PLEASE SHARE: Folks, I need *public domain* or *purchasable stock imagery* photos of especially older women holding signs in protests that essentially say "I can't believe I still have to protest this shit". They *cannot* be CC-licensed - they either have to be public domain or licensed for royalty-based purchase since they'll be in an e-book.

This is an excellent example from Shutterstock: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/older-woman-holding-sign-that-believe-1632293194

And here's another good example from Alamy: https://www.alamy.com/womens-rights-equal-pay-for-women-rally-trafalgar-square-london-england-image62186118.html

ICYMI from Def Con: Security researcher Eaton Zveare found bugs in a carmaker's centralized dealer web portal's login flow that allowed "unfettered access" to customer data and systems inside. The portal allowed the remote controlling of some car functions, like door unlocking.

Zveare said the bugs, now fixed, highlight the risks of these web-connected data portals that contain gobs of customers' data.

China's APT cyberspies are some of the best in the business. But how did the hackers get their start? Turns out many were "Honkers" - patriotic hackers in their teens and 20s who, in the late 90s, launched nationalistic cyberattacks against countries they deemed disrespectful to China. But as the Honkers developed their skills over time, the PLA and MSS came calling. In recent years they have been tied to prolific APT groups responsible for hundreds of intrusions in the US and around the world; and some have been indicted. Some of them also launched companies, like i-Soon, that have played an integral role in China's state hacking operations. Here's my story, based on great research from Eugenio Benincasa and Adam Kozy.
