In a statement on Saturday, the Florida hospital system said that in addition to names, addresses and phone numbers, Social Security numbers, bank account information and medical history data was included in the breach. Insurance account information, driver’s license numbers, email addresses and treatments received were also included. The hospital system said it waited months to notify victims because the Department of Justice told them to hold off on sending out breach notification letters....

The Wall Street Journal has it on good authority that computer maker Dell will mount on Tuesday another challenge at the MacBook Air’s dominance with the XPS 15z announcement, their newest ultra-thin, stylish notebook teased with the “The game is about to change” tagline. The 15-inch machine probably sports the aluminum unibody construction Apple pioneered with the Air. It’ll start out at $999 and Dell says it’s the thinnest notebook “on the planet”....

Disney is buying Comcast’s stake in Hulu, giving it full control of the service with immediate effect, although the actual purchase doesn’t complete until 2024 … It follows Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox back in March. Disney started with a 30% stake in Hulu, with the Fox purchase giving another 30%. It later bought AT&T’s 10%, so Comcast’s 30% will give Disney full ownership. Axios reports on today’s development....

In the entire history of operating system bugs, I don’t think there have been many bigger than the one reported this week. Allowing anyone with physical access to a Mac to login to it without a password is inexcusable; letting them in as root, so they have complete control of the machine and all accounts on it, is simply mind-boggling in its incompetence. Especially when the bug turns out to have been known for at least a couple of weeks....

The bank said as part of its investment, the pair will enter into a partnership to create a “superior payments experience” for Australian businesses and help them transition to PayTo, a New Payments Platform-based product to allow businesses to make real-time direct debit payments to customers. “Our partnership will accelerate CBA’s delivery of PayTo for our business customers and over time, open up other new capabilities to revolutionise the payments experience for businesses and consumers,” CBA business banking group executive Mike Vacy-Lyle said....

The Arrowverse crossover event Crisis On Infinite Earths is honoring Superman’s legacy in a great way by bringing back past actors and merging their stories for a better future. With three different versions of Superman confirmed to appear and hints of more homages on the way, The CW is attempting their most ambitious feat yet. Crisis On Infinite Earths is turning out to be the Avengers: Endgame of television with multiple characters, shows, and guest stars appearing in the multi-episode event....

The final scene of the latest episode of Arrow, “Present Tense,” may have just introduced the Anti-Monitor ahead of Crisis on Infinite Earths. The plot of Arrow season 8 has centered upon Oliver Queen, as he travels across time and space to aid the cosmic being known as the Monitor in preparing for an approaching crisis that threatens the entire multiverse. Oliver agreed to do this as part of a bargain he struck with the Monitor during the Elseworlds crossover event, in order to save the lives of The Flash and Supergirl....

The below section will illustrate the strategy that organizations should adopt in order to minimize the cyber risks in Supply Chain Risk Management. Establish Supply Chain Context The first thing that all organizations should follow is to build up the context for the supply chain. This will help organizations to be clear about the environment in which their supply chain works, what are all the products in use, and what is the connectivity with the outside world, because a less secure path could lead to attacks....

Cybercriminals in fact offer everything necessary to arrange a cyber fraud or to conduct a cyber attack; the offer is very articulated and includes malicious code and also the infrastructure to control the spreading and operation of the malware (e.g., bullet-proof hosting or rental of compromised machines belonging to huge botnets). These models of sale defined as cybercrime-as-a-service represent the natural evolution of the offer in the underground, criminals can extend their activities to cyberspace easily and without great investment....

CD Projekt Red’s head of Cracow studio John Mamais revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 would no be ignoring open world quests, with around 75 “street stories” being designed for Night City’s gigantic map. Open world questing was one of the most consistently praised elements of the developer’s last major release in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a feature that many felt made the world feel more like it was alive since Geralt could simply stumble into minor narratives and solve less pressing problems as they sprang up in his travels....

When Hurricane Irma hit land in 2017 a meme made the rounds implying Roland Emmerich’s 2004 disaster flick The Day After Tomorrow had predicted the horrendous weather situation – it didn’t, and here’s why. Back in 2017, it was a pretty scary time to be living in the U.S., Central America and the Caribbean. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey in August there came not one, not two but three more hurricanes – Irma, Katia, and Jose – which were followed by earthquakes in Mexico and wildfires in California....

Tom King took to Twitter to hype up his upcoming Strange Adventures series, posting four pages from Heroes in Crisis to offer some hints as to who will co-star the book with Adam Strange. Unfortunately, the four pages are each nine-panel grids, with every panel displaying a different hero undergoing therapy in Sanctuary. As a result, there are thirty-five possibilities - not counting the previously revealed Adam Strange. So just who could be the star of the series?...

Four episodes into Titans season 2, it’s time to acknowledge the truth; the show has actually become a good one. Intended as DC Universe’s flagship TV series, the first season of Titans was a real success. Unfortunately, that was largely in spite of its quality, rather than because of it. The biggest problem was that Titans season 1 suffered extensive reshoots. These reshoots appear to have focused on the character of Dick Grayson, essentially turning Brenton Thwaites’ role into a starring one....

Everything in Death Stranding is an attempt on the player’s life - and so it’s best if players know a few tips and tricks before getting started. Whether its terrorists, porters who have gone mad, the supernatural entities known as BTs or just the brutal, unrepentant world that’s been set back into the dark ages, Sam Bridges must struggle through every mission just to survive. It certainly doesn’t help that Death Stranding is a new genre of game altogether, one that borrows from several others but doesn’t have the same sort of precedents that consumers can lean on for help....

My takeaway is that it’s very similar to RescueTime, but a bit more friendly. It’s sort of like if Mint.com were to get into the time management game. Chrometa automates everything that can possibly be automated while still allowing you the flexibility to sort, categorize and manually tweak entries. The big problem with most time management programs is that they end up being distractions in themselves—but once you get your rules, projects and clients set up in Chrometa, it won’t take any more than five or ten minutes out of your day....

Ming-Chi Kuo reported today that Apple plans to release an iPhone that is completely wireless in 2021. That is, an iPhone without Lightning or USB-C connectivity of any sort. I see several major hurdles with this strategy right now, but those could be solved by 2021. According to Kuo, Apple will release an iPhone in 2021 without Lightning connectivity. While many had assumed Apple would one day switch from Lightning to USB-C, Kuo seems to think that won’t be the case....

In the present time, everyone wants to live life without facing any problem. However, the same is not always possible and people often have to face issues that affect a number of things. It is very much true that many problems in life are serious and are necessary to be avoided. To keep up the pace against them, it is necessary to put the right efforts at the right time....
