A number of important and valuable exhibitions have been stolen in a museum heist in South Shields. Sometime between 10am on Monday, August 26, and 12pm on Tuesday, August 27, unknown offenders had forced entry into a Perspex display cabinet at South Shields Museum and Art Gallery and taken four gold items. Police were called to the scene shortly after Tuesday, August 27, police received a report of theft at the premises.
The items taken include:
A cap badge from the British Electric Traction Company, Jarrow Tramways. It is a gilded colour with the appearance of a horseshoe and a wheel combined in the centre of the badge.
An investigation has been launched in a bid to recover the items and identify those involved – with police appealing to the public for anyone with information to come forward. Officers are especially keen to anyone who visited the museum on Monday, August 26, or Tuesday, August 27, and might have noticed any suspicious activity. Geoff Woodward, Museum Manager, said: “These artefacts have great significance for the local history of South Tyneside. They are irreplaceable because of their provenance and local significance. “The theft of these items will deny the public visiting the museum a chance to enjoy them both now and, in the future. We would urge anyone with information to get in touch with police.” Anyone with information, including if they have knowledge of the items appearing in pawn shops and online, should contact Northumbria Police by sending a direct message on social media, or using live chat and report forms on the Force’s website.

On Sept. 17, CISA and FBI released a Secure by Design Alert, Eliminating Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities, as a part of their ongoing effort to reduce the prevalence of vulnerability classes at scale. Vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS) continue to appear in software, enabling threat actors to exploit them. However, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities are preventable and should not be present in software products.
CISA and FBI urge CEOs and other business leaders at technology manufacturers to direct their technical leaders/teams to review past instances of these defects and create a strategic plan to prevent them in the future.
On Sept. 12, as part of their public service announcement (PSA) series to put potential election day cyber related disruptions during the 2024 election cycle into context for the American people, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and CISA jointly issued the Just So You Know: False Claims of Hacked Voter Information Likely Intended to Sow Distrust of U.S. Elections PSA to raise awareness of attempts to undermine public confidence in the security of U.S. election infrastructure through the spread of disinformation falsely claiming that cyberattacks compromised U.S. voter registration databases.
CISA has released an analysis and infographic detailing the findings from the 143 Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) conducted across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in fiscal year 2023 (FY23).
The analysis details a sample attack path including tactics and steps a cyber threat actor could follow to compromise an organization with weaknesses representative of those CISA observed in FY23 RVAs. The infographic highlights the most successful techniques for each tactic that RVAs documented. Both the analysis and infographic map threat actor behavior to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework.
The National Operational Center of Excellence (NOCoE), supported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, September 25 at 1:30 p.m. EDT as part of its Talking TIM webinar series. This webinar will feature information on an innovative tool and system for safer, quicker incident clearance on roadways from practitioners within the fire and transportation disciplines:
All webinars in the Talking TIM series pertain to traffic incident management (TIM), with a focus on successful programs, best practices, and technology that advances the profession of TIM. Topics covered in this webinar series are often relevant to anyone with a role in emergency dispatch, emergency medical response to traffic incidents, emergency traffic management, or anyone with an interest in ensuring first responder safety on roadways. Webinars are typically held on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Those interested in attending the September 25 webinar can register by going to NOCoE’s Zoom registration page for the Talking TIM series and selecting the September 25 date in the registration form. You can also view recordings of past webinars in the series and sign up for updates, so you can be alerted via email when upcoming webinars are announced.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has partnered with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), and Big City Emergency Managers (BCEM) to conduct the Emergency Management Organizational Structures, Staffing, and Capacity Study. This study aims to provide insight on how state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies and organizations are structured and staffed, where they get their funding, and how staff time is focused across the spectrum of emergency management activities. Key insights about the capacity and challenges facing emergency management agencies across the nation will help FEMA, IAEM, NEMA, BCEM, and others identify strategies to better support emergency management efforts and increase community resilience. To accomplish the first part of this study, IAEM will be launching four surveys—state, local, tribal, and territorial. The state, local, and territorial surveys are now available. A tribal-specific survey will be available in the coming weeks. If you are the chief emergency management official of a local jurisdiction such as a municipality or county and did not receive an email from IAEM or your state director with a link to the Local Emergency Management Capacity Survey, please complete the Local Emergency Management Capacity Study - Contact Information Form. The study will include elicitation sessions to collect qualitative information and follow-up on survey responses, as well as a review of existing research and data from FEMA, emergency management associations, and other publicly available materials. Argonne National Laboratory will be conducting the analysis.
