Zippyshare Quits After 17 Years, 45m Visits Per Month Makes No Money TorrentFreak
When file-hosting service Zippyshare showed its first
signs of life in September 2006, accessing the site using an iPhone
was impossible; the smart phones existence wouldnt be announced for
another four months.
Zippyshares success was built on solid yet basic foundations; straightforward free hosting of files, via a clean interface, at zero cost to the user. With relatively few options available elsewhere, Zippyshare was a huge success and to celebrate its first birthday, Zippyshare went BIG.
A few days ago Zippyshare.com turned one year old, its operators wrote in 2007. For Zippyshares first birthday we are raising the filesize limit to 100mb.
Upgrade After Upgrade
After repeatedly upgrading to meet rising demand, Zippyshare launched Zippyshare Uploader, a software application that allowed users to upload files without using a web browser.
Almost three years after the surprise 100mb limit was introduced, Zippyshare doubled its filesize limit to 200mb. A little later, when the internet was consumed with Megaupload being taken down, Zippyshare carried on as if nothing had happened, or it did once its email servers had been fixed.
Zippyshare Breaks Five-Year Silence With Bad News
When Zippyshares operators announced the shutdown of the site yesterday, that was the first update posted to the site for almost five years.
Weve decided that were shutting down the project at the end of the month. Please make backups of your important files, you have about two weeks to do so. Until then, the site will run without any changes, the announcement reads.

PCIe for Hackers: The Diffpair Prelude SoylentNews
https://hackaday.com/2023/03/14/pcie-for-hackers-the-diffpair-prelude/
PCIe, also known as PCI-Express, is a highly powerful interface. So let's see what it takes to hack on something that powerful. PCIe is be a bit intimidating at first, however it is reasonably simple to start building PCIe stuff, and the interface is quite resilient for hobbyist-level technology. There will come a time when we want to use a PCIe chip in our designs, or perhaps, make use of the PCIe connection available on a certain Compute Module, and it's good to make sure that we're ready for that.
PCIe is everywhere now. Every modern computer has a bunch of PCIe devices performing crucial functions, and even iPhones use PCIe internally to connect the CPU with the flash and WiFi chips. You can get all kinds of PCIe devices: Ethernet controllers, high-throughput WiFi cards, graphics, and all the cheap NVMe drives that gladly provide you with heaps of storage when connected over PCIe. If you're hacking on a laptop or a single-board computer and you'd like to add a PCIe device, you can get some PCIe from one of the PCIe-carrying sockets, or just tap into an existing PCIe link if there's no socket to connect to. It's been two decades since we've started getting PCIe devices now, PCIe is on its 5.0 revision, and it's clear that it's here to stay.
PCIe is a point-to-point bus that connect two devices together as opposed to PCI, an older bus, that could connect a chain of devices on your mainboard. One side of a PCIe link is a device, and another is a host. For instance, in a laptop, your CPU will have multiple PCIe ports some used to connect the GPU, some used to connect a WiFi card, some used for Ethernet, and some used for a NVMe drive.
Each PCIe link consists of at least three differential pairs one is a 100 MHz clock, REFCLK, that is (almost) always required for a link, and two pairs that form a PCIe lane one for transmit and another for receive. This is an x link you can also have 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x links, with four, eight sixteen and thirty-two differential pairs respectively, plus, again, REFCLK. The wider the link, the higher its throughput!

Remote Water Quality Monitoring Hackaday
While it can be straightforward to distill water to high purity, this is rarely the best method for producing water for useful purposes. Even drinking water typically needs certain minerals in it, plants may need a certain pH, and wastewater systems have a whole host of other qualities that need to be measured. Measuring water quality is a surprisingly complex endeavor as a result and often involves a wide array of sensors, much like this water quality meter from [RowlesGroupResearch].
The water quality meters that they are putting to use are typically set up in remote locations, without power, and are targeting natural bodies of water and also wastewater treatment plants. Temperature and pH are simple enough to measure and grasp, but this device also includes sensors for total dissolved solids (TDS) and turbidity which are both methods for measuring various amounts and types of particles suspended in the water. The build is based around an Arduino so that it is easy for others to replicate, and is housed in a waterproof box with a large battery, and includes data logging to an SD card in order to make it easy to deploy in remote, outdoor settings and to gather the data at a later time.
The build log for this device also goes into detail about al...

Deepfakes, Synthetic Media: How Digital Propaganda Undermines Trust SoylentNews
More and more, nation-states are leveraging sophisticated cyber influence campaigns and digital propaganda to sway public opinion. Their goal? To decrease trust, increase polarization, and undermine democracies around the world.
In particular, synthetic media is becoming more commonplace thanks to an increase in tools that easily create and disseminate realistic artificial images, videos, and audio. This technology is advancing so quickly that soon anyone will be able to create a synthetic video of anyone saying or doing anything the creator wants. According to Sentinel, there was a 900% year-over-year increase in the proliferation of deepfakes in 2020.
It's up to organizations to protect against these cyber influence operations. But strategies are available for organizations to detect, disrupt, deter, and defend against online propaganda. Read on to learn more.
[...] As technology advances, tools that have traditionally been used in cyberattacks are now being applied to cyber influence operations. Nation-states have also begun collaborating to amplify each other's fake content.
These trends point to a need for greater consumer education on how to accurately identify foreign influence operations and avoid engaging with them. We believe the best way to promote this education is to increase collaboration between the federal government, the private sector, and end users in business and personal contexts.

A Feature-Rich Amplifier Module For 3-Way Speaker Builds Hackaday
Theres something rewarding about building your own DIY audio hardware. Knowing you put it together yourself gives you faith in the construction, and psychosomatically makes the music sound all that much sweeter. If youre into that kind of thing, you might like to give [Eric Sorensens] Denmark amplifier module a look.
The amplifier is intended to be used in a 3-way system, running a subwoofer, woofer, and tweeter. It uses a 1000 W ICEpower module to run the subwoofer, with a pair of 500W ICEpower modules to run the woofer and tweeter respectively. Meanwhile, a MiniDSP 2x4HD is used to accept optical audio input. It also offers digital signal processing and serves as a crossover to split the signal across the three speakers. An STM32F401 is used to run the show, controlling all the various modules and the necessary status LEDs. Its a feature-rich build, too, with overtemperature monitoring, fan control, and clipping warnings built in.
The whole setup is built on to a sturdy aluminium backplate. The CNC-machined panel has simple tactile buttons for control. There&#...

A New Science of Heaven with Robert Temple Terra Forming Terra
I have been asked to review a new book written by Robert Temple titled A New Science of Heaven. I am delighted to do so.
it is also a great wake up call for my work on Cloud Cosmology. Understanding plasma is extremely important.
Understand that any and all clouds of free electrons will naturally be divergent and obviously blow apart. Bit of a problem if you narrow your vision just to what we can see or detect. This is of course my beef with all of our physics as I can readily imagine a neutron pair decaying into a free hygrogen ion and an electron. I can also imagine an electron positron pairing that is also neutral and even an neutrino pair as well. My Cloud Cosmology also informs how to go about making them as well.
What is important is that we have detected two plasma clouds within the two Lagrange points using optical telescopes. They are several times larger than our own planet. This happens to be an excellent location also for a large mass of neutral items just like neutron neutron pairs and all that. Free electrons will be shielded by these objects and even be nicely aligned with them as well.
All this screams that such neutron pairs form the outer shell of the sun and that such pairs are actively decaying there along with everything else we see. We are assuming the process is sped up there as well. Again we are describing obvious forms of so called DARK MATTER that simply cannot be detected by the tools at hand. And yes, DARK MATTER makes up around 98% of the matter in our galaxy. It might be important.
The fact is that we are blind to such matter. Yet it rather nicely accomadates plasma in particular and what has been asigned to Fusion Energy.
I now wonder just what lightening actually is. Free electrons obviously blow open a physical channel and something then passes through to the Earh's surface. Ball lightening is an obvious surface of free electrons containing what? How about neutron pairs we cannot detect?

Play ransomware gang hit Dutch shipping firm Royal Dirkzwager Security Affairs
Dutch maritime logistics company Royal Dirkzwager suffered a ransomware attack, the company was hit by the Play ransomware gang.
The Play ransomware group hit the Dutch maritime logistics company Royal Dirkzwager.
Royal Dirkzwager is specialized in optimizing shipping processes and managing maritime and logistic information flows.
The ransomware group added the company to its Tor data leak site and announced the theft of stolen private and personal confidential data, employee IDs, passports, contracts and etc.
The gang initially leaked a 5 GB archive as proof of the hack and threatens to release the full dump if the company will not pay the ransom.
Company CEO Joan Blaas said that the ransomware attack did not impact the operations of the company. He confirmed that threat actors have stolen sensitive data from its infrastructure.
It has had a huge impact on our employees. Over the last year, because of the companys bankruptcy, we had to let go of people and not everyone could stay. We had to move offices and now this. Its been a very difficult time, Company CEO Joan Blaas told The Record.

Demographic trends such as a persistent labor shortage and the growing elder care crisis make fully-functioning, AI-driven humanoid robots look tantalizingly appealing.
Companies such as Amazon are reportedly worried about running out of warehouse workers, whose jobs are physically and mentally demanding with high attrition.

Biologists Figured Out How to Generate New Neurons in the Adult Brain, Revolutionizing Neurodegenerative Disease Research Lifeboat News: The Blog
Recently biologists discovered how to generate new neurons in the adult brain. This is an incredible breakthrough that has enormous potential to revolutionize neurodegenerative disease research. By generating genetically-mutated mice with a unique gene that activates dormant neural stem cells, scientists were able to generate new neurons in the brain. For years, scientists have been searching for ways to promote the growth of new neurons in the brain, especially in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons. This new discovery could lead to new treatments and therapies that could help to restore brain function and improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world.
Leslie Samuel, founder of Interactive Biology, gives some context for the importance of genetic trading between organisms for scientific research, and notes how the loss of nerve cells in the brain is one of the hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. The ability to generate new neurons in the adult brain could be a game-changer in the field of neurology.

