No Comments on Anti-Apex Legends #NoApexAugust Campaign Fails Spectacularly

It’s not a universal maxim, but in many cases, there’s no surer sign a game is alive and well than when waves of players start calling it a “dead game.” The most recent example is apex legendswhich just set an all-time player count record amid a coordinated—I use that word generously—social media campaign urging players to fall off the game for a month.

apex legendsa free-to-play first-person shooter some people still call Why Aren’t You Titanfall 3?, launched three years ago amid the industry’s battle royale boom. Though it initially seemed experimental, a fun if ephemeral multiplayer pitstop between developer Respawn’s blockbusters (like titan fall and Jedi: Fallen Order), Apex quickly adopted a seasonal model. It’s been riding the live service train ever since and is now on its 14th season. This brings us to #NoApexAugust, a community effort to highlight various issues fans have with the game.

#NoApexAugust has mostly organized around a hashtag on Twitter, though the genesis can be traced back to to Reddit post from last month. Initially, one player suggested a single-day strike against apex legends. The post blew up. Complaints about apex legends poured in (the initial post has more than 1,000 responses), and it eventually morphed into the idea that the community would take a whole month off from the game.

The idea of #NoApexAugust was to spur Respawn and publisher EA into action, addressing what players see as issues with the game: the high-ping servers…or the lack of cross-progression…or the overpriced cosmetics…or the lack or interesting cosmetics …or the slew of specific items some say are too powerful…or, look, players have a bunch of nonsense issues, many of which seem minor in isolation but coalesce into a larger “please fix game” rallying cry.

Right out of the gate, #NoApexAugust sputtered. Some people pointed out that the player base actually increased (if only marginally) over the first two days of the month, immediately after the campaign kicked off. And just yesterday—again, while #NoApexAugust was supposedly in full swing—apex legends set its all-time record number of players on Steam: 510,286 players, according to stat-tracking database steamcharts. (The previous record of 411,183 was set in May. These figures don’t account for players on consoles, however.)

Some dead game.

Clearly, #NoApexAugust has failed spectacularly at its intended goal of getting players to abstain from playing apex legends. Due to the obvious irony, you are allowed at least one (1) chuckle. Still, that a social campaign—messy execution aside—was merited here in the first place calls attention to very real issues players have with the game. Those shouldn’t be ignored, even if players are coming out in record numbers.

Representatives for EA, which publishes apex legendsdid not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.

Feds seized documents from Mar-a-Lago in June with grand jury subpoena

No Comments on Feds seized documents from Mar-a-Lago in June with grand jury subpoena

Investigators executed Monday’s search in part because they had developed evidence, including from at least one witness, that there were potentially classified documents still remaining at the Palm Beach, Florida, property months after the National Archives arranged for the retrieval of 15 boxes of documents that included classified information in January of this year, a person briefed on the matter said.

Authorities also believed the documents remaining at Mar-a-Lago had national security implications, CNN reported earlier this week.

The subpoena issued before the June meeting, during which investigators were shown where documents were held in a basement room at the Trump residence and private club, shows how the investigation has escalated and suggests the discussions had become confrontational long before Monday’s search.

The criminal investigation started with concerns about missing documents raised by the National Archives, which made a criminal referral to the Justice Department. That led to FBI interviews with aides to grand jury subpoenas to this week’s court-authorized search and seizure of documents.

The Justice Department is in a no-win situation as Trump's fury rages

Trump and his lawyers have sought to present their interactions with Justice Department prosecutors as cooperative, and that the search came as a shock. The subpoena was first reported by Just the News.

Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal reported earlier that the search for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence was prompted by a tip to investigators about the possibility of additional classified documents.

In response to questions about the grand jury subpoena, Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich said in a statement to CNN: “Monday’s unprecedented and absolutely unnecessary raid of President Trump’s home was only the latest and most egregious action of hostility by the Biden Administration, whose Justice Department has been weaponized to harass President Trump, his supporters and his staff.”

Earlier this spring, federal investigators began interviewing members of Trump’s staff at Mar-a-Lago and former White House officials who were involved in moving documents from the West Wing to his Palm Beach residence at the end of his presidency, according to three people familiar with those interviews.

