https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS%20Sonoma | macOS Sonoma (version 14) is the latest major release of macOS, Apple's operating system for Macintosh computers. The successor to macOS Ventura, it was announced at WWDC 2023 on June 5, 2023, and released on September 26, 2023. It is named after the wine region located in California's Sonoma County.
The first developer beta was released on June 5, 2023, and macOS Sonoma entered public beta on July 11, 2023.
macOS Sonoma is the first version of macOS to be exclusive to Macs with Retina display, as it drops support for the 21.5-inch 2017 iMac.
New features
macOS Sonoma includes a number of new features and improvements, mainly focused on productivity and creativity:
Widgets have been completely revamped. They are no longer constrained to the Notification Center—instead they can be placed anywhere on the screen, and the widget picker has been redesigned to resemble the iPadOS version of it.
The lock screen has been redesigned to include a date and time similar to iOS and iPadOS. The power buttons have become a context menu.
Video-conferencing apps can overlay the presenter's webcam video on top of screen sharing.
App icons have been made more rounded.
The Spotlight search bar has been made more rounded, and its width has been decreased.
Safari changes:
Browsing profiles enable separate sets of bookmarks, extensions, and cookies, which can be used to separate, for example, a personal setup from a work one.
Password sharing lets multiple people have access to the same collection of website passwords, and update them as needed, with changes syncing across all enrolled devices.
Safari web apps let the user add any website to the Dock and open it in a simplified Safari interface, just like an app. A similar feature is available in Google Chrome. This feature is somewhat different from progressive web apps since it does not require additional work from website developers.
Messages changes:
More precise search filters: for example, the contact name can be combined with a search term to look for the term within a specific conversation.
Catch-up lets the user quickly jump to the first unread message in a conversation.
iMessage stickers have a new selection interface.
Apple TV now has a sidebar instead of a top bar.
Game mode optimizes gaming performance by prioritizing gaming tasks and allocating more GPU and CPU capacity to the game.
New slow-motion screen savers of different locations worldwide. When logged in, they transform into the desktop wallpaper.
Smoother animations for several areas such as the notification panel and the lock screen.
Users can react with their hands and animations will pop up based on the hand gesture.
AV1 hardware decoding has been introduced on devices with AV1 hardware decoding support such as Apple M3 family.
Print Center, a utility application returning from Mac OS X Tiger, was reintroduced for managing print jobs, viewing different printer queues, and pausing or deleting print jobs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angadia | Angadia is a traditional banking system that has been prevalent in the Indian subcontinent for centuries. Angadia refers to a trusted network of individuals who specialize in the secure transportation of valuable goods, including cash, jewelry, and important documents. It originated in the state of Gujarat. Angadia services facilitate trade and commerce in the region. In exchange for their services, they charge a nominal fee. The system relies on a network of couriers, known as Angadias, who operate with utmost integrity and trustworthiness. Angadia system is legal in India.
The business of angadias generally involves people from the Gujarati, Marwari, and Malbari communities.
History
Historically, Angadias were primarily employed by merchants, businesses, and individuals who required a secure means of transferring funds or valuable assets.
Traditionally, Angadias operated on a cash-based system, providing a reliable and confidential mode of transferring money. This made them particularly valuable in a society where formal banking services were not easily accessible or lacked the level of trust required for high-value transactions.
Angadias can be classified into distinct groups based on their specialized services. One category is dedicated to serving diamond traders, facilitating the transportation of rough and uncut diamonds from Gujarat to Mumbai's export houses. Another category focuses on the safe transportation of gold and silver. A third category assumes the responsibility of securely delivering substantial amounts of currency and diverse goods to and from Gujarat.
Prior to the late 1980s, Angadias used to travel with their consignments on horse carriages to Mumbai Central railway station. Due to security concerns and attacks by criminal gangs, they now receive police escort with two police vans accompanying them. Delivery personnel from different companies often travel together for safety reasons.
Operations
The Angadia system operates on a strong foundation of trust and close-knit relationships. Clients entrust their valuables to the Angadia couriers, who meticulously handle and transport the goods with the highest level of security. These couriers are known for their discretion, professionalism, and dedication to delivering the entrusted items safely and promptly.
In recent years, the Angadia system has faced some challenges due to increased regulatory scrutiny and the emergence of formal banking channels. However, it continues to thrive in certain sectors and regions where the need for secure and confidential financial services remains high.
Angadias transports high-value goods and cash between Mumbai and Gujarat on a daily basis. It is estimated that these individuals handle several hundred crore rupees worth of goods and cash in their operations. Various estimates suggest that the combined value of goods and cash transported by Angadias annually ranges between ₹70,000 crore and ₹1 trillion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeroGPT | ZeroGPT is a software tool that supposedly determines whether a text was created using an AI programme like ChatGPT. It is based in Hamburg, Germany. ZeroGPT is an Artificial Intelligence Detection Software, but it's worth noting that there's ongoing debate about the accuracy of such tools.
History
ZeroGPT is tasked with identifying the content's origin. It determines whether the written text was produced by a human brain, an AI system, or one of the OpenAI tools already in existence, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard.
Effectiveness
Although ZeroGPT claims to have a 98% accuracy rate, one test of the software found that it flagged only 81% of a fully AI-generated text. OpenAI also noted this lower accuracy in their comments on the software. When fed part of the United States Constitution it was flagged as 96% AI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel%20Pires%20da%20Silva | Abel Pires da Silva (; born 24 May 1976) is an East Timorese computer scientist and politician. From March 2022 to July 2023, he was Minister of Public Works in the VIII Constitutional Government of East Timor led by Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak.
At the age of 41 he was one of the youngest members of the National Parliament. Additionally, he served as the National Parliament's Chair of the Infrastructure Permanent Committee, Chair of the Timor-Leste and Japan Friendship Group, Inaugural Chair of the Young Parliamentarians Group, Secretary of the Timo-Leste Delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, and an active member of the ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR).
Early life and education
Seran Toza Lialuli was born on the Foho Taroman mountain in southwest East Timor. During this time, the country was under Indonesian annexation, driving many residents to seek refuge in the wild. When Silva joined in the Catholic primary school, which demanded a Christian name, he changed to his current name. He moved to Dili at the age of 14, where he excelled in a computer course and graduated at the top of his class. Silva continued his education in Diponegoro University in Semarang with scholarship from the then Provincial Government of Timor-Timur, where he earned a BA in Engineering.
