LastPass: The cyber attack was more serious than previously thought

The latest cyberattack on the popular Internet password manager, LastPass, was even more serious than the company itself disclosed at the time. In their latest report they released new and potentially dangerous details for their user base.

Paddy Srinivasan, CEO of LastPass parent company GoTo, revealed in an official blog post that the attackers who targeted the cloud storage serviceshared by both companies, it was able to extract encrypted backups related to a number of products from Central, Pro, join.me, Hamachi and RemotelyAnywhere.

In addition to the encrypted backups, the attackers also extracted an encryption key for “a portion” of the encrypted backups, Srinivasan added.

The data now at risk includes account usernames, salted and hashed passwords – it consists of adding some random information before running the hashing algorithm – a part of the multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup and some configuration and information product licensing.

On the other hand, company representatives have assured that the credit cards or bank details they were not hit.

They also said that birthdates, home addresses, and Social Security numbers were protected, as GoTo doesn’t store any of these.

Additionally, the MFA settings of a “small subset” of Rescue and GoToMyPC users were affected. However, they claimed no encrypted database had been taken.

While all account passwords were bypassed and encrypted “in accordance with best practices,” GoTo still reset affected users’ passwords and asked them to re-authorize their MFA settings where possible.

Meanwhile, the CEO also said that heThe company is migrating the affected accounts to an advanced identity management platform to provide additional security and stronger authentication and login-based security options.

Users have also been contacted directly, Srinivasan confirmed.

The consequences of the cyber attack

The series of cyber attacks against the password manager was first revealed in November 2022.

An initial investigation determined that the hackers managed to break into a group of user archive vaults, essentially databases containing all of their passwords. Since this information is encrypted, it has not been easy for cybercriminals to gain access to its contents.

“These encrypted fields remain protected with 256-bit AES encryption and can only be decrypted with a unique encryption key derived from each user’s master password using our Zero Knowledge architecture,” said Karim Toubba, CEO of LastPass.

“As a reminder, LastPass never knows your master password, never stores or maintains it,” they admitted.

Due to unrelenting inflation, the Government proposes adjustments of 3% instead of 4% on a basket of 2,000 products

Due to unrelenting inflation, the Government proposes adjustments of 3% instead of 4% on a basket of 2,000 products

A few days after the end of January, the government already has indications that this January’s inflation is lucky to be higher than in December. The consultants are considering the possibility of registering an increase 5.5% or 6%, thus distorting the slowdown trend proposed by Sergio Massa’s management.

For this reason, before the end of the current Fair Prices program, which has frozen the prices of about 2,000 consumer products, the Secretary of Commerce try to prevent sharper rises in the rest of the products which have an upward path of around 4%.

puts to company that this adjustment is 3.2% instead of 4%. And also advance in the definition of the new basket of frozen prices that will replace the one expiring on February 28th. The meetings have just begun and promise to be tiring, according to the companies.

The official willingness to inflate corsets occurs, not only because of the context in which we are going through an election year, but also because of the need for unions to sign the annual parities within a margin of 60%, as required by the 2023 Budget on inflation.

The Secretary of Commerce pointed out that “there have already been meetings with companies and supermarkets. They are useful,” a source described. On the other hand, industry representatives attending face-to-face meetings with secretary Matias Tombolini admit that there is still a long way to go. the toughest battle: the recomposition of frozen food prices for four months.

“Since November we already have almost 11 points of inflation and we still don’t know how much it will be in January and February, at least half of what was in the quarter, they have to give us”. the director of a large food company.

From Commercio they point out that “what is being negotiated are the terms of the new agreement upon expiry of the current one, which is 120 days. Perhaps it will be brought forward by a couple of weeks and The idea is that this trail is 3.2% instead of 4% in the rest of the products that are not frozen.

As for the new Equo Prices basket, there will be another 2,000 products that will be frozen They can be the same or they can change. There will certainly be a rotation: frozen products will come out and go in the price path and some that are in the path will be in the frozen ones. What is not known is the percentage increase that those products that will join the new Pricing Right agreement will have,” the official sources highlighted.

In the same sense, a source from a supermarket pointed out: “companies are being given the opportunity to change the products within Fair Prices, without affecting the quality of the basket,” he said. And he also stated that the discussions that “normally they would be in March, they are moving to implement them as soon as possible”he opined.

In one of the industries with weight in mass consumer products which is in permanent dialogue with officials, they confirmed: “we had a first meeting and the 4X3 scheme was proposed to us”, explained the source, referring to the fact that the government said that planned increases outside the Equitable Prices, they will rise by a general 3.2% through May or June, instead of the 4% as expected now.

