Service disruption at Swish; US parasite outbreak and Danish terror plot also reported

Swish, a widely used mobile payment system in Sweden, is currently facing a significant service disruption. The outage prevents users from sending payments, impacting the majority of transactions. Swish has stated they are actively investigating the problem. Customers experiencing issues with specific transactions are advised to contact their respective banks for assistance. This disruption comes amidst other notable news, including a parasitic outbreak in Michigan that has claimed two lives. The outbreak of the intestinal parasite Cyclospora has affected over 11,000 people in the state, with nearly 200 requiring hospitalization. Meanwhile, in Denmark, three teenage boys have been arrested on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack on a school. Danish authorities reported that the boys allegedly planned to use knives and explosives, but the attack was prevented. They were apprehended in different locations and are reportedly communicating via platforms like Discord and Telegram to plan the assault, though they deny the charges. The school in question is located in a small town north of Aarhus, and police do not believe there is an ongoing risk to the institution.
