DDoS Attacks May Be the “New Normal”; Leaked Documents Reveal
Russia’s FSB Is Seeking to Build a Massive IoT Botnet
Documents
obtained from the Russian military by a hacking group indicate that
the country’s Federal Security Service (FSB) is actively working on
building a giant Internet of Things (IoT) botnet. The documents
specifically reference the infamous Mirai botnet as a source of
inspiration, indicating that the country is seeking the ability to
direct crippling distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against
rivals.
‘Mission
creep’ is inevitable. Some people notice but most of those who
should be informed won’t get the word.
Joe
Cadillic frames an app somewhat differently than law enforcement
does, no doubt. He writes:
How do you encourage people to turn against each other during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The answer is not that complicated, especially if you live in the City of Bellevue, Washington.
Four years ago, when the city created the MyBellvue app, it was touted as being a quick and easy way to report things like downed street signs, potholes, street light issues and noise complaints. Fast forward to 2020 and public fears of COVID-19 have encouraged law enforcement to turn neighbors into government snitches.

How
Tech’s Lobbyists Are Using the Pandemic to Make Gains
Last
month, lobbying groups representing advertising giants like Google
and Facebook asked California’s attorney general to wait to enforce
the state’s new online privacy rules given the
coronavirus ripping around the world.
In
Washington, lobbyists representing cloud computing giants like Amazon
pushed for more money to help federal employees work remotely.
And
Uber began reframing a longtime campaign to avoid classifying its
drivers as full-time employees through the urgency of a mounting
public health crisis.
The
coronavirus has created an opportunity for tech companies and their
lobbying operations to quietly push for long-held goals in the
frantic political and economic environment created by the outbreak.
