This sounds juvenile but I’m surprised North
Korea isn’t trying to rig a lottery somewhere.
Sean Poulter reports:
The
National Lottery is advising all 10.5million people
with online accounts to change their passwords following a security
breach ahead of tonight’s £14 million Euromillions draw.
The
move follows an attempt by hackers to access accounts using a
technique known as ‘credential stuffing’.

Is it time to start investigating the Board of
Directors? Do they know what their responsibilities are?
Report:
Wells Fargo investigation broadens to wealth division
… The Justice Department is now investigating
whether Wells Fargo made inappropriate recommendations or referrals,
or failed to inform customers about potential conflicts of interest,
the Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
No doubt it was just the AI having a joke.
Facebook
apologises for search suggestions of child abuse videos
… The social network’s search suggestions,
which are supposed to automatically offer the most popular search
terms to users, apparently broke around 4am in the UK, and started to
suggest unpleasant results for those who typed in “video of”.
Multiple
users
posted
examples on Twitter, with the site proposing searches including
“video of girl sucking dick under water”, “videos of sexuals”
and “video of little girl giving oral”. Others reported
similar results in other languages.
Even after the offensive search terms stopped
being displayed, users still reported odd algorithmic suggestions,
seemingly far from what Facebook would normally offer, such as “zodwa
wabantu videos and pics” (a South African celebrity) and “cristiano
ronaldo hala madrid king video call”.
Have they forgotten that monopoly thing they faced
a few years ago?
Microsoft
wants to force Windows 10 Mail users to use Edge for email links
Microsoft is testing a new
change to its future version of Windows 10 which will probably annoy
anyone using the operating system. The software giant revealed today
that “we will begin testing a change where links clicked on within
the Windows Mail app will open in Microsoft Edge.” The change
means if you have Chrome or Firefox set as your default browser in
Windows 10, Microsoft will simply ignore that and force you into Edge
when you click a link within the Mail app.
Worth a listen?
Why
Regulation Is a Tricky Business in the Sharing Economy
… New research from Sarah
Light, Wharton professor of legal studies and business ethics,
examines what role the federal government should play in regulating
these organizations. Her paper is titled, “The
Role of the Federal Government in Regulating the Sharing Economy,”
and it will appear in the forthcoming book, Cambridge Handbook
on the Law of the Sharing Economy. Light recently joined
Knowledge@Wharton to discuss what she’s uncovered.
An edited transcript of the conversation
