Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Researchers have found evidence suggesting the United States may have developed three previously unknown computer viruses for use in cyber warfare.
Anti-virus software makers Symantec of the US and Kaspersky Lab of Russia say about a dozen computers in Iran and Lebanon are infected. The researchers say the malware fits the profile of military operations.
The US has already been linked to the Stuxnet Trojan that attacked Iran's nuclear programme in 2010 and the Flame cyber surveillance tool that was uncovered in May.
