If they are not “state sponsored” they may
still be state trained. Does it benefit Russia to have some hackers
it can blame for true state sponsored hacks? I think it does.
France TV
Cyberattack Probe Focused on 'Russian Hackers'
The
investigation into the cyberattack
suffered by France's TV5Monde television channel in April is now
focusing on "a group of Russian hackers", a judicial source
told AFP on Tuesday.
The
cyberattack was carried out by unknown persons claiming to represent
the Islamic State group, who shut down transmissions and placed
jihadist propaganda messages on the station's website, and Facebook
and Twitter accounts.
But
confirming information first published by L'Express newspaper, the
judicial source said "the investigations are at this stage
looking towards a group of Russian hackers designated by the name
APT28."
In
a report to be published on Wednesday, L'Express said APT28, also
known as "Pawn
Storm", had previously tried to hack the White House and
NATO members, as well as targeting Russian dissidents and Ukrainian
activists.
Are
we getting closer to the true cost of sharing copyrighted material?
Will prices also drop a couple orders of magnitude? Or is it just
because they can now automate their offer to settle?
Like many other Hollywood studios, Warner Bros.
sees online piracy as a major threat to its revenues.
Torrent sites such as The Pirate Bay represent a
thorn in the side and the company is doing everything in its power to
limit the damage.
For Warner Bros. this includes targeting
individual users of these sites. Not just to warn them that they are
breaking the law, but also by demanding money from alleged pirates.
Just recently the Hollywood studio started sending
settlement demands to Internet subscribers whose accounts were used
to download and share an episode of the popular sitcom Friends.
… To resolve the matter Warner Bros. offers
the account holder an opportunity to settle the case, linking to the
page below where the recipient can submit a payment of $20 to avoid
further trouble.
… However, the automated settlement offers
haven’t been without controversy. Warner Bros. and Rightscorp, the
company behind the scheme, have been sued for abuse
and harassment by several accused downloaders.
This is interesting. Would this ruling also
impact the IRS?
Did A Judge
Just Undermine The Administrative State With SEC Ruling?
A federal judge’s ruling against the Securities
and Exchange Commission for using its own judges in an
insider-trading case might be looked at in hindsight as the beginning
of the end of an alternative system of justice that took root in the
New Deal but has raised serious constitutional questions ever since.
In a 45-page
ruling yesterday, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May in Atlanta
issued an injunction halting administrative law proceedings against
Charles Hill, a businessman the SEC has accused of reaping an illegal
$744,000 profit trading in Radian Systems stock. The judge ruled
that the agency violated the Appointments
Clause of the Constitution by subjecting Hill to proceedings
before an administrative law judge who isn’t directly accountable
to the President, officials in charge of the SEC or the courts.
While it’s just a single ruling by a single
judge on a seemingly arcane point of administrative law, the decision
echoes the deep concerns some judges and academics have about
extrajudicial proceedings, said Philip
Hamburger, a professor a Columbia Law School and author of “Is
Administrative Law Unlawful?,” a book that compares
the modern administrative state to the Star Chamber operated by King
James I.
I'm considering collecting Apps my students use –
particularly those they think help them learn. But I'm curious about
the “time wasters” too.
