The Dark Side of Social Media: A Look at Cybersecurity Threats and Global Implications

In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. Platforms like GitHub, Telegram, and others have made it easier for people to connect, share, and collaborate. However, with the rise of social media comes a plethora of cybersecurity threats that can compromise our online safety and security.

One such threat is the use of malware to gain unauthorized access to industrial control systems (ICS). In January, hackers targeted the ICS system in Kiev, Ukraine, causing a 2-day shutdown of heating in the city. The malware was specifically designed to target the Industrial Automation and Safety Systems that controlled the Citywide boiler heating systems. This attack highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyber threats.

Researchers believe that the malware was not a traditional Crowdstrike-style attack, which typically targets Windows-connected machines. Instead, it targeted the ICS system itself, highlighting the need for greater cybersecurity awareness and protection measures in industries that rely on these systems.

The attack on Kiev also raises concerns about global connectivity and the potential for cyber threats to spread across borders. Researchers discovered that other control systems, similar to those targeted in Kiev, were being used by companies around the world. This suggests that the attack may have been part of a larger campaign to target critical infrastructure globally.

Furthermore, the attack highlights the use of globalization in the hiring practices of companies like CrowdStrike, which hired a fake employee from North Korea. The fake employee was able to install malware on their laptop, which ultimately compromised the company's systems and led to the attack on Kiev. This raises questions about the vetting process for employees and the potential risks of outsourcing work to countries with lax cybersecurity standards.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber threats is also becoming increasingly prevalent. Telegram, a popular messaging app, recently fell victim to a zero-day exploit that allowed malicious files to masquerade as videos. The exploit was able to install malware on users' devices without their knowledge or consent. This highlights the need for greater cybersecurity awareness and vigilance when using social media platforms.

In other news, California's largest trial court in the US recently fell victim to a ransomware attack. The attack delayed several trials, but ultimately, the court was able to recover from the attack. However, this raises questions about the potential for cyber threats to disrupt critical infrastructure, including courts and justice systems.

Additionally, there is growing concern about the underreporting of crime statistics in certain cities. In some areas, law enforcement agencies are no longer reporting crimes to the FBI, which has skewed national crime statistics. This highlights the need for greater transparency and cooperation between law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity experts.

Finally, the use of social media platforms to spread misinformation and propaganda is becoming increasingly common. In this article, we will explore these themes in more depth and examine the implications of these trends for individuals, businesses, and governments.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome back to the L1 show today is 7:30 and we're doing government and security stories to start the week let's start with the FTC doing something that seems just good what yes we're getting more and more of that lately the FTC launches a probe into the surveillance pricing quote unquote that it says it links cost to customer data now we've covered in the past where the FTC has done this at the macroscopic scale where Amazon is looking at Walmart or Best Buy or whatever to do pricing this is also looking at you what are you the individual willing to pay for something do you see different prices if you're in Incognito or not the FTC is going to be shocked when they get to the airline industry now the President appoints the FCC chair right is that true for the FTC as well I think so probably Lena KH has got no revolving door what is she going to do because she's going to get replaced right that's going to be bad because the next person is going to see that and be like oh I shouldn't make these people angry which is what we need and T-Mobile they are it's interesting because the FCC didn't they Telegraph this yeah a couple of months ago and T-Mobile looked at that and they were like we don't care yeah FCC blasts T-Mobile's 365-day phone locking proposes a 60-day unlock rule TMobile says no that's not reasonable we think people will steal phones that's true it's not reasonable zero that's the reasonable number anything above that solidly unreasonable well one of the things that happened that carriers pointed to as the reason for needing this is that people would hack other people's T-Mobile accounts and then sign up for a bunch of lines to get the free iPhones and then pick up the iPhones and then somebody would be like why did my bill go up to $800 a month and T-Mobile would say you added seven new lines and the person would say no I didn't and then it would be a mess but perhaps that stems from T-Mobile's bad Security in the first place that how about a bad business model that deal doesn't make any sense does it there's a loophole now this one is it's a long explanation we have talked about this a lot and for a long time CU this been percolating for a long time it's amazing though that it was already really bad and they're working hard to push it even further in that direction Congress really really wants to let private companies own the law and by private companies owning the law that means that the companies that come up with standards for things own the standard and it's only published by the one person in a manner they deem fit although they did squeak in some language that's like well it'll be available online maybe into the law uh and so when you do that it incentivizes companies to come up