Pretty big story here from Chris Bing. Deep dive on Indian hackers who do hands on keyboard work for filthy lucre. Lawyers involved in legal disputes in the US have been hiring Indian hackers to phish opposition lawyers and clients and steal documents.
Reuters got their hands on almost a decade of email spools from the hacker’s attack accounts. Analysis reviews some completely wild numbers, like 80k emails sent to 13k targets, or targeting 1000 lawyers in 108 law firms. Spray and pray.

Apparently “Fountain” by Duchamp was created by a female artist. He says in a letter that she sent it to him. This is quite remarkable.

Kaspersky discovers poorly detected backdoor, targeting governments and NGOs around the globe
Kaspersky experts have brought to light a poorly detected SessionManager backdoor that was set up as a malicious module within the Internet Information Services (IIS), a popular web server edited by Microsoft. Once propagated, SessionManager enables a wide range of malicious activities, starting from collecting emails to complete control over the victim’s infrastructure. First leveraged in late March 2021, the newly discovered backdoor has hit governmental institutions and NGOs in Africa, South ...

I am very uncertain about the value of this work. The part where they use it to show police bias in solving crimes, where crimes in poor neighbourhoods result in fewer arrests than in wealthy neighbourhoods — sure, great to have data for that (we already had it), but without the political will to do anything what good is it?
I’m curious about a number of things, for example predicting murders in Chicago a week in advance during 2017 is not a particularly hard feat. There are patterns of violence which create clusters of murders in time and space. These murders aren’t events that could be stopped by increased police presence for that week, because the social dynamics of what is causing the violence isn’t being addressed.
#AI can predict the location of crimes in the coming week with up to 90 per cent accuracy, but there are concerns how systems like this can perpetuate racial bias
