| Apple fires senior engineering program manager Ashley Gjøvik for allegedly leaking information Posted: 09 Sep 2021 07:33 PM PDT  Apple has fired senior engineering program manager Ashley Gjøvik for allegedly violating the company's rules against leaking confidential information. For months, Gjøvik has been tweeting openly about allegations of harassment, surveillance, and workplace safety. "When I began raising workplace safety concerns in March, and nearly immediately faced retaliation and intimidation, I started preparing myself for something exactly like this to happen," she says. "I'm disappointed that a company I have loved since I was a little girl would treat their employees this way." Gjøvik has raised concerns that her office is in an Apple building located on a superfund site, meaning it requires special oversight due to historical waste contamination.... |
| Vape receipts help DOJ nab man who allegedly botnetted thousands of passwords Posted: 09 Sep 2021 05:58 PM PDT  28-year-old Ukrainian national Glib Oleksandr Ivanov-Tolpintsev has been indicted by the Department of Justice for allegedly using a botnet to brute force people's passwords, and then selling the credentials on a dark web store ominously called The Marketplace. According to the DOJ, Ivanov-Tolpintsev bragged that he was able to get at least 2,000 logins a week, and he allegedly told one of The Marketplace's admins that he had cracked over 20,000 passwords. The DOJ's description of the alleged methods and victims serve as a reminder of how much stolen information is out there, and the importance of implementing basic security principles. The indictment, which can be read in full below, alleges that Ivanov-Tolpintsev talked about... |

| Twitter is beginning to test labels for bot accounts Posted: 09 Sep 2021 04:00 PM PDT  Twitter is beginning to roll out labels for automated accounts (or bot accounts), the company announced Thursday. "Examples of automated accounts you might see on Twitter include bots that help you find vaccine appointments and disaster early warning systems," Twitter said in an FAQ. "When these accounts let you know they're automated, you get a better understanding of their purpose when you're interacting with them." Initially, in what Twitter is calling a test, a small number of developers will be invited to be able to apply the labels to their accounts. For accounts in the test that have activated the labels, an "Automated" label will appear on profile pages and on tweets themselves for accounts. Twitter says all developers will be... |
| Refusing to wear a mask on an airplane could now cost you up to $3,000 in fines Posted: 09 Sep 2021 03:06 PM PDT  Refusing to wear a mask on an airplane is about to get really expensive. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that it was doubling civil penalties for those who refuse to comply with federal mask mandates on commercial airlines, at airports, or on certain forms of public transportation like passenger rail or intercity buses. Repeat offenders could now face fines of up to $3,000. First time offenders will be fined $500-$1,000, up from the previous amount of $250. Second offenders will be fined $1,000-$3,000. The new TSA penalties, which are separate from the fines issued by the Federal Aviation Administration for unsafe behavior, will take effect September 10th. "... |
| FDA has rejected nearly one million flavored e-cigarettes Posted: 09 Sep 2021 02:37 PM PDT  After a year-long review of millions of e-cigarette-related products, the Food and Drug Administration says it has rejected 946,000 flavored products, prohibiting them from being marketed or sold. It also said that the applications for 4.5 million products were missing materials that the agency required to make a decision. All of those products must also be removed from the market.

| Texas passes law that bans kicking people off social media based on ‘viewpoint’ Posted: 09 Sep 2021 02:16 PM PDT  Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a bill regulating how social media companies moderate content. The new law, passed as HB 20 in early September, controversially prohibits banning (or demonetizing or otherwise restricting) content based on "the viewpoint of the user or another person," whether or not that viewpoint is expressed on the social media platform itself. HB 20 also requires social media services to disclose how they promote and moderate content and mandates transparency reports similar to those produced by Facebook, Google, and other major web companies. If platforms are notified of illegal content, the law requires them to evaluate it within 48 hours, a policy that mirrors at least one proposal in US Congress. (Unlike... |
