For #Severance fans out there that may not have heard, there is a new “official” Severance podcast that just came out last week, hosted by Ben Stiller and Adam Scott. They are doing an episode-by-episode recap of Season 1, including cast interviews and behind-the-scenes tidbits. I think they’re hoping to keep it up through Season 2 as well. Really interesting and worth a listen as we prepare for S2!

On Mon, the Santa Clara, CA-based company published a blog post about the problem, saying that it had issued a patch & that “impacted customers failed to implement system hardening & #firewall guidelines.”

#Lumen wrote that it located #malware inside #ISP routers serving certain groups or individual customers that could intercept passwords from those customers. Lumen said it believed the malicious #software was being used by #VoltTyphoon.

#Lumen researchers said they had identified 3 US ISPs that had been hacked this summer, one of them large, along w/another #US company & 1 in #India.

In a blog made public Tues, Lumen said the #hackers used a previously unknown vulnerability, known as a #ZeroDay flaw, in a program made by #VersaNetworks for managing wide-area networks. #Versa acknowledged the critical vulnerability late last week, warning only its direct customers.

911 service provider #Lumen blames 911 outage on installation of light pole

By Andy Rose, Melissa Alonso, Dalia Faheid, Dakin Andone and Sean Lyngaas, CNN
April 18, 2024

"The outage of #911Systems in several states Wednesday evening was caused by the installation of a light pole, according to Lumen, a company that supports some of those systems.

"'On April 17, some customers in Nevada, South Dakota and Nebraska experienced an outage due to a third-party company installing a light pole – unrelated to our services,' Lumen Global Issues Director Mark Molzen told CNN on Thursday morning.

"The outage lasted less than three hours, according to Molzen, who said Lumen – a networking company that provides enhanced 911 services to local communities in multiple states – 'worked hard to fix it as quickly as possible.'

"Molzen declined to elaborate on exactly how the light pole installation resulted in the 911 outage, or where the pole was located. The 911 director in Douglas County, Nebraska, which encompasses Omaha, said in a statement Lumen informed the county the outage was related to a 'fiber cut.'"

Exposition : « À la limite - Innover dans les mesures du monde - 2055 » au #Lumen à l'Université #ParisSaclay

#utopie #SF #décroissance #LimitesPlanétaires

Du 3 juin au 18 septembre

lumen.universite-paris-saclay.

Lumen · À la limite – Innover à la mesure du monde – 2055L’exposition nous projette en 2055, sur une planète Terre où les environnements et les populations se portent bien. Cet avenir, fictif, se veut « désirable » selon les critères d’équité, de justice sociale, de respect et de bien-être de toutes les populations humaines et non-humaines. Et, au-delà du réchauffement climatique, ce futur s'inscrit à l’intérieur des limites du système Terre. Dans cet avenir encore possible, mais de moins en moins probable, que veut dire innover ? Quelles innovations, sociales et technologiques, y auraient leur place ? En particulier, quelles questions se posent aujourd’hui pour les métiers de la recherche, des techniques et de l'ingénierie ? Prenant appui sur des œuvres de science-fiction, l'exposition propose un espace de débat pour tenter de construire collectivement un avenir qui donne envie, avec l’ambition d’être source d’optimisme. Le parcours commence par dresser un portrait actuel de l’innovation, en montre les coûts et conséquences, et présente le modèle des limites planétaires. Puis, une rupture temporelle permet d’interroger des exemples vertueux pour et dans le futur esquissé, tout en nous confrontant à nos choix.Des dispositifs interactifs et ludiques jalonnent le voyage, mis en valeur par deux partenariats avecl’École Estienne pour la production d’illustrations scientifiques et d’un dispositif numérique immersif. Informations pratiquesExposition du 3 juin au 18 septembre 2024 Lumen - Université Paris-Saclay 8 avenue des sciences - 91190 Gif-sur-YvetteEntrée libre et gratuite, du lundi au vendredi de 8h30 à 22h30 et le week-end de 10h à 19h. Fermeture du 20 juillet au 19 août inclus. Une exposition produite par la Direction des Bibliothèques, de l’Information et de la Science Ouverte (DiBISO) en partenariat avec la Diagonale · Université Paris-Saclay et le Design Spot. Avec le soutien de CentraleSupélec, de l’ENS Paris-Saclay et de l’Université Paris-Saclay.
