An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: Berlin is being blackmailed by hackers who were able to compromise city systems and steal data earlier this month, its mayor has said. Kai Wegner said officials would not cave in to the ransom demand, which came on Thursday evening. He did not say how much was being sought, though Der Spiegel reports the hackers are demanding 30 bitcoin, worth around 2 million euros. Some of the German capital's online systems were forced to close down as a result of the attack, while investigators were working to understand what data had been taken.

The Rhysida group, which is thought to operate from Russia and eastern Europe, and was behind a previous attack on the British Museum, has reportedly taken responsibility. It has said on its website it intends to begin auctioning the 5.79 terabytes of data it was able to steal from Berlin in seven days' time, according to news agency Reuters. [...] Officials for the city-state said an initial data leak occurred between August 7 and 12. Then, on August 14, two department networks were shut down, making applications for housing benefits and payments impossible for several days. "Berlin will not be blackmailed," Wegner said on Friday.

He said state police, prosecutors and federal security services were working to investigate the suspected perpetrators "with the utmost urgency," adding that inquiries into the "content and scope of the compromised data are being pursued with great intensity."

Washington says it acted after observing Iran was planning to deploy fresh mines in strait of Hormuz

• Middle East crisis live – latest updates

The US and Iran have exchanged fire for the first time in a month, with missiles and drones fired at Iranian rocket launchers on an island in the strait of Hormuz, and Iran targeting US military bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates in response.

The US president, Donald Trump, on Monday threatened further action. The US is to trying to prise open Tehran’s grip on shipping going through the strait, which before the war accounted for a fifth of the world’s seaborne energy supply. Washington claimed that Iranian control over the waterway had been loosened by repeated US attacks on Iranian missile launchers and radars.

The president’s deportation machine is creating a class of people inside the US who have fewer protections against the power of the state

Is the Trump administration creating a group in the US with fewer protections against executive power owing to their immigration status? Its often openly racist actions suggest so. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claims to target “the worst of the worst” – undocumented migrants who commit violent crimes. Yet the Guardian reported that over half of those arrested in July had no criminal convictions or pending charges. That month, ICE made record arrests and deportations, apprehending 1,500 people and removing 1,100 daily.

When campaigning, Donald Trump falsely claimed that Haitians were “eating the pets”. In office, his administration moved to end temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitians. In June, the supreme court let the protection expire, leaving about 350,000 people at risk of deportation to a country gripped by violence and instability. The court’s decision means more than 1 million TPS holders from 13 nations previously considered too unsafe to return to are now at risk of deportation. Many have lived and worked legally in the US for years.

New child safety measures are welcome, but the wider risks posed by these platforms remain unaddressed

“Hook, hold, harvest and hide” was how Megan O’Neill, a lawyer for the US state of California, characterised Meta’s business model in the trial that ended last week with an $18bn settlement, to be shared between the states and territories that brought the case. It was a clever way to describe the company’s approach to users’ attention and data. But the sharpness of her words was not matched by the deal. While the strengthening of child safety features is welcome, the tech giant once again batted off efforts to alter its products.

Meta’s decision to settle enabled it to avoid any admission of liability. It put a stop to the awkward questions being asked of witnesses including Adam Mosseri, Instagram’s CEO, and the damaging claims made by whistleblowers such as Arturo Béjar. This former Meta safety engineer told the court that his own daughter had been sent unsolicited photos of male genitals on Instagram.

De Rotterdamse burgemeester Carola Schouten werd maandag door een speciale commissie van de Tweede Kamer gehoord over haar rol tijdens de coronacrisis. Ze was in die periode minister en vicepremier. Volgens Schouten werd er teveel gekeken naar modellen en cijfers en te weinig naar de sociale gevolgen van maatregelen.

"The future has vanished. The only future we talk about are different dystopian scenarios involving climate, demography, artificial intelligence. The disappearance of the future is a major contrast with America's history and America's self-understanding." In the NYT, an interview with Ivan Krastev: The Vertigo Theory of Trump 2.0 (archive).

