Iran internet disruption drains $1.56 million hourly from economy, analyst says

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Iran is losing an estimated $1.56 million every hour because of its state-imposed internet blackout, draining its struggling economy and disrupting life for more than 90 million people, according to an internet privacy analyst.

The prolonged disruptions originated amid spiraling protests through January with losses he claimed were continuing even after partial connectivity was restored.

“The current blackout is costing Iran an estimated $37.4 million per day, or $1.56 million every hour,” Simon Migliano, head of research at PrivacyCo, told Fox News Digital. “The full internet blackout itself cost Iran more than $780 million, and the subsequent strict filtering continues to have a significant additional economic impact.”

“Iran has already drained $215 million from its economy in 2025 by disrupting internet access,” the internet privacy and security analyst added.

Migliano said his estimates were calculated using the NetBlocks COST tool, an economic model that measures the immediate impact on a nation’s gross domestic product when its digital economy is forced offline.

The model assesses direct losses to productivity, online transactions and remote work, drawing on data from the World Bank, the International Telecommunication Union, Eurostat and the U.S. Census Bureau.

Iranian authorities abruptly cut off communications on the night of Jan. 8 amid widespread protests against the clerical regime.

While officials later restored much of the country’s domestic bandwidth, as well as local and international phone calls and SMS messaging, the population is largely unable to freely access the internet because of heavy state filtering.

“The recent 579% surge in VPN demand reflects a scramble for digital survival,” Migliano said before describing how even when access is briefly restored, the internet remains “heavily censored and effectively unusable without circumvention tools such as VPNs.”

“We can see spikes showing that as soon as connectivity returned, users immediately sought VPNs to reach sites and services outside the state-controlled network, including global platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram that remain otherwise inaccessible,” he added.

“Sustained demand — averaging 427% above normal levels — indicates Iranians are stockpiling circumvention tools in anticipation of further blackouts,” Migliano said.

“The usual strategy is to download as many free tools as possible and cycle between them. It becomes a cat-and-mouse game, as the government blocks individual VPN servers and providers rotate IP addresses to stay ahead of the censors,” he added.

Iran’s minister of information and communications technology, Sattar Hashemi, acknowledged the economic toll caused by the blackout tactics.

He said recent outages were inflicting roughly “5,000 billion rials” a day in losses to the digital economy and nearly 50 trillion rials on the wider economy, according to Iran International.

“Iran’s three-week internet blackout may have been lifted, but connectivity remains severely disrupted still,” Migliano claimed.

“Access is still heavily filtered. It is restricted to a government-approved ‘whitelist’ of sites and apps and the connection itself remains highly unstable throughout the day,” he added.

Most Parked Domains Now Serving Malicious Content

Raj Bhat

Direct navigation — the act of visiting a website by manually typing a domain name in a web browser — has never been riskier: A new study finds the vast majority of “parked” domains — mostly expired or dormant domain names, or common misspellings of popular websites — are now configured to redirect visitors to sites that foist scams and malware.

A lookalike domain to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center website, returned a non-threatening parking page (left) whereas a mobile user was instantly directed to deceptive content in October 2025 (right). Image: Infoblox.

When Internet users try to visit expired domain names or accidentally navigate to a lookalike “typosquatting” domain, they are typically brought to a placeholder page at a domain parking company that tries to monetize the wayward traffic by displaying links to a number of third-party websites that have paid to have their links shown.

A decade ago, ending up at one of these parked domains came with a relatively small chance of being redirected to a malicious destination: In 2014, researchers found (PDF) that parked domains redirected users to malicious sites less than five percent of the time — regardless of whether the visitor clicked on any links at the parked page.

But in a series of experiments over the past few months, researchers at the security firm Infoblox say they discovered the situation is now reversed, and that malicious content is by far the norm now for parked websites.

“In large scale experiments, we found that over 90% of the time, visitors to a parked domain would be directed to illegal content, scams, scareware and anti-virus software subscriptions, or malware, as the ‘click’ was sold from the parking company to advertisers, who often resold that traffic to yet another party,” Infoblox researchers wrote in a paper published today.