Microsoft Researchers Propose A New AI Method That Uses Both Forward And Backward Language Models To Meet In The Middle And Improve The Training Data Efficiency Lifeboat News: The Blog
Language models (LMs) have been extensively utilized for various aided writing activities, including text summarization, code completion, and paraphrasing. LMs are effective tools for creating both natural and programming languages. Most LMs must be able to develop the next token from the sequence of earlier tokens to be useful in a wide range of applications. Due to the significance of this operation, pretraining has concentrated on improving the models perplexity in predicting the next token given the last tokens. However, they do have extra information that they are not using during pretraining.
For instance, they entirely disregard the following tokens while training the model to predict one token and only condition on the prefix (prior tokens) (suffix). There are alternative approaches to include the suffix in pretraining that have yet to be discussed in the literature, even though it cannot be utilized as an input to the model. They want to increase the pretraining datas usefulness while maintaining the underlying LMs autoregressive properties. Their strategy calls for more modeling, which at first glance could appear useless. After all, an autoregressive left-to-right LM is a primary artifact created during pretraining, and the pretraining aim closely resembles how the LM is used.
Yet, there are two reasons to explore different training objectives. Data efficiency is discussed in the first. The LM is trained using a sparse, inexpensive signal that generates a probability distribution over all potential next-token selections. However, it is only supervised using the actual next token from the training set. What if a more intense kind of supervision was used during training, where the probability distribution for the next tokens was compared to a different probability distribution? The second justification relates to other connected responsibilities. For instance, the user may prefer to fill in or edit an existing sequence of tokens in many real-world settings rather than creating text entirely from scratch.

Standard Life Has in Effect Legitimised Business Fraud schestowitz.com
Official Standard Life paperwork (issued by
Standard Life) was used to legitimise fraud for over
half a decade
Summary: Its starting to look more and more like pension providers in the UK, including some very major and large ones, are aiding criminals who steal money from their workers under the guise of pensions
THIS site isnt about my work colleagues at Sirius Open Source. As explained this past month, this supposedly Open Source (not anymore!) company that was one of the FSFs early sponsors stole a lot of money from employees, myself included. This is now a criminal matter. Several managers knew what was happening; they stole money from many of us and we will put them behind bars if possible (one of them has fled to the United States already).
The pension providers are culpable too, as we shall explain in the habitual updates (maybe once or twice per week).
Former colleagues also chase the matter. Any progress on this? I asked this month. Did you file for review or something to that effect?
As it turns out, pension providers are stonewalling. They try hard to not get involved in these crime investigations. As if ignoring the victims is a wise strategy. Its not. It just makes them look complicit in cover-up. The person I blame the most is Leah Brown at Standard Life. For many weeks she kept saying my hands are tied, refusing to tell me what had actually happened. Shes a manager, so one cannot just report her to a manager. Leah Brown has made Standard Life look like part of the crime and there might be a class action lawsuit on the way. We just try to gather a list of people willing to participate in it (sharing the cost of litigation).
Do you have contact details of other past workers? I asked. Im sure quite a few had this pension and havent been keeping up with its status.
Over the past month I spoke to more former workers than I can count. Some arent surprised by this corruption; their view of the company was already mostly negative. Most of them left years ago.
We recently found out that the exisiting CEO of Sirius (last man standing so to speak) now tries to do the job of the engineers and is failing at it as they left. The former CEO left...

Despite the economic uncertainty, 57% of organizations plan to increase their cybersecurity budgets in 2023, according to a survey from Arctic Wolf. This highlights a powerful trend: critical needs like security must be addressed even with IT budgets tightening. As 48% of organizations rank ransomware and targeted threats as their number one concern for 2023, how can they allocate that increased cybersecurity budget effectively? In this Help Net Security video, Ian McShane, VP of Strategy More

RP2040 Runs Linux Through RISC-V Emulation Hackaday
Were used to running Linux on CPUs where it belongs, and the consensus is that RP2040 just isnt up for the task no memory controller, and nowhere near enough RAM, to boot. At least, thats what you might believe until you see [tvlad1234]s Linux-on-RP2040 project, reminding us theres more than one way to boot Linux on a CPU like this! Just like with the Linux on AVR project in 2012 that emulated an ARM processor, the pico-rv32ima project emulates a RISC-V core keeping up with the times.
Initially, the aforementioned Linux on AVR through ARM project was picked as a base then, a newer development, [cnlohr]s RISC-V emulator, presented itself and was too good to pass up on. Lack of RAM was fully negated by adding an SD card into the equation coupled with a small caching layer, this is a crucial part for the projects...

Services and Users TRApped in Telescreen-Running Apps Techrights
New article by Alexandre Oliva (FSF Board, Linux-libre etc.)
Summary: TRApp, term that lends its name to this article, is short for "Telescreen-Running App". It sounds just like "trap". Any similarity is not purely coincidental.
Ive noticed a worrisome pattern, in Brazil, wherein companies and even governments entice users to install apps on portable telescreening devices, handheld versions of the telescreens in George Orwell's 1984, also known as smart mobile telephones, pocket electronic ankle tag, or Stalin's dream. They advertise benefits to customers over the same services previously delivered preferentially through web sites and browsers, when these alternatives aren't removed entirely.
As Big Bad Wolf disguised as grandma would respond, "my TRApps are so big the better to see you, dear, and the tighter to hold you." That's surveillance capitalism at work. But do they have any teeth?
First, allow me to detail my observations. It's not just multiple utilities, private businesses and governments advertising they now have apps on both major (nonfree) mobile TRApp stores, that offer similar services to those already available on a web site, but now without the alleged hassle of authenticating every time. It's not just that, while you hold on the phone waiting for a human attendant, recorded messages are played insisting for you to try the TRApp.
What catches my attention is when online merchants offer significant discounts, store credit or free shipping, but only if you make the purchase in the TRApp, rather than their web shop. That gas station chains offer discounts when you pay for your fuel using their TRApp rather than even cash or bank transfer. When banks want you to use their TRApps so bad that they won't just stop adding features to the web site, as if it was legacy abandonware, but will discontinue features that used to be available on the web site, for no reason other than to force you into their TRApps.
Various government agencies now issue virtual documents, such as id card, driver's and car license, voter id, proof of military service and of vaccination, proof of purchases, the list goes on and on but though they look essentially the same as their paper equivalents, and several of them contain even QR codes for validation, some of them are only valid when displayed by the official TRApp. Taking and carrying a digital picture of the paper document won't do, even when a paper copy of the document would!

Can ChatGPT Write Better SQL Than a Data Analyst? SoylentNews
Extracting information from databases requires skill and
knowledge of query languages like SQL (Structured Query
Language).
Natural language querying (NLQ) which is also called Text-to-SQL
allows formation of information retrieval questions without
knowledge of database-specific languages. ChatGPT is the next level
in this area.
Data analyst Marie Truong challenged ChatGPT to write better SQL in January. She is comparing valid SQL syntax, query structure, correct results, and runtime. The result? ChatGPT got 50% of it wrong.
One of many new articles about this topic tries to convert database schemas into natural language as part of chatgpt prompts to provide more precise outcomes:
There has been an expectation that ChatGPT could assist in creating database queries, just as it can assist in creating computer programs. However, creating database queries requires an understanding of the database itself, and there is no conventional way to represent database semantics.
We present a solution to this problem by developing a set of syntax that can represent database semantics, such as table structure and relationships, in natural language. This allows for the creation of semantic representations of databases that can be understood by ChatGPT and enable it to perform database management tasks.
Experiment 2:
A SQL query needs to properly join four tables: careplans, providers, patients, and encounters. The encounters table plays a critical role here as it connects the patients table with the careplans table. This information is typically contained in an Entity Relationship schema.ChatGPT has successfully generated the query that results in a correct view.
There has been a research about generating SQL queries from natural language since 2016.

OVER the past few days weve barely published anything because we did lots of work related to tooling and workflow instead. Files were added to Git last night and weve just caught up with a lot of links. Daily Links are very important, orginal articles ideally contain exclusive (original) material. Trying to hold my former employer accountable for actual crimes takes a lot of time and in addition to this weve been investing in the sites future by writing a bunch of supportive programs. Python, Perl, Bash
Over the past few days we stumbled upon some truly encouraging news too.This coming week or fortnight we expect to have some exclusive EPO material. It might even be historic. We want to hold Antnio Campinos accountable; his appointer, Benot Battistelli, was never held accountable for some very serious crimes, which should really embarrass Europe.
Over the past few days we stumbled upon some truly encouraging news too. We intend to write about some of them, seeing that the media and social control media arent willing to.

A Look at Zweikanalton Stereo Audio and Comparison With NICAM Hackaday
With how we take stereo sound for granted, there was a very long period where broadcast audio and television with accompanying audio track were in mono. Over the decades, multiple standards were developed that provide a way to transmit and receive two mono tracks, as a proper stereo transmission. In a recent video, [Matt] over at [Matts Tech Barn] takes a look at the German Zweikanalton (also known as A2 Stereo) standard, and compares it with the NICAM standard that was used elsewhere in the world.
Zweikanalton is quite simple compared to NICAM (which we covered previously), being purely analog with a second channel transmitted alongside the first. Since it didnt really make much of a splash outside of the German-speaking countries, equipment for it is more limited. In this video [Matt] looks at the Philips PM 5588 and Rohde & Schwarz 392, analyzing the different modulations for FM, Zweikanalton and NICAM transmissions and the basic operation of the modulator and demodulator equipment.
An interesting aspect of these modulations are the visible sidebands, and the detection of which modulatio...

