Ransomware attack shuts down automatic US prison doors

Published

on

The Bernalillo detention center in the United States suffered a ransomware attack on January 5th. The entire New Mexico prison system went offline between midnight and five in the morning, disabling security cameras and door opening and closing mechanisms.

The database with information on crimes and records on prisoners was also unavailable. As a result of the incident, all detainees were kept in confinement in their cells and visitor access was suspended. While technicians tried to normalize the situation, staff had to use keys to manually open and close the prison doors.

The attack hit the entirety of Bernalillo County, the most populous in New Mexico. Local government databases were also unavailable. Therefore, all public offices were temporarily closed.

No information was released about those responsible for the attack, compromise of data or ransom demand. Five days after the attack, only part of the services were resumed and the local economy suffers.

In a statement, the government said that emergency and public safety services are fully operational. However, realtors complain that they are unable to access tax and deed tabs to complete sales.

Ransomware attacks are considered the biggest cyber threat to private companies and public institutions in the US. A Forcepoint survey found that 75% of professionals believe malware and ransomware attacks will be the top cyber threats to organizations in the next 12 months.

A task force to fight crime was created in the country in 2021 to share information on the topic. However, US Treasury reports point out that the year should have a record for ransonware payouts.

Is this iPhone possessed by the devil? The girl took a picture of herself in front of the mirrors and discovered that the reflections in the mirrors did not match her pose.

Is this iPhone possessed by the devil The girl took

Modern mobile photography is increasingly turning into computational photography every year. And sometimes this results in very interesting incidents, as in the photo below.

Is this iPhone possessed by the devil?  The girl took a picture of herself in front of the mirrors and discovered that the reflections in the mirrors did not match her pose.

At first glance, it may seem that everything is in order with the picture. But if you look more closely, you can see that the girl who published this photo looks different in two neighboring mirrors, and besides, neither of the mirrors reflects the girl’s real pose.

Creating such an image in Photoshop or another editor is not difficult, but the caveat is that this photo was taken on an iPhone without any further processing.

The reason for this result is actually quite simple. For some reason, the iPhone algorithms mistook the girl’s reflections for other people, and since modern photos are taken by gluing together many instantly taken photographs, we see that from somewhere in this set of photos the iPhone took one girl, from somewhere else, and then I glued it all together.

The funny thing is that in the past, when there was no talk of any modern smartphones or cameras, such a photo could have been regarded as the work of the devil.