The current Fair Pricing program was launched in November and expires at the end of February. But the inflationary pressure used so far by the consultancies is motivating officials to “go ahead” in containing the increases so much so that the February inflation data again show a deceleration, as happened in December when the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 4.9%.

“It has been a very general meeting so far. Now you need to review in detail from when and which products. We await further definitions. For now, everything is very pending”, they relied on another of the main food companies.

On how they took the proposition, companies use the delays they have had due to rising costs. “We don’t have much headroom, with inflation above 4% a month, our production costs are putting a lot of pressure,” another entrepreneur explained. “We’ll see how the talks go, but it’s difficult,” he acknowledged.

Vladimir Putin believed that he would dominate Europe due to the energy crisis: the mistake could cost him dearly

Vladimir Putin believed that he would dominate Europe due to the energy crisis: the mistake could cost him dearly

Isolated in the Kremlin, ill-advised by those around him or in the throes of imperial delusions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to see the extent of the determination of the European Union, NATO and their member states not to allow Ukraine to be engulfed .

In light of all the evidence, the statements of the last few months and the Russian actions, Moscow expected that its great weapon, the energy supply, would be enough to divide and paralyze the Europeans. That inflation, the economic crisis and the cold that their populations would experience this winter would force them to leave the Ukraine.

Inflation is coming down, the economic crisis appears to have been averted and Europe’s gas reserves are at full capacity.

The mistake leaves Russia in its worst international position in decades. If he backs down now, Putin will have to bite the bullet. If he goes ahead, he will bleed his country economically and militarily.

If it finally decides to use nuclear weapons, as it has repeatedly threatened, it will make Russia an outcast on the planet for decades and in all likelihood it will lose what little support it has left from the great powers: China and India.

The position of the European and American governments, after 11 months of war, is even more firm and united than at the beginning of the military aggression. They started by sending only small arms and protective equipment. Grenade launchers were added, which were decisive in the first defense of Kiev and its suburbs.

Gradually anti-ship missiles, artillery, armored vehicles and now go to heavy tanks. The next steps, if the war continues and as Ukraine is already beginning to demand, will be attack helicopters, long-range missiles and fighter jets. Germany has gone from offering hulls to sending heavy tanks.

Common front despite differences

Hungary pulls its feet and sometimes allows the European sanctions to pass a few more weeks, but ends up giving in. France and Germany, despite their slight differences in approach for historical and economic reasons (Germany has lived on the supply of cheap Russian energy for decades and its diplomacy, since the 1960s, has been trying to keep Moscow in some European order ) go hand in hand. but no.

Italy has seen no change in its policy of support for Ukraine despite the change of government with the exit of Mario Draghi and the arrival of Giorgia Meloni. Spain, despite the divisions within the governing coalition tend to be more publicized than its decisions, remains steadfast in its support for European decisions and will also participate in sending Leopard 2 tanks.

If countries like Poland maintain a more proactive discourse in defense of Ukraine, in practice their position is equal to that of the others, as well as that of a Greece which traditionally, for cultural and religious reasons, maintained good relations with the Kremlin. Or from countries with such divergent foreign interests as Belgium or Slavic Bulgaria itself.

The position of Turkey

Turkey is the only NATO member state to officially stay out of arms shipments, although its Bayraktar attack drones, sold by a company run by President Erdogan’s son-in-law, were instrumental in the war’s early months. armored columns.

The war also made the United States and Europe shrink, with Canada following in the American footsteps. Washington and Brussels go hand in hand in military support and sanctions to the point that Germany ended up convincing US President Joe Biden, against the advice of the Pentagon, to send modern Abrams tanks to Ukraine in exchange for Germany sending its Leopard 2s.

Western supranational organizations follow the same rhythm and serve to maintain a permanent dialogue with the United States and to mend the bruises. NATO has recovered its essential role in European security and, hand in hand with a social democratic secretary general who has been able to maintain a discreet and very left-handed attitude in the negotiations, without putting pressure on any government but clarifying the positions of the Atlantic Alliance, regained the upper hand.

The European Commission led the passage of a dozen sanctions packages that hurt Russia’s economy by disrupting its exports and complicating its civilian and military industrial production. Its banks are virtually isolated from the rest of the world.

The High Representative, Josep Borrell, even took the opportunity to bring the United Kingdom back to the European decision-making table and in new projects.

Jair Bolsonaro’s son criticized Flavio Mendoza for a photo with his son: ‘The decline of the West’

Flavio Mendozza She got involved in a controversy, received strong criticism and even shut down her Instagram account due to an image that went viral on social media, in which he appears with his four-year-old son Dionisio on stage at one of his Stravaganza shows.

