A British man has been charged with hacking into U.S. government computers and stealing personal data about thousands of employees, then bragging about it on Twitter. |
Over the past year, Love and three unnamed co-conspirators—two living in Australia and one in Sweden—allegedly planted malware on government computers in order to steal data, according to an indictment filed in District Court in New Jersey. |
The group, which planned their attacks over IRC instant messaging, compromised agencies including NASA, the U.S. Defense Department’s Missile Defense Agency, the U.S. Army’s Network Enterprise Technology Command and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others. |
They are alleged to have obtained personal information of more than 4,000 employees for the Missile Defense Agency and “numerous” NASA employees, according to the indictment. The group allegedly publicized their attacks on Twitter. |
Government databases were attacked using SQL injection techniques, which involves probing back-end databases. The attackers also gained access to government computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in ColdFusion, Adobe Systems’ Web application development platform. |
In an attempt to avoid detection, the group allegedly channeled its attacks through proxy servers and used TOR, a network that provides greater privacy by routing encrypted Web traffic through servers around the world. |
Love could face up to five years in prison and a US$250,000 fine for the two New Jersey charges. He has also been charged in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for related intrusions, prosecutors said. |

When candidate Donald Trump first spoke of a plan to “open up” libel laws during the 2016 presidential campaign, he seemed serious. And he also seemed ill-informed: As president, Trump would lack the requisite power over the courts to make it easier for people to secure damages for defaming other people. |
Now installed in the White House, Trump has occasionally returned to his authoritarian fantasy of shutting down independent media outlets. Like the time he riffed on Twitter about de-licensing NBC News — something neither he nor his allies at the Federal Communications Commission could manage. A good many media types h... |
The Thursday letter from Trump attorney Charles Harder goes a bit beyond rhetoric, though perhaps not that far. It’s directed at Michael Wolff and his publisher, Henry Holt & Co., over his impending book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which depicts the president as an unstable and incompetent man. “Mr.... |
Laughable, all of it. The Erik Wemple Blog doesn’t think too highly of the publicly released excerpts of Wolff’s book, which appear poorly substantiated and shot through with shaky assertions. Those poorly substantiated and shaky assertions should — and will — hit bookstores Jan. 5, four days earlier than scheduled. Ma... |
The threat letter is drawn up by Trump’s private lawyer; this is not an official White House action. In her press briefing Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders spread bluster over the cable-news airwaves. “There are numerous mistakes, but I’m not going to waste my time or the country’s time goin... |
Just for the record — the standard response of any party stung by a mostly correct investigative story is to lash back with something along the lines of: Oh, the falsehoods, inaccuracies and misrepresentations are too numerous to recount! |
On CNN, Atty. Mark Geragos says he has it on 'good authority' that Steve Bannon is considering a defamation suit against President Trump. |
Don’t say that the media didn’t prepare us for this enduring national embarrassment. A USA Today investigation during the campaign found that Trump had been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions over the previous three decades. |
Near the beginning of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the painter Basil Hallward explains to Lord Henry Wotton exactly what it is about Dorian Gray that inspired him to paint such an exquisitely beautiful portrait. Basil explains, “[Dorian] defines for me the lines of a fresh school” of art, and his “personality has sugges... |

FORT LAUDERDALE--In driving rain, 90-degree summer heat, and 50-degree winter chill, South Florida tea party protesters have helped shape a passionate and growing movement. |
Now, as the one-year anniversary of their first street-corner protest approaches, they're thinking much bigger, planning to reshape local and national political landscapes -— as soon as this fall's elections. |
"We're not going away," said Danita Kilcullen, who helps organize the Saturday afternoon gatherings at Oakland Park Boulevard and Federal Highway. Kilcullen and a dedicated core are there every week, with occasional protesters bringing the typical turnout to about 30. |
South Florida now has networks of activists well versed in national issues -— from a conservative, skeptical-of-government perspective. |
Newcomers to political activism, some of whom got involved after noticing the protesters while driving by, are now energized tea party participants. |
And the Fort Lauderdale gathering has helped spawn other protests. Joe Goldner said he recently stopped coming east every week so he could begin organizing rallies where he lives in Sunrise. He said he's been getting about 10 people showing up in the first few weeks. |
Goldner got his first taste of politics as a teenager in Queens, N.Y., campaigning for Bobby Kennedy's 1968 presidential bid. He sees the tea party movement as "equivalent to the civil rights movement and Vietnam War protests. it's probably bigger in the long run." |
Political scientist Nicol C. Rae of Florida International University isn't sure the tea party movement will be that significant or long-lasting. But he does see potential for significant short-term impact. |
"It's going to be a factor in this year's election cycle. Whether it's a factor in the 2012 election cycle largely depends on the state of the economy and the state of the country," Rae said. "It all depends on whether the fuel that sustains the movement kind of dries up….. I think they'll keep their energy as long as ... |
What's happening in South Florida reflects the phenomenon exploding across the country. The tea party movement is shaking established party politics and contributed to the year's biggest political shocker, Republican Scott Brown winning a Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senate to fill the seat of the late Ted K... |
The protests are a celebrated cause on the Fox News Channel and get widespread attention for big events such as the recent national tea party convention, where Sarah Palin was the featured attraction. |
Their future, however, is uncertain. |
Tea party activists are extraordinarily decentralized, which means different elements go off in different directions. |
Kilcullen and a fellow organizer, Jack Gillies, soon will start broadening the Fort Lauderdale group's activities by adding monthly gatherings to hear speakers and develop greater awareness on issues. They're not interested in endorsing specific candidates. |
Another regular protester, Edward Bender, said he's trying to pull together people into something he's calling the Broward Independence Group. He plans to start with education, but said his group eventually might move on to endorsing candidates or even running its own contenders for office. |
Participants said multiple leaders and different agendas are one of the movement's biggest strengths. |
"It helps tremendously," Goldner said. "We don't need one leader. We don't want it to become centralized because we don't want it to become an organization. This is about the people. This is 'We the people.' This is true grassroots." |
Rae also said it's a plus. "It gives it a genuine grassroots flavor. The minute it becomes kind of top down it just ceases to be a genuine movement." |
The protesters see and hear reasons for optimism every week. |
Sometimes newcomers pull over and ask to join. That's how Bender got involved, when he drove by one Saturday early last summer. He said he's never missed a week since. |
And Gillies gets an audible gauge of the movement's progress and potential every week. |
It comes when Gillies hoists his sign — "Stop Spending my Granddaughter's Future" on one side, "Honk for Freedom" on the other. |
In February 2009, when President Barack Obama's administration was in its infancy and Gillies was among a small band of protestors, he said positive horn honking was scarce, and obscene gestures were common. |
Now the response is dramatically audible. When he flips the sign around to aim the "honk" message at traffic, drivers respond with a cacophony of honking horns. |