Infoblox found parked websites are benign if the visitor arrives at the site using a virtual private network (VPN), or else via a non-residential Internet address. For example, Scotiabank.com customers who accidentally mistype the domain as scotaibank[.]com will see a normal parking page if they’re using a VPN, but will be redirected to a site that tries to foist scams, malware or other unwanted content if coming from a residential IP address. Again, this redirect happens just by visiting the misspelled domain with a mobile device or desktop computer that is using a residential IP address.

According to Infoblox, the person or entity that owns scotaibank[.]com has a portfolio of nearly 3,000 lookalike domains, including gmai[.]com, which demonstrably has been configured with its own mail server for accepting incoming email messages. Meaning, if you send an email to a Gmail user and accidentally omit the “l” from “gmail.com,” that missive doesn’t just disappear into the ether or produce a bounce reply: It goes straight to these scammers. The report notices this domain also has been leveraged in multiple recent business email compromise campaigns, using a lure indicating a failed payment with trojan malware attached.

Infoblox found this particular domain holder (betrayed by a common DNS server — torresdns[.]com) has set up typosquatting domains targeting dozens of top Internet destinations, including Craigslist, YouTube, Google, Wikipedia, Netflix, TripAdvisor, Yahoo, eBay, and Microsoft. A defanged list of these typosquatting domains is available here (the dots in the listed domains have been replaced with commas).

David Brunsdon, a threat researcher at Infoblox, said the parked pages send visitors through a chain of redirects, all while profiling the visitor’s system using IP geolocation, device fingerprinting, and cookies to determine where to redirect domain visitors.

“It was often a chain of redirects — one or two domains outside the parking company — before threat arrives,” Brunsdon said. “Each time in the handoff the device is profiled again and again, before being passed off to a malicious domain or else a decoy page like Amazon.com or Alibaba.com if they decide it’s not worth targeting.”

Brunsdon said domain parking services claim the search results they return on parked pages are designed to be relevant to their parked domains, but that almost none of this displayed content was related to the lookalike domain names they tested.

Infoblox said a different threat actor who owns domaincntrol[.]com — a domain that differs from GoDaddy’s name servers by a single character — has long taken advantage of typos in DNS configurations to drive users to malicious websites. In recent months, however, Infoblox discovered the malicious redirect only happens when the query for the misconfigured domain comes from a visitor who is using Cloudflare’s DNS resolvers (1.1.1.1), and that all other visitors will get a page that refuses to load.

The researchers found that even variations on well-known government domains are being targeted by malicious ad networks.

“When one of our researchers tried to report a crime to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), they accidentally visited ic3[.]org instead of ic3[.]gov,” the report notes. “Their phone was quickly redirected to a false ‘Drive Subscription Expired’ page. They were lucky to receive a scam; based on what we’ve learnt, they could just as easily receive an information stealer or trojan malware.”

The Infoblox report emphasizes that the malicious activity they tracked is not attributed to any known party, noting that the domain parking or advertising platforms named in the study were not implicated in the malvertising they documented.

However, the report concludes that while the parking companies claim to only work with top advertisers, the traffic to these domains was frequently sold to affiliate networks, who often resold the traffic to the point where the final advertiser had no business relationship with the parking companies.

Infoblox also pointed out that recent policy changes by Google may have inadvertently increased the risk to users from direct search abuse. Brunsdon said Google Adsense previously defaulted to allowing their ads to be placed on parked pages, but that in early 2025 Google implemented a default setting that had their customers opt-out by default on presenting ads on parked domains — requiring the person running the ad to voluntarily go into their settings and turn on parking as a location.

Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,441 | Russia-Ukraine war News

These are the key developments from day 1,441 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Published On 4 Feb 2026

Here is where things stand on Wednesday, February 4:

Fighting

  • At least two teenagers were killed, and nine other people were injured following a Russian strike targeting the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, regional Governor Ivan Fedorov wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
  • A 24-hour air raid alert was issued in the Zaporizhia region following the attack, which damaged four high-rise apartment buildings.
  • Three people were killed in Ukrainian shelling of the Moscow-occupied southern Ukrainian town of Nova Kakhovka, in the Kherson region, Kremlin-installed authorities said.
  • Russia launched an overnight attack described as the “most powerful” this year on Ukraine’s battered energy facilities, officials in Kyiv said, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without heating amid glacial winter temperatures and in advance of talks to end the four-year war.