A Leaning Tower of Pisa-Sized Asteroid Will Sweep Lifeboat News: The Blog
A newly discovered asteroid called 2023 DW has generated quite a buzz over the past week due to an estimated 1-in-670 chance of impact on Valentines Day 2046. But despite a NASA advisory and the resulting scary headlines, theres no need to put an asteroid doomsday on your day planner for that date.
The risk assessment doesnt have as much to do with the probabilistic roll of the cosmic dice as it does with the uncertainty thats associated with a limited set of astronomical observations. If the case of 2023 DW plays out the way all previous asteroid scares have gone over the course of nearly 20 years, and further observations will reduce the risk to zero.
Nevertheless, the hubbub over a space rock that could be as wide as 165 feet (50 meters) highlights a couple of trends to watch for: Were likely to get more of these asteroid alerts in the years to come, and NASA is likely to devote more attention to heading off potentially dangerous near-Earth objects, or NEOs.

How a Beam of Pellets Could Blast a Probe Into Deep Space SoylentNews
If you want a spacecraft that can explore beyond the solar systemand you don't want to wait decades for it to get thereyou need one that can really move. Today's chemical rockets and solar-powered probes are downright poky on interstellar scales. Artur Davoyan has a completely different idea for how to accelerate a spacecraft to extreme speeds: pellet-beam propulsion.
Here's the gist of how it would work: First, you actually need two spacecraft. A probe blasts off on a one-way trip to deep space, while a second vehicle remains locked in an Earth orbit and fires thousands of tiny metallic pellets at its partner every second. The orbiting craft also either fires a 10-megawatt laser beam at the retreating probe, or aligns a laser fired from the ground at it. The laser hits the pellets, heats them, and ablates them, so that part of their material melts and becomes plasmaa hot cloud of ionized particles. That plasma accelerates the pellet remnants, and this pellet beam provides thrust to the spacecraft.
Alternatively, Davoyan thinks the probe could get thrust from the pellet beam if the craft were to deploy an on-board magnetic field-generating device to deflect the pellets. In this case, that magnetic action would push the craft forward.
Such a system could boost a 1-ton probe to speeds up to 300,000 miles per hour. That's slow compared to the speed of light, but more than 10 times faster than conventional propulsion systems.
It's a theoretical concept, but realistic enough that NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program has given Davoyan's group $175,000 to show that the technology is feasible. "There's rich physics in there," says Davoyan, a mechanical and aerospace engineer at UCLA. To create propulsion, he continues, "you either throw the fuel out of the rocket or you throw the fuel at the rocket." From a physics perspective, they work the same: Both impart momentum to a moving object.

K-12 Computing Education in Four African Countries It Will Never Work in Theory
For a few months in 2021 and 2022, it looked like technical conferences might start being more globally inclusive. COVID-19 restrictions meant that even people from affluent countries couldn't travel, so there was finally an effort to create a level playing field for remote attendance. It didn't last: all of the conferences I might have attended this year provided off-site options, but none of them included all of their talks, workshops, and gatherings. My colleagues in Latin America and Africa are therefore shut out of the conversation once again because of visa issues, travel costs, and a dozen other obstacles. As one of them said to me in frustration, "If people from Google and Stanford had to deal with this shit, the ACM would make Zoom conferences mandatory."
People from less affluent regions of the world are often left out of research as well: as that same colleague observed, there have probably been more studies of how students in Washington State program than of students from the whole of Latin America. This paper is a step toward closing that gap. In it, the authors present results from a survey of computer science educators in four African countries and compare them both to each other and to more affluent countries. Barriers to professional development are reported alongside what people actually teach, and some shortcomings of the analysis framework itself are discussed. The authors intend to repeat their survey in coming years, and I look forward to reading those sequels.

Motivation. As K-12 computing education becomes more established throughout the world, there is an increasing focus on accessibility for all, whether in a particular country or setting or in areas of the world that may not yet have computing established. This is primarily articulated as an equity issue. The recently developed capacity for, access to, participation in, and experience of computer science education (CAPE) Framework is one way of demonstrating stages and dependencies and understanding relative equity, taking into consideration the disparities between sub-populations. While there is existing research that covers the state of computing education and equity issues, it is mostly in high-income countries; there is minimal research in the context of low-middle-income countries like the sub-Saharan African countries.

We get results! Well, sort of. You may recall that in this space
last
week we discussed Fords plans to exclude AM reception on the
infotainment systems of certain of their cars starting in 2024. We
decried the decision, not for the loss of the sweet, sweet content
that AM stations tend to carry although we always enjoyed Traffic
on the 8s back in our dismal days of daily commuting but rather as
a safety concern, because AM radio can reach almost the entire US
population with emergency information using just 75 stations. To
our way of thinking, this makes AM radio critical infrastructure,
and eliminating it from motor vehicles is likely to have unintended
consequences. Now it seems like theres some agreement with that
position, as former administrators of FEMA (Federal Emergency
Management Administration; and no, not FEDRA) have gotten together to warn about the
dangers of deleting AM from cars. Manufacturers seem to be leaning
into the excuse that EVs emit a lot of radio frequency

Filmmakers Want Owner of Defunct VPN Arrested in Piracy Case TorrentFreak
Over
the past two decades, online piracy has proven a massive challenge
for the entertainment industries.
Some copyright holders have pursued legal action against individual pirates, but today its not uncommon for third-party intermediaries to also be considered legitimate targets.
Over the past several years, internet service providers, hosting companies, and VPN providers have faced infringement liability lawsuits. Most of the VPN companies chose to settle disputes but when LiquidVPN was sued, the provider simply ignored the lawsuit.
Filmmakers Win $15m in LiquidVPN Lawsuit
LiquidVPN was previously owned by David Cox, who was initially listed as a defendant. As the case progressed it emerged that Cox had sold the VPN provider before the lawsuit was filed, with Puerto Rico company 1701 Management identified as the buyer.
Despite facing serious allegations, 1701 Management and its alleged owner, Charles Muszynski, failed to answer the claims filed at a federal court in Florida. This prompted the film companies to request a default judgment of more than $15 million, which was eventually granted a year ago.
The default judgment marks the end of the road on the question of liability but doesnt necessarily mean that the filmmakers automatically get the money. As it turns out, that can be quite a challenge.
Chasing The Money
Over the past several months, the filmmakers attorney Kerry Culpepper has submitted several writs of garnishment to the court. Through these requests, the court can order the seizure of property owned or controlled by the debtors.
In this case, those efforts targeted a yacht, docked at a Florida harbor, and various other types of properties. In addition, the filmmakers obtained a worldwide restraining order against the assets of Mr. Muszynski, 1701 Management, and the third defendant AUH2O.
This hunt for assets connected several companies to Muszynski, including the New Mexico company WasteResources LLC. According to the legal paperwork, there is evidence to show that the company is owned and controlled by the defendant.

The plotter uses a coreXY arrangement, powered by 28BYJ-48 stepper motors, which he overdrives with +12 VDC to increase the torque. Pen up and down control is done using a stepper motor salvaged from a DVD reader. The frame is constructed using PVC electrical conduit and associated fittings, and [Arca] uses the hot glue gun quite liberally. Steppers were driven by A4988 modules with heatsinks, and motion control is provided by GRBL running on an Arduino UNO.

Globalization is Over, According to TSMC Founder SoylentNews
Free trade not quite as dead, 'but it's in danger' says Morris Chang:
Globalization is over, at least for the chip industry, and this will mean higher chip prices, according to semiconductor contract manufacturer giant TSMC. Despite this, the company's founder said he supports US actions to slow the development of China's chip technology.
The Taiwanese chip company is caught up in the ongoing semiconductor battle between the superpowers, where the US is trying to prevent China from getting access to cutting edge technology that might be used by its burgeoning military. At least, that is the reason given.
At an event hosted by Taiwan's CommonWealth Magazine in Taipei, retired TSMC founder Morris Chang said that efforts to contain China were leading to a split in the global supply chain that would likely increase prices and could have an effect on chip availability.
"There's no question in my mind that, in the chip sector, globalization is dead. Free trade is not quite that dead, but it's in danger," Chang said.
[...] It has already been noted that US efforts to isolate China are leading to an undoing of the distributed global supply chain infrastructure that has built up over the past few decades.
Richard Gordon, practice vice president for semiconductors and electronics at Gartner, told us earlier this year the outcome may be a world divided into China-centric and US-Europe-centric networks of supply chains and a greater self-reliance within those blocks.
Meanwhile, TSMC is also discussing subsidies with officials for the German state of Saxony about a new fabrication plant the chip giant is aiming to build there, despite publicly stating in December that it had no plans to site any facilities in Europe.

Monitoring the QO-100 WB transponder usage with Maia SDR Daniel Estvez
I am interested in monitoring the usage of the QO-100 WB transponder over several weeks or months, to obtain statistics about how full the transponder is, what bandwidths are used, which channels are occupied more often, etc., as well as statistics about the power of the signals and the DVB-S2 beacon. For this, we need to compute and record to disk waterfall data for later analysis. Maia SDR is ideal for this task, because it is easy to write a Python script that configures the spectrometer to a low rate, connects to the WebSocket to fetch spectrometer data, performs some integrations to lower the rate even more, and records data to disk.
For this project Ive settled on using a sample rate of 20 Msps, which covers the whole transponder plus a few MHz of receiver noise floor on each side (this will be used to calibrate the receiver gain) and gives a frequency resolution of 4.9 kHz with Maia SDRs 4096-point FFT. At this sample rate, I can set the Maia SDR spectrometer to 5 Hz and then perform 50 integrations in the Python script to obtain one spectrum average every 10 seconds.
Part of the interest of setting up this project is that the Python script can serve as an example of how to interface Maia SDR with other applications and scripts. In this post I will show how the system works and an initial evaluation of the data that I have recorder over a week. More detailed analysis of the data will come in future posts.
The Python script Im using can be found here. It uses the Python requests package to configure Maia SDR using its REST API, the websockets package to connect to the spectrometer WebSocket, and NumPy to average groups of 50 spectra together and write them to a file, as well as writing timestamps to another file. Dealing with the spectrometer WebSocket is really simple. Each message provides a 4096-point spectrum (in linear unit), which we can convert to a NumPy array by doing
np.frombuffer(await ws.recv(), 'float32')The script produces two output files: a file with the spectrum data in float32 format, and a file with the timestamps in datetime64[ns] format.

