Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Baghdad, comprehensive foreign news report on the 25th) A senior Iraqi oil ministry official told Reuters today that if the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cannot significantly increase Iraq’s oil production quota, Iraq will be forced to consider all possible options, including withdrawing from the organization. Reuters exclusively disclosed that another source said that Iraqi officials had considered withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, but the current plan is to remain in the organization and strive for higher quotas. After the United Arab Emirates withdrew from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries this year, if Iraq also chose to withdraw, it would be a further blow to the organization. Iraq is one of the five founding members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which was established in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. The Iraqi official pointed out that Iraq has fallen into a severe financial crisis due to the war in the Middle East. It is imperative to significantly increase its oil production quota and relevant demands must be taken seriously. OPEC has not yet responded to Reuters’ inquiries. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Partners (OPEC+) is composed of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied oil-producing countries including Russia.

(Picture taken from Pixabay Gallery) (Central News Agency, Washington, 17th, comprehensive foreign news reports) Security researchers said that a large-scale hacking attack targeting the firewall device Fortinet has penetrated well-known organizations around the world. Evidence shows that passwords have been stolen from Fortune 500 companies (Fortune 500) and government agencies in more than 15 countries. Hudson Rock, which tracks cyber threats, said most of the affected devices were in the United States, India and Taiwan and that the scale of the espionage operation was “staggering.” Hudson Rock said that approximately 75,000 Fortinet firewalls and VPNs were compromised, and it is possible that hackers could further penetrate into these devices and steal data. VPNs are tools used by businesses to protect their networks and allow employees to log in from remote locations. Fortinet stated in a statement that hackers are known to have targeted Fortinet firewalls and VPN devices to steal account passwords. Hackers use information obtained from “past events” to continuously try to crack passwords, a so-called “brute force attack” to invade the target network or device. Fortinet did not immediately respond to Reuters’ inquiries about the scope of the attack disclosed by the researchers. In addition, Reuters was unable to confirm how many passwords were stolen and the company was actually compromised. Reuters pointed out that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the White House National Security Agency have not responded to emails. Security officials in India and Taiwan have yet to respond. Experts pointed out that the code in the leaked data was written in Russian, indicating that the operation may have been carried out by Russian cybercriminal groups.