with really elaborate laws because are coming up with the standard see also the National Electric Code or the national plumbing code it's like no these things should be open you should be able to do with it whatever you want take a copy of it and rehost it yourself and for some reason that seems like not an okay thing to do or but see it's even worse than that because they're writing the laws which are bloated and honorous and then they summarize those laws and copyright the summaries and we have covered stories in the past where goods were like this doesn't make any sense this is the law it should be for the people I'll subscribe and reprint it and guess what happens to them yeah nothing good and so this is literally we let the corporations write the laws then we let them own the access to the laws and then we get in trouble when we don't know the laws because we don't have access to them a lot of the time too as taxpayers we have paid for companies to do these kinds of things uh certainly like research we paid for research and then Aaron Schwarz is like wait a minute taxpayer money paid for these things I should make them available on the on the internet for free and then a prosecutor was like I'm going to bully you until you no longer want to live and destroying the free internet is certainly at the top of the list for the leaders of the world that's exactly what they're looking to do here uh Ron widen has secured a kids online safety act win but he's actually going to vote no because he recognized how honorous and terrible it was I think it's because he didn't get his pork that he wanted right and some of his enemies did that means no no one can have anything because that's the way it works cuz we could never do one law at a time they must always be rolled into a law burrito yeah this was uh this was a thing it's compelling commentary right there subscribe for patreon and Float playing level one and this was a thing about seeing other people's things except not really their things but close enough that maybe it's still a problem aoc's deep fake AI porn Bill unanimously passed is the Senate demonetized basically yeah there's a lot of things probably more likely for AOC than the other thing which is crazy but uh yeah so this is uh criminal consequences if you do this and it harms someone which I would have thought that under existing laws harming someone in this way but this makes it worse I don't know where the line is here I'm hoping I didn't read the law I don't know feel like this is going to catch me up in it I'm not generating I'm not generating FS of any kind but I hope that there's something here that says that you have to show intent that that was her right or that was the person and not just like oh that looks a little bit like me you go to jail or something like that it is a reprehensible thing to do and uh the trade Wars are going hot and it seems like our efforts against China haven't really added up China has dodged it they've developed their own stuff they seem to be doing okay we need to go further apparently the US urges vigilance by Tech startups and Venture Capital firms on foreign funds so China is apparently pretty good at worming their way into startups and putting somebody in there who's kind of a sleeper at least that's what's being accused here and uh they're worried about that but when you're a startup you're taking money from anybody you can yeah certainly that's a thing that happens with encryption standards that's uh that's the whole belt and Road thing that's like China's Mo right they just give you a bunch of money and then they call those favors in later let's let's Jo toose this with the when the oil industry started no no we would never do that USA USA oh when documentary like why do we have an American flag on the table it's because it's the Olympic opening anybody anybody eat pineapple this week cuz there's a similar story and uh new robots that will be apparently kicking in our doors the DHS has a denial of service robot that disables the internet of things things to booby trap that may booby trap inside homes that a weird headline or or if you're a cynic and I can't believe 404 media doesn't touch on this enough if you have cameras inside your house like the whole Jamie Thomas thing like the whole whole you know and you see what's the the rapper uh which one the one where they ate the cake that was in his house and he filmed it all and he released it as a music video oh that was incredible I can't remember his name well they they disabled his cameras manually but he had more other cameras that they didn't disable in order for like that's it's like there's one set of cameras that's there for you to find but there was yet another set of cameras which is amazing that he was so cical that he did that but then it turned out he was justified in doing that does that make you cical at that point makes you right yeah so you might be thinking well okay why would they need these now if you read the press release it's like oh dangerous Internet of Things booby traps right you got like a spike pit maybe maybe a giant giant bould a mo in there you got a giant boulder that's uh triggered by your ring door camera none of that has ever happened there's the one case that they reference here is that one guy had a ring doorbell and he saw that they were coming in and he prepared himself for that and so that has become robot dogs with jamers on how don't spot start at like 70,000 who knows how expensive these are oh yeah for sure I don't this is not a spot this is a knockoff I'm sorry is it illegal for me to have something to Bear witness to reality here so that you can't lie about the circumstances because how often has that happened a lot and this does not stop at your doorstep the United States government wants to stop all of of the cameras us prepares jamming devices targeting Russian and Chinese satellites the uh whoever they contacted about this was very clear that no no no we don't want to destroy them we just want to make sure that they're not functional whenever we decide but I think that is purely because they know that destroying them causes Kesler syndrome