Employees at both small companies and defense giants like Lockheed Martin Corp., Raytheon Co., Boeing Co., Airbus Group and General Atomics were targeted by the hackers. A handful of people in Fancy Bear’s sights also worked for trade groups, contractors in U.S.-al- lied countries or on corporate boards. Associated Press Casino mogul Wynn resigns amid sex misconduct claims LAS VEGAS — Facing investigations by gambling regulators and allegations of sex- ual misconduct, billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn has stepped down as chairman and CEO of the resorts bearing his names. The Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts in a statement said Wynn’s resignation Tuesday was effective immediately. It came less than two weeks after the Wall Street Journal reported that a number of women said Wynn harassed or assaulted them and that one case led to a $7.5 million settlement. “In the last couple of weeks, I have found myself the focus of an avalanche of negative publicity,” Wynn said in a written statement. “As I have reflected upon the environment this has created — one in which a rush to judgment takes precedence over everything else, including the facts — I have reached the conclusion I can- not continue to be effective in my current roles.” Wynn has vehemently denied the report’s allegations, which he attributes to a campaign led by his ex-wife. An attorney for Elaine Wynn has denied that she instigated the news report. Wynn now faces investigations by gambling regulators in Nevada and Massachusetts, where the company is building a roughly $2.4 billion casino just outside Boston. The company ear- lier said a committee of independent directors would investigate the allegations that surfaced Jan. 26. Wynn is a titan in Sin City and played a major role in the revitalization of the Las Vegas Strip in the 1990s. He built the Bellagio, Treasure Island and Mirage before he sold his Mirage Resorts company in 2000. Two years later, he founded Wynn Resorts, which now operates two luxuri- ous casino-resorts in the city and is in the pro- cess of building a lake and hotel development called Paradise Park on the site of a former golf course. New budget barrier: Pelosi opposes pact if no ‘Dreamer’ help WASHINGTON — The House’s top Demo- crat swung out against a bipartisan budget deal taking shape in the Senate today, splashing cold water on a two-year plan packed with almost $400 billion worth of additional funding for the Pentagon, domestic programs and disaster aid. That raises anew the possibility of a government shutdown at midnight Thursday. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of Cal- ifornia announced she would oppose the bud- get measure unless the chamber’s GOP lead- ers promised a vote on legislation to protect “Dreamer” immigrants who face deporta- tion after being brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Pelosi took to the House floor, promising to speak for hours, and said she would oppose that almost-completed budget pact even though it would boost funding for many domestic pri- orities favored by Democrats. She declared the agreement “does not have my support, nor does THE DAILY ASTORIAN Trump continues to paint immigrants as criminals Taiwan Presidential Office President Tsai Ing-wen, center back-facing, is briefed today at the site of a col- lapsed building from an earthquake in Hualien, southeastern Taiwan. 6 dead, 76 missing after strong quake hits Taiwan HUALIEN, Taiwan — Rescuers worked today to free people trapped after a strong earth- quake near Taiwan’s east coast caused several buildings to cave in and tilt dangerously. At least six people were killed and 76 could not be contacted following the quake. At least four midsized buildings in worst-hit Hualien county leaned at sharp angles, their lowest floors crushed into mangled heaps of concrete, glass, iron and other debris. Firefight- ers climbed ladders hoisted against windows to reach residents inside apartments. The shifting of the buildings after the magnitude 6.4 quake late Tuesday night was likely caused by soil liquefaction, when the ground beneath a building loses its solidity under stress such as that caused by an earthquake. Two employees of the hotel were killed in the disaster, CNA said. Taiwan’s National Fire Agency said rescuers freed another employee from the rubble. Other buildings slanted at alarming degrees and rescuers used ladders, ropes and cranes to move residents to safety. Six people were killed in the quake, while 256 others were injured and 76 unaccounted for, according to the fire agency. CNA reported that seven had been killed. The force of the tremor buckled roads and disrupted electricity and water supplies to thou- sands of households, the fire agency said. Rescuers focused on the Yunmen Tsuiti residential building that was tilted at a nearly 45-degree angle, erecting long steel beams to prevent it from collapsing. it have the support of a large number of mem- bers of our caucus.” She spoke as liberal activists protested that many Democrats were moving to leave Dreamer immigrants behind in grabbing the budget deal, a longstanding goal for the party. Pelosi said the House should debate immi- gration legislation and noted that Senate Repub- licans have slated a debate on the politically freighted subject starting next week. A possible government shutdown is now in the picture again. The House on Tuesday passed legislation to keep the government running through March 23, marrying a stopgap spending measure with a $659 billion Pentagon spending plan, but that measure is likely to be rewritten in the Senate. On the right, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., leader of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, also said he opposes the emerging bipartisan deal, which could be unveiled today.

What ultimately may have been stolen is uncertain, but the hackers clearly exploited a national vulnerability in cybersecurity: poorly protected email and barely any direct notifica- tion to victims. The hackers known as Fancy Bear, who also intruded in the U.S. election, went after at least 87 people working on militarized drones, mis- siles, rockets, stealth fighter jets, cloud-comput- SCHEDULE W EDNESDAY E VENING A Russian hackers hunt hi-tech secrets, exploiting US weakness A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is continuing his habit of painting immi- grants as criminals, highlighting gang connec- tions, calling family reunification a national security threat and bemoaning the death of a pro football player involved in a car accident with a man living in the country illegally. Speaking to law enforcement officials at the White House on Tuesday, Trump singled out the MS-13 gang, which is believed to be behind 25 killings on New York’s Long Island in the past two years, and has become a prime target of the Trump administration. “We’ve really never seen anything quite like this, the level of ferocity, the level of vio- lence, and the reforms we need from Congress to defeat it,” Trump told law enforcement offi- cials and lawmakers, eventually threaten- ing another federal government shutdown if Democrats don’t agree to pass an immigration package he said would help keep gang mem- bers out. “If we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country and continue to kill ... if we don’t change it, let’s have a shutdown,” Trump suggested. “I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of.” Trump’s latest threat is part of a pressure campaign he has been waging to try to get Democrats to sign onto a sweeping immigra- tion plan that they’ve rejected. The president wants billions for a southern border wall, major cuts to legal immigration, and more money for interior enforcement and other changes in exchange for granting a pathway to citizenship for up to 1.8 million young immigrants living in the country illegally. Pence says US to unveil ‘toughest’ sanctions on N. Korea TOKYO — Vice President Mike Pence said the U.S. is preparing to announce the “tough- est and most aggressive” economic sanctions against North Korea in the coming days, boost- ing pressure on the bellicose government during the Winter Olympics. Pence, who is set to lead the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremonies Fri- day, made the announcement in Japan today, following meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “The United States of America will soon unveil the toughest and most aggres- sive round of economic sanctions on North Korea ever — and we will continue to isolate North Korea until it abandons its nuclear and ballistic missile programs once and for all,” Pence said.
