A group of North Korean hackers has targeted half a dozen pharmaceutical companies in the United States, United Kingdom and South Korea in a coordinated cyberattack.

Kimsuky, a notorious hacker group, targeted drugmakers working on potential coronavirus vaccines and treatments as part of an effort to steal sensitive information that could be sold or weaponized by the North Korean regime.

Authorities said any stolen information could be used to extort victims or give foreign governments a strategic advantage.

Since August, the hackers have worked to infiltrate U.S. companies Johnson & Johnson and Novavax Inc. The hackers also launched coordinated cyberattacks on South Korean companies Genexine Inc., Shin Poong Pharmaceutical Co. and Celltrion Inc., sources told the Wall Street Journal.

This Cyber Monday gaming PC deal with AMD inside for $1,020 is a steal

[email protected]_84 November 30, 2020

As much as I like to build my own systems, there are gaming PC deals that tempt me into going the other direction. This is one of them. CyberPowerPC’s Gamer Supreme with a Ryzen 7 3800X CPU and Radeon RX 5700 XT is on sale for $1,019.99 at Amazon (save $180) for Cyber Monday, and not only does it provide an upgrade path to the Ryzen 5000 series (once those CPUs are more easily attainable), the cost of parts is cheaper than building your own.

Let me qualify that statement. If you were to spec out the same build and factor in the cost of Windows 10, this machine comes out ahead over building your own. The listing does not reveal the exact make and model of most of the parts, but erring on the side of value for some of the unknowns (like the motherboard), I came to around

Hackers could steal a Tesla Model X in minutes, security researchers say

[email protected]_84 November 24, 2020

It was the latest security experiment from the COSIC group at the University of Leuven in Belgium, which had previously found a similar vulnerability with Tesla’s Model S luxury sedan, where a key fob was also to blame.

The researchers said they were able to break into the SUV, which starts at $80,000, using a few hundred dollars’ worth of equipment.

Researchers noted that process took about 90 seconds.

The researchers, who informed the company of their findings on Aug. 17, said Tesla is rolling out an update intended to address the issue. An over-the-air software update is being pushed to the key fobs, they said, which will better lock them down.

Wired was first to report on the vulnerability. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

Lennert Wouters, a PhD student at the COSIC research group, said in an email that the problem is not necessarily unique

One America News, ‘Stop The Steal’ Rallies: Live Tracker of Viral Disinformation

The country song has a jaunty, folksy cadence and offers the false narrative that the Democrats stole the election. It has also gone viral on social media, turning the ditty by a 27-year-old singer-songwriter from Pensacola, Fla., into a protest anthem for President Trump’s supporters.

“When I went to sleep Trump had the lead,” begins the song, which is called “Pallets Full of Ballots.” It continues: “They found pallets full of ballots at 3 a.m. All the way from Georgia to Michigan.”

The song, which erroneously suggests that Democrats stuffed “pallets full of ballots” to try and swing the vote, underlines how President Trump’s unsubstantiated accusations of voter fraud are infiltrating popular culture.

By Thursday, a video of the song had logged more than 650,000 views on YouTube, a week after it was posted. It was also released on Spotify. While YouTube affixed a label to the video of the

The rise and fall of the ‘Stop the Steal’ Facebook group explained

[email protected]_84 November 8, 2020

Oakland, California: The first post in the new Facebook group that was started Wednesday was innocuous enough. “Welcome” to Stop the Steal, it said.

But an hour later, the group uploaded a minute-long video to its Facebook page with a pointed message. The grainy footage showed a crowd outside a polling station in Detroit, shouting and chanting “stop the count.” Below the video, which was quickly shared nearly 2,000 times, members of the group commented “Biden is stealing the vote” and “this is unfair.”

The viral video helped turn the Stop the Steal Facebook group into one of the fastest-growing groups in Facebook’s history. By Thursday morning, less than 22 hours after it was started, it had amassed more than 320,000 users — at one point gaining 100 new members every

President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that Democrats and former Vice President Joe Biden are attempting to “steal” the election are gaining momentum on social media, plunging Facebook and Twitter into the most dangerous and volatile period since Election Day.

Goaded by prominent conservatives, Trump supporters are rallying behind election-fraud conspiracies such as #StopTheSteal and #Sharpiegate, referring to the debunked claim that some Arizona ballots filled out using Sharpie markers were not being counted, even as results from battleground states put Biden on the brink of winning the presidency.

“We expect now at this point that these narratives are going to survive the election and last for quite a long time, perhaps becoming either consolidated into existing conspiracy frameworks such as QAnon or

Facebook shuts down huge ‘Stop the Steal’ group

[email protected]_84 November 5, 2020

As of Thursday morning, a huge Facebook group called “Stop the Steal” was organizing rallies and fundraising to challenge election results across the US. The group accumulated more than 300,000 members in the less than 48 hours it existed before Facebook removed it on Thursday afternoon.

“In line with the exceptional measures that we are taking during this period of heightened tension, we have removed the Group ‘Stop the Steal’ which was creating real-world events,” a Facebook company spokesperson said in a statement. “The group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process, and we saw worrying calls for violence from members of the group.”

The Stop the Steal group, created on Wednesday, was littered with election misinformation accusing Democrats of plotting to steal the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump before it was taken

Facebook bans ‘STOP THE STEAL’ group Trump allies were using to organize protests against vote counting

[email protected]_84 November 5, 2020

President Trump’s allies have turned to Facebook and other social-media sites in an effort to spark nationwide protests against the 2020 election, thrusting some of Silicon Valley’s most powerful organizing tools into a contest over the legitimacy of American democracy.

Trump supporters rally Thursday in Detroit, Mich.

The campaign and its aides have relied on a network of new and existing Facebook pages, groups and events — some of which have garnered hundreds of thousands of members — to rally people in public this week around a baseless conspiracy theory that Democratic candidate Joe Biden is attempting to “steal” the election. Some of the efforts promoted in places like Pennsylvania and Arizona specifically target vote-counting centers, threatening disruptions while ballot tallying is still underway.

The online efforts have unfolded not on the Republican Party’s fringes but well within its mainstream. Among the most vocal leaders is
