There has been increased ransomware attacks on business. I personally don't see this becoming any better. Some say it's because companies have poor security measures, but obviously there are those who make a living getting around them.
It will lead to ever increasing and smarter systems to attack and protect, ever increasing smarter AI to do this.

AI that will learn, all by itself to defend and attack, hopefully not get out of control and move to the preemptive stage.

Who really knows where half these attacks come from? A few conspiracies can be conjured :)

Foreign War Has Not Made America a Garrison State by Michael Lind
For generations, Americans opposed to foreign wars have warned that they might result in the conversion of American society into a garrison state. But there are other ways in which foreign policy can undermine the economic, political, and social foundations of a democratic republic like the United States, to the point at which it becomes a different kind of regime.

Given the Biden administration’s mantra—as stated by Secretary of State Antony Blinken—that the U.S.-China relationship “will be competitive where it should be, collaborative where it can be, and adversarial where it must be,” Doshi’s discussion of the prospects for bilateral cooperation merits attention.

First Thing: Texas Democrats leave state to thwart voting restrictions bill
Lawmakers flew to Washington in an effort to block bill described as “Jim Crow 2.0” by the left

Good morning

Texas Democrats have fled the state in an escalation of one of the most high-stakes battles over voting rights in the US.

In flying to Washington DC, they once again deny Republicans the required two-thirds quorum needed to conduct business, this time in a special session called by the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, specifically to pass a voting restrictions bill described by the left as “Jim Crow 2.0”.

  • Texas Democrats thwarted Republican efforts on this bill once before when they walked out of the state capitol in May. Abbott had the authority to call a special session that is basically legislative overtime, which he promptly did.

  • A special session can last a maximum of 30 days, and Republicans have already vowed to use “every available resource” to secure quorum and call Democrats back.

  • Democrats face potential arrest, as Republicans can authorize law enforcement to haul the Democratic legislators back to the state. They did so in 2003, when Democrats fled the state over electoral maps.

  • This bill seeks to lower the bar for overturning an election, ban 24-hour and drive-thru voting, restrict the use of drop boxes and make it a state jail felony for a public official to proactively solicit or send vote-by-mail applications.

  • Texas is already one of the hardest places to vote in the US. It is one of the few places that does not have online voter registration nor does it allow everyone to vote by mail, and it had one of the lowest voter turnouts in 2020.
Biden to call out Trump’s lies about stolen election in Tuesday speech
Joe Biden is set to deliver a speech from Philadelphia today aggressively denouncing Donald Trump’s “big lie” about a stolen election and talking about how it directly led to the 6 January insurrection and a rash of voter restrictions.

After months of dancing around conflict with his predecessor in an effort to cool the political climate, Biden will call out “the greatest irony of ‘the big lie’”, said the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki: “No election in our history has met such a high standard.”

Wildfires burn across western states as heatwave reaches new highs
There has been little relief in the west, as wildfires blazed in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Idaho amid record-breaking temperatures.

State regulators are asking consumers to voluntarily “conserve as much electricity as possible” to avoid outages, with one fire in Oregon disrupting service on three transmission lines providing up to 5,500 megawatts of electricity to neighboring California.

Forty-three bodies found in Arizona’s borderland amid heatwave
The heatwave continues to take its toll on the west, with a border not-for-profit reporting that an unusually large number of migrants who died in Arizona’s borderlands are being recovered this summer amid record temperatures.

The 43 bodies were found last month, during the hottest June on record for Phoenix.

Russian-based hacking group REvil disappears from the internet



What The World is following
Russian-based hacking group REvil disappears from the internet

REvil offline
REvil, a Russia-based hacking group behind recent ransomware attacks that crippled companies worldwide, has gone offline. While the criminal syndicate’s dark web data-leak site and the portal where ransom was negotiated are now unreachable, the reason behind the disappearance is still unknown. On a call last week, US President Joe Biden told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he needed to curb the cyber attacks from Russia-based groups. But there is still no indication that REvil was taken down by government authorities. The group operated off a model of offering “ransomware as a service,” leasing out its ability to extort companies to other criminals and keep a percentage of the ransom money.

Masih Alinejad
Four Iranian intelligence officials have been charged in New York’s Federal court with plotting to kidnap Iranian American journalist and activist Masih Alinejad, who has been critical of the Iranian government. The US justice department said that Iranian officials planned to lure Alinejad, a US citizen living in New York, to a third country in order to abduct her. Alinejad was not identified directly by prosecutors, but she confirmed in an interview that she was the target of the plot. Alinejad wrote an opinion piece in the Washington Post last year titled “Iranian officials have declared they want to kidnap me. It’s happened to others before.” Other charges against the alleged conspirators who live in Iran include sanctions violations, bank and wire fraud and money laundering.

Canada First Nations
The Penelakut Tribe in British Columbia, Canada, said it has found over 160 unmarked graves in what was home to the Kuper Island Residential School for Indigenous children, run by the Catholic Church with funding from the Canadian government. This is the fourth such finding in the past two months in Canada. The school, which operated from 1890 to the mid-1970s on Penelakut Island as part of a campaign to assimilate Indigenous children into white Canadian society, was demolished in the 1980s. The Canadian government has admitted that physical and sexual abuse was rampant in the schools.

US bans some solar products from Xinjiang, citing human rights abuses of Uyghur people

Credit: Mark Schiefelbein/AP/File photo
The US has banned some solar products from China's Xinjiang province after a recent report revealed that makers of polysilicon — a key component of solar panels — used the forced labor of Uyghur people. Companies in the region produce 45% of the world's polysilicon, which is then shipped around the world, said Laura Murphy, a human rights researcher.

Bright spot
Treasure hunt!
1f50d


Polish treasure hunter Przemyslaw Witkowski has found silver coins in a cornfield that were minted more than 1,100 years ago — around the time when a Viking army laid siege to Paris in 845. One theory is that the invaders were paid off to preserve the city. But others say the coins are from years before the siege. Whatever the back story, archaeologists are stoked by the rare find.