The Citigroup transaction is unusual because a scaled down Wachovia will continue. Many details remain unclear, and no management changes have been announced. |
A congressional agency's report on last October's stock market crash concluded today that computerized trading equipment and the way transactions are regulated should be overhauled to avoid another such plunge. |
The General Accounting Office's study said that the nation's various financial markets increasingly have come to affect one another, meaning trading officials must find ways to prevent plummeting prices in one exchange from spilling into others. But the GAO, an investigating agency for Congress, said government regulat... |
Plus: Zoë Carpenter on health care in the Senate and David Cole on Trump’s travel ban and the Supreme Court. |
It’s not enough to say “no” to Trump, Naomi Klein argues; we need to transform ourselves and our movement to bring about the change we need. |
Also: Senate Republicans postponed voting on their “health-care” bill, after the CBO revealed its terrible consequences; Zoë Carpenter comments. |
And, David Cole, national legal director of the ACLU, explains the Supreme Court’s decision to hear arguments in October about Trump’s travel ban. |
Strange bedfellows: Stephen Harper and Carole James | The Hook, A Tyee blog. |
B.C.’s booming suburbs are home to at least nine battleground ridings that Conservatives must win in order for Stephen Harper to form a majority government. Provincial NDP leader Carole James has dramatically boosted her fortunes in those same regions by campaigning against Premier Gordon Campbell’s groundbreaking carb... |
As any attentive high school kid will remind you, majority governments are achieved by winning 155 of the nation’s 308 ridings. The Tories have to hold on to each of their recent 127 seats and win an additional 28 ridings in order to reach the magic number. |
Harper is expected to seek those extra seats in the suburbs that ring Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. This is not simply because Harper is better liked by Canadians who prefer to steer an SUV while sipping their Starbucks (though polls suggest he is); this is because Conservative candidates finished within a few perce... |
The Strategic Council has cobbled together a list of 45 battleground ridings it predicts could determine the outcome on Oct. 14. |
Ten of those tight ridings are in British Columbia. And with the notable exception of Vancouver North Island, all serve communities of a suburban or exurban nature: Vancouver Quadra, West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Newton-North Delta, Burnaby-Douglas, Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, Richmond, Pitt Meadows-... |
The Strategic Counsel’s designated Ontario and Quebec battlegrounds similarly cluster in traffic-choked edge cities. Though they differ widely in language and social sentiment, these ridings are bound together by at least one common value: Residents of these ridings spend a lot of time behind the wheel. |
Suburban Canadians drive farther and more often than do rural residents. Suburbanites not only commute farther to work, but also tend to criss-cross their communities more in the course of a typical shuttling-the-kids-around day. (The B.C. stats are here.) Likewise, suburbanites also tend to spend more money on fuel to... |
Harper knows this. And it’s a big part of why he called this election. In Liberal leader Stéphane Dion’s “Green Shift” plan, Harper sees a wedge issue that he thinks might deliver him the 28 suburban seats he’s had his eye on for more than two years. |
In the unlikely event the Prime Minister has any doubt his strategy will work, he need only track the fortunes of the B.C. New Democratic Party. Carole James launched her “Axe the Tax” campaign in late June, and by August the provincial NDP was polling (slightly) ahead of Gordon Campbell’s Liberals for the first time i... |
And so it is that in the next six seeks we may well witness Stephen Harper criss-crossing the Fraser Valley in his own caravan of SUVs, stumping at the same pumps that recently stood behind Carole James. |
New cookbooks serve up garlicky guacamole, grilled corn and rainbow Popsicles. |
The last big summer weekend is upon us. If you’re hosting — or heading to — a barbecue and want to bring something that’s both nutritious and delicious, consider one of these recipes from recent health-conscious cookbooks. |
1. Mash the avocado flesh in a bowl (a kid-friendly task to get them involved in cooking). |
2. Add the other ingredients and mix well. Check for salt and lime, adding more if necessary. |
3. Enjoy with chips, raw veggies, rice crackers, or in sandwiches. |

