A couple of months prior to the DDoS attack on the Generalitat, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) was forced to revert to pen, paper and chalkboards when it was hit by a ransomware attack. The connection to the network was reset at the end of December, with most email accounts having been recovered – and a double authentication system applied – which allowed virtual classes to resume. While most systems have since been restored, others aren’t expected to be fully functional until the end of January....

(A screenshot from a Delta ad.) The airlines are almost getting bullish now. Why, Delta and United both insist that problems with flight delays are largely the fault of Air Traffic Control rather than, say, the fact that airlines let far too many competent people leave during the COVID-19 pandemic while they trousered billions of taxpayer dollars. Now they’re furiously hiring. The question some might ask is: who exactly is taking these airline jobs?...

Last Friday, NASA rolled the 321 foot (97 meter) SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft to the launch pad as it prepared to launch on Monday November 14 from the Kennedy Space Center. The storm behind this Artemis launch delay is Tropical Storm Nicola, which is expected to reach landfall on Florida’s southeast coast on Thursday morning as a Category 1 hurricane. The Kennedy Space Center is located on the southeast coast too, but is north of Nicola’s projected path, which will likely hit West Palm Beach, about 150 miles south of Kennedy....

Design & features Rather than the conventional clamshell form factor of the Swift X, the TravelMate Spin P4 has a more versatile convertible design that allows the 14-inch touch screen to be reversed for presentations, or simply folded right back to function in tablet mode when you don’t need – or have room for – the keyboard. The 14-inch IPS display may only provide FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels, 157.3ppi), but it’s sharp and colourful, with good viewing angles....

As pointed out in a new five-year study, the AI100 report, published last week by Stanford University, “many within the field are becoming aware of the carbon footprint of building such large models,” referring to deep learning programs. “There are significant environmental costs,” the study asserts. Despite the pressing matter of sustainability, many of the leading vendors of chips and systems that run AI programs are more focused on achieving performance, in terms of raw speed, than they are watching out for energy efficiency....

The Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) first called out Apple in August last year, issuing an order for the iPhone maker to update its app store policies so dating app providers could use payment systems other than the one offered by Apple. The ACM then blasted Apple again last month, accusing the company of failing to make sufficient changes to its app store policies while issuing a weekly €5 million fine in the process....

Speaking about the attack on Channel Nine in March, director-general of the Australian Signals Directorate Rachel Noble told Senate Estimates that pre-warning organsations about any precursor activity on their networks or systems is part of ASD’s “value add”. “We were very engaged with [Channel Nine] and the technical information that they were able to provide us about what happened on their network helped us, using our more classified capabilities, to warn two other entities that they were about to be victims as well, to prevent them from becoming victims,” Noble said....

The report, which is compiled monthly, covers window of exposure, vulnerability by class and time to fix. The latest report found that the window of exposure for applications has increased over the last six months while the top-5 vulnerability classes by prevalence remain constant, which the researchers behind the report said was a “systematic failure to address these well-known vulnerabilities.” According to NTT Application Security researchers, the time to fix vulnerabilities has dropped 3 days, from 205 days to 202 days....