It is during his study at this university that he became very active in the Timor-Leste's resistance movements. Merely 3 months after arriving in Semarang, he joined the resistance movement as a sworn member of Resistência Nacional dos Estudantes de Timor-Leste (National Resistance of East Timorese Students) – RENETIL adopting a clandestine name, nom de guerre of "Lalehan Novembro" (LANOVE) or "November Sky"
He received most of his political trainings in this Timor-Leste's formal resistance organisation. In early 1997 at the age of 20 years old, he was entrusted by his fellow sworn members (membro jurados) to take the responsibility as their Vice-Responsável Principal to lead RENETIL's branch in Semarang city until Timor-Leste restored its formal independence in 2002, following the referendum in 1999. This video is one of many public demonstrations participated and/or led by Abel Lanove in Jakarta demanding for Timor-Leste's rights for self-determination.
He received his first Australia Awards scholarship in 2005 and enrolled at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne to pursue a master's degree in information technology. Then, in 2009, he received a second scholarship and attended The Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra from July 2010 to July 2014, earning his PhD in information systems with the highest possible thesis examination result of degree award without revisions, according to the ANU's Research Awards Rules.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%20Internet%20Investment%20Fund | The China Internet Investment Fund (CIIF; ), is a China Government Guidance Fund. The fund focuses on the internet sector including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other services that are in line with national strategies and help develop the digital economy of China.
Notable companies that the fund has golden share ownership in include ByteDance, Sina Corporation, SenseTime and Kuaishou.
Background
On 22 January 2017, CIIF was established as a 100 billion yuan fund by the Cyberspace Administration of China and Ministry of Finance to support investments in the internet sector. An initial 30 billion yuan funding came from firms including ICBC, China Mobile, China Unicom and CITIC Guoan Group. ICBC, China Development Bank and Agricultural Bank of China would provide financial services and a 150 billion yuan line of credit. The aim of the fund was to turn China into a major player in internet technology and to facilitate Premier Li Keqiang’s Internet Plus strategy.
CIIF makes use of golden shares that enable it to exercise significant control over companies it invested in despite low ownership. For example, it holds a 1% stake in a subsidiary of ByteDance and appoints one of the three board members of that unit, which holds key licenses for ByteDance's domestic short-video business. Another example is Sina, where it acquired a 1% stake for only 10.7 million yuan ($1.5 million).
In January 2023, CIIF acquired golden shares in two local divisions of the Alibaba Group that control Youku and UCWeb.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K10plus | K10plus is the union catalog of the German library networks GBV (Common Library Network) and SWB (Southwest German Library Network). It combines the catalogs of the majority of academic libraries in Germany.
K10plus combines the former union catalogs of GBV and SWB covering 10 of 16 states of Germany, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and other research institutions such as those of Leibniz Association, Helmholtz Association and Max Planck Society. As of March 2023, K10plus contained around 80 million bibliographic records, representing over 200 million physical and digital library assets from more than 1000 libraries. Large parts of K10plus are exported regularly into WorldCat and make up roughly 10% of it.
K10plus-Zentral is an extension of K10plus with bibliographic data aggregated from other sources such as public libraries, PubMed, JSTOR, arXiv etc. As of March 2023, it contained around 231 million records. The database is run with Solr and can be integrated in various search portals.
Technology
The union catalog is managed with the database management system CBS (Controlled Bibliographic Service) originally developed in the 1980s in the Netherlands and acquired by OCLC in 2002. CBS and K10plus use a custom internal data format called PICA+ but extensions of CBS exist to support MARC21. The CBS data models used in GBV and SWB have been integrated to the common K10plus format. The format consists of bibliographic records and authority records with metadata about publications (main level) and two levels of local and copy records with information about individual library holdings. Records can be linked for authority control and to model connections such as book series.
Database records are mainly edited by member libraries with the cataloging client "WinIBW" and exported to various local library systems, OPACs and search portals, including K10plus-Zentral. Records can be accessed via APIs such as SRU and have been made available as (Linked) Open Data.
History
In June 2014 a collaboration between the Library Service Centre Baden-Württemberg (BSZ) and the head office of the Common Library Network (VZG) was decided and announced by their managing directors at the 103rd German Library Congress in Bremen. A formal contract was signed in September 2015. K10plus went live in March 2019. Both institutions used the CBS database software CBS.

Its network was one of the most extensive in Spain, until it was nationalized in 1941, and integrated into the Red Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Españoles (RENFE).
History
Origins and founding
The origins of Norte lie on the construction of the Madrid-Hendaye railway, designed to link the Spanish capital with the French border. The history of this line can be divided into two parts:
From 1845 to 1855; many projects were presented but did not materialize in any construction.
In 1856 the construction of the railway line from Madrid to Irun, or the Northern Railway, finally began. This line would become the base for the northern network of Spain, with 633 kilometres. The construction of the line was finished eight years later, after which it was dedicated to its exploitation, managing to increase it with multiple annexations until 1941, when it was absorbed by the State.
People in Biscay were very interested in building a railway line that would connect them with the capital, since it was developing the ferrous metallurgy in the area and needed good transportation. Thus, in 1843 the blast furnaces of Santa Ana de Bolueta were inaugurated and a bit later the companies that were the origin of Altos Hornos de Vizcaya were also inaugurated.
On August 16, 1845, a provisional Royal Order was approved, granting the representatives of the Provincial Council, the City Council and the Royal Board of Commerce, the construction of the line from Madrid to Valladolid, Burgos and Bilbao. Then, following the coast, through Deva, to reach Irun, with the condition that the interests of the localities affected by the route, especially Alava, were taken into account. This law was known in Madrid as the Basque Concession. The change in railway policy in 1851 obliged the Biscayans to adapt to the condition of payment on behalf of the State, by means of a second concession. In 1854 the Espartero-O'Donnell Government was formed and convened the Constituent assembly, from which the General Railway Law of June 3, 1855 was passed, the Northern line being divided into three sections:
Madrid – Valladolid, through Avila and Medina del Campo
Valladolid – Burgos
Burgos – France, through Miranda de Ebro.
In November, the license for the Valladolid-Burgos section was given to the Pereire, and in July 1856 the concession of the other two sections: Madrid–Valladolid and the one from Burgos to the French border, was given to the Sociedad de Crédito Mobiliario Español, having to pass through Miranda de Ebro, Vitoria, Alsasua, Tolosa and San Sebastián. This law also granted an authorization to Compañía de los Ferrocarriles de Madrid a Zaragoza y Alicante (MZA) for the construction of a railway from Zaragoza through Tudela and Pamplona to connect in Alsasua with the Northern Railway. Thus, the three sections of the Northern Rail |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine%20Tambour | Madeleine Tambour, born December 18, 1908, in Paris and died in deportation to the Ravensbrück camp on March 4, 1945, was a French actress, active in the French Resistance within several networks including André Girard's Carte network and several networks of the Special Operations Executive.
