A Texas middle school teacher is being hailed as a hero after he used his gun to stop an alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl in front of his Houston residence.The incident was recorded on security cameras. 'I was scared, too, I'm not gonna lie. But she needed help more than I was afraid, so I had to do it.'David Garza spoke to KHOU-TV about the incident that began just before midnight July 28. "I looked out the window, and I saw a man beating up a woman on the ground ... trying to take her clothes off," said Garza. With that, he sprang into action and grabbed his pistol."I ran outside, asked what's going on. The girl screamed, 'I'm 15, help me!' I pointed the gun at him and told him to get off her," Garza recalled. The security clip — which you can view as part of KHOU's video report — shows Garza pointing his handgun at the assailant, who Garza said was grabbing the girl by the hair. "He took his hands off right away," Garza added. "He went chasing after her, I went chasing after him, and she got away."Police said the male followed the teenager from a metro bus before he attacked her. Although he got away, authorities were able to get a description and a still image from the bus showing the possible suspect. A neighbor who saw the attack from her window said she believed the suspect would have raped the teenager had Garza not intervened. Garza added that it's not the first time he had to chase a man to protect a child: "I think it's something anyone else would have done — come help a child."Police said the man wore a black hoodie with a white Reebok logo, white tennis shoes, and blue jeans. "I was scared, too, I'm not gonna lie," said Garza. "But she needed help more than I was afraid, so I had to do it."Like Blaze News?

The year of record-breaking data breaches continues unabated as public records data provider National Public Data has reportedly been hacked. According to HackRead.com, a hacker going by the pseudonym "Fenice" posted a collection of 2.9 billion records stolen from National Public Data on the cybercrime platform Breach Forums this week. "Many different businesses use our service to obtain criminal records, background checks and more all via XML integration," National Public Data says on its website. "All our data is updated regularly. We guarantee freshness and quality." After analyzing the leaked data, HackRead's research team discovered that the files contained the full names, addresses, cities, counties, states, ZIP codes, and the Social Security Numbers (SSNs) of countless Americans. The total size of the collection is 277 GB. 3 billion records from National Public Data leaked online. Image source: HackRead As HackRead notes, SSNs allow cybercriminals to "commit identity theft, open fraudulent credit accounts, secure loans, and even file false tax returns." As a result, anyone impacted could lose money, see their credit score drop unexpectedly, or end up in a prolonged legal battle to reclaim their identity and have the damage undone. While the leak is new, the data breach occurred back in April 2024. A hacker going by the alias "SXUL" claimed to have stolen nearly 3 billion records from National Public Data and its parent company, Jerico Pictures, Inc. The cyber criminal group USDoD then worked with SXUL in an attempt to sell the data to interested parties for $3.5 million. HackRead doesn't know if the sale was successful, but points out that Jerico Pictures is already facing litigation due to the data breach. The plaintiff alleges that Jerico Pictures failed "to properly secure and safeguard the personally identifiable information that it collected and maintained as part of its regular business practices." National Public Data has yet to issue a statement about the hack at the time of writing.