Lowes Market chain leaves client data up for grabs Security Affairs
A misconfiguration on a website owned by the US-based Lowes Market grocery store chain could have allowed threat actors to gain control of its systems.
On February 7, the Cybernews research team discovered a misconfiguration on the Lowes Market website. The supermarket chains website was leaking a treasure trove of private credentials, which left the company vulnerable to potential attacks by cybercriminals.
Together, the compromised credentials could enable an unscrupulous hacker to gain control of most of the online stores functionality, see sensitive customer information, and abuse access to paid services, all while putting Lowes Market customers at risk.
With almost 150 locations, the Lowes chain primarily operates stores in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Kansas.
At the time of writing, the company has already fixed the issue. Cybernews reached out to Lowes Market regarding the details of the misconfiguration and the possible duration of data exposure. However, the company has yet to provide a response to the inquiry.
Access to databases
Researchers found a publicly accessible environment file (.env) hosted on the Lowes Market website. Public access to the file posed a risk to the security of the companys systems, as it was leaking sensitive data and numerous credentials.
An examination of the environment file suggests that the developers were not following the best practices, while poor security configurations might have led to more secrets, an industry term for vital data that should be kept private, being exposed.
The leaked secrets could have allowed threat actors to access databases as the hosts, usernames, and ports of main, tracking, legacy, recipe, and redis.io databases were exposed.
Database hosts and credentials are considered sensitive information, as they are used to access respective databases and their contents. In the case of Lowes Market, most database hosts are internet-connected, making it particularly easy for threat actors to access them.

How much fuel is left in this 20-year-old Mars orbiter? Lifeboat News: The Blog
Designing, building, and launching a spacecraft is hugely expensive. Thats why NASA missions to Mars are designed with the hope that theyll last as long as possible like the famous Opportunity rover which was supposed to last for 90 days and managed to keep going for 15 years. The longer a mission can keep running, the more data it can collect, and the more we can learn from it.
Thats true for the orbiters which travel around Mars as well as the rovers which explore its surface, like the Mars Odyssey spacecraft which was launched in 2001 and has been in orbit around Mars for more than 20 years. But the orbiter cant keep going forever as it will eventually run out of fuel, so figuring out exactly how much fuel is left is important but it also turned out to be more complicated than the NASA engineers were expecting.
Odyssey started out with nearly 500 pounds of hydrazine fuel, though last year it looked as if the spacecraft was running much lower on fuel than had been predicted.

NASAs Parker Solar Probe makes its 15th close flyby of the sun this St. Patricks Day Lifeboat News: The Blog
NASAs sun-touching Parker Solar Probe spacecraft will celebrate St. Patricks Day (March 17) by making another close approach to our star. While people all over Earth enjoy a cold beer, the spacecraft will brave blisteringly hot temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,400 degrees Celsius) as it makes its 15th close approach to the sun, or perihelion.
According to NASAs Parker Solar Probe website, (opens in new tab) the exact time of the close approach will be 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 GMT) when the spacecraft comes to within around 5.3 million miles (8.5 million km) of the suns surface, the photosphere.

This insertable 3D printer will repair tissue damage from the inside Lifeboat News: The Blog
Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, have developed a flexible 3D bioprinter that can layer organic material directly onto organs or tissue. Unlike other bioprinting approaches, this system would only be minimally invasive, perhaps helping to avoid major surgeries or the removal of organs. It sounds like the future at least in theory but the research team warns its still five to seven years away from human testing.
The printer, dubbed F3DB, has a soft robotic arm that can assemble biomaterials with living cells onto damaged internal organs or tissues. Its snake-like flexible body would enter the body through the mouth or anus, with a pilot / surgeon guiding it toward the injured area using hand gestures. In addition, it has jets that can spray water onto the target area, and its printing nozzle can double as an electric scalpel. The team hopes its multifunctional approach could someday be an all-in-one tool (incising, cleaning and printing) for minimally invasive operations.
The F3DBs robotic arm uses three soft-fabric-bellow actuators using a hydraulic system composed of DC-motor-driven syringes that pump water to the actuators, as summarized by IEEE Spectrum. Its arm and flexible printing head can each move in three degrees of freedom (DOFs), similar to desktop 3D printers. In addition, it includes a flexible miniature camera to let the operator view the task in real time.

The fifth force: Is there another fundamental force of nature? Lifeboat News: The Blog
In recent years, a group of Hungarian researchers have made headlines with a bold claim. They say theyve discovered a new particle dubbed X17 that requires the existence of a fifth force of nature.
The researchers werent looking for the new particle, though. Instead, it popped up as an anomaly in their detector back in 2015 while they were searching for signs of dark matter. The oddity didnt draw much attention at first. But eventually, a group of prominent particle physicists working at the University of California, Irvine, took a closer look and suggested that the Hungarians had stumbled onto a new type of particle one that implies an entirely new force of nature.
Then, in late 2019, the Hungarian find hit the mainstream including a story featured prominently on CNN when they released new results suggesting that their signal hadnt gone away. The anomaly persisted even after they changed the parameters of their experiment. Theyve now seen it pop up in the same way hundreds of times.

Intel's Xeon W9-3495X Can Draw 1,900W of Power SoylentNews
Intel's new HEDT CPU leaves behind Skylake-X in terms of power consumption:
Intel's recently introduced Xeon W9-3495X processor packs 56 cores begging you to overclock them, as the CPU also features an unlocked multiplier. When cooled down using liquid nitrogen, the 56-core processor can indeed be pushed to a formidable 5.50 GHz frequency, but at such high clocks it alone consumes almost 1,900 watts, more than beefy high-end gaming PCs, reports HardwareLuxx.
Elmor, a professional overclocker who collaborates with Asus, recently tried to push a Xeon W9-3495X 'Sapphire Rapids-SP' CPU on an Asus Pro WS W790E Sage SE motherboard to its limits with liquid nitrogen cooling. When frozen to -92.8 degrees Celsius/-135 degrees Fahrenheit, the CPU can work at 5.50 GHz and hit 132,220 points in Cinebench R23, which is just a little bit lower than the absolute record of 132,484 points set by another heavily overclocked Xeon W9-3495X. But the result comes at a cost.
The heavily overclocked Intel Xeon W9-3495X processor not only demonstrates phenomenal performance in Cinebench R23, but it also sets record in terms of power consumption. The CPU draws as much as 1,881W power when operating at 5.50 GHz and requires two 1,600W PSUs to feed it.
[...] Without any doubts, hitting 5.50 GHz with a 56-core Xeon W9-3495X processor cooled down using liquid nitrogen is a monumental achievement. Yet, it remains to be seen what makers of boutique factory-overclocked extreme workstations manage to squeeze out of this CPU with a production-grade cooling system and guaranteed long-term stability.

3D-Printed Shredder Eats Lettuce For Breakfast Hackaday
Shredding things isnt just good for efficiently and securely disposing of them. Its also very fun, as well. [Joonas] of [Lets Print] didnt have a shredder, so set about 3D printing one of their very own.
The design apes that of the big metal trash shredders youve probably seen in videos all over the internet. They use a pair of counter-rotating drums with big teeth. As the drums turn, the teeth grab and pull objects into the gap between the drums, where they are duly torn apart into smaller pieces.
In this design, plastic drums are pressed into service as [Joonas] does not have a metal 3D printer. A brushed DC motor is used to drive the shredder. A large multi-stage gearbox is used to step down the motors output and provide plenty of torque to do the job.
The shredder gets tested with ple...

Customizing the Start-Up Chime On a 1999 G3 iMac Hackaday
The start-up chime on Macs is probably as recognizable as the default Nokia ringtone in this day and age. Yet much like a ringtone, so too one might want to change the start-up chime on a Mac. This is something which [Doug Brown] has done in the past already on a Power Mac G3 in 2012, which made him instantly an expert on the topic in the eyes of a reader who wanted to know how to change the chime on a 1999 iMac. While the firmware on both these systems is written in Forth, it did take a bit of sleuthing to figure out where the chime was hiding in the firmware image, and how to change it.
The target iMac is somewhat unique in that it has a G4 PPC CPU rather than the more common G3. The firmware is similar enough that it was a snap to simply search the newer iMacs firmware for the signature of the chime sound data. This turned out to be the identical QuickTime IMA ADPCM format-encoded data, yet what was different was how this data was integrated into the firmware image. Key is finding the area in the firmware where not only the address of the chime datas start is defined, but also its length. Finally, the checksums in the firmware image have to be updated so that it matches the patched data.

Sonys Using Lasers to Help Low-vision Users Take Pictures SoylentNews
Sony wants to help low-vision users enjoy photography by shining lasers in their eyes:
Giant frickin' laser beams get all the buzz and sci-fi love, but it's our little laser bros that are putting in the work: taking measurements, entertaining our cats, and now, in the case of a Sony camera, helping people with vision problems see clearly through an electronic viewfinder and take pictures.
Sony is working with fellow Japanese company QD Laser to release the HX99 RNV Retina Projection Camera kit, a compact camera with an add-on retinal laser housing for projecting the camera's focused live view image into the user's eye. The low-power laser projection is designed to effectively bypass the focusing of the eye, helping users with visual impairments like shortsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism see a clear image.
It uses Sony's existing DSC-HX99 compact camera, which is a somewhat middling model from 2018 with an 18-megapixel sensor and equivalent zoom lens of 24-720mm (30x magnification), combined with QD Laser's Retissa Neoviewer projector. According to QD Laser's specs, the Retissa Neoviewer uses an RGB semiconductor laser to display an image with an equivalent of 720p resolution and 8-bit color depth. This beamed image has an approximate 60-degree horizontal field of view with 60Hz refresh, and the housing's battery has an estimated four hours of battery life. Tragically, it charges via Micro USB instead of USB-C.