Biography
Family background
Madeleine Anne Marie Tambour is the daughter of Alcide Tambour and Anne-Marie Aubin born in 1873. She has an older sister named Germaine.
Resistance
The family apartment located at 38 avenue de Suffren, Paris XVe, served as a mailbox and clandestine home for a large number of agents of the Special Operations Executive at the end of 1942 and the beginning of 1943, starting with Andrée Borrel and Francis Suttill at their arrival in France.
Her sister Germaine is the secretary of André Girard, founder of the "Carte" network, which wants to be independent of Free France and for this reason obtains the support of the Special Operations Executive (section F of the SOE).
In 1942, Madeleine Tambour was contacted by resistance fighter Andrée Borrel (Denise) who asked her and her sister to shelter many resistance fighters.
Arrest, internment and deportation
On April 22, 1943, Germaine and Madeleine Tambour were arrested by the Abwehr.
Despite the intervention of several resistance fighters, in particular Françis Suttill, Armel Guerne, Jean Worms and Jacques Weil, to have them released, Madeleine Tambour and her older sister were interned in the prisons of Fresnes, Romainville and Compiègne.
They were finally deported to the Ravensbrück camp in April 1944.
Death
Madeleine is identified under the registration number 27551 KZ. She died in Ravensbrück, executed by gas, like her sister, on March 4, 1945.

The flagship program for the series is America's Day at the Races.
History
1998–2000
Fox Sports first began covering thoroughbred racing in 1998 with a multi-year deal for the Santa Anita Derby.
Fox Sports expanded its coverage in 1999 through a partnership with the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Fox aired 11 races as part of the partnership, branded as NTRA Champions on Fox. The partnership did not return in 2001.
2014–2020
Fox Sports returned to horse racing in 2014 with a two-year agreement with The Jockey Club for up to 10 races on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Deportes.
In 2016, Fox Sports reached an agreement with the New York Racing Association (NYRA) for coverage of 40 summer races from Saratoga Race Course on Fox Sports 2. The races were branded as Saratoga Live. In 2017, the Fox Sports expanded its NYRA races to include races from Aqueduct Racetrack and Belmont Park, branded as Aqueduct Live and Belmont Park Live respectively.
In August 2017, the NYRA extended its summer agreement with Fox Sports through 2020. In November 2018, the NYRA and Fox Sports reached a new agreement that made Fox Sports the year-round television home for NYRA races from Saratoga and Belmont, featuring more than 600 hours of horse racing.
In 2019, the NYRA and Fox debuted America's Day at the Races, which has become their flagship horse racing show. Also in 2019, through its partnership with the NYRA, the Fox network began airing the Travers Stakes, its first horse race since NTRA Champions on Fox races in 2000. Also through its partnership with the NYRA, in 2020, Fox Sports 1 began airing the Saudi Cup.
2021–present
In March 2021, Fox Sports and the NYRA announced an extension to their rights deal through 2030. As part of the agreement, Fox Sports will air 700 hours of coverage each year from Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course. The Travers Stakes will continue to air on Fox. Fox also acquired a 25% stake in NYRA Bets. In 2022, Fox Sports reached an agreement with the NYRA for the rights to the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the horse racing triple crown, through 2030.
Recently, Fox has aired more races on its main network. In 2022, Fox aired the Jim Dandy Stakes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macromolecular%20Crystallographic%20Information%20File | The Macromolecular Crystallographic Information File (mmCIF) also known as PDBx/mmCIF is a standard text file format for representing macromolecular structure data, developed by the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) and the Protein Data Bank It is an extension of the Crystallographic Information File (CIF), specifically for macromolecular data, such as proteins and nucleic acids, incorporating elements from the PDB file format.
mmCIF is intended as an alternative to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) format and is now the default format used by the Protein Data Bank.
mmCIF was designed to address limitations of the PDB format in terms of capacity and flexibility, especially with the increasing size and complexity of macromolecular structures being determined.
The format is part of the larger Crystallographic Information Framework, a system of exchange protocols based on data dictionaries and relational rules expressible in different machine-readable manifestations, including, but not restricted to, the original Crystallographic Information File and XML.
Example
An example of the mmCIF file format is key-value style is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterographa%20rotundata | Enterographa rotundata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Roccellaceae. This species was discovered in Brazil, growing on the smooth bark of trees in the Brazilian Caatinga forest. It has round (lichen structures where spores are produced), a feature that sets it apart from most of its kind.
Taxonomy
Enterographa rotundata was first formally described by lichenologists Marcela Cáceres, Edvaneide Leandro de Lima, and André Aptroot in 2012. Its type specimen was discovered by the second author on the bark of a tree in the Catimbau National Park, in the Pernambuco state of Brazil, at an altitude of approximately . The species name rotundata is derived from the Latin word , which translates to "round", a fitting descriptor for the species' distinct round .
Description
The Enterographa rotundata lichen has a crust-like thallus (lichen body), which is often very thin, making it appear almost non-existent. Its colour varies from pale pinkish to pale brownish, and it adheres closely to the surface of the tree bark. Its is from the green algal genus Trentepohlia.
Enterographa rotundata is distinguished by its round or slightly ellipsoidal ascomata, the sexual reproductive structures of lichen, which are dark brown to black in colour. The ascomata are 0.1–0.2 mm wide with a raised, ochraceous white margin approximately 0.05 mm wide. Each ascus, the spore-bearing structure within the ascomata, typically contains eight hyaline . These are narrowly (club-shaped), 50–60 by 3.5–5.0 μm in size, and surrounded by a gelatinous sheath.
One of the notable characteristics of Enterographa rotundata is its lack of detectable substances, which is relatively unusual for a lichen. It has been observed to have no reactions with the standard chemical spot tests (UV−, C−, P−, and K−); the lack of substances has been confirmed by thin-layer chromatography.
Habitat and distribution
Enterographa rotundata is primarily found on the smooth bark of trees in the Caatinga forest, a unique dry forest biome found only in Brazil. In this environment, it coexists with other lichen species such as Dirinaria leopoldii, Lecanora leprosa, L. leproplaca, Pertusaria ventosa, Phaeographis ventosa, and Ramboldia haematites.
Similar species
Enterographa rotundata is one of very few Enterographa species with round apothecia. It bears a superficial resemblance to Enterographa lecanoracea and Enterographa mesomela, both of which, however, have distinguishing features. E lecanoracea is characterised by larger ascomata, while E. mesomela has a grey-green thallus and slightly shorter ascospores.
