SN 1014: FREEDOM Administration Login - Apple's UK Privacy Showdown, $1.5 Billion Crypto Heist

• Apple disables Advanced Data Protection for new UK users. • Paying ransoms is not as cut and dried as we might imagine. • Elon Musk's "X" social media blocks "Signal.me" links. • Spain's soccer league blocks Cloudflare and causes a mess. • Two new (and rare) vulnerabilities discovered in OpenSSH. • The U.S. seems unable to evict Chinese attackers from its Telecom systems. • What are those Chinese "Salt Typhoon" hackers doing to get in? • The largest (by far) cryptocurrency heist in history occurred Friday. • Ex-NSA head says the U.S. is falling behind on the cyber front lines. • We have the winner (and a good one) replacement term for "backdoor". • A look at a pathetic access control system that begs to be hacked (and will be).