Tiny PCB PiezoPiano Plays Just One Octave Hackaday
Grand pianos are beautiful instruments, but take up altogether too much space. Upright pianos are smaller, but still fairly hefty. When it comes to the PiezoPiano, though, we suspect nobody could complain about its diminutive size. Its a tiny thing with just one buzzy little octave for your playing pleasure.
The PiezoPiano is a single PCB device with a ATmega4809 running the show. It has eight buttons and eight piezo transducers that give you just one octaves range on the keyboard. Truth be told, thats only in one scale; youre not getting the whole twelve tones of flats and sharps included. And, when we say keyboard, we really mean tactile buttons. You get the drift. Its all assembled in a cute enclosure mimicking the shape of a real grand piano.
Fundamentally, its a cute little musical desktoy that reminds us greatly of the Stylophone. Impressively, though, those eight buzzers mean it has eight-note polyphony. Thats nothing to sniff at compared to all the monophonic synths out there. Its also available on Tindie if youd like to buy a kit off the shelf. Video after the break.

Annoying Cicada Magnet Is Nonetheless Authentic Hackaday
Weve all heard of those chirper devices that randomly make annoying noises for no other reason than sending people insane. This project from [Kousuke Saito] brings altogether more art to this idea, while still being quite annoying indeed.
The build is essentially a replica cicada. [Saito] was inspired to build the device as the sounds of the insect remind him fondly of the summer. His design consists of a 3D-printed housing that roughly approximates something like a cicada, with two wings attached to a central body. In this case, the layer lines of the 3D print actually added to the realism of the ersatz insect The housing is nicely painted to serve as an adequate simulacra to those who arent up on their entomology.
Inside, theres an ATTiny 85 paired with an MP3 playback module and a small speaker. Its charged with reproducing the noise of various cicadas. Its setup with an ingenious mechanism to switch it on. There are magnets installed in the base which allow it to stick to metallic objects. Theres also a switch in the bottom of the dev...

Building a Truss-Braced Model Airplane: Sense or Nonsense? Hackaday
Following NASAs recent results with truss-braced wing airplanes and the benefits this could bring to full-sized airplanes, [Think Flight] figured that if it helps with those airplanes, perhaps it may also be a boon for model airplanes. With the recent construction of a carrier airplane for smaller drones, he decided to give the concept a whirl to see whether it would make a difference compared to a regular wing design. This carrier airplane features a payload bay that can be opened in flight to release the drones stored inside it, making any potential increased payload capacity and improvements to the flight characteristics very welcome.
The truss-braced wing design has been studied by NASA and Boeing, with the design offering a high aspect ratio, not unlike the...

NATO on bots, sockpuppets, and shills manipulating social media Geeking with Greg
NATO has a new report, "Social Media Manipulation 2022/2023: Assessing the Ability of Social Media Companies to Combat Platform Manipulation".
Buying manipulation remains cheap ... The vast majority of the inauthentic engagement remained active across all social media platforms four weeks after purchasing.The fake engagement gets picked up and amplified by algorithms like trending, search ranking, and recommenders. That's why it is so effective. A thousand sockpuppets engage with something new in the first hour, then the algorithms think it is popular and show crap to more people. I think there are a few questions to ask about this: Is it possible for social media platforms to stop their amplification of propaganda and scams? If it is possible but some of them don't, why not? Finally, is it in the best interest of the companies in the long-run to allow this manipulation of their platforms?[Scammers and foreign operatives are] exploiting flaws in platforms, and pose a structural threat to the integrity of platforms.

Humans (Mostly) Love Trash Robots SoylentNews
Simple robots wander NYC asking for trash and recycling, and it's adorable:
My favorite approach to human-robot interaction is minimalism. I've met a lot of robots, and some of the ones that have most effectively captured my heart are those that express themselves through their fundamental simplicity and purity of purpose. What's great about simple, purpose-driven robots is that they encourage humans to project needs and wants and personality onto them, letting us do a lot of the human-robot-interaction (HRI) heavy lifting.
In terms of simple, purpose-driven robots, you can't do much better than a robotic trash barrel (or bin or can or what have you). And in a paper presented at HRI 2023 this week, researchers from Cornell explored what happened when random strangers interacted with a pair of autonomous trash barrels in NYC, with intermittently delightful results.
What's especially cool about this, is how much HRI takes place around these robots that have essentially no explicit HRI features, since they're literally just trash barrels on wheels. They don't even have googly eyes! However, as the video notes, they're controlled remotely by humans, so a lot of the movement-based expression they demonstrate likely comes from a human sourcewhether or not that's intentional. [...]

BREIN Shut Down 449 Pirate Sites & Services in 2022 TorrentFreak
Predicting whether specific torrent sites, streaming
portals, or IPTV services will still be around in five years time,
is difficult at best. At worst, almost impossible.
Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN has been tackling pirates of all types for the last 25 years. Not only has it seen huge numbers come and go, BREIN can claim direct responsibility for thousands going offline. A relentless production line of pirate platforms means that BREIN being around in five years time seems easier to predict.
458 Investigations, 449 Sites/Services Removed
Published this week, BREINs annual report for 2022 covers enforcement actions carried out on behalf of rightsholders across most sectors, including movies, TV shows, music, games, and publishing.
BREIN says it completed 458 investigations in 2022, leading to 449 illegal sites/services being removed from the internet. BREIN refrains from publicly naming its targets but these figures certainly arent unusual. BREIN reported the shutdown of 349 infringing platforms in 2021 and 466 in 2020.
While sites returning under new branding may play some role in these persistently high numbers, the fact that full-blown pirate sites can now be deployed in minutes could be a more significant factor. But whatever the circumstances, BREIN has a tool for every occasion.
Preventing Big Sites From Getting Bigger
The Netherlands has long been associated with large piracy platforms but not necessarily because they were operated or hosted there. BREINs persistence on the legal front means that some of the largest torrent sites The Pirate Bay, RARBG, 1337x, YTS, EZTV, LimeTorrents and KickassTorrents variants are now dynamically blocked by major ISPs under the terms of a Website Blocking Covenant.
At the end of 2022, 196 proxies and mirrors were also blocked by IP address and/or DNS. BREIN further reports that an additional 328 proxies were stopped by other means last year.
Until relatively recently the sites mentioned above could still be found in Googles search results, but BREIN helped to change that too.
In cooperation with Google late 2021, Pirate Bay domains...

Kaspersky released a new decryptor for Conti-based ransomware Security Affairs
In March 2022, a Ukrainian security researcher has leaked the source code from the Conti ransomware operation to protest the gangs position on the conflict.
After the leak of the source code, an unknown ransomware group attacks aimed at companies and state institutions.
In late February 2023, Kaspersky researchers uncovered a new portion of leaked data published on forums and noticed the presence of 258 private keys. The leak also included source code and some pre-compiled decryptors, which allowed the researchers to release
The malware variant whose keys were leaked, had been discovered by Kaspersky specialists in December 2022. This strain was used in multiple attacks against companies and state institutions. states Kaspersky.
The leaked private keys are located in 257 folders (only one of these folders contains two keys). Some of them contain previously generated decryptors and several ordinary files: documents, photos, etc. Presumably the latter are test files a couple of files that the victim sends to the attackers to make sure that the files can be decrypted.
The researchers added all 258 keys to the latest build of Kasperskys utility RakhniDecryptor 1.40.0.00. Users can download the decryptor from the Kasperskys No Ransom site.
For many consecutive years, ransomware has remained a major tool used by cybercrooks. However, because we have studied the TTPs of various ransomware gangs and found out that many of them operate in similar ways, preventing attacks becomes easier. The decryption tool against a new Conti-based modification is already available on our No Ransom webpage. However, we would like to emphasize that the best strategy is to strengthen defenses and stop the attackers at early stages of their intrusion, preventing ransomware deployment and minimizing the consequences of the attack, said Fedor Sinitsyn, lead malware analyst at Kaspersky.

Its a 486 Computer, On a Breadboard Hackaday
Ever since the 1970s, a frequent project has been to take a microprocessor and construct a computer system on a breadboard or stripboard. Usually these machines feature a familiar 8-bit processor such as a 6502 or a Z80 because of their breadboard-friendly DIP packages, but there is surprisingly little reason why some of the more recent silicon cant be treated in the same way. [FoxTech] is leading the way on this, by making a breadboard computer using an 80486DX.
A 1990-era 32-bit desktop CPU seems unpromising territory for this application, but its architecture is surprisingly accessible. It needs a breakout board to gain access to its various lines, but beyond that it can be interfaced to in a very similar way to those earlier chips.
So far there are two videos in the series, which weve placed below the break. The first one introduces the project and shows the basic set-up. A 486 running NOPs may produce a pretty light show, but as he starts to show in the second video, its capable of more. The eventual aim is to have a simple but fully functional breadboard computer, so hes starting with logic to decode the 32-bit bus on the 486 into the 8-bit bus hes going to use.
Its fascinating to learn about how the 32-bit 486 handles its interfacing and deals with four bytes at...

Asus Announces RISC-V Tinker Board Raspberry Pi Rival SoylentNews
Chances its Arm that maker community is looking for a fresh SBC:
Asus has unveiled a RISC-V model in its range of Tinker Board single board computer (SBC) systems, which up until now have all been Arm-based. However, it seems users should not expect too much in the way of performance from this first device.
The Tinker Board has been around since 2017 as Asus' answer to the Raspberry Pi, even keeping the same form factor and GPIO pinout in some models. Like the Pi, they have been based on various Arm-based system-on-chip (SoC) hardware.
Announced this week, the Tinker V is powered by a 64-bit RISC-V chip and aimed at embedded and IoT applications, but like other Tinker Boards and the Raspberry PI, is likely to find its way into the hands of makers and enthusiasts as well.
According to Asus, Tinker V "provides impressive power, comprehensive functionality and rich connectivity, making it the perfect choice for a diverse range of industrial IoT applications".
However, it is based on a 1GHz Renesas RZ/Five chip, which has just a single CPU core, the AX45MP designed by Andes Technology, whereas most rival products sport multiple processor cores.