1. Brush the corn all over with the butter, then sprinkle with the chili powder and garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Place the corn in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees, turning over halfway through, until the kernels are lightly charred and tender, about 10 minutes. |
2. Transfer the ears to a cutting board, let stand 1 minute, then carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and move them to a bowl. Add the cilantro leaves and toss to combine (the cilantro leaves will wilt slightly). |
3. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and adobo sauce. Divide the corn and cilantro among plates and spoon the adobo dressing over the top. Sprinkle with the queso fresco and serve with lime wedges on the side. |

There are hundreds of thousands of apps available, but can any of them save your life? A free app from Global Alert Network could possibly save your life, or at least get you to work on time. |
The Global Alert Network app is linked to a national mobile traffic and weather alert system. In and of itself, traffic and weather alerts are not new, but the Global Alert Network app uses the GPS capabilities of your smartphone to deliver location-aware alerts that are relevant to you where you are right now, and it ... |
Dangerous weather conditions can sneak up on you quickly. |
The app runs in the background and "wakes up" to issue alerts based upon established account preferences. Traffic alerts are issued relative to your current location and route, and weather alerts are issued in relationship to your immediate surroundings. |
The Global Alert Network Website explains the unique value of the app. "There are no keys to push, no other applications to launch, and no need to touch the phone at all." This is especially valuable for alerting users of impending traffic or weather issues without distracting them while they are driving. |
I use the Garmin StreetPilot app on my iPhone for navigating while I am driving. It uses real-time traffic conditions and automatically re-routes me around any backups to keep me moving and get me to my destination on time. But, that functionality only works if I am actively using the Garmin app for navigating. It does... |
A University of Utah study found that drivers on mobile phones are more impaired that drivers with .08 blood alcohol content--a DUI in every state. Other studies report that distracted driving has passed alcohol-related incidents to be the number one killer of American teens. An app that can alert you to impending seri... |
Recent weather conditions--and incidents like the tragedy that struck one Missouri teen driving home from graduation when a tornado ripped through town--demonstrate why an app like this could be valuable. With 2011 now the deadliest tornado season on record since the 1950's, and the NOAA predicting a busy hurricane sea... |
The Global Alert Network app is available for free for BlackBerry and Android smartphones. An iPhone version is under development. Once the iOS version is available, I will have to add that to my list of must-have apps. |
With both Fable 3 (III) and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings being released on the same day for the PC, we thought we would have a look at their review scores. What we found interesting is the fact that one title disappoints, while the other will give you an experience that is tough to beat — can you guess which thoug... |
OK, so you might have guessed that it is Fable III that is a bit of a let down, as the stories are now starting to look their age. One would have assumed that the creators would have added something fresh, but they seem to have let us down. IGN has only given it a 6 out of 10, which to us is a bit of a flop. However, w... |
Fable III for the PC scored 8.0 for the sound, but was let down poor gameplay and no lasting appeal. As we mentioned above The Witcher 2 scored much better, with Bitgamer giving it 95 percent out of 100. The developers seemed to have made the game less complex while also managing to fix all of the flaws from the first ... |
There are some games like this that are too afraid to punish you when you get things wrong; not this game though. If you make a mistake you will know about it. Overall it is easy to tell which is the better game of the two, but do you share in these findings? |
W2 is amazing! I can't stop playing (15 hours spree!!!). It is like good book. |
WINNIPEG — Two wartime bomber aircraft will pay a visit to the Royal Canadian Aviation Museum this summer. |
“Sentimental Journey,” the B-17 bomber that was in Winnipeg in 2013, will be returning to the museum along with “Maid in the Shade,” a B-25. |
Visitors will have a chance to climb into the legendary bombers and get a glimpse of the inner workings of a combat aircraft. Bristling with gun turrets, large bomb bays and powerful Wright Cyclone radial engines, the B-17 and B-25 became some of the most famous Allied bombers of WWII. |
The aircraft will be available for viewing by Winnipeg aviation buffs from June 29 to July 5. |
Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students, seniors and children or $25 for a family of up to three children. |
Anyone wishing to volunteer to assist with the expected 10,000 visitors to the exhibit can e-mail info@royalaviationmuseum.com or call (204) 786-5503. |
JOHN ABY is relishing the prospect of learning under the tutelage of Clive Griffiths over the coming months after retaining a role with Gogledd Cymru. |
Aby has been head coach of the North Wales representative side for the past three years and has been key in helping the region continue to grow. |
Yesterday, however, the WRU unveiled former Grand Slam- winning coach Griffiths as the new head coach, with Aby taking over a role as one of his assistants. |