  • The latest Russian operation against Ukraine’s energy sector was the biggest since the start of 2026, Ukraine’s leading private energy company DTEK said on Telegram.

  • A power plant in Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv was also badly damaged in the Russian attack, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. The attack on Kharkiv also injured at least five people, according to officials.

  • Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Russia deployed 450 attack drones and more than 60 missiles during the onslaught and accused Moscow of waiting for temperatures to drop before carrying out the strikes.

  • A power plant in Kyiv’s eastern Darnytskyi district was seriously damaged in the Russian attack, Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Telegram, prompting officials to redirect resources to restoring heating to thousands of residents in the city.

  • At least 1,142 high-rise apartment blocks have been left without heating in the Ukrainian capital following the Russian attacks, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba said.

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of launching “a deliberate attack against energy infrastructure”, which he said involved “a record number of ballistic missiles”.
  • Zelenskyy also said that Russia had exploited the recent brief United States-backed truce on attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure to stockpile weapons, which had been used in the latest attacks. The latest Russian strikes came a day before the next scheduled trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
  • Part of the gigantic Motherland monument in Kyiv, an iconic Soviet-era World War II memorial featuring a woman holding a sword and a shield, was damaged during the latest Russian attack, with Ukrainian Culture Minister Tetyana Berezhna describing the damage inflicted as “both symbolic and cynical”.

  • In remarks following the Tuesday attacks, US President Donald Trump defended Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that he “kept his word” and had stuck to a short-term deal halting strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure until Sunday.
  • Trump’s spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, had said earlier that the US president was not surprised by the attacks.
  • NATO chief Mark Rutte, during a visit to Kyiv on Tuesday, said that Russia’s overnight attacks did not suggest Moscow was serious about making peace.

Military aid

  • Sweden and Denmark will jointly procure and supply Ukraine with air defence systems worth 2.6 billion Swedish crowns ($290m) to help it defend against Russian attacks, Swedish Defence Minister Pal Jonson and his Danish counterpart, Troels Lund Poulsen, announced.

Politics and diplomacy

  • Ukraine has agreed with Western partners that any persistent Russian violations of a future ceasefire agreement would trigger a coordinated military response from Europe and the US, the Financial Times reported, citing people briefed on the discussions.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron said he was preparing to resume dialogue with Putin nearly four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but he stressed that Moscow was not showing any “real willingness” to negotiate a ceasefire.

  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to Trump and discussed the situation in Ukraine, including the overnight Russian attacks on the country, the United Kingdom government said.

  • Reaching a peace deal to end Russia’s war will require tough choices, NATO’s Rutte said in an address to Ukraine’s parliament during his Kyiv visit.

Economy

  • The Kremlin said it had heard no statements from India about halting purchases of sanctioned Russian oil after Trump announced that New Delhi had agreed to stop such purchases as part of a trade accord with Washington.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was carefully analysing Trump’s remarks on the trade deal with India. He added that despite the recent announcement, Moscow intends “to further develop our bilateral relations with Delhi”.
  • Russia’s economy grew by 1 percent in 2025, Putin said, marking a much slower expansion compared with the 2024 figure, as the country stutters under the burden of its war on Ukraine and international sanctions. Putin acknowledged during a government meeting that growth is “lower” than the two previous years.

Sport

  • Russia welcomed remarks by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who said he wanted Russia’s four-year ban from international football tournaments lifted because it had “achieved nothing”, Peskov said, describing Infantino’s comments as “very good”.
  • Ukrainian Sports Minister Matvii Bidnyi called Infantino’s comments “irresponsible” and “infantile”, noting that Russia’s invasion had killed more than 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches.
  • Ukrainian athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych said the International Olympic Committee’s allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutrals, despite their links to occupied territories or expressions of support for Moscow’s war on Ukraine, undermined the principle of neutrality. He said he intends to use the Winter Olympic Games to draw attention to the war in Ukraine.

