Fast recovery by fast food? Maybe the ‘fast’ part translates?
KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell Ransomware Attack Shuts Down 300 Restaurants in the UK
KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell parent company Yum! Brands confirmed a ransomware attack that leaked company data and shut down restaurants in the United Kingdom.
… Nearly 300 restaurants in the United Kingdom closed for one day after a ransomware attack affected “certain information technology systems.”
However, Yum! quickly mitigated the ransomware attack, and all outlets resumed operations within 24 hours.
“With the ransomware being contained to a third of Yum! Brands UK outlets and the downtime being limited to 1 day – Yum! Brands have done relatively well recovering,” said Morten Gammelgard EVP, EMEA at BullWall. “The average amount of downtime for organizations when hit by Ransomware is approximately 24 days.”
A possible definition of Cyber War tools, but is it enough to generate an immediate response?

Ukraine Hit with New Golang-based 'SwiftSlicer' Wiper Malware in Latest Cyber Attack
… "When you think about it, the growth in wiper malware during a conflict is hardly a surprise," Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Geri Revay said in a report published this week. "It can scarcely be monetized. The only viable use case is destruction, sabotage, and cyberwar."
Makes you wonder what other ‘trigger words’ are in their list (and what words they ignore).
Gaggle Drops LGBTQ Keywords from Student Surveillance Tool Following Bias Concerns
Digital monitoring company Gaggle says it will no longer flag students who use words like “gay” and “lesbian” in school assignments and chat messages, a significant policy shift that follows accusations its software facilitated discrimination of LGBTQ teens in a quest to keep them safe.
A spokesperson for the company, which describes itself as supporting student safety and well-being, cited a societal shift toward greater acceptance of LGBTQ youth — rather than criticism of its product — as the impetus for the change as part of a “continuous evaluation and updating process.”
… Though Gaggle’s software is generally limited to monitoring school-issued accounts, including those by Google and Microsoft, the company recently acknowledged it can scan through photos on students’ personal cell phones if they plug them into district laptops.
I wonder if there are tools that would let me know if my writing (my blog?) has been used to train an AI.

How to Know if Your Images Trained an AI Model (and How to Opt Out)
To many people's disbelief, living artists are discovering that their art has been used to train AI models without their consent. Using a web tool called "Have I Been Trained?", you can know in a matter of minutes if your images were fed to Midjourney, NightCafe, and other popular AI image generators.
If you find your image in one of the datasets used to train these AI systems, don't despair. Some organizations have developed ways to opt out of this practice, keeping your images from being scrapped from the internet and passed on to AI companies.