In addition to the grand jury subpoena for documents, CNN previously reported that federal investigators separately served a subpoena for surveillance video at Mar-a-Lago, seeking to gather information about who had access to areas where documents were stored, according to people briefed on the matter. The subpoena served to the Trump Organization, the former President’s company that operates the Palm Beach property, came after the June meeting.

CNN previously reported that federal investigators visited Mar-a-Lago in June to discuss White House records they believed were still being held at the Palm Beach property with the former President and his attorneys.

Trump was present at the beginning of the meeting to greet investigators but did not stay to answer questions. During the meeting, Trump’s attorneys showed the investigators documents — some of them had markings indicating they were classified. The agents were given custody of the documents that were marked top secret or higher, according to a person familiar with the matter.

A Long-Known Linux Zero-Day Was Just Patched With Google’s Help

No Comments on A Long-Known Linux Zero-Day Was Just Patched With Google’s Help

Google’s Threat Analysis Group revealed new details today about its efforts to identify and help patch a zero-day exploit impacting Android devices built by a commercial surveillance vendor and dating back to at least 2016. The research, presented at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, represents the latest attempt by Google to step up its efforts against a growing private surveillance industry that’s thriving, according to the researchers.

The vulnerability in question, referred to as CVE-2021-0920, was a zero day “in the wild” exploit in a garbage collection mechanism within the Linux kernel, the core piece of software that governs the entire Linux operating system. Google says the attackers, using an exploit chain that included the vulnerability, were able to remotely gain controls of users’ devices.

Google says it has previously attributed a number of Android zero-day exploits to the developer behind CVE-2021-0920. In this case, a Google spokesperson told Gizmodo the surveillance vendor used “several novel and unseen exploitation techniques to bypass existing defensive mitigations.” That, the spokesperson said, suggests the vendor is well funded.

Though the CVE-2021-0920 vulnerability was patched last September in response to Google’s research, they say the exploit was identified before 2016 and reported on the Linux Kernel Mailing List. A proper patch was offered up at the time, but Linux Foundation developers ultimately rejected it. Google shared the public Linux kernel email thread from the time which shows disagreement on whether or not to implement the patch.

“Why would I apply a patch that’s an RFC, doesn’t have a proper commit message, lacks a proper signoff, and also lacks ACK’s and feedback from other knowledgable developers,” one developer wrote.

Responding to the Surveillance-for-Hire Era

Google has ramped up its efforts to spot and publicly identify spyware groups in recent years, partly in response to the sheer increase in the number of attacks. In testimonial delivered to the House Intelligence Committee earlier this year, Google Threat Analysis Group Director Shane Huntley said, “the growth of commercial spyware vendors and hack-for-hire groups has necessitated growth in TAG [threat analyses groups] to counter these threats.”

Huntley said his team’s recent findings suggest advanced commercial spyware firms, like Israel-based NSO Group, have managed to acquire hacking capabilities once reserved to the world’s most advanced state-sponsored intelligence agencies. The use of those techniques, which can include zero click exploits that take over a device potentially without a user ever engaging with malicious content, appear to be increasing and are being carried out at the behest of governments, Huntley suggested. Seven of the nine zero-day exploits discovered by Huntley’s team last year were reportedly developed by commercial providers and sold to state-sponsored actors. Highly technical surveillance techniques, once available to only a select group of countries, can now simply be purchased by the highest bidder.

“These vendors are enabling the proliferation of dangerous hacking tools, arming nation state actors that would not otherwise be able to develop these capabilities in-house,” Huntley said. “While use of surveillance technologies may be legal under national or international laws, they are found to be used by some state actors for antithetical purposes to democratic values: targeting dissidents, journalists, human rights workers, and opposition party politicians.”

“This industry appears to be thriving.” Huntley said.

Why Some Don’t Want Brittney Griner Free From Russian Prison: Expert

No Comments on Why Some Don’t Want Brittney Griner Free From Russian Prison: Expert

WNBA superstar Brittney Griner has been sentenced to nine years in Russian prison.
The US government has classified her as wrongfully detained and is working to negotiate her freedom.
Some Americans don’t want Griner to return, and a political scientist said two theories could explain why.