Trump debuts new ‘America Is Back!’ hat at White House bill signing event

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A new slogan and accompanying red hat made its debut at the White House on Tuesday as President Donald Trump signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, reopening the federal government with a room full of Republican lawmakers in attendance.

The hat, bearing the phrase “America Is Back!” sat on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office during the bill-signing ceremony, as House Speaker Mike Johnson praised the message while standing alongside the president.

“This is good for the country, and America is back,” said Johnson, who added that the hat was “appropriate” and “the right slogan.”

Trump confirmed the item’s novelty during the signing event, looking toward the hat held in Johnson’s hands. 

“It’s a new hat,” Trump said. “[It] just came out. America is back.”

Trump noticed CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in the press pool and quipped, “Look, CNN is thrilled [about the hat]. Look at her. She never smiles. I’d never see her [smile]. But someday I’ll see her smile.”

‘OPENING PANDORA’S BOX’: MIKE JOHNSON BACKS TRUMP AFTER WARNING WHITE HOUSE ABOUT DEAL WITH DEMOCRATS

While the event focused on passage of the sweeping government funding package, the hat quickly became a visual focal point. As of Tuesday afternoon, however, the “America Is Back!” hat had not yet appeared for sale on the Trump Store official site, which currently features other Trump-branded merchandise, including MAGA hats.

Johnson’s remarks came as Republicans sought to champion the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) after days of uncertainty, with Johnson standing behind Trump as the president signed the bill reopening the government.

The CAA signed Tuesday funds most federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year, though separate negotiations remain ongoing over longer-term funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump later argued that the new phrase does not replace his longtime political slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

“We’ll never forget MAGA,” he said. “But I thought this was very appropriate.” Sen. Barasso, R-Wyo., added, “Love it.”

It is unclear when or if the “America Is Back” hat will be made available for purchase in the Trump online store.

Steve Smith PSL: Had insulted Babar Azam, now Steve Smith will play in PSL, forced to withdraw from IPL-T20 World Cup

Last Updated:

Steve Smith PSL News: After being dropped from the T20 World Cup team after IPL 2026, Australia’s legendary batsman Steve Smith has decided to play in the Pakistan Super League. He has been signed by Sialkot Stallions for the 11th season.

New Delhi. After not being selected in Australia’s T20 World Cup team, veteran batsman Steve Smith has been forced to play in the Pakistan Super League. Smith has been signed by the new PSL team Sialkot Stallions before the 11th season of the league. This former Australian captain was disappointed in the mini auction of IPL 2025, when no team showed any interest in buying him even at the base price. Smith created a stir with his stormy batting for Sydney Sixers in the recently concluded Big Bash League.

Smith has been included in the team under direct signing. This could happen because of the new rule of Pakistan Super League, under which now every franchise can directly sign a player outside the draft. Sialkot Stallions is one of the two new teams of PSL. The number of this league has been increased to eight for the 2026 season. The second new team has been included from Hyderabad, Sindh. 36 year old Smith will now be seen playing in PSL for the first time. Sialkot Stallions officially announced his signing on Tuesday.

Steve Smith scored a lot of runs in the Big Bash League.

Smith’s bat spoke in Big Bash League
Smith performed brilliantly in the Big Bash League. Playing for Sydney Sixers in BBL 2025-26, Smith scored 299 runs in just 6 matches. During this period his strike rate was 167.97 and average was 59.80. He scored a century and two half-centuries and played an important role in taking the team to the final. Despite such good performance, Smith did not get a place in Australia’s 2026 T20 World Cup team. He last played a T20 match for Australia in February 2024. Since then he is out of the team in this format. So far, Smith has scored 1094 runs in 67 T20 matches for Australia, his strike rate has been 125.45. He was also a part of Australia’s 2021 T20 World Cup winning team.