Other species such as E. anguinella, E. batistae, E. byssoidea, and E. perez-higaredae also have typically round apothecia but differ in their ascomata size, chemistry, and habitat. For instance, E. batistae has the smallest ascomata, E. byssoidea is recognised by its apothecium margin, and E. perez-higaredae is known for the presence of psoromic acid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaDev | AlphaDev is an artificial intelligence system developed by Google DeepMind to discover enhanced computer science algorithms using reinforcement learning. AlphaDev is based on AlphaZero, a system that mastered the games of chess, shogi and go by self-play. AlphaDev applies the same approach to finding faster algorithms for fundamental tasks such as sorting and hashing.
Development
On June 7, 2023, Google DeepMind published a paper in Nature introducing AlphaDev, which discovered new algorithms from scratch that outperformed the state-of-the-art methods for small sort algorithms. For example, AlphaDev found a faster assembly language sequence for sorting 5-element sequences. Upon analysing the algorithms in-depth, AlphaDev discovered two unique sequences of assembly instructions called the AlphaDev swap and copy moves that save a single assembly instruction each time they are applied. For variable sort algorithms, AlphaDev discovered fundamentally different algorithm structures. For example, for VarSort4 (sort up to 4 elements) AlphaDev discovered an algorithm 29 assembly instructions shorter than the human benchmark. AlphaDev also improved on the speed of hashing algorithms by up to 30% in certain cases.
In January 2022, Google DeepMind submitted its new sorting algorithms to the organization that manages C++, one of the most popular programming languages in the world, and after independent vetting, AlphaDev's algorithms were added to the library. This was the first change to the C++ Standard Library sorting algorithms in more than a decade and the first update to involve an algorithm discovered using AI. In January 2023, DeepMind also added its hashing algorithm for inputs from 9 to 16 bytes to Abseil, an open-source collection of prewritten C++ algorithms that can be used by anybody coding with C++. It is estimated that these algorithms are used trillions of times every day.
Design
AlphaDev is built on top of AlphaZero, the reinforcement-learning model that DeepMind trained to master games such as Go and chess. The company's breakthrough was to treat the problem of finding a faster algorithm as a game and then train its AI to win it. AlphaDev plays a single-player game where the objective is to iteratively build an algorithm in the assembly language that is both fast and correct. AlphaDev uses a neural network to guide its search for optimal moves, and learns from its own experience and synthetic demonstrations.
AlphaDev showcases the potential of AI to advance the foundations of computing and optimize code for different criteria. Google DeepMind hopes that AlphaDev will inspire further research on using AI to discover new algorithms and improve existing ones.
Algorithm
The primary learning algorithm in AlphaDev is an extension of AlphaZero.
Encoding assembly programming into a game
In order to use AlphaZero on assembly programming, the authors created a Transformer-based vector representation of assembly programs designed to capture th |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli%C3%A9cer%20%C3%81vila | Eliécer Ávila Cicilia (born in 1985 in Puerto Padre, Las Tunas, Cuba) is a Cuban computer scientist and dissident. Founder and former president of the Cuban political party Somos Más. Known in Cuba for leading an incident in 2008 while he was a student at the University of Information Science (UCI), in which he asked a series of questions (according to Eliécer, “of great concern for young Cubans”) to the then president of the National Assembly of Popular Power, Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada.
UCI (Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas, "University of Informatic Sciences") Incident
Students' Q&A session with Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada
Eliécer Ávila was widely known in Cuba as a result of his intervention on January 28, 2008, at the University of Information Science of Cuba (UCI), where the then president of the National Assembly of the Popular Power of Cuba, Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada, had given a round of questions and answers after a talk with computer science students. Eliécer took his turn after another student, Alejandro Rafael Hernández Real, of whose intervention the final fragment was also included in a video that was spread clandestinely within Cuba.
Eliécer asked four questions during his speech, delving into their economic and political implications, such as the quality of public transport, misinformation in the population, the rule of law of the Cuban people and the lack of Internet connectivity. The answers given by Alarcón were widely criticized by the Cuban population, both inside and outside Cuba, once the video was broadcast. It was said that Alarcón did not respond to any of the questions that were put to him, and rather addressed at length problems that existed in the period prior to 1959. Especially criticized was Alarcón's justification for regulating the departure of Cubans abroad: “If the 6 billion people in the world were allowed to travel, they would create a tremendous entanglement in the airs.”
Video recordings of Eliécer's questions and Alarcón's respective answers were copied and widely disseminated hand-by-hand among the Cuban population through USB flash drives. The video also received a great deal of international attention, especially from the Cuban exile community. Several Cuban-in-exile opinion outlets have speculated that Ricardo Alarcón's political replacement in 2013 and his subsequent low profile were caused by his responses at this particular conference.
Declarations on Cuban state-run mass media
After the video had a great impact both inside and outside of Cuba, an unusual political debate arose among the Cuban population and rumors began to emerge regarding his personal situation and an alleged imprisonment and punishment for political reasons. In response to these rumors, on February 11, 2008, the state news agency Cubadebate conducted an interview with five young people who had participated in the conference with Alarcón, including Eliécer. The students interviewed denied having suffered negative reper |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChongLuaDao | ChongLuaDao () is a Vietnamese non-profit cybersecurity organization that helps clients verify the legitimacy of websites and block access to dangerous ones to keep them safe while using the internet. This non-profit project was started by a group of Vietnamese computer security specialist, including Hieu Minh Ngo, a former hacker who is now a technical expert for the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Le Phuoc Hoa, Nguyen Hoang Thang, and Nguyen Hung.
Beginning
After serving his time in U.S. federal prison for stealing persons' personally identifiable information, hacker Hieu Minh Ngo (also known as HieuPC) left for Vietnam in August 2020. Hieu is considered "one of the most prolific identity thieves ever to grace a federal prison". Returning to Vietnam in the wake of a surge in cybercrime, he has teamed up with a number of other professionals in information security to launch a nonprofit project aimed at preventing cybercrime, alerting users to bad websites, and protecting them from malicious content. Hieu claims that Scam Fighter is a project he has cherished during his time in the US. These are all purportedly part of HieuPC's "rehabilitation" efforts, along with several other community initiatives.
A group of programming and information security specialists composed the core team of the project, including Nguyen Manh Luat, Nguyen Hung, Le Phuoc Hoa, Pham Tien Manh, Tran Dai Chi, and Hieu Minh Ngo. The project team has so far included roughly 30 people. Additionally, Duong Ngoc Thai, a former Google engineer and leader of the security and application encryption team, serves as the project's confidential data security counsel for its customers.