Some Americans are actively rooting against Brittney Griner’s return home to the United States.

The WNBA superstar was arrested in February after customs agents at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport claimed they found vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage. She was found guilty of drug smuggling in early August and sentenced to nine years in Russian prison.

Given the timing of her detention, the nature of her alleged offense, and the unjust reputation of the Russian courts, Griner is widely considered to be a political pawn Moscow is using as leverage against the United States. As such, the State Department classified Griner as wrongfully detained in May.

Even despite the “strong signal that the US government does not believe that there is a legitimate case against her,” as an expert previously told Insider, many of the two-time Olympic gold medalist’s compatriots are opposed to the Biden administration’s efforts to secure her freedom through negotiating a prisoner exchange with the Kremlin.

And there could be a scientific explanation why they’ve sided with a foreign adversary instead of supporting their fellow American.

Dani Gilbert, an expert on hostage taking and recovery who is currently a Rosenwald Fellow in US Foreign Policy and International Security at Dartmouth College’s John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, told Insider her research suggests that “how someone came to be in need of assistance affects whether or not the public thinks that person should receive it.”

This phenomenon, she said, is called the “deservingness heuristic.”

Gilbert used poverty as an example for her explanation. Individuals who believe that poor people are simply “unlucky” are the ones who are willing to support programs that provide assistance. But those who deem poor people lazy are less likely to support those same programs.

Her research, which she conducted along with a colleague at the University of California San Diego, suggests that that same theory applies to the public perception of hostages and wrongfully detained individuals. Griner is no exception.

“The fact that the American public might be really focused on the alleged drug possession and the outlandish accusation of drug smuggling might make the American public less willing to pay attention to this case.” [and] less supportive of government efforts to bring her home,” Gilbert said. “That’s the kind of dynamic that might really be in play.”

“It’s unfortunately quite predictable that Americans respond this way,” she added.

Gilbert further explained that personal characteristics could have an impact on the way the public regards Griner’s situation. Though “gender tends to be less influential in how the American public and how the media care about sympathizing with pay attention to Americans who are held hostage abroad,” than some other factors, “race is a huge deal here.”

This concept is aptly called “the missing white woman syndrome,” Gilbert told Insider.

“A white girl or a white woman who is taken captive or arrested or something like that elicits tons of sympathy from the American public in a way that women and girls of color do not,” she explained. “And so I think the fact that [Griner is] Black could be a huge part of the lack of attention to her case.”

“And then there are other demographic characteristics, including the fact that she is openly gay, that she is gender nonconforming, not traditionally feminine — all of these work against public sympathy for someone in her position,” Gilbert added.

Griner’s beliefs may also play a role in her perceived deservingness of spending nine years at a Russian penal colony. Though she’s not particularly political — having only cast her first vote during the 2020 presidential election — she’s received serious criticism for her views of her on the national anthem.

“I honestly feel we should not play the National Anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand,” Griner told the Arizona Republic in July 2020, when many athletes knelt or stayed off the court when the anthem played in order to protest police brutality and honor Black Americans who were killed by police, including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

“I don’t mean that in any disrespect to our country,” she added. “My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years. I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country.”

Still, some see Griner as unpatriotic. Gilbert mentioned Facebook comments she saw that she basically said, “If you hate the United States so much, how does it feel now?”

“I think that feeds in, in a way, to the whole deservingness thing,” Gilbert said. “People decide in their minds, if someone protests or has a particular political persuasion, that suddenly means that they’re not worthy of government assistance.”

“What we should really be focused on is the fact that she was wrongfully detained and is sitting in Russian prison in illegitimate arrest,” she added. “And that any American in that situation deserves help to come home.”

Researchers Stalk and Impersonate Tracking Devices (for Safety)

No Comments on Researchers Stalk and Impersonate Tracking Devices (for Safety)

At Black Hat 2022, security researchers showed off a new attack that goes after tracking systems built on ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology. They were able to stalk these tracking devices without their target’s knowledge, and even make targets appear to move at their attackers’ will.

