Ransomware gang coughs up decryptor after realizing they hit the police
Lawrence Abrams reports:
The AvosLocker ransomware operation provided a free decryptor after learning they encrypted a US government agency.
Last month, a US police department was breached by AvosLocker, who encrypted devices and stole data during the attack.
However, according to a screenshot shared by security researcher pancak3, after learning that the victim was a government agency, they provided a decryptor for free.

Perhaps Russia will claim they never invaded, but sent in some cyber tools instead?
Cyber Attacks an Expected Element of Military Strategy as Russia Deploys on the Ukraine Border
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to border tensions, but United States and British intelligence think that coordinated cyber attacks are a much more likely opening move than a physical incursion.
The New York Times reports that the US and UK have dispatched cyber warfare advisors to Ukraine to prepare for potential attacks. The prospect is not unprecedented, as Russia disabled Ukrainian power stations the last time tensions between the two countries escalated.
Perspective. I recall higher resolutions some years ago. It’s the speed that is new.
Chinese AI satellite takes ultra-high res images from orbit at speeds ‘never before seen’
China has developed a powerful AI satellite capable of taking hi-res images of cities in a matter of seconds.
Beijing-3, a small one-ton commercial satellite, can take images clear enough to be able to identify a military vehicle on the street and tell what type of weapon it might be carrying, according to researchers.
The satellite was launched by China in June and performed an in-depth scan of the central San Francisco Bay area, covering 1,470 square miles, the journal Spacecraft Engineering reports.
Most satellites observing the Earth must be stable when taking image because altitude control mechanisms can produce vibrations that blur the images.
But in the Chinese experiment on June 16, the satellite was able to change the angle of its camera’s line of sight to the ground when passing over the US.
The movement meant it could capture a larger area than satellites have been previously able to.
The pictures were taken at an altitude of 310 miles and had a resolution of 50 centimeters per pixel with the test showing the satellite could take images while its body was twisting at up to 10 degrees per second, a speed not seen on a satellite before.

January 1, 2022, is Public Domain Day
Duke Center for the Study of the Public Domain – Works from 1926 are open to all, as is a cornucopia of recorded music: an estimated 400,000 sound recordings: “On January 1, 2022, copyrighted works from 1926 will enter the US public domain, where they will be free for all to copy, share, and build upon. The line-up this year is stunning. It includes books such as A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh, Felix Salten’s Bambi, Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Langston Hughes’ The Weary Blues, and Dorothy Parker’s Enough Rope. There are scores of silent films—including titles featuring Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Greta Garbo, famous Broadway songs, and well-known jazz standards. But that’s not all. In 2022 we get a bonus: an estimated 400,000 sound recordings from before 1923 will be entering the public domain too!