Launch and development
The non-profit ChongLuaDao officially started operations on December 27, 2020. The "ChongLuaDao" project, including the website and the plug-in extension, is formally launched by February 2021, with server infrastructure operated by Vietnix Hosting. The plug-in extension has more than 3,500 downloads, more than 70,000 views, and has added more than 1,000 scam websites to the denylist as a result of more than 1,400 user reports in just one day after introduction. They also teamed up with Anti-Phishing Working Group to share data on cyberthreats. As of October of the same year, the average monthly traffic to the website of ChongLuaDao to test the reliability of another website was about 35,000. They continued to release apps for Android and deploy application development for IOS after the plug-in extension's success on web browser platforms. The application was created using machine learning techniques and often updated datasets that were derived from community contributions. Their chatbot debuted on Facebook Messenger in September. Through this, Facebook users may instantly assess the trustworthiness and security of a website on their phone while chatting live with automated software.

Production
The film is based on a 1980s video game, which, according to the director, "in turn was motivated by the giant creature feature craze infesting 1950s Hollywood."
Reception
Empire sees in this film an example of what can be called the "Nordic genre invasion"
The Hollywood News praised the film in the following terms: "Camp, cheesy and oddly charming, It Came From the Desert is a rare modern b-movie that is an absolute viewing pleasure. It's such an entertaining watch that it should be watched with as big an audience as possible for maximum fun." A comparable assessment can be found in various reviews

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20day%20against%20violence%20and%20bullying%20at%20school%20including%20cyberbullying | The International Day Against Violence and Bullying at School, including Cyberbullying is a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) holiday celebrated every year on the first Thursday of November.
This International Day was designated by the member states of UNESCO in 2019 and it was first held in November 2020.
According to UNICEF, one in three young people in 30 countries have been a victim of online bullying (2019 poll) and half of students aged 13 to 15 experience peer violence around school (2018 report).
The UNESCO International day remind people that violence in schools violates the right of children and adolescents to education, health and well-being. The aim is to call on the international community, civil society (including parents, pupils and teachers), the tech industry, the education community and the education authorities to take part in the fight against violence and bullying at school.
Celebration
2022
The 2022 edition emphasized the role of teachers in making schools safe places for everyone. An International seminar on the role of teachers in preventing and addressing school violence and bullying called "Not on my watch" was organized at UNESCO headquarters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMERIBOR | The American Interbank Offered Rate (AMERIBOR), or simply Ameribor, is a reference rate for corporate borrowing costs for periods between 30 and 270 days. It is based on short-term funding data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation.
History
Introduced by Richard Sandor, who is known for creating interest-rate futures in the 1970s, Ameribor is determined on the American Financial Exchange. This is a platform where banks lend through mutual credit lines.
Ameribor serves as a competitive alternative to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which only provides an overnight rate.
Ameribor is favored by smaller banks as it accurately represents the fund trading costs for banks outside the Federal Reserve's primary dealers. These banks often lack access to repo markets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%20MOVEit%20data%20breach | A wave of cyberattacks and data breaches began in June 2023 after a vulnerability was discovered in MOVEit, a managed file transfer software.
Background
MOVEit is a managed file transfer software developed by Ipswitch, Inc., a subsidiary of Progress Software.
Methodology
A vulnerability in MOVEit allows attackers to steal files from organizations through SQL injection on public-facing servers. The transfers are facilitated through a custom web shell identified as LemurLoot. Disguised as ASP.NET files used legitimately by MOVEit, LemurLoot can steal Microsoft Azure Storage Blob information.
Discovery
According to cybersecurity firm Mandiant, the MOVEit vulnerability began being used on May 27, 2023.
Responsibility
According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the breaches are being conducted by Cl0p, a Russian-affiliated cyber gang.
Impact
On June 3, the Government of Nova Scotia estimated that as many as 100,000 present and past employees were impacted by the breach.
On June 5, various organizations in the United Kingdom, including the BBC, British Airways, Boots, Aer Lingus, and payroll service Zellis were breached. On June 12, Ernst & Young, Transport for London, and Ofcom separately announced that they had been affected, with Ofcom announcing that personal and confidential information was downloaded.
On June 15, CNN reported that the United States Department of Energy was among multiple United States government organizations affected by the MOVEit vulnerability. The following day, it was reported that the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles and Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services were hit, affecting millions of residents.
A running total maintained by cybersecurity company Emsisoft showed that more than 2,500 organizations were known to have been impacted as at October 25, 2023 with more than 80 percent of those organizations being US-based.
Response
The MOVEit team has worked with industry experts to investigate the May 31 incident. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA),, CrowdStrike, Mandiant, Microsoft, Huntress and Rapid7 have assisted with incident response and ongoing investigations. Cyber industry experts have credited the MOVEit team for its response and handling of the incident by quickly providing patches, as well as regular and informative advisories that helped support rapid remediation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%20Reddit%20API%20controversy | In April 2023, the discussion and news aggregation website Reddit announced its intentions to charge for its application programming interface (API), a feature which had been free since 2008, causing a dispute. The move forced multiple third-party applications to shut down and threatened accessibility applications and moderation tools.
On May 31, Apollo developer Christian Selig stated that Reddit's pricing would force him to cease development on the app. The resulting outcry from the Reddit community ultimately led to a planned protest from June 12 to 14 in which moderators for the site would make their communities private or restricted posting. Following the release of an internal memo from Reddit CEO Steve Huffman and defiance from Reddit, some moderators continued their protest.
Alternate forms of protest emerged in the days following the initial blackout. Upon reopening, users of r/pics, r/gifs, and r/aww voted to exclusively post about comedian John Oliver. Multiple subreddits labeled themselves as not safe for work (NSFW), affecting advertisements and resulting in administrators removing the entire moderation team of some subreddits. A Reddit spokesperson said the removals were due to a violation of Reddit's Content Policy and Moderator Code of Conduct, which prohibits moderators from incorrectly marking a community as NSFW. Some moderation teams were eventually reinstated while some others were not. The protest has been compared to a strike. The third iteration of r/place was covered with various messages attacking Huffman, including the final result.
Background
Reddit is a news aggregation and discussion website. Posts are organized into "subreddits", individualized user-created boards moderated by users. In 2008, Reddit introduced its application programming interface (API), granting developers access to the site's corpus of posts and comments. Developers have used Reddit's free API to develop moderation tools and third-party applications; the API has also been used to train large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT and Google's chatbot Bard.
Subreddit moderators have leveraged their subreddits en masse in the past to protest decisions that Reddit has made. In the self-described "Great Reddit Blackout of 2015", users publicly disagreed with the company over the termination of Victoria Taylor, a Reddit employee who held Ask Me Anythings (AMAs) and was vital to r/IAmA. In 2021, Reddit hired Aimee Knight, whose father, David Challenor, was convicted earlier that year for raping and torturing a 10-year-old child, resulting in another blackout.