US govt agencies released a joint alert on the Lockbit 3.0 ransomware Security Affairs
The US government released a joint advisory that provides technical details about the operation of the Lockbit 3.0 ransomware gang.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) released a joint advisory that provides indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with the notorious LockBit 3.0 ransomware.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), CISA, and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) has released a joint cybersecurity advisory (CSA), #StopRansomware: LockBit 3.0. This joint advisory details known indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that FBI investigations correlated with LockBit 3.0 ransomware as recently as March 2023. reads the advisory published by US agencies. LockBit 3.0 functions as an affiliate-based ransomware variant and is a continuation of LockBit 2.0 and LockBit.
The Lockbit gang has been active since at least 2019 and today it is one of the most active ransomware groups offering a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.
The LockBit 3.0 ransomware (aka LockBit Black) was launched in June 2022 and is a continuation of previous versions of the ransomware, LockBit 2.0 (released in mid-2021), and LockBit.

Maternal Deaths in the U.S. Keep Climbing SoylentNews
The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the higher rate in 2020 and 2021:
An increasing number of U.S. women are dying during pregnancy or soon after giving birth, according to the latest data on the maternal mortality rate.
In 2021, there were 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with 23.8 per 100,000 in 2020 and 20.1 in 2019, the National Center for Health Statistics reports March 16. The U.S. rate greatly exceeds those of other high-income countries. The total number of U.S. maternal deaths rose from 861 in 2020 to 1,205 in 2021.
There remains a wide disparity in the maternal mortality rate for Black women, at 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with white women, at 26.6 per 100,000. Many social determinants of health underlie this gap, including differences in the quality of care that Black women receive before, during and after pregnancy.
The NCHS report doesn't discuss the reasons behind the increase for 2021. But COVID-19 contributed to a quarter of maternal deaths in 2020 and 2021, the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported in October. The pandemic also contributed to the mortality disparity between Black and white women, the GAO found, worsening existing structural inequities that lead to such issues as barriers to getting health care (SN: 4/10/20).
The U.S. maternal mortality rate has risen overall since 2018. The highest rate is among non-Hispanic Black women compared with Hispanic women and non-Hispanic white women.
The maternal deaths captured by the NCHS report are those that occur during pregnancy or within 42 days of the end of the pregnancy, "from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management." These causes include hemorrhaging, infections and high blood pressure disorders such as eclampsia.
The report excludes deaths after 42 days and up to the first year after birth. But 30 percent of pregnancy-related deaths occur during this period, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in September, from an analysis of the years 2017 to 2019.

Meet the New Moteus BLDC Controller Board, the N1 Hackaday
[Josh] over at mjbots just released a moteus-n1. One change is that the volume and footprint size has been reduced. Considering many people, [Josh] included, use these controllers to operate robotic dogs, smaller is better. The previous moteus controller maxed out at 44 V, but the n1 can run at up to 54 V, allowing use of 48 V power supplies. And [Josh] improved the interface circuitry, making it much more flexible than before. This comes at an increased price, but he sells both versions parts availability permitting. And like the previous versions of the moteus controller, this is an open source project and youre free to build it yourself. You can check out the complete design package at the projects GitHub repository.
One helpful point is that the firmware for the n1 is the same, it simply enables new features related to the I/O ports. This means a user could swap in a new controller with no impact to their system. Maintaining firmware compatibility was just one of the challenges [Josh] faced along the way. Squeezing addit...

National Academies: We Cant Define Race, So Stop Using It in Science SoylentNews
For genetics, use scientifically relevant descriptions, not outdated social ideas:
With the advent of genomic studies, it's become ever more clear that humanity's genetic history is one of churn. Populations migrated, intermingled, and fragmented wherever they went, leaving us with a tangled genetic legacy that we often struggle to understand. The environmentin the form of disease, diet, and technologyalso played a critical role in shaping populations.
But this understanding is frequently at odds with the popular understanding, which often views genetics as a determinative factor and, far too often, interprets genetics in terms of race. Worse still, even though race cannot be defined or quantified scientifically, popular thinking creeps back into scientific thought, shaping the sort of research we do and how we interpret the results.
Those are some of the conclusions of a new report produced by the National Academies of Science. Done at the request of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the report calls for scientists and the agencies that fund them to stop thinking of genetics in terms of race, and instead to focus on things that can be determined scientifically.
The report is long overdue. Genetics data has revealed that the popular understanding of race, developed during a time when white supremacy was widely accepted, simply doesn't make any sense. In the popular view, for instance, "Black" represents a single, homogenous group. But genomic data makes clear that populations in Sub-Saharan Africa are the most genetically diverse on Earth.
And, like everywhere else, populations in this region haven't stayed static. While some groups remained isolated from each other, the vast Bantu expansion touched most of the continent. Along the coast of East Africa, the history of interchange with Mideastern traders can be detected in many groups. There's also a tendency to treat African Americans as being equivalent to African, when the former population carries the legacy of genetic mixing with European populationsoften not by choice.
Similar things are true for every population we have looked at, no matter where on the globe they reside. Treating any of these populations as a monolithic, uniform groupas a race, in other wordsmakes no scientific sense.

Tomorrow Biostasis: The Berlin Startup That Wants to Bring You Back from the Dead Lifeboat News: The Blog
What if death was not the end? What if, instead of saying our final goodbyes to loved ones, we could freeze their bodies and bring them back to life once medical technology has advanced enough to cure their fatal illnesses? This is the mission of Tomorrow Biostasis, a Berlin-based startup that specializes in cryopreservation.
Cryopreservation, also known as biostasis or cryonics, is the process of preserving a human body (or brain) in a state of suspended animation, with the hope that it can be revived in the future when medical technology has advanced enough to treat the original cause of death. This may seem like science fiction, but it is a legitimate scientific procedure, and Tomorrow Biostasis is one of the few companies in the world that offers this service.
Dr Emil Kendziorra, co-founder and CEO of Tomorrow Biostasis explained that the goal of cryopreservation is to extend life by preserving the body until a cure can be found for the original illness. He emphasized that cryopreservation is not a form of immortality, but rather a way to give people a second chance at life.

The White House Might be Running Out of Time to Bring Back Net Neutrality SoylentNews
Shortly after coming into office, President Joe Biden moved to restore net neutrality. He signed a sweeping executive order to promote competition, calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to bring back the Obama-era internet rules rolled back by the Trump administration.
But close to two years later, the FCC remains deadlocked with only four of its five commissioner slots filled and Biden may be running out of time.
Biden's pick for a new FCC commissioner was Gigi Sohn, a former FCC official and public interest advocate. Sohn would have secured a long-awaited Democratic majority at the agency. After she was nominated in October 2021, however, a well-funded opposition organized a brutal opposition campaign against her. The culture-war campaign called Sohn an "extremist" and a "censor" because of past tweets criticizing Fox News and former President Donald Trump, largely ignoring her decades-long professional record. After more than 16 months and three separate confirmation hearings, Sohn withdrew her nomination earlier this month, citing the "unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks" by broadband and cable lobbyists and their friends.
It's unlikely Biden will pick someone as critical of cable companies again but Republicans could try to thwart even a centrist candidate
Now, the White House has been forced to start over, prolonging a vacancy that continues to obstruct the administration's broadband agenda. The White House hasn't announced a new nominee or when they're hoping to confirm someone, but it's unlikely that Biden would pick someone as critical of cable companies as Sohn. Republicans and "dark money" groups have already proved that they're willing to spend millions to block progressive nominees. With so little time left in Biden's first term, stakeholders may even try to thwart a more moderate nominee, especially if there's an opportunity to continue the stalemate past the 2024 election.

How tumors transform blood vessels Lifeboat News: The Blog
Increasingly dense cell clusters in growing tumors convert blood vessels into fiber-filled channels. This makes immune cells less effective, as findings by researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Strasbourg suggest. Their research is published in Matrix Biology.
It was almost ten years ago that researchers first observed that tumors occurring in different cancersincluding colorectal cancer, breast cancer and melanomaexhibit channels leading from the surface to the inside of the cell cluster. But how these channels form, and what functions they perform, long remained a mystery.
Through a series of elaborate and detailed experiments, the research groups led by Viola Vogel, Professor of Applied Mechanobiology at ETH Zurich, and Gertraud Orend from the University of Strasbourg have found possible answers to these questions. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that these channels, which the researchers have dubbed tumor tracks, were once blood vessels.

New ocean in making? Africa slowly splitting into two, scientists predict natures rarest move Lifeboat News: The Blog
As Africa splits into two pieces, scientists predict the beginning of the rarest natural phenomena. Researchers believe that in the distant future, the creation of a new ocean may result in the division of Africa into two pieces. The separation of two significant portions of the continent may eventually lead to the formation of a new body of water. In millions of years, landlocked nations like Zambia and Uganda might have their own coasts.
The splitting of an one tectonic plate into two or more tectonic plates divided by divergent plate borders is known as rifting, according to Science Direct. Where the Earths tectonic plates separate, a lowland area known as the rift valley arises, according to National Geographic.
These rift valleys can be found both on land and on the oceans floor. According to IFLScience research, this event dates back at least 138 million years to the time when South America and Africa became separated into separate continents. According to NBC News, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden were formed as a result of the Arabian plate moving away from Africa for the past 30 million years.

Mirror-imaging in molecules can modify neuron signaling Lifeboat News: The Blog
With the aid of some sea slugs, University of NebraskaLincoln chemists have discovered that one of the smallest conceivable tweaks to a biomolecule can elicit one of the grandest conceivable consequences: directing the activation of neurons.
Their discovery came from investigating peptides, the short chains of amino acids that can transmit signals among cells, including neurons, while populating the central nervous systems and bloodstreams of most animals. Like many other molecules, an amino acid in a peptide can adopt one of two forms that feature the same atoms, with the same connectivity, but in mirror-image orientations: L and D.
Chemists often think of those two orientations as the left and right hands of a molecule. The L orientation is by far the more common in peptides, to the point of being considered the default. But when enzymes do flip an L to a D, the seemingly minor about-face can turn, say, a potentially therapeutic molecule into a toxic one, or vice versa.