and that's going to hurt our satellites so this is interesting they have uh some locations which they are already deploying these but then they also have mobile versions so we can mobile satellite block eventually I guess that's going to suck if War breaks out and then everything just goes blank we got no communication oh yeah they'll the the military will still have communications we will not right well no I'm saying China and Russia would be yeah turning off of our stuff good thing all my door sensors are wired man that robot dog would have no problem getting into your house yeah once all the satellites went down and crowd strike it seems like it's over we've lived through the worst it disaster of our lifetimes and uh now it's just time to mop up I don't think there's a lot of question at this point right I think we understand the situation yeah do we need this Crow CEO to testify about the massive outage that halted flights in hospitals uh well sir it turns out that all of our digital infrastructure is very fragile and poorly made it's made out of papier-mâché and chewed bubble gum and that's basically how everything is and ours happen to be the toothpick that collapsed under the weight but it could have literally been anybody else's toothpick but we Ed Bazooka Joe gum so like we're better than the other guys at least and those Fearless leaders of our again uh they really attracted to the layups aren't they the questions that are already answered us opens investigation into Delta after Airline cancels thousands of flights conveniently Delta is going to have some it companies to blame for the outage we know what happened it's been explained why is this just making a paper trail so they can this is an election year yeah this is sound bites and this is this is going to lead to like we were studying the standards and it's like there's a financial incentive for companies to come up with standards there's going to be a company that does not actually make any of this software or work in this infrastructure or they they don't work a lot and they're going to come up with standards that then everybody has to comply with that makes everything run slower and be worse and has back doors yeah not that we don't need standards we definitely do but we need a concerted effort to earnestly do them and it is going to be co-opted by the worst of us like our government and let's talk about the one that came I guess this was not even the last one it was probably the one before the last one right but the other big outage that hurt everything we are now finally getting some answers about that but we're also bickering in Washington as we usually do who's in charge judge on in the solar winds case rejects the SEC oversight of cyber security controls this is good because when the SEC did this I was sort of asking myself the SEC is in charge of cyber security Now what they're like they got a taste of that Bitcoin power and they were like yeah I like this doesn't the Chevron ruling here also mean that the sdc's decision to self do all this stuff for crypto platforms goes away I think that probably waited into it right because if it went to court that ain't going to work anymore coinbase needs to be filing some new appeals good Lord and is Facebook just a information database is it just something that tells you things or does it actively participate in your use of social media the courts have been arguing about this for a long time for once they seem to be going with the they are not just a a store of information social media platforms that M user data aren't shielded by Federal Communications law California Court says so this is if somebody posts something to your platform and it is you know dangerous or you know illegal or whatever terrorist propaganda and you mine that for data because you mined it for data you should have noticed that it was the Forbidden content and take it down which is an interesting reasoning but I I don't know I kind of like it because not as a not not on the face of it but it creates a nice loophole that says oh you don't want to be responsible for the 230 stuff don't look at it if we can prove you looked at it you're on the hook that would destroy the business model but be good for the consumer and uh Global Tax H I don't like the sound of that but a lot of people do reuter's headline is digital tax talks in the G20 Spotlight as the US tariff threat Loom we've got a lot of stories this week about Global Tax and like Global Revenue stuff and it occurred to me that since the early 2000s to now with all of the AI stuff companies are now getting 10 to one done with labor we have not seen that in Government taxes must go up and the impetus for Global Tax is to have more money to do more things meanwhile improvements in manufacturing and in the industrial sector mean that we can get a lot more done with a lot less weirdly that doesn't seem to be happening with government I can give you a real simple explanation for that all that time when we were increasing that industrialization and output we were spending right now's money so we've been spending so far ahead of the curve that we'll never catch up we would have to have more than exponential growth in order to catch up is what you're saying yeah because yeah the spending always outpaces the growth that doesn't seem like that'll happen especially if we have breakthrough on an AGI it seems like the Curve will reverse don't think about it uh historically it's literally never happened it end in war and hyperinflation and uh non-compete agreements now I that's that's an interesting one I'm not sure where I'd stand on it because it is a contract that you sign but on the other hand it is a nasty nasty way to do business and if everybody does it is that you have to work like yeah us judge will not block Biden Administration ban on worker and non-compete agreements so this is the third round in the US court system but this is good news for workers there are some exceptions for managerial or people that have a lot of privileged information but mostly this is good for the the American worker since the worm has turned in the narrative about Biden