The US Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating after multiple Navy personnel reported receiving unsolicited smartwatches in the mail that could be installed with data-stealing malicious software, an NCIS spokesperson told CNN on Friday.

The news comes after the Army warned publicly this month that “service members across the military” had reported receiving the devices in the mail.

When used, the devices automatically connected to wireless networks and cell phones, “gaining access to a myriad of user data,” the advisory from the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) said.

A Supreme Court ruling this week will make it harder for the Navajo Nation to get water from the Colorado River. No one disputes that century-old treaties give them a right to water flowing through their reservation. The court found that the federal government isn't responsible for securing that water for the 170,000 tribal members who live there. It's a win for Arizona, Nevada and California. They said requiring them to accommodate the Navajo Nation's needs would upend negotiations over water supplies for 40 million people and a $15 billion-a-year industry that grows most of the nation’s winter vegetables.

Similar moves are also afoot in Tanzania and South Sudan, parliamentarians in those nations told Reuters, revealing for the first time a broad anti-LGBTQ legislative drive across East Africa.
