Two U.S. men have been charged with hacking into the #Ring home security cameras of a dozen random people and then "#swatting" them -- falsely reporting a violent incident at the target's address to trick local police into responding with force. Prosecutors say the duo used the compromised Ring devices to stream live video footage on social media of police raiding their targets' homes, and to taunt authorities when they arrived.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles allege 20-year-old James Thomas Andrew McCarty, a.k.a. “#Aspertaine,” of Charlotte, N.C., and Kya Christian Nelson, a.k.a. “#ChumLul,” 22, of Racine, Wisc., conspired to hack into Yahoo email accounts belonging to victims in the United States. From there, the two allegedly would check how many of those Yahoo accounts were associated with Ring accounts, and then target people who used the same password for both accounts.

Cassidy Hutchison learns about Alex Butterfield's role in Watergate. She reads the book he wrote with Woodward three times; his moral struggle becomes a cynosure for her going forward.
