| Twitter blocked in Nigeria after deleting a tweet by its president Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:44 PM PDT  Twitter is suspended "indefinitely" in Nigeria, "for the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence," according to a statement (threaded on Twitter) from the country's minister of information and culture. The move comes days after the platform removed a threatening tweet by president Muhammadu Buhari which Twitter said violated its "abusive behavior" policy. On Saturday, the office of Nigeria's attorney general and ministry of justice said it would arrest and prosecute anyone who tried to get around the block, CNN reported, and directed government agencies to cooperate with prosecutors "to ensure the speedy prosecution of offenders without any further delay." Several news... |
| Justice Department has charged a Latvian woman it says helped develop Trickbot malware Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:25 PM PDT  The US Department of Justice has charged a Latvian woman for her role in allegedly developing the Trickbot malware, which was responsible for infecting millions of computers, targeting schools, hospitals, public utilities, and governments, the agency said in a news release. The DOJ alleges that Alla Witte was part of a criminal organization known as the Trickbot Group that operated in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Suriname. She allegedly helped develop the malware which was used to enable ransomware demands and payments. Victims would receive a notice that their computers were encrypted, the DOJ said, and were directed to buy special software through a bitcoin address linked to the Trickbot Group to have their files decrypted.

| Square will invest $5 million to build solar-powered bitcoin mining facility Posted: 05 Jun 2021 11:55 AM PDT  Financial services firm Square Inc. will partner with blockchain technology provider Blockstream Mining to build an open-source, solar-powered bitcoin mining facility, Blockstream announced in a press release Saturday. Square confirmed the news in a tweet, saying it was "committed to driving further adoption and efficiency of renewables within the bitcoin ecosystem." According to the release, Square will invest $5 million in the facility, which will be a "proof-of-concept for a 100% renewable energy Bitcoin mine at scale," and will be built at one of Blockstream's sites in the US. "We hope to show that a renewable mining facility in the real world is not only possible but also prove empirically that Bitcoin accelerates the world toward a... |
| India reportedly warns Twitter of ‘unintended consequences’ if it fails to follow new rules Posted: 05 Jun 2021 10:20 AM PDT  India's government has told Twitter it could face "unintended consequences" if it fails to comply with the country's new social media rules, Reuters reported. India's technology minister wrote in a June 5th letter to Twitter that the company's responses to previous government letters about the new rules did not confirm whether Twitter was in full compliance, according to Reuters. Under India's Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code, which took effect in May, social media companies could be subject to legal action if they fail to follow the code's provisions, which are aimed at regulating the platforms' content. The new rules call for platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp to remove content within 36 hours of... |
| Hackers reportedly used a compromised password in Colonial Pipeline cyberattack Posted: 05 Jun 2021 09:18 AM PDT  An analysis of the cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline found that the hackers were able to access the company's network using a compromised VPN password, Bloomberg reported. The hack led to a ransomware payout of $4.4 million, and resulted in gas prices around $3 per gallon for the first time in several years at US gas stations. According to cybersecurity firm Mandiant, the VPN account didn't use multi-factor authentication, which allowed the hackers to access Colonial's network with a compromised username and password. It's not clear whether the hackers discovered the username or were able to figure it out independently. The password was discovered among a batch of passwords leaked on the dark web, Bloomberg reported. The breach occurred... |
| Cruise gets permit from California to provide passenger test rides in driverless vehicles Posted: 05 Jun 2021 08:16 AM PDT  The California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) said Friday (pdf) it has authorized General Motors-owned self-driving vehicle company Cruise to provide driverless passenger service to the public in its robotaxis. The CPUC said Cruise is the first entrant in its driverless pilot program, which lets companies give test rides in vehicles without drivers. Under the terms of the program, Cruise may not charge passengers for the rides, and the company must submit quarterly reports to the CPUC about the vehicles' operations. Cruise has been testing its driverless vehicles in San Francisco, and last month applied for a permit that will allow the company to charge for autonomous rides and deliveries in the area. The company unveiled its Cruise... |
| The FBI is trying to get IP addresses and phone numbers of people who read a USA Today article Posted: 05 Jun 2021 08:00 AM PDT  The FBI is trying to get a list of IP addresses, phone numbers, and other information on people who read a USA Today article about the deaths of two of its agents (via Politico). The subpoena (PDF) says it relates to a criminal investigation, and is seeking the information of readers who accessed the article in a specific 35-minute timespan, but it's unclear who or what the Bureau is trying to track down. USA Today is fighting back against handing over the information, calling the request unconstitutional. "We were surprised to receive this subpoena particularly in light of President Biden's recent statements in support of press freedom. The subpoena is also contrary to the Justice Department's own guidelines concerning the narrow... |
| Memorials to honor COVID-19 dead begin to take shape Posted: 05 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT  How can we possibly memorialize the brutal toll of COVID-19? It's something I've been thinking about this week. The US observed Memorial Day on May 31, honoring people who died in military service. Artists, politicians, and activists are now starting to think about how to memorialize the more than 3.7 million people around the world who have died of COVID-19. Temporary memorials have already sprung up over the past 18 months, with flags, painted hearts, and pictures honoring the dead. But plans for new, more permanent memorials are starting to take shape. Some are massive structures, others are quiet gardens, and still others will be incorporated into spaces already dedicated to memorializing people who have died. In the UK, plans are... |
| The Supreme Court pared down a controversial anti-hacking law Posted: 05 Jun 2021 06:00 AM PDT  The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), a controversial anti-hacking law which bans "exceeding authorized access" on a computer system, was narrowed by the Supreme Court on Thursday in a 6-3 ruling. The court said the law shouldn't cover people misusing systems they're allowed to access — and that claiming otherwise would criminalize a "breathtaking amount" of everyday computer use. The court case, Van Buren v. United States, concerns a former Georgia police officer named Nathan Van Buren. Van Buren accepted $5,000 in exchange for looking up a woman's license plate in a police database. (The deal was actually an FBI sting operation, and the plate number was fictitious.) Because the exchange violated department rules, prosecutors said... |