A scalable and programmable quantum phononic processor based on trapped ions Lifeboat News: The Blog
Quantum computing systems have the potential to outperform classical computers on some tasks, helping to solve complex real-world problems in shorter times. Research teams worldwide have thus been trying to realize this quantum advantage over traditional computers, by creating and testing different quantum systems.
Researchers at Tsinghua University recently developed a new programmable quantum phononic processor with trapped ions. This processor, introduced in a paper in Nature Physics, could be easier to scale up in size than other previously proposed photonic quantum processors, which could ultimately enable better performances on complex problems.
Originally, we were interested in the proposal of Scott Aaronson and others about Boson sampling, which might show the quantum advantages of simple linear optics and photons, Kihwan Kim, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told Phys.org. We were wondering if it is possible to realize it with the phonons in a trapped ion system.

RMS Pre-LibrePlanet Talk (Richard Stallman Gave a Talk
Hours Ago)
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: Richard Stallmans talk is now available above (skip to 18:20 to get to the talk; the volume was improved over time, corrected at the senders end)
The video above is a recording of the talk Richard M. Stallman (RMS) gave some hours ago. It was a live stream, broadcast by the Free Software Foundation. He founded it many years ago (the GNU Project turns 40 later this year and he turned 70 yesterday). The talk itself starts about 20 minutes into the video above; I had started recording about 15 minutes before the scheduled time of the talk.
At the start, Dr. Stallman notes that he cannot comment much about technical aspects of Rust, but he remains concerned (for a year already) about the trademark aspects. He is still receiving no clarification or assurances on the matter. Previously he suggested forking it and calling it something like crust (in a talk or a session he did with several Brazilian hackers).
Openwashing is not alluded to by that name. But he explains why Linux (the kernel) is non-free. He then comments on Debian including blobs in the installer (as of months ago). He mentions Respect(s) Your Freedom and alludes to various peripherals with code inside them. He suggests not being too judgemental of such microprocessors. Cameras, keyboards, and memory sticks, he says, typically have some small computers in them. Our ultimate goal is that all those should contain free software also, he stresses. To quote: We hope to hope that in the future well be able to [...] replace the non-free programs at a lower level of the products.
He asks for a distinction between software coming inside a piece of hardware and stuff the user adds to it later. These are growing challenges.

Artistic Attempt To Send Digital Signals Via Fungus Lifeboat News: The Blog
Art projects can fundamentally be anything you like, as long as you say theyre art at the end of it all. They dont always work, or work well, but they often explore new ideas. Often, artists working on installations fall back on similar tools and techniques used by the maker community. [Julian] is no exception, and his Biotic Explorers work has many touchstones that will be familiar to the Hackaday set.
The Biotic Explorers Research Group is a broad art project, involving the creation of a fictitious scientific association. [Julian] created imaginary scientists, reports, and research to flesh out this world. The project culminates in the development of a prototype communications system, which uses pH sensors at either end of a fungal network in soil to send messages.
Liquids are applied to change the pH of the system, which can be picked up at the other end of the soil bed. The pH levels are read as digital signals, with pH levels either side of neutral reading as high and low bits. pH sensors can be expensive, so [Julian] chose the cheapest available, and tapped into their LCD display lines to read their output into an microcontroller. The system displays data using commonly available OLED displays, and hobby servo motors are used to control the dispensing of liquid.

Getting To Zettascale Without Needing Multiple Nuclear Power Plants:
There's no resting on your laurels in the HPC world, no time to sit back and bask in a hard-won accomplishment that was years in the making. The ticker tape has only now been swept up in the wake of the long-awaited celebration last year of finally reaching the exascale computing level, with the Frontier supercomputer housed at the Oak Ridge National Labs breaking that barrier.
With that in the rear-view mirror, attention is turning to the next challenge: Zettascale computing, some 1,000 times faster than what Frontier is running. In the heady months after his heralded 2021 return to Intel as CEO, Pat Gelsinger made headlines by saying the giant chip maker was looking at 2027 to reach zettascale.
Lisa Su, the chief executive officer who has led the remarkable turnaround at Intel's chief rival AMD, took the stage at ISSCC 2023 to talk about zettascale computing, laying out a much more conservative some would say reasonable timeline.
Looking at supercomputer performance trends over the past two-plus decades and the ongoing innovation in computing think advanced package technologies, CPUs and GPUs, chiplet architectures, the pace of AI adoption, among others Su calculated that the industry could reach the zettabyte scale within the next 10 years or so.

Feds Charge NY Man as BreachForums Boss Pompompurin Krebs on Security
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) this week arrested a New York man on suspicion of running BreachForums, a popular English-language cybercrime forum where some of the world biggest hacked databases routinely show up for sale. The forums administrator Pompompurin has been a thorn in the side of the FBI for years, and BreachForums is widely considered a reincarnation of RaidForums, a remarkably similar crime forum that the FBI infiltrated and dismantled in 2022.
Federal agents carting items out of Fitzpatricks home on March 15. Image: News 12 Westchester.
In an affidavit filed with the District Court for the Southern District of New York, FBI Special Agent John Longmire said that at around 4:30 p.m. on March 15, 2023, he led a team of law enforcement agents that made a probable cause arrest of a Conor Brian Fitzpatrick in Peekskill, NY.
When I arrested the defendant on March 15, 2023, he stated to me in substance and in part that: a) his name was Conor Brian Fitzpatrick; b) he used the alias pompompurin/ and c) he was the owner and administrator of BreachForums the data breach website referenced in the Complaint, Longmire wrote.
Pompompurin has been something of a nemesis to the FBI for several years. In November 2021, KrebsOnSecurity broke the news that thousands of fake emails about a cybercrime investigation were blasted out from the FBIs email systems and Internet addresses.
Pompompurin took credit for that stunt, and said he was able to send the FBI email blast by exploiting a flaw in an FBI portal designed to share information with state and local law enforcement authorities. The FBI later acknowledged that a software misconfiguration allowed someone to send the fake emails.
In December, 2022, KrebsOnSecurity broke the news that hackers active on BreachForums had infiltrated the FBIs InfraGard program, a vetted FBI program designed to build cyber and physical threat information sharing partnerships with experts in the private sector. The hackers impersonated the CEO of a major financial company, applied for InfraGard membership in the CEOs name, and were granted admission to the community.

Broken Pocket Watch Becomes Pocket Sundial Hackaday
Pocket watches are all well and good, but they have some caveats. They either need regular rewinding, or they need batteries. Sundials on the other hand need only the light from our One True Sun. [JGJMatt] has just the project to convert your broken or disused pocket watches to the solar way of telling the time.
The key is to replace the clockwork internals and face of the pocket watch with a sundial instead. The first step is to create a face for the watch marked out for sundial use. [JGJMatt] explains how to do this with a variety of CNC, painting, or etching methods. He also explains how to use simple tools to generate a sundial design thats ideally suited to your geographical location. This includes methods for aligning the sundial to True North or True South with an offset compared to Magnetic North or Magnetic South. This allows the sundial to be as accurate as possible.

Everything Everywhere All at Once Piracy Skyrockets After Oscar Win TorrentFreak
The Oscars are the most anticipated movie awards show
of the year, closely followed by hundreds of millions of movie fans
around the world.
This years Academy Awards ceremony received plenty of attention as well, with one film standing out from all the rest.
With seven awards overall, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the star of the night. The independent film impressed the voters, despite having a relatively tiny budget compared to competitors including Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water.
The success didnt come as a complete surprise. The film had already scooped up dozens of accolades, including two Golden Globes, but winning seven Oscars was an entirely different level.
Oscar Boost
Renewed attention from the press and film fanatics boosted interest among the broader public. This typically increases legal sales and views on streaming platforms, especially for relatively small releases.
Everything Everywhere All at Once is no longer running in theaters, so there is no bump there. That said, there is another area where we observed a massive spike in interest, although thats unlikely to please the filmmakers.
The Oscars typically have a direct impact on piracy activity, and the big Oscars winner is no exception. Based on a sample of torrent activity tracked by IKnow, we can report that pirated downloads of Everything Everywhere All at Once skyrocketed this week.
Oscar Piracy
Before discussing the numbers, its important to highlight that pirated copies of the Oscars winner have already been circulating for months. The first high-quality copy leaked last May and it was in the top ten most pirated films for several weeks in a row.
Since its release, the film has been illegally downloaded and streamed millions of times. In January of this year, we observed two modest spikes in downloads, once after the Golden Globes win a...

In Wild Hacking Spree, Hackers Accessed Federal Law Enforcement Database SoylentNews
The U.S. government database provided access to a treasure trove of sensitive data. "I can request information on anyone in the U.S.," one of the alleged hackers wrote:
Two men, one of whom previously presented themselves as an independent security researcher to Motherboard, allegedly went on a wide spanning hacking spree that included breaking into a federal U.S. law enforcement database; using a compromised Bangladeshi police officer's email to fraudulently requesting user data from a social media company; and even trying to buy services from a facial recognition company which doesn't sell products to the wider public.
[...] Sagar Steven Singh, 19, was arrested in Rhode Island on Tuesday; Nicholas Ceraolo, 25, remains at large with his location listed as Queens, New York, a press release from the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York says. "Singh and Ceraolo unlawfully used a police officer's stolen password to access a restricted database maintained by a federal law enforcement agency that contains (among other data) detailed, nonpublic records of narcotics and currency seizures, as well as law enforcement intelligence reports," it states.
[...] That pursuit of personal information is what allegedly drew Singh and Ceraolo to breaking into various law enforcement accounts. In one case, the pair allegedly used a police officer's credentials to access a web portal maintained by a U.S. federal law enforcement agency.