Babar Azam was insulted
Babar Azam was a part of Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League 2025-26. Smith also played for this team. During a match, Smith had denied Babar Azam a single on the last ball of the over, because Babar was batting very slowly. In the next over, Smith hit sixes. Babar Azam looked angry after taking Smith’s single. Babar was out soon, after which his anger was clearly visible. When his bat was seen hitting the boundary rope.

VS Code for Linux may be secretly hoarding trashed files • The Register

VS Code for Linux may be secretly hoarding trashed files • The Register

Linux users who installed Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code as a Snap package may want to check to see whether files they sent to the trash with the app have actually been deleted.

A handful of Linux-based developers have found large amounts of supposedly deleted data on their computers, in some cases consuming hundreds of gigabytes of storage.

The reason for this is Snap – a Linux application packaging format – creates a local Trash folder for each VS Code version, one that’s separate from the system-managed Trash, according to a VS Code bug report dating back to November 11, 2024.

Not only that, but Snap keeps older versions of VS Code after updates, potentially multiplying the number of local Trash folders and the trashed-but-not-deleted files therein. Emptying the system Trash folder doesn’t affect the local instances.

Neither VS Code nor Snap offers a way to manage these local trash folders, though this can be achieved with the command line.

The root cause of the mess, according to a Microsoft engineer, is an unfixed VSCode change from October 11, 2024, that sets the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable equal to $SNAP_USER_DATA/.local/share.

“This creates a bogus Trash that’s not the system one, and as such is unmanageable (and is carried over from update to update, gradually inflating),” the bug report explains.

The bug may also cause issues beyond unexpected file retention, including messing up fish terminal history, interfering with uv Python installations, and Jupyter Notebook problems, among others.

Robotics engineer Iván López Broceño reports finding almost 200 GB of files that he believed he deleted.

Web developer Chris Hayes said in the discussion thread that he found 44 GB of files in Snap’s local Trash folder dating back two years.

Asked whether it’s unusual for a bug like this to linger unfixed for more than a year, Hayes via email replied, “I’d say this is unusual when the risk is that the user can totally run out of space on their machine. In fact, that’s how I first discovered it. I was running out of space, I pulled open Ubuntu’s ‘Disk Usage’ and was pretty confused by how much space the VS Code snap was using.”

Hayes, however, said he could understand how a bug like this might get lost in a massive repo like VS Code, which has 12,000+ open issues.

He added that the number of Linux VSCode users using Snap is probably not all that small. Snap, he said, the default for the Ubuntu App Store, though the default for VS Code is .deb for Linux users rather than Snap.

“I feel like a lot of people don’t know about this because either they haven’t run out of space or they didn’t dig into their disk space usage,” he said.

“The only other thing I’d add is running out of space on Linux can do some weird stuff, since Linux is so dependent on files for running everything. So, while this isn’t a security vulnerability, it feels like it’s getting lost in the sauce for something that can very much break your Linux machine. Not too long ago I was booting into a USB Linux to restore a corrupted file system on my desktop, it was probably for unrelated reasons, but it can definitely be a problem.” ®

Albanese government to sell off $3bn worth of historic defence sites amid push to free up space for new homes | Richard Marles

The federal government will sell off $3bn in defence properties around the country, after a major audit of land holdings found they served no useful strategic value.

Defence sites – including Victoria Barracks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane – will be sold after the multi-year audit, tasked with identifying surplus and costly property holdings, often costing millions to maintain.

Some could be used for new housing developments, after sales managed by the department of finance.

Public servants will be relocated to modern office spaces, while some heritage sites – including the cabinet rooms used by John Curtin at the height of the second world war in Melbourne – could be opened to the public.

The defence minister, Richard Marles, released the audit of the 3 million-hectare defence estate on Wednesday, agreeing to recommendations to sell more than 60 properties, including islands on Sydney Harbour and a major munitions site at Maribyrnong, in Melbourne’s west. A longtime target for remediation, it could fit 6,000 new homes.

Golf courses, airbases, warehouses, training facilities and vacant land are all earmarked for sell-off, as well as RAAF Base Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains, used as the headquarters for the Royal Australian Air Force’s command.

