The Executive Order makes it illegal import, transfer or install any bulk-power system to anyone or entity to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
...Edgard Capdevielle, CEO, Nozomi Networks, said the order is a step in the right direction but does not go far enough to actually protect the counry’s critical infrastructure.
“Firstly, it ignores the largest problems in the electric cyber environments: lack of visibility in the networks and any nationally enforceable standards. Secondly, it is not immediately actionable. The order does not name countries, or propose anything specific, it just enables a team to go look at this without clear advice if problems are found. And lastly, even if enforced and specifics were given, i.e. no new equipment from China or Russia in the grid, it does not address all the legacy infrastructure that has been and will be around for a very long time,” he said.
Aspiring data-science and machine-learning developers now have more Microsoft-made free video tutorials to learn how to build software in Python, one of today's most popular and versatile programming languages.
Microsoft has released two more Python series for beginners in the form of two three-hour courses on YouTube, which add to the 44-part Python for Beginners series it released last fall.
The Amazon vice president who quit the company and posted a searing attack on how it targeted whistleblowers says he has been approached by numerous other tech companies already.

"Recruiters so far: Google, Comcast, Huawei. And a bunch of startups," Bray tweeted later on Monday, adding that he's not currently looking for work.
Around 1,000, or 18%, of Wendy's 5,500 US restaurants are not serving any hamburgers or other meat-based items, according to an analysis of online menus at every location conducted by financial firm Stephens. Wendy's is "more exposed" to the shortage sparked by the coronavirus pandemic because of its reliance on fresh beef compared with its competitors, the note said.
“Batteries are highly flexible assets, but they require smart strategies and software to realize their full value,” Autobidder's website explains. “Autobidder allows owners to realize this value by handling the complex co-optimization required to successfully stack multiple value streams simultaneously.”
Basically, people who own battery farms and even homeowners with rooftop panels shouldn’t need to have business degrees in order to translate their investment into a reduced utility bill or even a passive income stream. Autobidder is using an adapted version of the software model for automated stock trading or any other machine learning algorithm that buys and sells goods. (Right now, that also includes the people who have trained software to automatically buy out masks, toilet paper, and other necessities.)
A Chinese intelligence report warned President Xi Jinping and other Communist Party leaders that Beijing is facing the highest level of hostility since the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest, sources with knowledge of the report told Reuters.
The report, composed by the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR), a state-backed think tank associated with China’s top intelligence body, reportedly warned Xi last month that the country needed to prepare for a “worst-case scenario” amid heightening tensions with the U.S. over the origins of coronavirus. Reuters did not view a copy of the report, but was briefed on its contents — which reportedly included calls for China to ramp up its military in case of conflict.
German newspaper the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, who broke the story today, says German authorities are looking for Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin, 29, from Kursk, Russia.
German authorities believe that Badin is a member of a Russian military Unit 26165, a unit part of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), the military intelligence agency of Russia's armed forces.
As part of this unit, German authorities believe that Badin was tasked with conducting cyber-espionage on behalf of the Russian state, being part of a hacking group identified by cyber-security firms as ATP28 (Fancy Bear, Sofacy, Strontium, Grizzly Steppe, and more).
The same principle applies to software, Peiter "Mudge" Zatko, the well-known l0pht hacker and software security expert who has worked across industry and government for the last twenty-odd years, tells CSO. Checking for basic security features before buying software can and should be part of the enterprise purchasing cycle.Doing so is not labor- or time-intensive, either. Evaluating software binaries for basic compile-time security flags is as simple as running existing open-source scripts against the binaries in question. While this won't offer a comprehensive analysis of the software, it will tell you whether the software maker has bothered to do the bare minimum. If they haven't bothered to do the bare minimum, that is a huge red flag, Mudge says.