they're choosing some terrible pictures of him have you noticed that none of them are flatter anymore I haven't noticed I feel like I've seen both flattering and unflattering of of both of them I've seen pictures of them all over the place and I don't want to see them I'm looking for cat pictures when I'm on the internet that would be true of all of us right we've all got F I don't know how many flat irings I'll pull off but uh anyway let's move on to the EU or Europe in general not just the EU and uh food delivery which I just cannot fathom how it's such a big business business when we're supposed to all be broke because it's such a terrible value people do it though people do I know people who do it multiple times a week which I'm like I don't understand that but prices just keep going up could there be more of an explanation there than just inflation EU to investigate delivery hero and gloo over food delivery cartel concerns yes food delivery cartel con I don't I don't understand any of these applications on a fundamental level the technology to connect someone who wants Taco Bell with someone who is willing to go and get that person Taco Bell is not a lot of Technology involved there it's pennies to execute on that transaction and so these platforms being worth 500 million or a billion dollars doesn't make any sense it's a race to the bottom some Rando 13-year-old that's precocious and knows how to use Amazon web services will build something that literally does that well I can to explain it to you where you described is very easy what's difficult is convincing someone to make that transaction for 40% over the value of that transaction which they seem to be really good at because people are doing it that's where the expense comes from it's all the yeah the marketing tricks and the oh order now yeah the dark patterns on the sites screwing the drivers with weird like shift changes and modifications they don't get enough money yeah in a utopian World sure we would have people willing to get the food and people willing to pay to get the food but instead you have to to scrape you you having no value have to scrape value that's why we get this and that's also why we get pay for Facebook because they have to scrape value out of that interaction and they usually do it from you directly RS technicus headline is meta risk sanctions over sneaky ad free plans confusing users the European union says basically if you want to use meta products without ads you can pay for them but it turns out that there's dark patterns and that meta doesn't really want you to bother with paying for it because they want to be able to sell your data it's kind of they're trying to just convince you to say yes to the ads basically is what that payment is this kind of thing also makes me want to rethink my mental model of how much money they can make from someone's data because I hadn't imagined that it was a lot in my mind meta directly collecting like $5 per year from a person would be worth way more than the advertising profile but but now they have to worry about stuff like Ai and it's like oo that's way more useful as training data yeah your posts are useful as training data I think it was still way more useful than five or valuable than $5 probably yeah as ad data oh it had to be they made a lot of money yeah they did quite well they're still are or the ad industry hasn't figured out that it's not worth that but I think some of them I think the Smart Ones have figured that out but what do you do do you announce that and be like oh hey I have no value please get rid of me I know we're doing layoffs I think when you when you have large Brands see that you have companies like unil buying media companies it's fizer but yes or fizer yeah they don't buy them they just buy all the ads it's a lot easier to manage that way and Switzerland let's all celebrate Switzerland unless there's some hidden Barb that I don't see here this sounds like a beautiful plan Switzerland now requires all the government software to be open source they've had it they've had it with broken incompatibility they've had it with the adversarial nature of Licensing software it's like nope we are just going to spend the money that it takes to make this thing work in an open source kind of a way I like to think that there was somebody in the Swiss government who's had this email for months maybe longer than that and then they woke up to the crowd strike headline and they were like send now is the time they dabbed like it was 2016 and again the Chinese trade War has uh driven major changes in the way that everybody does business and when it comes to China what they're willing to tell us about their business China is getting secretive about its supercomputers this is because according to the headline and the article it's getting good but I think it's much more pragmatic than that is like China can build their supercomputers out of rocks and sticks and they would like the us to not sanction their ability to buy rocks six was this a repeat story or did we have a a second story about this am I imagining that three days ago I might have cut a pay wall oh okay maybe this is a pay wall alternative more and more sites pick up pay walls ones that I think are safe oh yeah you'll go to read it and then it's not and China also celebrating this past week because guess what they didn't have China did not swerved uh China wereth the worst of the Global Tech meltdown as a result of crowd strike because they don't use crowd strike even even though they use Windows they just they don't really use crowd strike they don't use a lot of Western companies in order to do business in China you have to have a Chinese subsidiary that you do business through and that's true of even just Microsoft and that company didn't use any kind of crowd strike they have all the same Tech stack which is interesting worked for them this time and that is not true of all of the Asian countries some of the smaller ones did buy into the whole technology stack and they suffer just like the rest of the world but their economies Maybe Can't absorb quite as much as ours can Malaysia asks Microsoft