With weeks to go before the bill expires at the end of Congress, this is the last chance for U.S. senators to vote on the PRESS Act, a bipartisan federal "shield" law that protects journalists from giving up their sources, and more.
It's the bill that the House *unanimously* passed in January, but yet it's been collecting dust in the Senate for a vote ever since.

Laffy“4 cities across the US are seeking more than $700,000 from #Trump's campaign team as reimbursement for rallies they helped stage between 2016 and 2019, according to a Newsweek investigation.
The cities—El Paso, Texas; Spokane, Washington; Mesa, Arizona; and Green Bay, Wisconsin—all said they had outstanding invoices with Trump's team.”

Breaking: AT&T has reset millions of customer account passcodes after a huge cache of data containing AT&T customer records was dumped online earlier this month, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.
A security researcher who analyzed the leaked data told TechCrunch that the encrypted account passcodes are easy to decipher. TechCrunch held the publication of this story until AT&T could reset customer account passcodes.

AndresFreundTecI was doing some micro-benchmarking at the time, needed to quiesce the system to reduce noise. Saw sshd processes were using a surprising amount of CPU, despite immediately failing because of wrong usernames etc. Profiled sshd, showing lots of cpu time in liblzma, with perf unable to attribute it to a symbol. Got suspicious. Recalled that I had seen an odd valgrind complaint in automated testing of postgres, a few weeks earlier, after package updates.
Really required a lot of coincidences.
The FBI's Operation 'Duck Hunt' tricked thousands of Qakbot-infected computers into downloading an FBI-made uninstaller.
Here's how the operation went down.

This is such a good but frustrating story:
Data brokers raise privacy concerns — but still get millions from the U.S. government.
Why? Because if you sign up for healthcare, or try to log in to pay your taxes, or access your Social Security benefits, you need... a credit card. Yep, that's how the U.S. government authenticates who you are.... by checking your records against a credit agency.
@alng explains this dumbassery extremely well.
