Musk has once again cheated and may pay for it. US regulators investigate Twitter release delay

Published

Elon Musk has again come under the radar of regulators due to the acquisition of Twitter.

Musk has once again cheated and may pay for it.  US regulators investigate Twitter release delay

Reportedly, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are currently investigating Musk’s delay in filing the necessary documents regarding Twitter. It is likely that this very delay saved him millions of dollars.

What is the point? The bottom line is that Musk disclosed that he already owns a 9.2% stake in Twitter on April 4, and this is 10 days after Musk’s share exceeded the 5% threshold. The United States has the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. According to it, if any natural or legal person acquires a share of 5% in a public company, he must immediately disclose the relevant information. Twitter shareholders have already filed a lawsuit accusing Musk of delaying the release of the data. Now the regulators have taken over.

What threatens the billionaire, the sources have not yet reported, but it seems that this will not affect the deal itself.

Employees of Apple and Twitter are driven to the offices

Zoe Schiffer, who was recently managing editor of Twitter and now holds the same position at Platformer, said that Apple strictly monitors how employees visit offices.

Apple tracks employee attendance (using electronic badge records) and alerts employees if they don’t show up to the office at least 3 times a week.

Some at Apple, according to Schiffer, say that non-compliance could lead to dismissal, but she added that this does not seem like company policy.

In addition, she revealed that her former boss, Elon Musk, sent an email to Twitter employees at 2:30 a.m. stating that “office visits are no longer optional.” The billionaire noticed that the San Francisco office was half empty when he last visited.

Scissors undercut Windows 11 vulnerability reveals sensitive information from screenshots

A dangerous vulnerability has been discovered in one of the standard Windows 11 applications that could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information to the user. Moreover, at the moment the vulnerability is not closed and attackers can use it.

We are talking about the application Snipping Tool (Scissors). The vulnerability, called aCropalypse, allows you to undo changes made by a user when editing a screenshot, including cropped or blurred parts that hide sensitive data.

When you edit a screenshot, you can save it with the same name as the original file by overwriting it. However, as it turns out, the Windows 11 Snipping Tool does not remove the original information from the file, but simply leaves it added at the end, which is usually invisible to users. With some trickery, a potential attacker can extract hidden information from a file and see what information has been edited.

As you can see, edited screenshots are usually much larger due to the inclusion of information from the original image.

This is a pretty serious vulnerability. For example, if you share a screenshot of an order confirmation page on Amazon, it may contain an address, the same goes for credit card numbers and other sensitive data.