After relocation costs and other expenses, net proceeds of about $1.8bn are expected. About $100m a year is expected to be saved from upkeep of disused and run-down properties.

Up to $2.4bn is expected to be raised from the sale of 26 major metropolitan sites, saving about $3bn in upkeep and security costs over 10 years. These include sites in Sydney’s Randwick, Sandringham and St Kilda in Melbourne, Brisbane’s Petrie Terrace, and Fremantle in Western Australia.

Labor is expected to face a backlash over the sell-off of property central to the country’s defence history. The audit was completed in 2023.

The Victoria Barracks sales are expected to raise $1.3bn, given their prime locations in the biggest capital cities. Redevelopment opportunities are expected to be limited by heritage rules.

Spectacle Island in Sydney Harbour, used to store munitions during the first and second world wars, will be sold, after costing taxpayers about $1m a year to maintain. HMAS Penguin at Balmoral will be partly retained for a defence diving facility.

Air force base Williams at Laverton in Victoria and the Warradale Barracks in South Australia will also be partially sold off, while Labor has decided against recommendations to sell the Pittwater annexe in Sydney.

Marles said every dollar raised would be reinvested back into defence capability, including ahead of major changes sparked by the Aukus nuclear submarines agreement.

“In order for the Australian defence force to protect our nation and keep Australians safe, it must have a defence estate that meets its operational and capability needs,” he said.

“For many years this has not been the case, with many defence sites vacant, decaying, under utilised and costing millions of dollars to maintain.”

Marles said the objective of the audit was not about identifying land for new housing development, but some sites including Maribyrnong could be suitable.

The audit found underutilised sites are “draining resources from higher priority needs” for defence.

“Defence is constrained by the weight of its past when it comes to management of the estate,” it said.

“Today’s estate footprint comprises numerous legacy sites without a clear ongoing link to current or future capabilities. Urgent interventions are needed to correct the unsustainable trajectory that has resulted from decades of deferred decisions on contentious estate issues.”

Authors Jan Mason and Jim Miller said the management of major defence sites had “remained largely static since the late 1990s despite recommendations from past reviews and white papers.”

“It is clear that maintaining the status quo is not an option.”

Housing Now Alliance chair David Bolger welcomed plans for land sales in inner Sydney and Parramatta.

“This is about giving some of our most significant historic sites a new chapter,” he said.

“By sensitively opening these places up, we honour the service and sacrifice they represent, while ensuring they continue to serve the nation in a contemporary way.”

Trump vows to call NBC’s Savannah Guthrie following mother’s disappearance

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump vowed on Tuesday to personally call NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie and offer additional federal assistance following her mother’s apparent abduction in Tuscon, Arizona.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, and was reported missing by her family around noon Sunday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.

While officials did not immediately elaborate on the circumstances of her disappearance, they said they believe Nancy Guthrie was either kidnapped or abducted, and noted blood was found outside the home.

During a Q&A session in the White House Oval Office Tuesday, Trump said he is considering sending additional federal agents to assist with the investigation.

“I think it’s terrible,” Trump said. “I’m going to call [Savannah Guthrie] later on. I think it’s a terrible thing. … Very unusual situation, but we’re going to find out.”

Despite the pair’s showdown in an October 2020 NBC town hall, Trump added, “I always got along very good with Savannah.”

During the Miami town hall, Savannah Guthrie pressed Trump on his administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and his social media reposts questioning Osama bin Laden’s death.

At one point, she accused Trump of “sending a lie” to his followers, comparing him to “someone’s crazy uncle.”

While the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI continue to investigate Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, officials on Tuesday confirmed they are “aware” of reports of a possible ransom note.

“We are aware of reports circulating about possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement Tuesday afternoon. “Anything that comes in, goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.”

News outlets TMZ and KOLD 13 News announced on Tuesday they received unverified ransom notes demanding money for Nancy Guthrie’s return.

The note received by TMZ reportedly demanded millions in Bitcoin cryptocurrency, with the outlet verifying the Bitcoin address was “real.” 

TMZ said the letter, which was sent to authorities, included unreleased details about her disappearance and had a deadline.
