The Russian military is clearly not what it once was. Soldiers walking away from their equipment? That must have come as a real shock to Putin.
Ukraine captures one of Russia's most advanced electronic warfare systems, which could reveal military secrets, reports say
… The Krasukha-4 command module was found abandoned on the outskirts of Kyiv partly damaged but otherwise intact, The Times of London reported.
… The system is designed to jam low-orbit satellites, drones, and missiles, but it is also believed to be able to track NATO aircraft, The Times said.
… It is believed that a Krasukha-4 system was used against Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones in Syria, interfering with their control signal and causing them to crash, according to The Telegraph.
,,, Examining the unit could reveal secrets of how it works, which could help Ukraine and Western allies render it useless on the battlefield.

Ukrainians have found mystery warheads that look like darts. They're Russia's new weapon.
… The munitions are decoys meant to trick air-defense radars and heat-seeking missiles, the New York Times reported, and are released from Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles. They are each about a foot long and shaped like a dart with an orange tail, American intelligence officials say.
The devices produce radio signals to confuse enemy radars attempting to locate the missiles, and they also contain a heat source to attract other missiles.
… "Decoys like this can be effective in terms of fooling radars or infrared seekers on kill vehicles, but they need to be kept secret," Lewis told Insider. "Because if your adversary or if the defender has access to the countermeasures, then they can adapt their missile defense systems so that they're not fooled."
To Lewis, it's a puzzle why Russia would use these decoys against Ukraine, which he says does not have the military capabilities to successfully shoot down Iskander missiles.
"It's a very curious decision by the Russians," he said. "In using missiles with these decoys, they're really compromising their own ability to defeat much more sophisticated missile defenses that the United States and other NATO countries might use."

MEASURING PRIVACY PROGRAMS
The risks of falling short on privacy compliance are greater than they have ever been. New laws are going into effect around the world and in the states, enforcement agencies are exercising their authority and media organizations have teams devoted to identifying data protection failures. Legal judgments can run into the billions. And most important, consumers are increasingly empowered and active in responding when they believe their rights are trampled. Companies are hiring compliance staff and investing in privacy management tools and trying to become more sophisticated about measuring performance.
Businesses are increasingly monitoring quantitative and qualitative metrics to track, measure, and improve existing privacy programs. According to a Privacy Benchmark Study by Cisco, 93% of organizations currently track and provide analysis on at least one privacy metric, and 14% use five or more. These privacy metrics provide businesses and other organizations with key information that allows them to enhance trust and relationships with customers, ensure that personal data remains safe in data transfers, and confirm legal and regulatory privacy compliance.
Maybe we can reduce the legal profession to a single phone app...

Intelligent Legal Tech to Empower Self-Represented Litigants
Schmitz, Amy J. and Zeleznikow, John, Intelligent Legal Tech to Empower Self-Represented Litigants (March 2, 2022). Ohio State Legal Studies Research Paper No. 688, 23 COLUMBIA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LAW REVIEW 142-190 (2022) at https://journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/stlr/article/view/9391/4800, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4048335 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4048335
“Legal technologies, or “legal tech,” are disrupting the practice of law and providing efficiencies for businesses around the globe. Indeed, legal tech often conjures up notions around billion-dollar businesses and highly sophisticated parties. However, one branch of legal tech that holds particular promise for less sophisticated parties is expanding access to justice (A2J) through the use of online dispute resolution (ODR). This is because ODR uses technology to allow for online claim diagnosis, negotiation, and mediation without the time, money, and stress of traditional court processes. Indeed, courts are now moving traffic ticket, condominium, landlord/tenant, personal injury, debt collection, and even divorce claims online. The hope is that legal tech such as online triage and dispute resolution systems will provide means for obtaining remedies for self-represented litigants (SRLs) and those who cannot otherwise afford traditional litigation. Meanwhile, the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of online processes, including court and administrative processes that traditionally occurred in person. Nonetheless, these online processes seem focused on mainly case management and communication, neglecting the need for more imaginative and innovative uses of technology. Accordingly, this Article proposes a six-module process framework for ODR programs and identify gaps in development – where new technologies are needed to advance A2J. Indeed, there is great room for development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics to assist SRLs and others in pursuit of remedies, and justice.”