A key use of UWB is real-time locating systems (RTLS), where a series of transceiver stations called anchors track the location of small, wearable devices called tags in a specific area, in real-time. This has a number of applications, from simple tasks like tracking personal items to high-stakes scenarios like infectious disease contact-tracing and factory safety mechanisms.

“Security flaws in this technology, especially in industrial environments, can be deadly,” says Nozomi Networks Security Research Evangelist Roya Gordon.

You may not be familiar with UWB, but it’s familiar with you. Apple has integrated it into mobile devices starting with the iPhone 11, as well as modern Apple Watches, HomePods, and AirTags. It’s also being used in large-scale infrastructure projects, like the effort to drag the New York City Subway signaling system into the 21st century.

Although Apple AirTags use UWB, the systems the team looked at were markedly different.

Standard Loopholes

What’s the problem with UWB RTLS? Although there is an IEEE standard for RTLS, it doesn’t cover the synchronization or exchange of data, the research team explains. Lacking a required standard, it’s up to individual vendors to figure out those issues, which creates opportunities for exploitation.

In its work, the team procured two off-the-shelf UWB RTLS systems: the Sewio Indoor Tracking RTLS UWB Wi-Fi Kit, and the Avalue Renity Artemis Enterprise Kit. Instead of focusing on tag-to-anchor communication, the Nozomi Networks team looked at communications between the anchors and the server where all the computation happens.

The team’s goal was to intercept and manipulate the location data, but to do that, they first needed to know the precise location of each anchor. That’s easy if you can see the anchors, but much harder if they’re hidden or you don’t have physical access to the space. But Andrea Palanca, Security Researcher at Nozomi Networks, found a way.

The anchors could be detected by measuring the power output of their signals, and the precise center of the space found by watching for when all the anchors detect identical signal data for a single tag. Since RTLS systems require the anchors to be arranged to form a square or rectangle, some simple geometry can pinpoint the anchors.

But an attacker wouldn’t even need pinpoint precision; anchor positions can be off by 10% and still function, Lever says.

Attacking RTLS

With all the pieces in place, the team showed off their location-spoofing attacks in a series of demos. First, they showed how to track targets using existing RTLS systems. We’ve already seen mounting concern over malicious uses of AirTags, where a bad guy tracks a person by hiding an AirTag on them. In this attack, the team didn’t need to hide a device, they simply tracked the tag that their target already used.

They also demonstrated how spoofing a tag’s movements in a COVID-19 contact-tracing scenario could create a false exposure alert, or prevent the system from detecting an exposure.

Another demo used a manufacturing facility mockup, where RTLS data was used to shut down machines so a worker could enter safely. By messing with the data, the team was able to stop production at the faux factory by tricking the system into thinking a worker was nearby. The opposite could be more dire. By making it seem as if the worker had left the area when they were actually still there, the machine could be reactivated and potentially injure the worker.

Practical Complications

The good news for owners of these systems is that these attacks aren’t easy. To pull it off, Luca Cremona, a Security Researcher at Nozomi Networks, first had to compromise a computer inside the target network, or add a rogue device to the network by hacking the Wi-Fi. If a bad guy can get that kind of access, you’ve got a lot of problems already.

Unfortunately, the team didn’t have any easy answers for securing RTLS in general. They kludged data encryption onto an RTLS system, but found that it created so much latency as to make the system unusable for real-time tracking.

The best solution the team presented was for the IEEE standard to be revised to cover the synchronization and exchange of data, requiring manufacturers to meet standards that could prevent RTLS attacks like this.

“We can’t afford to have those loopholes in standards,” Gordon says.

Beto O’Rourke drops f-bomb on heckler during Texas campaign stop

No Comments on Beto O’Rourke drops f-bomb on heckler during Texas campaign stop

Texas gubernatorial hopeful Beto O’Rourke dropped an f-bomb Wednesday while confronting a heckler who apparently laughed at the Democrat’s plea to control gun violence.