and crowdstrike to consider covering losses from Global outrage the global outage well also outrage I both work yeah yeah this was again best we could do is a $10 gift card it's they didn't send that to customers they sent that to it people but that's still in poor taste it's really poor taste I bet nobody in Malaysia got one were you trapped in Malaysia for an extra week here's your $10 gift card oh thanks that didn't cover my lunch but and it's interesting how different countries are either embracing or shunning Ai and even in the case of the UK for example when one leader leaves and another one comes in it flip-flops Japan is very decidedly on one side of this court Japanese media say AI search infringes copyright and urge legal reform so basically somebody looked at this and said wait a minute this like this can't be real the AI search like we take the take your work and then summarize it and that no law has been violated technically no not yet not not currently now this one is a little older did we talk about this last week we talked a little bit about unrest but not this yeah I didn't see this until this week this is the Playbook when the people rise up what's the first thing that you do as a despotic leader Bangladesh is experiencing a near total internet shutdown amid student protests this is going to be interesting cont contrast to another story that Ryan added about um uh Russia when Russia first got set up on the Internet they have uh walked all of these back well no they didn't walk it all the way back it was supposed to be that if you companies had to hire 30% exmilitary no matter what now they've taken that down to 7% and online gambling it's not something that is allowed in a lot of Western countries but there's all these little loopholes where you can just go and establish yourself on one of these little Islands somewhere and they tolerate it but it seems like that might have been a little slippery slope it might have attracted some other rodents and they don't like that Philippines shutters its online gambling industry to amid tax evasion and human trafficking concerns so the Philippines looked at this and apparently they did not like what they found so they shut down the entire industry I don't understand quite how online gambling results in human trafficking why are we bringing humans do you gamble the humans away is it a way to launder money one thing I have seen before is that online gambling because like how do you trust it right sometimes they'll have cameras on human beings dealing the cards so maybe they're trafficking those people if you know anything about that let us know in the comments and this is what you were alluding to I've never heard of this guy before I didn't know him either uh it's interesting and I don't know enough about the politics of Russia but it just seems like he was maybe a little too outspoken is that what you got from this the headline is the criminal in jail is the father of Russia's internet it sounds like he wasn't really even involved yeah in this Andre solov and Arena borgan one of them is related yeah article is a little biased well they well they do point it out they're like one of the authors here is this person's uh child so they put the 72-year-old father in jail because of his son speaking out and they say that the he's in terrible health and and they they basically sent him to Siberia they are not in Russia the children so yeah it seems like the old if we can't get to you we'll punish your we'll get to those that you love maybe we could convince Biden or Harris that this would make an excellent movie like just you don't even have to spend any taxpayer dollars just go get Michael Bay or one of those guys and like let's make a Seal Team Six movie wouldn't we choose a politician that still has relevance oh yeah he would probably go for it immediately it's just like yes we're going to just go in and extract this person you think you'd go against Putin I don't know about that oh about that guy is the he created the first Russian ISP y they kind of were like oh he invented all this technology no yeah it's like oh it's not quite right but we invented that technology but he was the first to bring it to Russia uh they did have an interesting thing about how the KGB forgot about that connection and so people were getting their news from the internet because that was the only one they didn't control and he was so powerful his company was the only company in Russia at one point that had an international phone line oh yeah I saw that and they were like it was during like the height of the Cold War too so they said it was like unheard of and Nigeria it seems that the African countries are catching on that social media and big Tech has no defense against any of this they're guilty of everything you just have to give them a number Nigeria finds meta $220 million for violating consumer and data laws and if meta is making $220 million off of the data that they have from Nigerian users who mostly don't have computers mostly mobile phones then how much money that is that that is that's way more than $5 a year per person they also don't have the kind of like news infrastructure that we do and they don't have as many informational websites although those are gone for us now too right their whole world is on this Social Media stuff all their payments and everything so of course Facebook's going to make more from that's crazy my mental model is completely wrong and this one was a little bit of a popcorn fart and it's an older story but now we're just finding out the details hackers leak documents from the uh Pentagon IT services provider Lidos Bloomberg news reports say I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right we reported on this when it originally happened I guess they've sold as many copies of this data as they can on the black market and so now they're just you know leaking bits and pieces but the word pentagon's in there so it gets you a nice headline and dotop I'm not I don't visit any websites that end in the top level dotop but uh maybe that's a good thing and maybe you shouldn't either fish friendly domain registry. toop