API changes
On April 18, 2023, Reddit announced it would charge for its API service amid a potential initial public offering. Speaking to The New York Times Mike Isaac, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said, "The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable, but we don't need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free". In spite of those changes, Huffman said that |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkie%20%28video%20game%29 | Pinkie is a 1994 platform video game developed by Data Design Interactive and originally published by Millennium Interactive for the Amiga. A Super Nintendo Entertainment System version was released by Piko Interactive in 2018. In the game, the player assumes the role of Pinkie, who is tasked with collecting dinosaur eggs through the galaxy to prevent their extinction. The player controls Pinkie and his "Pinkie Pod" vehicle across 50 levels featuring their own variety of enemies and obstacles divided into five planets. The Pinkie Pod can perform various actions, and the player can obtain upgrades to augment its features.
Pinkie began production in January 1993 on the Amiga platform when co-designers Stuart Green and Scott Williams discussed what they liked in games, settling to make a game that was playable as Mario with puzzles and "everything in there". The game was developed primarily on the Amiga, although it was being made simultaneously for other systems, which led the team with a "console-ish" thought process and designed it to be console-orientated. The music was scored by Darren Wood and the record label Station 2 Station. Versions for Amiga CD32, Game Gear, and Sega Mega Drive were planned but never released. It garnered average reception from the Amiga gaming press.
Gameplay
Pinkie is a side-scrolling platform game with puzzle elements reminiscent of Super Mario World and James Pond 3 in which the player assumes the role of Pinkie, who is tasked with collecting dinosaur eggs through the galaxy to prevent their extinction. The player controls Pinkie and his "Pinkie Pod" vehicle across 50 levels featuring their own variety of enemies and obstacles divided into five planets, each one represented by an overworld map that expands after completing a level. Pinkie must collect two out of three eggs placed on pre-determined spots in order to complete a level.
Pinkie can jump over enemies to stun them temporarily when outside of his pod vehicle, but can only take one hit before losing a life. When using the Pinkie Pod, the player is invulnerable and perform various actions such as elevate to reach higher platforms, attack enemies, dive underwater, and store collected eggs. Between levels, the player can obtain upgrades for the Pinkie Pod to augment its features. After completing each level on a planet, a boss must be fought to progress further.
Development
Pinkie was created by Data Design Interactive, a British game developer which had previously worked for publisher Millennium Interactive on the Commodore 64 and Game Boy versions of James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod, and level design for James Pond 3. It was co-produced by Stewart Green and Tony Hackett. Green also served as game designer, scenario writer, and character designer alongside Scott Williams, who worked as designer and programmer on Krusty's Super Fun House (1992). Williams conceived the game's concept and acted as programmer, with Antonio Argentieri and Simon Prytherch provid |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike%20Force%20Harrier | Strike Force Harrier is a 1986 combat flight simulation video game designed by Rod Hyde and published by Mirrorsoft for the 8-bit home computers. 16-bit ports were released later.
Gameplay
The game simulates the flying of the British attack aircraft Harrier jump jet, known for its vertical takeoff and landing. The objective is to attack an enemy base 250 miles away, filled with MiG fighters, SAM sites, and tanks. The game can't be cleared in one go, each sector must be cleared to establish landing, refuelling, and rearming bases for the land forces. A HUD displays essential information on the cockpit window. A radar screen plots the position and any enemies nearby. Red traces warn of missiles requiring evasive action.
Reception
Amtix called the game better than Skyfox and Spitfire 40. They summarized the game as "[a] simply superb fight simulation with loads of potential." Crash said that "Though by no means the best on the Spectrum, Strike Force Harrier is quite reasonable. As a flight sim, this is pretty good." Computer and Video Games reviewed the BBC Micro version and concluded: "A classy, polished and highly addictive simulation, this is a game to keep." When reviewing the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum versions they said that "Strike Force Harrier is set to become a classic of its type on all formats." Zzap!64 summarized: "Not a brilliant flight simulator, but one of the more exciting on the market."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet%20over%20fiber | Ethernet over fiber is a networking technology that delivers Ethernet bandwidth ranging up to 400 Gbit/s using optical fiber lines. Such wired transmission method extends connectivity over long distances and provides greater immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI) since copper-based Ethernet connections are being limited by a maximum length of 100 meters and are easier to affect by surrounding EMI.
Background
Ethernet over fiber has emerged as a preferred medium in situations that require long-distance communication and a high level of immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI). With fiber-optic cables, data can be transmitted over much greater distances compared to copper-based Ethernet cable.
Ethernet over fiber-optic cable (10BASE-F Ethernet) has been a technology with specifications dating back to the early 1980s. Initially, fiber-optic cables were primarily used to connect repeaters when the distance between them exceeded the limitations of ThickNet cable. The initial specification, known as Fiber Optic Inter Repeater Link (FOIRL), outlined the process of linking two repeaters using fiber-optic cable, allowing for connections of up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) in length.

Introduction
The Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD) at the University of Illinois (UIUC) was a research center funded from 1984 to 1993. It built the shared memory Cedar computer system, which included four hardware multiprocessor clusters, as well as parallel system and applications software. It was distinguished from the four earlier UIUC Illiac systems by starting with commercial shared memory subsystems that were based on an earlier paper published by the CSRD founders. Thus CSRD was able to avoid many of the hardware design issues that slowed the Illiac series work. Over its 9 years of major funding, plus follow-on work by many of its participants, CSRD pioneered many of the shared memory architectural and software technologies upon which all 21st century computation is based.
History
The UIUC began computer research in the 50’s, initially for civil engineering problems, and eventually succeeded by cooperative activities among the Math, Physics, and Electrical Engineering Departments to build the Illiac computer series. This led to founding the Computer Science Department in 1965.
By the early 80’s, a time of world-wide HPC expansion arrived, including the race with the Japanese 5th generation system targeting innovative parallel applications in AI. HPC/supercomputing had emerged as a field, commercial supercomputers were in use by industry and labs (but little by academia), and academic architecture and compiler research were expanding. This led to formation of the Lax committee. to study the academic needs of focused HPC research, and to provide commercial HPC systems for university research. When HPC practitioner Ken Wilson won the Nobel physics prize in 1982, he expanded his already strong advocacy of both, and soon several government agencies introduced HPC R&D programs.
