Not sure I would notice if the Denver Post wasn’t being delivered.
I canceled my subscription years ago. (Practice for cyberwar?)
Malware
attack disrupts delivery of L.A. Times and Tribune papers across the
U.S.
What first arose as a server outage was identified
Saturday as a malware attack, which appears to have originated from
outside the United States and hobbled computer systems and delayed
weekend deliveries of the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers
across the country.
Technology teams worked feverishly to quarantine
the computer virus, but it spread through Tribune Publishing’s
network and reinfected systems crucial to the news production and
printing process. Multiple newspapers around the country were
affected because they share a production platform.
Seems an awful long time to identify a bad card…
Report:
Huge CenturyLink outage caused by bad networking card in Colorado
… Brian
Krebs, a veteran security journalist, posted
a copy of a notice sent to CenturyLink’s “core customers”
to his Twitter feed Saturday that blamed a card at its data center in
Colorado for “propagating invalid frame packets across devices,”
causing a series of issues that forced the company to reboot much of
its networking equipment. It took CenturyLink more than two days
from when it first identified the issues to sound
the all-clear on Saturday morning, a
period during which 911 services in several states including
Washington were down or spotty.
… By the standards of modern cloud service
providers, a two-day outage
is an eternity. And it’s not clear how a single piece
of equipment could cause an outage of such magnitude given the layers
of redundancy that cloud providers build into their systems.
An
FCC investigation into the outage might turn up some answers,
unless CenturyLink is willing to post a moew detailed post-mortem on
the outage, which is becoming a standard part of incident response.
So why are ‘innocent’ drones coming to Gatwick
to die? Something fishy here.
Two drones
found at Gatwick airport but still no arrests
Sussex police have found two drones at the
perimeter of Gatwick airport but neither
is the one responsible for last week’s runway closures
and travel chaos, the force’s chief constable has revealed.
Probably cheap.
Wells Fargo
is paying $575 million to states to settle fake account claims
Over the past two years, Wells Fargo has faced
numerous lawsuits and government investigations stemming from a
cascade of business scandals.
On Friday, it took a step to put one batch of
accusations behind it.
The bank agreed to pay $575 million to all 50
states and the District of Columbia to settle civil charges related
to the bank's fake-accounts scandals.
The agreement, which applies to charges brought by
states' attorneys general, follows other fines and settlements Wells
Fargo (WFC)
has paid out since September 2016. That's when the bank admitted its
employees opened as many as 3.5 million fake bank and credit card
accounts without customers' knowledge.
Overreaction? If you can’t spend the day
texting, perhaps you will vote?
Bangladesh
shuts down mobile internet in lead up to election day
Bangladesh's telecoms regulator has ordered mobile
operators to shut down high-speed mobile internet services until
midnight Sunday, the day of a national
election.
… "The decision has been taken to prevent
rumours and propaganda surrounding the vote," Zakir Hussain Khan
said.
As Bangladeshis get set for Sunday's parliamentary
elections,
there are fears that violence and intimidation could keep many voters
away.
… A spokesman for the RAB, Bangladesh's elite
security force, said on Saturday they had arrested eight men for
spreading rumours on social
media before the poll.
