Dan GoodinSigh. Let's see if y'all can play along at home:
The FCC and the FBI's Denver field office are both warning people to beware of Juice Jacking attacks at airports and other public places. Both cite "cybersecurity experts."
https://www.fcc.gov/juice-jacking-dangers-public-usb-charging-stations
An FBI spox told me the Denver field office warning was reporting information from the FCC. An FCC spox said its information came from a 2019 NYT article, but that the agency has received consumer complaints of juice jacking.The NYT article cited a warning from the LA DA's office. The DA's post was taken down in December 2021, a couple weeks after @zackwhittaker reported DA officials had no cases and could point to no cases of it happening.
Even though the the LA DA's warning was depublished ~18 months ago and the FCC spox can't name a single cybersecurity expert issuing such warnings, there are no plans to correct the post and no mechanism for the public to challenge the warning.

Kim ZetterNew law in Belgium allows "ethical" hackers to hack Belgian companies without their permission. The law requires hackers to report any vulnerabilities they find within 72 hours of discovering them. "You can't just test the security of a system and then say nothing about it afterwards."
Hackers also are prohibited from asking for a bounty "otherwise it is the same principle as asking for a ransom."
"There are more than 3,000 ethical hackers in Belgium. They will be able to see whether the data of an average citizen is properly secured. If the government comes up with a corona app, ethical hackers can now legally test it."

- don't save money
- don't improve company performance
- don't increase stock pricess
- destroy trust
- have huge impacts on health, well-being, and income of employees
So why do layoffs? It's a network effect: execs lay people off because other companies are doing it

What explains recent tech layoffs, and why should we be worried? | Stanford News
As layoffs in the tech sector mount, Stanford Graduate School of Business Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer is worried. Research – by him, and others – has shown that the stress layoffs create takes a devastating toll on behavioral and physical health and increases mortality and morbidity substantially. Layoffs literally kill people, he said.
Sarah McLaughlinWhat a foolish thing to say. Maybe oppression only feels like freedom to you because you're not the one bearing the brunt of it.
There's always someone admiring the boot when they're not the one being crushed under it.