put on notice I can said they had until August 24th to get their stuff together and take down domains that are used for fishing of which there are a lot so it's like yeah dot has a lot more fishing domains but then you look at the totals and you're like oh that's quite a bit more of a percentage of the total isn't it China operates that not the government but probably the government I'm surprised there hasn't been a wealthy person to buy a top level domain cuz it's it's like $150,000 or something to buy your own top level domain and just for just for the luls just for trolling like dot dot do do that would be really hilarious somebody should do that or maybe somebody could finally register clown penis. fart which is from an old SNL skit tweet on he's yeah he's just throwing money around he loves stuff like that we can finally bring the Dylan Edwards and Associates website to life and another supply chain attack it's so depressing that our world is crumbling because we've made it too complicated a hacker quote unquote ghost network is spreading quietly is quietly spreading malware on GitHub so 3,000 accounts on GitHub or manipulating uh repositories and one of the wildest thing this is this is a sub thing that this group is doing is they'll clone an existing legitimate repository and serously insert Mal wire in it and that's just all they do but more importantly similar to how you can game the algorithms on social media and stuff like share and subscribe on GitHub it's like fork and what are the other two stars star like I like and so the network or this malware network is doing a lot of that to try to push those up above the original inp ity and apparently it's effective and this is a story that we saw a lot of when this war broke out God it's been a depressing amount of time since then hasn't it it has but we're still seeing it and it's still a really nasty thing to do this one's from a little while ago uh hackers shut down Heating in Ukrainian City with malware researchers say so this is the postmortem on the cleanup for a thing that happened in January it was 2 days without heating because the malware targeted industrial control system systems it wasn't like crowd strike where it was you know Windows connected machines or anything like that this was actually the Industrial Automation and safety systems that controlled the Citywide boiler Heating and uh January and was this Kiev Lviv is that how you pronounce that I don't know laiv it's a word I read but don't say out loud uh it's a little nippy yeah that time of year I imagine they still electric heers but still yeah not everybody did there is some connection to you know Russia and China in that they say but there was also like these same kinds of control systems they were like let's scan the internet and see if there are other control systems that have this and they found other control systems that are on the internet there should not be but they were in other Global regions and so they were unaffected which suggests that it was targeted and speaking of global companies like to use globalism to hire the cheapest possible workers that they can and then something like this happens and they're like who could have predicted this cyber firm firm no before hired a fake it work from North Korea oops amazingly the guy on the left who looks a little bit more Western don't you think is the real guy guy on the right is the fake AI version he aced his interview and it turns out this was one of those Arizona laptop Farms I remember we we covered the woman that was running one of those I wonder if this is part of that probably and uh he was working away he got all his tickets in record time but he is also installing malware he's such a good worker though I can't be upset but he turns all that money into the North Korean government so they win either way it's not fabulous and if you're a telegram user you got to be careful what attachments you click on telegram 2day or telegram 2day telegram zero day for Android allowed malicious files to masquerade his videos basically you get a video on telegram you open it and it can install a malware payload but also still function as a video which is the surprise surprising thing here is this a template that they just didn't change the green screen out on like a a stock image maybe and they were just like we don't have time just put it up with the green screen because this is how I'd like Photoshop something out Ron lock via pixels pixels it's a stock thing so I guess maybe they just grabbed a stock image yeah so you click on the video and be like oh you need some extra software to watch this video and of course people to watch a video they're like okay I'll click that that was my way I think it did play the video though and as the crowd strike issue was wiping out all of America one it team had the stomach drop but then it was like oh wait this was actually just our fault we'll be able to fix this quickly California officials say that the largest trial court in the US is a victim of a ransomware attack curiously it was timed very similar to the crowd strike problem but this one was actually ransomware they had to delay a bunch of Trials but they got it fixed oops sucks if you were waiting for a trial in California although they do say that I understand if you're sitting in jail might not feel like this but delaying a trial almost always benefits the defense really wonder why some kind of human nature with judges and juries maybe I don't know wait a minute if California has the largest trial court in the US and we get all those reports from California about people not Prosecuting thousands of dollars in sh shoplifting somebody you're right a lot of the cities have stopped reporting crimes to the FBI so those statistics are now skewed they seem a lot better but it's because the worst places aren't submitting statistics anymore I don't know if California is one of those places that's a great way to deal with problems just just ignore it just stick your head in the sand for a very short amount of time come here for more advice stick your head in the sand with us on the next episode of the L1 show bye\n"