The emotional moment unfolded at the Crazy Water Hotel in Mineral Wells, about 85 miles west of downtown Dallas, as O’Rourke was discussing his hopes to curb mass shootings.

O’Rourke was referring to the May 24 shooting in Uvalde when 19 children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School by the gunman who purchased weapons just after turning 18.

“You could (legally) buy two, or more if you want to, AR-15s, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and take that weapon, that was originally designed for use on the battlefields in Vietnam to penetrate an enemy soldier’s helmet at 500 feet and knock him down dead, up against kids at 5 feet,” O’Rourke said.

A snicker could be heard coming from behind O’Rourke and the candidate turned toward a corner of the room where supporters of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott had gathered.

O’Rourke angrily gestured in that direction.

“It may be funny to you, motherf—–, but it’s not funny to me,” O’Rourke said to wild cheers from his supporters.

“We’re going to make sure that our kids who are starting their school year right now, that they don’t have to worry about someone walking in to their school with a weapon like this.”

Just two minutes earlier, O’Rourke had thanked Abbott’s supporters for attending his event.

“I want to hear a round of applause for these Abbott supporters who are here I’m glad that you all came,” said O’Rourke as his backers politely cheered. “Thank you for coming out. That’s not easy to do. But you’re welcome to join us and we’re glad that you’re here.”

An Abbott spokesman said the laughing person has no connection to the governor.

“This individual is not in any way affiliated with the campaign,” according to a statement by Mark Miner, Abbott’s campaign communication director.

A Republican has occupied the governor’s chair in Austin for more than a generation, as O’Rourke seeks to be the first Democrat to win Texas’ top race since Ann Richards in 1990.

League of Legends patch 12.15 is combating smurfs with the new ranked Duo queue changes

League of Legends patch 12.15 dropped yesterday, and a new set of changes have implemented a system that will work towards significantly reducing the number of smurfs in the game.

Like most competitive multiplayer games, the MOBA also sees its fair share of smurfs in ranked matchmaking, which ultimately hampers the game’s competitive integrity.

🛠 Patch 12.15 Notes 🛠⚡️ Energy based champions get a boost 🔧 Fine tuning Mastery Yi and Sivir 💪 Buffing up some engage supports⬇️ Nerfing Divine Sunderer and First Strike

High-rank players often do not shy away from making a smurf account to either help out a friend or just ruin the fun for another who has taken their ranked climb seriously.

This issue has been plaguing League of Legends for many seasons now, and with patch 12.15, Riot has implemented a solution that will look to combat a fair bit of the issue.

The developers have addressed the growing concerns with smurfs earlier on in Season 12, and with the new update, they will eliminate the ranked Duo queue for high-level players and primarily make it a Solo-queue only option.

League of Legends patch 12.15 will reduce the number of smurfs in the game

League of Legends patch 12.15 wasn’t exactly a big one when it came to introduce champion balance updates. While one of the more significant changes was buffs to the energy champions, the patch, to an extent, dealt with fixing some of the issues with the title.

Riot introduced changes to the Duo queue system, which will now not let high-ranked players employ the system.

In the patch notes, the developers stated:

“Having a premade duo is a slight advantage, and while current Apex Tier (Masters, Grandmaster, and Challenger) players aren’t able to duo with anyone, the system only works off current rank. With this change, we’re tightening up the Apex Tier restriction to apply to MMR as well.”

“The goal of this is to prevent climbing smurfs from being able to duo queue into Apex Tier. That said, decayed Apex Tier players and the highest skilled Diamond I players may also be impacted by this change. Up until now these players could duo and reliably get into Apex Tier games, which isn’t fair when the people they’re playing against can’t duo. If this change works as expected, we’ll evaluate shipping it to the rest of the world with plans to re-evaluate before Season Start.”

From now on, League of Legends players will no longer be able to queue up for a ranked game with a friend if they are both of the Master rank or higher. The system will not take MMR into consideration and will ultimately look to reduce the number of smurfs that one gets to experience in ranked matchmaking today.

Riot Games have also mentioned that they have successfully tested this method back in patch 12.10 for both the Korea and NA servers, hence, with 12.15, they have officially made it live for all regions.