As a result of this, the UIUC Center for Supercomputing R&D (CSRD) was formed in 1984 (with funding from DOE, NSF, and UIUC, as well as DoD Darpa and AFOSR), under the leadership of 3 CS professors who had worked together since the Illiac 4 project – David Kuck (Director), Duncan Lawrie (Assoc. Dir. for SW) and Ahmed Sameh (Assoc. Dir for applications), plus Ed Davidson (Assoc. Dir. for hardware/ architecture) who joined from ECE. Many graduate students and post-docs were already contributing to constituent efforts; full time Academic Professionals were hired, and other faculty cooperated. A total of up to 125 people were involved at the peak, over the 9 years of full CSRD operation
The UIUC administration responded to the computing and scientific times. CSRD was set up as a Graduate College unit, with space in Talbot Lab. UIUC President Ikenberry arranged to have Gov. Thompson directly endow CSRD with $1M/year to guarantee personnel continuity. CSRD management helped write proposals that led to the Beckman gift of a $50M building, the establishment of NCSA, and a new CSRD building (now CSL).
The CSRD plan for success took a major departure |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels%20Birbaumer | Niels Birbaumer (born 11 May 1945) is an Austrian academic who served as a professor at the University of Tübingen until 2019.
Research career
In 2017, Birbaumer's study claimed that a brain-computer interface (BCI) device, applied via an electrode cap, enabled four ALS patients to communicate binary responses. This drew considerable attention due to its implications for quality of life. However, the study's replicability was questioned, leading to a German Research Foundation (DFG) investigation, which found the research data incomplete and the results flawed. As a result, Birbaumer's work was retracted, his funding revoked, and he was dismissed from the university. He relocated to Italy.
Despite the controversy, Birbaumer and his colleague Chaudhary received public support from several scientists. Notably, the BCI technology, which was first demonstrated successfully in a tetraplegic patient in 2006, was applied in Birbaumer's research to a patient without any voluntary muscle control for the first time.
The BCI was implanted in 2019 into the brain of a 34-year-old man with locked-in syndrome. After several trials, researchers decoded "yes" or "no" signals into sentences. The study, which spanned 462 days, was meticulously documented. Seward Rutkove, Chair of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, affirmed the BCI's efficacy but questioned its practicality due to cost and limited applicability.
In March 2022, Birbaumer published a new study in Nature Communications that builds on his prior work. Birbaumer and Chaudhary also claimed to have won lawsuits supporting the integrity of their PLOS report, showcasing the use of a BCI in a patient devoid of voluntary muscle control.
In April 2022, DFG and Birbaumer settled the legal dispute.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procom%20Technology | Procom Technology, Inc., was an American computer storage products manufacturer based in Orange County, California, and active from 1987 to 2005. The company initially produced a wide range of standalone magnetic and optical data storage products for the IBM PC and compatibles and the Macintosh before honing in on platform-agnostic network-attached storage (NAS) products. Toward the end of their existence, they were most well known for their CD Tower series of CD-based NAS devices. The company's intellectual property was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2005 for $50 million.
History
Procom Technology was founded by Alex Razm'joo, Nick Shahrestany, Frank Alaghband, and Alex Aydin, in Irvine, California, in 1987. All four founders were Iranian-born immigrants who had worked various computer industry jobs while studying at the University of California, Irvine. Both Razm'joo and Shahrestany previously worked for CMS Enhancements, another data storage product firm based in Irvine. The four founded Procom with $40,000 in start-up capital. In August 1987, they released their first product, an external 5.25-inch floppy disk drive intended for use with IBM's new PS/2 line of personal computers, which replaced the IBM PC's 5.25-inch floppy disk format of choice with the new 3.5-inch floppy disk format, invented by Sony in 1982. The product was fairly successful, and by 1988 the company posted $2.5 million in annual revenue. In the late 1980s, the company released a family of external hard drives that combined with software for the Macintosh and IBM PC and compatibles allowed data to be stored and transferred between them. The company's revenue reached $12 million in 1989 and $18 million in 1990. In 1991, the company employed 125 from their office in Irvine and posted sales of $28 million. In 1992, the company moved its headquarters within Irvine to a larger 62,000-square-foot warehouse and shortly thereafter announced their intentions to go public. The company backed out of their initial public offering that year, however.
Procom enjoyed a reputation for its breadth of data storage products in the early 1990s, the majority comprising hard-drive based network-attached storage (NAS) devices. In 1994, the company debuted the CD Tower line of CD-based NASes, intended for corporate clients whose networks frequently accessed and copied large amounts of data and software from CD. All drives in CD Tower units were SCSI-based; the initial lineup comprised a 7-drive unit, a 21-drive unit, and a 49-drive unit. In late 1995 or early 1996, Procom introduced the CD Tower Rax, a 56-drive unit with all hot-swappable components (barring the two redundant power supplies). The latter cost $69,000 in 1996.
By late 1996, Procom had expanded internationally, with offices in France, Germany, and Canada, and employed 200 people in total. In 1997, five years after their first IPO went nowhere, the company filed to go public again on the Nasdaq. The IPO was a success, the company |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blended%20artificial%20intelligence | Blended artificial intelligence (Blended AI) refers to the blending of different artificial intelligence techniques or approaches to achieve more robust and effective solutions. It involves integrating multiple AI models, algorithms, and/or technologies to leverage their respective strengths and compensate for their weaknesses.
Background
In the context of machine learning, blended AI can involve using different types of models, such as generative AI, decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines. By combining their results, predictions are more accurate and reliable. This blending of models can be done through techniques like ensemble learning, where multiple models are trained independently and their predictions are combined to make a final decision.
Blended AI can also involve combining different AI techniques or technologies, such as natural language processing, computer vision, and expert systems to tackle complex problems that require a multi-dimensional approach. For example, in a sales scenario AI could be used for lead generation and gathering information from social media such as LinkedIn posts, or understanding a prospect’s hobbies and interests. Another blended AI could achieve customer profiling including past interactions and purchasing habits, by them, their industry and growth areas.
Blended AI could be used to do predictive analytics to look at historical sales data, market trends, and external factors to generate accurate sales forecasts. This method is highly important to gauge and increase "efficiency, revenue and productivity". Lastly, another could integrate all the information into the CRM to build and maintain better prospect and customer profiles. The goal of blended AI is to leverage the strengths of different AI techniques and technologies, allowing them to complement each other and create more powerful and comprehensive AI solutions. By combining multiple approaches, blended AI aims to achieve better performance, higher accuracy, improved robustness, and enhanced capabilities in solving diverse and challenging problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%20Godfrey%20Cunningham | George Godfrey Cunningham ( – 23 September 1860) was a Scottish writer, compiler, and translator.