EPO and the GCC Meeting
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: The EPOs management is lying to staff (even right to their faces!) and it is actively obstructing attempts to step back into compliance with the law; elected staff representatives have produced detailed documents that explain the nature of some of the problems theyre facing
THE
document discussed above [PDF] is very long. It
can help explain internal EPO
affairs to outsiders i.e. people to whom EPO blunders are known
only through media channels (those that Benot Battistelli and Antnio Campinos have not intimidated into
silence with threats of lawsuits and various sanctions).
The Central Staff Committee (CSC) does a good job explaing the hoax studies of the administration, pretending that the EPO is poor in order to lessen the compensation to staff and thus deter/discourage properly-trainied and experienced staff from joining/staying. Todays EPO is gradually running out of talent; as EPO insiders have warned repeatedly, this will result in further collapses, including patent quality and validity issues (illegitimate patents being granted, including European software patents). The biggest stakeholders in the EPO have already complained about the quality of European Patents; they too stand to lose because many of these patents can be used against them; only patent litigation firms stand to benefit regardless of the merit of cases.
The covering message (like cover letter) for the above PDF stated what was discussed, albeit the cronies of the President didnt bother discussing much. They just said yes to proposals. Heres the outline:

One of the first tools that is added to a toolbox when working on electronics, perhaps besides a multimeter, is a soldering iron.

This specific technique involves removing a large connector from a PCB. Typically either a heat gun would be used, which might damage the PCB, or a tedious process involving a desoldering tool or braided wick might be tried.

With everything connected to solder and wire, the soldering iron is simply pressed into this amalgamation and the connector will fall right out of the board, and the wire can simply be dropped away from the PCB along with most of the solder.

Precise Solar Observations Fed Millions in Ancient Mexico SoylentNews
Aztec farming calendar accurately tracked seasons, leap years:
Without clocks or modern tools, ancient Mexicans watched the sun to maintain a farming calendar that precisely tracked seasons and even adjusted for leap years.
Before the Spanish arrival in 1519, the Basin of Mexico's agricultural system fed a population that was extraordinarily large for the time. Whereas Seville, the largest urban center in Spain, had a population of fewer than 50,000, the Basin, now known as Mexico City, was home to as many as 3 million people.
To feed so many people in a region with a dry spring and summer monsoons required advanced understanding of when seasonal variations in weather would arrive. Planting too early, or too late, could have proved disastrous. The failure of any calendar to adjust for leap-year fluctuations could also have led to crop failure.
Though colonial chroniclers documented the use of a calendar, it was not previously understood how the Mexica, or Aztecs, were able to achieve such accuracy. New UC Riverside research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrates how they did it. They used the mountains of the Basin as a solar observatory, keeping track of the sunrise against the peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
"We concluded they must have stood at a single spot, looking eastwards from one day to another, to tell the time of year by watching the rising sun," said Exequiel Ezcurra, distinguished UCR professor of ecology who led the research.
To find that spot, the researchers studied Mexica manuscripts. These ancient texts referred to Mount Tlaloc, which lies east of the Basin. The research team explored the high mountains around the Basin and a temple at the mountain's summit. Using astronomical computer models, they confirmed that a long causeway structure at the temple aligns with the rising sun on Feb. 24, the first day of the Aztec new year.

Baidu Shares Fall After Ernie AI Chatbot Demo Disappoints SoylentNews
Shares of Baidu fell as much as 10 percent on Thursday after the web search company showed only a pre-recorded video of its AI chatbot Ernie in the first public release of China's answer to ChatGPT.
The Beijing-based tech company has claimed Ernie will remake its business and for weeks talked up plans to incorporate generative artificial intelligence into its search engine and other products.
But on Thursday, millions of people tuning in to the event were left with little idea of whether Baidu's chatbot could compete with ChatGPT.
[...]
"We can only explore by ourselves. Training ChatGPT took OpenAI more than a year, and it took them another year to tune GPT-4," said one Baidu employee. "It means we're two years behind."Baidu did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

HinataBot, a new Go-Based DDoS botnet in the threat landscape Security Affairs
A new Golang-based DDoS botnet, tracked as HinataBot, targets routers and servers by exploiting known vulnerabilities.
Akamai researchers spotted a new DDoS Golang-based botnet, dubbed HinataBot, which has been observed exploiting known flaws to compromise routers and servers.
The experts reported that the HinataBot bot was seen being distributed since the beginning of 2023 and its operators are actively updating it.
The name Hinata comes after a character from the popular anime series, Naruto.
Akamais SIRT recently discovered the new bot within HTTP and SSH honeypots, it stood out due to its large size and the lack of specific identification around its newer hashes.
The sample captured by the experts abuses old vulnerabilities and weak credentials, the researchers reported that it attempts to exploit flaws in the miniigd SOAP service on Realtek SDK devices (CVE-2014-8361), Huawei HG532 routers (CVE-2017-17215), and exposed Hadoop YARN servers (CVE N/A).
HinataBot supports multiple methods of communication, including both dialing out and listening for incoming connections. The botnet can launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) flooding attacks that relies on protocols such as HTTP, UDP, TCP, and ICMP to send HTTP and UDP attacks.
Akamai said that by reverse engineering the bot and imitating the command and control (C2) server, was able to test the offensive capabilities of the botnet by running two attack methods (HTTP and UDP) in a 10-second period.
The http_flood generated 3.4 MB of packet capture data and pushed 20,430 HTTP requests. The request sizes ranged from 484 to 589 bytes per reque...

Eight Graphs That Explain Software Engineering Salaries in 2023 IEEE Spectrum
Every year, online job search firms collect data about the salaries, skills, and overall job market for tech professionals, generally focusing on software engineers
The numbers from job search firms Dice and Hired have been released. These 2022 numbers have been eagerly anticipated, given the turmoil generated by a spate of tech layoffs in the latter part of the year, which Dice estimates at more than 140,000. The data they collect doesnt allow for apples-to-apples comparisons, but Ive read through both reports, pulled out data from past years to give the numbers some perspective when possible, and summarized it in eight charts. Dices numbers come from a survey administered to its registered job seekers and site visitors between 16 August 2022 and 17 October 2022, for a total of 7,098 completed surveys. Hireds analysis included data from 68,500 job candidates and 494,000 interview requests collected from the site between January 2021 through December 2022, supplemented by a survey of 1,300 software engineers.
Tech salaries jump, but dont keep up with inflation
According to Dices numbers, tech salaries grew 2.3 percent in 2022 compared with 2021, reflecting a steady upward trend since 2017 (with 2020 omitted due to the pandemic disruption). However, its clear that the 2022 news isnt so good when considering inflation. These numbers have been adjusted from those previously reported by IEEE Spectrum; Dice recently tightened its survey to focus on tech professionals in more tech-specific job functions.
Whats the best-paying job in tech?
If you want the highest pay, its a no-brainer: Get yourself into the C-suite. That is not, of course, a particularly useful takeaway from Dices data. Perhaps of more interest is that scrum masters are com...

Top 5 Insider Threats to Look Out For in 2023 Security Affairs
Unquestionably, insider threats is one of the most neglected aspects of cybersecurity and some companies fail to recognize associated dangers.
Cyberattacks are growing more complex as technology advances. Many businesses concentrate their cybersecurity efforts solely on external attacks, which leaves more openings for internal risks. Some companies fail to recognise the danger of losing confidential information owing to employee negligence or malice. Unquestionably, insider threats is one of the most neglected aspects of cybersecurity. According to statistics on insider threats, these threats may originate from employees, business contractors, or other reliable partners with simple access to your network. However, insider threat reports and recent developments have shown a sharp rise in the frequency of insider attacks. Because of these, cybersecurity professionals are now paying more attention to the detrimental effects of insider attacks.
In general, security experts need more confidence in their ability to identify and thwart insider threats successfully. 74% of respondents in an insider attack said their company was moderately to extremely vulnerable. 74% of respondentsa 6% increase from 2021also claim that insider threat assaults have become more regular. In 2022, 60% of respondents said they had an insider attack, while 8% said more than 20. Insider assaults are more challenging to identify and thwart than external attacks, according to 48% of respondents. It can be challenging for defences to distinguish between insider threats and regular user activity since insider threats employ genuine accounts, passwords, and IT technologies. Overall, insider threats are becoming a more significant threat. These findings imply that security teams should prepare for them in 2023.
Organisations must be able to address the risks from malicious insiders who intentionally steal sensitive data for personal reasons and users who can accidentally expose information due to negligence or simple mistakes.
Here are the top 5 threats security teams should look out for in 2023:
Employee Negligence
Employee carelessness or ignorance may result in unintentional data leaks, improper handling of sensitive information, or a failure to adhere to security policies and procedures. Negligence is to blame for more than two of every three insider incidents. Workers could not be cognizant of the possible hazards they bring to the company or might not prioritise security measures. They act carelessly, repeating passwords for personal and professional accounts or leaving flash drives wit...

What Is Teslas Mystery Magnet? IEEE Spectrum
Teslas investor day on 1 March began with a rambling, detailed discourse on energy and the environment before transitioning into a series of mostly predictable announcements and boasts. And then, out of nowhere, came an absolute bombshell: We have designed our next drive unit, which uses a permanent-magnet motor, to not use any rare-earth elements at all, declared Colin Campbell, Teslas director of power-train engineering.
It was a stunning disclosure that left most experts in permanent magnetism wary and perplexed. Alexander Gabay, a researcher at the University of Delaware, states flatly: I am skeptical that any non-rare-earth permanent magnet could be used in a synchronous traction motor in the near future. And at Uppsala University, in Sweden, Alena Vishina, a physicist, elaborates, Im not sure its possible to use only rare-earth-free materials to make a powerful and efficient motor.
The problem here is physics, which not even Tesla can alter.
And at a recent magnetics conference Ping Liu, a professor at the University of Texas, in Arlington, asked other researchers what they thought of Teslas announcement. No one fully understands this, he reports. (Tesla did not respond to an e-mail asking for elaboration of Campbells comment.)
Teslas technical prowess should never be underestimated. But on the other hand, the companyand in particular, its CEOhas a history of making sporadic sensational claims that dont pan out (were still waiting for that US $35,000 Model 3, for example).
The problem here is physics, which not even Tesla can alter. Permanent magnetism occurs in certain crystalline materials when the spins of electrons of some of the atoms in the crystal are forced to point in the same direction. The more of these aligned spins, the stronger the magnetism. For this, the ideal atoms are ones that have unpaired electrons swarming around the nucleus in what are known as...
