There is a deadline of September 1, 2025 to apply to become one of the advisors to the EC on this. Bert has himself spoken to the European Parliament on this topic earlier. End-to-end encryption is in the crosshairs, with the eradication of the last vestiges of online privacy if the degradation and addition of back doors continue and is codified into law.

It primarily serves as a fish farm.On April 7 its dam control system was breached by a Russian hacktivist group, Z-PENTEST (guess what the Z stands for). The main valve was put on maximum opening, increasing the water flow to maximum volume for four hours before the incident was detected; on April 10 the dam's owner alerted authorities.The hackers got in through a weak password -- the classical 123456, or risevatnet123, perhaps -- on the web interface used to control the dam. This web interface was directly connected to the Internet.

McGruber writes:A newly unsealed federal criminal indictment says North Korean criminals stole $1 million in cryptocurrency from Atlanta blockchain security startup Starter Labs."The defendants used fake and stolen personal identities to conceal their North Korean nationality, pose as remote IT workers, and exploit their victims' trust to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars," said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. "This indictment highlights the unique threat North Korea poses to companies that hire remote IT workers and underscores our resolve to prosecute any actor, in the United States or abroad, who steals from Georgia businesses."The FBI indicted Kim Kwang Jin, Kang Tae Bok, Jong Pong Ju and Chang Nam Il on wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges. According to the FBI, the men used fake and stolen identities to infiltrate the American business as remote IT workers. They then gained their employer's trust to gain access to the company's virtual currency and steal it.The Atlanta business and a Serbian company also targeted said they wouldn't have hired the men had they known they were North Korean citizens.All four men indicted are wanted. FBI agents are now offering a $5 million for information.The North Koreans worked for the Atlanta company for about two years before striking and cleaning out a cryptocurrency account.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