It all started when the conversational politician and American activist Charlie Kirk shared on his networks the capture of the video in which Flavio hands the microphone to his son to be able to say a few words at the end of the show.

“File this under things that make you support capital punishment”it was Kirk’s reprehensible message that he shared with the image, without any context.

However, he later clarified: “I’ve seen the full video. The photo is of an Argentine gay couple (artists) and their son, and it appears to be a bad angle. The boy was nervous speaking in front of a crowd and would not let go of the man’s leg, so the mic was brought down in the boy’s face.”

Despite the clarification, The photo went viral and Flavio continued to receive strong questions.

One of them was from Eduardo Bolsonaro himself, son of the former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro. “In one image, the summary of the decline of the West,” said the current federal deputy for the state of São Paulo on Twitter.

And then, totally confused as to the source of the image, he threw: “It’s increasingly common in the United States for kids to participate in a drag show like this.”

The unloading of Flavio Mendoza

For this Flavio had his Instagram account blocked. Then, he came out to clarify on Twitter about him. “Someone maliciously uploaded a photo of me and my son from a horrible angle and they blocked my Instagram. Please report any photos or people behind this, thank you,” he said, outraged at all that has transpired.

“Someone maliciously uploaded a picture of me and my son from a totally out of context angle and closed my Instagram, messing with a little boy and my picture. Does being happy bother you that much? Does it bother you that he’s a gay man who managed to become a father and have a successful career? It seems it is. Well, another fight they won’t win for me,” the Stravaganza creator added in his defense.

In the intruders (America, Monday to Friday at 13:30), Mendoza assured: “Everything that happened is crazy. It is a capture of the video where Dionisio goes up to the end and sings ‘Come on, come on Argentina’. You feel sorry for the quarrel we have We all had to be a father and have a career…”, said the choreographer, who has assured that he will initiate legal action and for this he has hired Fernando Burlando.

“Someone from the United States and Brazil criticized me… All very strange. He is a decadent. He must investigate, in what context is this photo”, added Flavio, against Bolsonaro. And he pointed out: “Here there is homophobia, discrimination, also violation of the rights of the child. This image is doing a lot of damage.”

And, on television, it was boring.

Because the two finalist couples (Alfa and Nacho on one side and Romina and Marcos on the other) had to hold each other with one hand. a row of rubber discs, pressed together so that the row of wheels does not come off. Minutes passed, and the broadcast was not surprising – no one dropped it. Y above Alpha has not stopped talking.

But that annoying vagueness, curiously, kept the minute-by-minute measurement above 20 points. Rarity that TV offers.

They figure out what to do to make babies weigh more at birth

Maternal exposure to residential green spaces is associated with higher birth weights and less likely to have a small-for-gestational-age baby, according to a study published in the journal Environment International.

Ensuring healthy fetal growth is essential to prevent many negative health consequences.both early in life and later in life,” said María Torres, first author of the study.

And added that “Babies with low birth weight, or small for gestational age, may be at increased risk of growth problems, low IQ and premature death in childhood, as well as obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes in adulthood.

Children grow more under certain conditions

The new study, in which a team from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) participated, evaluated the associations between maternal exposure to green and blue spaces during pregnancy and delivery outcomes in eleven groups of newborns in nine European countries, including Spain.

The study was based on a sample of 69,683 newborns, with an average birth weight of 3.42 kg and of which 6.6% were classified as SGA.as newborns whose weight is less than or equal to the 10th percentile are called.

For each participant, seven indicators of residential exposure to natural environments were calculated: green space 100, 300 and 500 meters from the house -calculated using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)-, distance to nearest green space, accessibility to green space, distance to nearest blue space, and accessibility to blue space.

The researchers assessed possible effect modification based on socioeconomic status (SES) and region of Europe, according to the Servicio de Información y Noticias Científicas (SINC) website.

The results indicate stronger associations between residential green space and higher birth weight for participants with lower educational levels, coming from more disadvantaged areas and living in Northern Europe.

The results of the study on the weight of newborns at birth

The findings of this study are in line with previous research from various regions of the world.

A growing number of studies have reported associations between maternal exposure to green spaces and increased birth weight.

However, most of these studies were conducted in a single country with a given climate and vegetation type, and effect estimates differed from region to region.

The research was attended by people from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Spain, Lithuania, Norway, Italy and Greece.

According to their authors, the results support the application of policies for the promotion of natural environments in our cities, starting from the most disadvantaged areas.

Payam Dadvand, ISGlobal researcher and senior author of the study, said: “Data from eleven representative birth groups from across Europe have allowed us to assess, for the first time, this association in different countries and shed light on the role of the region in this question”.
