Illustration The case involved a YouTuber who had a confrontation with the sheriff’s deputy in Pierce County. After the incident, he filed a Public Records Act request for names, dates of birth, photos, and other information to all deputies and subsequent employees. Often, many of these records are not made public to protect law enforcement from harassment, retaliation, and potential identity theft. However, there is still an exception. Members as “news media,” as defined in state law, may receive records. Although based on media interests, the press is generally opposed to making employees’ birthdays private to anyone. But lawmakers have given the press privileged access, because they believe professional journalists can be trusted to use personal information responsibly. The press becomes the backbone of the public. Illustration For example, a news organization may need a date of birth and a photo to check an official’s past employment in connection with a certain scandal or to verify that a law enforcement officer is acting illegally. . In this, the YouTuber claims he is an “investigative journalist” who is considered a member of the news media based on his YouTube channel called “Libertys Champion”. The relevant authorities disagreed, and the case was referred to the Supreme Court. There, the majority was against him becoming a member of the news media. The court’s analysis focused mainly on the fact that he worked alone, not as a member of a newsroom. The nature of news and journalism is evolving rapidly. There are famous people who have added the label “Press – Press” when attending and participating in protests. People use Twitter to announce what’s happening at local government hearings. Others run reporting websites on focused topics, such as the helpful Seattle Insight City Council. Illustration The Legislature has tried to draw a line when it comes to being repeatedly blurred between YouTubers performing personally or Tweeters howling at perceived injustice. Back then, traditional newspapers and television news organizations had been the mainstay of a vibrant, free local press for decades. However, clarifying this distinction has always been difficult. Most people would trust a trained plumber to fix a leaky pipe that flooded their basement, rather than someone who just had a wrench and said he knew the pipes. Wrench doesn’t make a plumber, and Social Media doesn’t make a journalist. Members of the press are trained and adhere to journalistic ethics and standards. The YouTuber in this case will have a hard time convincing any unfriendly reader that he’s a real journalist. But besides that, there are also a lot of serious journalists today who don’t work for any newsroom.

Illustration. The hack brought down the pipeline, now in its sixth day, and led to panic buying and gas shortages in the Southeastern United States. Colonial said it began reopening its pipeline late Wednesday afternoon, a process that could take days, but declined to comment on the ransom issue. Colonial is working closely with law enforcement, the Department of Energy, and US cybersecurity company FireEye to minimize damage and restore operations. Colonial and government responses to the breach are being closely watched following one of the most direct hacking attacks on US critical infrastructure after years of warnings. Ransomware attacks have increased in number and ransom prices, with hackers encrypting data and seeking cryptocurrency payments to unlock. Investigators in the Colonial case say the malware was distributed by a gang known as DarkSide, which consisted of Russian-speaking people and evaded attack targets in the former Soviet Union. DarkSide previously said that it has no intention of meddling in geopolitics and will be more careful about its affiliates going forward. On Wednesday, the group said on its website that it was “dropping” data from three other victims, including a technology company in Chicago. Officials have so far found no significant connection to the Russian government, concluding instead that the pipeline company that supplies 45% of the US East Coast’s oil was crippled by the attack. ransomware. DarkSide allows “affiliates” to infiltrate targets in different places, then handle ransom negotiation and data release. Two people involved in the Colonial investigation said the man linked in this case was a Russian criminal with no special ties to the government.

Leading American fuel pipeline company Colonial shut down its entire network that supplies nearly half of the fuel to the US East Coast, following a May 8 ransomware ransomware attack. Every day, the Colonial company ships 2.5 million barrels of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other products through a 850-kilometer pipeline connecting the eastern and southern coasts of the United States. The company has shut down systems to stop the threat after learning about the attack. According to sources, hackers are most likely a highly professional cybercrime group. And the malware used in the attack is ransomware. Ransomware is a type of malware designed to lock systems by encrypting data and taps money to regain access. This malware has become popular in the past 5 years. The Colonial Company has invited a third-party cybersecurity company to conduct an investigation and contacted law enforcement and other federal agencies to initiate an investigation. Colonial provided no further details or said how long their fuel lines would be closed. “Cyber ​​vulnerabilities have become a systemic issue,” said Ms. Algirde Pipikaite, Head of Network Strategies at the World Economic Forum’s Cyber ​​Security Center. Without measures to protect cybersecurity, attacks are occurring more often on industrial systems such as oil and gas pipelines or water treatment plants. In 2017, Colonial shut down its gas distillation and production lines during Hurricane Harvey that hit the Gulf Coast. That contributes to tight supply and price increases in gasoline in the US.

Quanta is headquartered in Taiwan (China), is the main MacBook manufacturing partner for Apple. The company is also a partner of HP, Facebook, and Alphabet (the parent company of Google). Accordingly, when the event just ended, REvil posted an article containing 15 pictures detailing a device that is supposed to be a MacBook designed in March 2021. Images include the part number, specific sizes and capacities, detailing many of the parts that work inside the Apple laptop. One of the images signed by designer John Andreadis. REvil has asked Apple to pay a ransom of $ 50 million by May 1. Previously, this group posted information on “Happy Blog” – where hackers announced their “victory”. REvil is said to have made an agreement with Quanta before but did not get the victim’s consent, then the new hacker group released the records on the day of the Apple event. Quanta, for its part, admitted the company had suffered a hacker attack but did not detail whether any data was stolen. The Apple partner also reported to law enforcement about the day-to-day attack and said it had immediately activated an information security defense system, upgraded its infrastructure to protect data. Whether. Apple representatives have not released any official comment on the incident. according to Bloomberg
