and gives regulators a large financial benchmark for future privacy enforcement.
