Cyberthreats and loss of revenue rise as employees work from home, even as furloughs and job redundancy threaten to shrink the security workforce

Exabeam has released new research that identified initial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on security teams. The report suggests increases in both cyber and financial risks since the onset of the health crisis in the first half of 2020. During this time, 80 percent of companies saw ‘slightly to considerably more’ cyberattack attempts, breaking down to 88 percent in the U.S. and 74 percent in the U.K.

On the 40th anniversary of the Olympic Games Moscow 1980, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach reflected with sadness on the boycott of the Games that denied athletes the opportunity to achieve their Olympic dream.

A US-led boycott reduced the number of participating nations to 80, the lowest number since 1956, as part of a series of measures to protest against the December 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

President Bach, who won Olympic Gold in fencing for West Germany at the Olympic Games Montreal 1976, represented West German athletes in the public debate over whether the country should join the boycott. In the end, they were one of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to stay away from the Moscow Games, and it is something that still saddens President Bach.

He said: “The boycott of Moscow has achieved nothing at all. And this has been admitted also by all the major actors, at least in Germany, who were there at the time, who already a couple of months later in conversations told me, ‘We made a mistake. This was not the right thing to do.’ And even the then Chancellor, who was really pressing us at the time in favour of the boycott, took until 2008, but then he finally admitted that it was a mistake.”

War on the Suburbs: How HUD's Housing Policies Became a Weapon for Social ChangeThere are few things more synonymous with the American way of life than the suburbs. While certainly not without problems, the suburbs have been home to middle class Americans since the end of World War 2, and even before. But the suburbs are under attack from certain elements of the left as a source of social inequality and (what else?) “white privilege” and “white supremacy.”

If you are alarmed by this article, that’s a good thing. Because these elements of the American left seek nothing more than the total destruction of your way of life, from the people who live in your communities to the types of houses that you live in to the places where you will be allowed to shop and how you get from one place to another.

The policy is called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), but beyond this specific HUD policy, there’s a philosophical and political attack on suburbs that goes well in excess of any single policy. There is, without mincing words, a War on the Suburbs in America. It is a war not against a geographical location or a type of housing or community, but an attack on a way of life.

My Dear Britannia,

 

I have just watched a policeman in GREAT Britain on Sky News kneeling on a man’s (suspect’s?) neck and I started screaming: UNBRITISH! UNBRITISH! UNBRITISH!