Biography
After publishing a poem ("A Choice") in Alexander Whitelaw's The Casquet of Literary Gems (1828), Cunningham's first full work was Foreign Tales and Traditions (1829), published by Blackie, Fullarton & Company. It was a collection of translations of several European stories, mostly German Romanticist literature, which was popular in Britain in the 1820s. This included five stories from Grimms' Fairy Tales, that were heavily based on the earlier translations by Edgar Taylor. His Lives of Eminent and Illustrious Englishmen (1834–1837) aimed to teach English history through biographies of its leading figures. It was patronised by royalty and Henry Brougham, and though it initially won praise, the biographies of its later volumes were less well connected, and began to rely heavily on extracts from the subjects' memoirs.
By 1838, Cunningham was living in Glasgow. On 2 August 1843, he married Isabella Crawford Laurie (1812–1903) in St Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh. On 18 March 1845, their only son, also named George Godfrey Cunningham (1845–1904), was born. Around 1846, they moved from Glasgow to Redcol (also spelled Redcoll or Redcoal) in Gladsmuir parish, East Lothian, where Cunningham was one of twenty-seven landowners in that parish eligible to vote for their member of parliament. They continued to live at Redcol until at least 1852, but by 1855 had moved to Hillside Crescent in Edinburgh, before finally moving to Windermere in Cumbria by 1859.
He was a shareholder of the Bank of London, partner of the publishing firm Fullarton & Co., and a member of the Camden Society, Percy Society, Royal Geographical Society, and Granger Society. In 1854, he chaired a meeting of the shareholders of the Caledonian Railway and Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, to get the two companies to stop lowering their fares in a price war which was negatively affecting the value of both companies.
His Gazetteer of the World (1850–1856) was considered his greatest and principal work, and he was in the process of preparing an improved edition of it at the time of his death. In addition to his main works, he wrote short biographies of his friend Reverend John Morell Mckenzie, Church of Scotland minister John Brown Patterson, and seventeenth century Church of England cleric Jeremy Taylor.
Cunningham died on 23 September 1860 at Elleray Bank, Windermere.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hive%20%28ransomware%29 | Hive (also known as the Hive ransomware group) was a ransomware as a service (RaaS) operation carried out by the eponymous cybercrime organization between June 2021 and January 2023. The group's purpose was to attack mainly public institutions to subsequently demand ransom for release of hijacked data.
In January 2023, following a joint US–German investigation involving 13 law enforcement agencies, the United States announced that the FBI had "hacked the hackers" over several months, resulting in seizure of the Hive ransomware group's servers, effectively shuttering the criminal enterprise. The Hive ransomware group had extorted over $100 million from about 1,500 victims in more than 80 countries when dismantled by law enforcement. The investigation continues, with the US State Department adding a $US10 million bounty for information linking Hive ransomware to any foreign government.
Method of operation
Hive employed a wide variety of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), creating significant challenges for defense and mitigation. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it functioned as affiliate-based ransomware, using multiple mechanisms to compromise business networks, including phishing emails with malicious attachments to gain access, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) once a network was infiltrated. Using locker malware and operating as a RaaS platform, Hive used Double Extortion techniques, in which operators install locker malware to take the data of a victim entity, then encrypt it so that it becomes useless to the victims for conducting business. Group operators then threaten to publish the stolen data on its dark web Tor site – HiveLeaks – unless the ransom is paid. The group has also used "triple extortion" tactics, seeking to extort money from anyone affected by a data disclosure of the victim organization's data.
The Hive mainly targets energy, healthcare, financial, media, and education sectors, and became notorious for attacking and crippling critical infrastructure. According to cybersecurity firm Paloaltonetworks in late 2022, the ransomware drops two batch scripts: hive.bat, which tries to delete itself, then shadow.bat, which deletes any shadow copies of the system. It then adds a .hive extension to encrypted files, along with its ransom note, entitled "HOW_TO_DECRYPT.txt", which lists instructions for preventing data loss. A generated login credential is included to instigate online communications between the victim and Hive hackers, labelled as its "sales department". A Tot link directs the victim to a login page submit the provided credentials, which opens a chat room.
History
Emergence and growing profile
Hive ransomware first became apparent in June 2021. Two months later, ZDNet reported that Hive had attacked at least 28 healthcare organizations in the United States, including clinics and hospitals across Ohio and West Virginia. In August 2021, the FBI released urgent updates warning of the ri |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesh%20Sidi | Teslem Andala Ubbi (born 30 May 1994), better known as Tesh Sidi, is a Sahrawi-Spanish computer engineer and politician. Having been an activist for Sahrawi independence, she was elected as an MP in the Congress of Deputies as number three on the lists of Sumar for Madrid after being nominated by Más Madrid, with whom she had previously attempted to run with for the 2023 Madrilenian regional election.
Early life
Tesh Sidi was born in the Sahrawi refugee camps located on Tindouf, Algeria on 30 May 1994. She was raised with her grandmother in Mauritania between the ages of four and seven following a Bedouin lifestyle, with her later returning to Tindouf. She moved to Alicante at the age of 12 to live with a foster family with whom she had already spent several summers, with her leaving her foster family at the age of 18 to work and study on her own.
She studied a degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Alicante while working as a waitress or shop assistant during the 2008 Spanish financial crisis, with friends helping her to be able to pay for the degree. She moved to Madrid after grauduating, finding work during the computing boom. She obtained a loan to pursue a Master in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence at the European University of Madrid, which she later finished.
Early career
After the outbreak of the Western Saharan clashes in 2020 as part of the Western Sahara conflict, Tesh started to get more interested and aware about her origins and the Saharawi cause and got involved in activism for the right to self-determination of the Saharawi people, assuming the presidency of the Saharawi Association in Madrid. She later created SaharawisToday, a digital communication platform specialized in the Sahrawi conflict.
Tesh Sidi participated in the 16th Congress of the POLISARIO Front as a congresswoman, in addition to covering the process for her media outlet. Tesh is not part of the leadership or militancy of the Polisario Front, but she still considers that the organization "represents all Sahrawis".
Political career
Tesh joined Más Madrid's list as number 11 for the 2023 Madrilenian regional election. However, she was finally rejected by the Electoral Commission of Madrid due to a problem in the electoral census in which she appeared registered in Málaga instead of Madrid. Tesh justified herself by saying that she was registered "by mistake" in the Málaga register while trying to register her mother, who came to Spain after having an accident in which a wall fell and broke both her legs, also indicating that Citizen Services office in Madrid told her that her register in Madrid was correct.
She was later announced as number three on the lists of Sumar for Madrid on behalf of Más Madrid, in a move considered a nod to the pro-Sahrawi movement in Spain and Yolanda Díaz distancing herself from Pedro Sánchez's pro-Moroccan position. If elected she would be the first Sahrawi woman to be represented in the Congress of Deputies and the |