No Comments on NRLnews | Paul Green death, last ever interview at Cronulla Sharks v Dragons Old Boys day

Days before his shock death, rugby league great and premiership-winning coach Paul Green walked a lap of the field with old teammates in a moment of reflection.

It was the Cronulla Sharks’ Old Boys day and, in what would be the last interview he would give before his passing, a smiling Green expressed gratitude for what the club had done.

“It’s great to be back, terrific night, a great crowd and good for Shark Park, so let’s hope the footy’s great,” Green said in an on-camera interview that was published on Cronulla’s website (watch it in the player above).

“Plenty of good memories and great to catch up with all the Old Boys today. It’s been a tonne of laughs and really well done by the club.”

With that Green was left to enjoy the rest of the night with other greats of the club he left an indelible mark on, winning the Rothmans Medal (what is now the Dally M Medal) in just his second season of first grade in 1995.

The Sharks capped it off, beating fierce local rivals the Dragons 24-18 to cement their place in the top four and keep their top-two ambitions burning.

It was a fitting way for Green to make his final public appearance: a lap of honor to thank him for what he’s done for the game. Yet he certainly wasn’t the type to seek the limelight.

Green was a quiet family man with a deep love of the game and the gift of a large, analytical brain.

As a player he was quick for a little man, standing at just 167cm, but it was his speed between the ears that made him a formidable halfback and then a champion coach.

On Thursday, as news of his death spread, the depth of emotion in the tributes told his story best.

His shattered family released a beautiful statement. And one by one the players he mixed with as a star halfback and then as a coach who reached the top said their piece.

“This is so sad,” Green’s former Sharks teammate Martin Lang wrote in a Twitter post.

“Paul was a close mate, we moved to Sydney together in 1993….the beginning of an outstanding NRL playing/coaching career. My sincere condolences to Paul’s wife, children and his dear mum and dad. Rest In Peace mate.”

NRL rocked by sudden death of Paul Green

Michael Morgan, the man who threw that flick pass to set up the last-minute try that leveled the 2015 grand final, before the Cowboys won it in golden point, added that he had “never been able to thank him enough.”

“He was more than influential, he helped me carve out the career that I did have,” Morgan said on Triple M’s The Rush Hour with Leisel, Liam and Dobbo.

“It’s no coincidence once he took over that he gave me an opportunity at fullback, it’s a position I’d never played in before and taught me, and I said it throughout my career when he unfortunately moved on from the Cowboys, how much he taught me about the game.

“You grow up playing it, you think you know everything but he just opened up a whole new world to the actual knowledge of the game for me.”

The world, and particularly the rugby league community, is a little emptier now as a result of the 49-year-old’s passing.

No Comments on Armed attempting to breach FBI office leads to pursuit

A pursuit and ongoing police situation in Clinton County has shut down two highways and prompted an area lockdown Thursday. It all started after an armed suspect attempted to breach an FBI building in Cincinnati. According to FBI Cincinnati, it started around 9 am when a person showed up to the office in Kenwood and attempted to breach the visitor screening facility. An alarm went off and FBI special agents responded when the man fired a nail gun at law enforcement personnel. The man then held up an AR-15 style rifle before fleeing in a vehicle north onto I-71 leading Ohio State Highway Patrol on a pursuit into Clinton County. The FBI, Ohio State Highway Patrol and local law enforcement are now on scene near Wilmington where they say they are trying to resolve the critical incident. Clinton County Emergency Management Agency officials said law enforcement has exchanged shots with the male suspect who is described as wearing a gray shirt and body armor. EMA officials say the suspect “has not yet been taking into custody, but is contained.”I-71 is closed between State Routes 73 and 68 in both directions until further notice. State Route 73 is also shut down in both directions between Mitchell Road and State Route 380. State Route 380 is also closed between State Route 73 and Brimstone Road. A lockdown is in effect for all buildings within a one mile radius of Smith Road and Center Road, according to Clinton County EMA. Residents and businesses are asked to lock their doors. This is a breaking news story, WLWT is working to learn more and will continue to update with the latest information as it comes in.