But to brush our predicament off as lazy wastrel dimwittedness is to ignore the big, systemic forces that are aligning against us. (slMacleans)

I do appreciate that the author talks about how deck is stacked against pretty much anyone who isn't a high earner, how UBI would be helpful, and again, the blame cannot be placed on people's choices because even the "right" choices can still fail. I mean at I am towards the tail end of Gen X babies (currently 49, but 50 is on the horizon) so the illustrations feel very strange to me!

Broadcom has decided to take responsibility for the security of some important open-source software, namely the Spring Java application framework and RabbitMQ. Australian developer Rod Johnson created the precursor to Spring in 2002, then found collaborators to tread the well-worn path towards monetizing open source software by starting a company called SpringSource to offer support and services for their creation. VMware acquired SpringSource and made it part of its Pivotal Software joint venture with EMC. Pivotal went on to pioneer the approaches to software development that became microservices and cloud-native computing. Much of the software Pivotal created later became part of VMware’s Tanzu brand. The Tanzu Kubernetes Grid lives on as the vSphere Kubernetes Service that adds support for containerized apps to VMware’s flagship Cloud Foundation suite. Broadcom also runs a Tanzu division which sells the VMware Tanzu Platform, a bundle that includes platform-as-a-service tools and a Spring implementation. Because Spring is FOSS, the Tanzu division contributes heavily to the many open-source components that comprise it, and to other FOSS projects often used in Spring implementations. The new TrueSource by Broadcom offering, announced today ahead of VMware’s annual Explore conference, will see the company identify key components that Spring users rely on and work to ensure that they are secure. “The idea is to provide a set of solutions focused on providing clean and secure artefacts,” Purnima Padmanabhan, vice president of Broadcom’s Tanzu Division, told The Register. “We choose and build every Spring library, databases, other Java components,” she said. Padmanabhan said that promise means VMware will also provide “TrueSource trusted artifacts” for code that is not part of Spring, including the wider Java ecosystem, Python, and Node.js. “Broadcom’s curation process ensures that the libraries conform to a reference architecture and are supportable by the maintainers of record,” according to a company statement. “Thousands of engineers across Broadcom’s software divisions scan, fix, contribute to, and consume them every day.” A VMware spokesperson told The Register the Broadcom business unit “will work with and support maintainers on open source software and we will provide fixes to open source upstream for any active projects.” “With Spring and RabbitMQ, we are the maintainers. For other open source software, we will work with the maintainers. We believe that the community maintainers must remain the source of truth,” the spokesperson said. This is just the sort of contribution that the open-source community wants vendors to do to reflect the value they extract from software they did not create alone. It’s also the sort of thing vendors sometimes conclude they need to do to keep products based on FOSS viable. ®

KYIV (ANP) - De Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky zegt de Amerikaanse gezanten Steve Witkoff en Jared Kushner te hebben bijgepraat over de situatie op het slagveld. Daar boekt Rusland volgens de Oekraïense leider slechts weinig terreinwinst, terwijl het voor die beperkte overwinningen wel een hoge prijs betaalt.

Kyiv en de VS kijken naar een geschikte datum waarop de Amerikaanse afgevaardigden naar Oekraïne kunnen afreizen. "Zo'n reis zou uiterst nuttig zijn om tot oplossingen voor vrede te komen", aldus Zelensky.

Hoewel al maanden wordt gesproken over een mogelijk bezoek, werd een geplande trip in augustus uitgesteld, naar verluidt vanwege de toegenomen Russische aanvallen op Oekraïne. Noch Witkoff, noch Kushner is in functie in Oekraïne geweest. Wel is Witkoff meermaals naar Moskou afgereisd voor overleg met president Vladimir Poetin. Mogelijk wordt een bezoek van de twee aan Kyiv gecombineerd met een bezoek aan Moskou, al heeft zowel de VS als Rusland die geruchten niet bevestigd.

In één klap krijgen de VS de controle over een voorraad van 65 miljard vaten Venezolaanse olie. Een flinke opsteker voor de Amerikanen, bezweert president Donald Trump, hopend op een positieve invloed op de naderende Congresverkiezingen. Maar of de olie ook echt gaat vloeien, is nog zeer de vraag.
