"🔥 Dallas Under Siege: Royal Ransomware Strikes! 🔥"

The City of Dallas reveals that the Royal ransomware attack in May began with a compromised account. The city had to shut down all IT systems as a precaution after their network printers began printing out ransom notes the morning of the incident.

Dallas, Texas faced a nasty ransomware attack by the Royal gang, starting with a stolen account. From early April to May, the gang got into the city's network, swiping over a terabyte of files before dropping ransomware into the system on May 3rd.

The city fought back, taking crucial servers offline and starting the long process of fixing things up with the help of cybersecurity experts. It took over five weeks to get all servers back up, from the financial to the waste management ones.
The attack exposed personal info of over 30,000 individuals, costing the city a whopping $8.5 million for recovery efforts. The Royal gang, known for its sneaky phishing attacks and exploiting security flaws, emerged as a big threat in the cyber world, especially targeting enterprises. 🌆💻🔓

Karen Attiah: All praise the #drag queens of Texas

"This is the heart of the matter. To uplift is serious spiritual work. But to oppress is as well. Those who pass bills such as #SB12, and who direct insults and violence at #LGBTQ+ people, are doing the dark spiritual labor of denying people their humanity, their expression, their safety and security.

Sunday was a lesson in how to remain compassionate — and glamorous — in the face of oppression. The Sisters told me that despite the attacks, they were not deterred from doing their spiritual work. The rest of us shouldn’t be, either."

US businessman is wannabe ‘warlord’ of secretive far-right men’s network

The founder and sponsor of a far-right network of secretive, #men-only, #invitation-only fraternal lodges in the US is a former industrialist who has frequently speculated about his future as a #warlord after the collapse of America, a Guardian investigation has found.

Federal and state tax and company filings show that the Society for American Civic Renewal (#SACR) and its creator, #Charles #Haywood, also have financial ties with the far-right #Claremont #Institute.

SACR’s most recent IRS filing names Haywood as the national organization’s principal officer. Other filings identify three lodges in Idaho – in #Boise, #Coeur d’Alene and #Moscow – and another in #Dallas, Texas.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/22/charles-haywood-claremont-institute-sacr-far-right?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The “possibilities involving violence” that his "#Armed #Patronage #Network" might face, Haywood writes include “more-or-less open #warfare with the federal government, or some subset or remnant of it”.
Further on, Haywood writes: “At this moment I preside over what amounts to a extended, quite sizeable, compound, which when complete I like to say, accurately, will be impervious to anything but direct organized military attack”, adding that “it requires a group of men to make it work … what I call ‘#shooters’ – say fifteen able-bodied, and adequately trained, men.”
These “shooters”, Haywood explains, “can operate my compound, both defensively and administratively”, meanwhile, “I have the personality, and skills, to lead such a group.”

My grandson, 15, was a passenger in a car that has been in a gnarly auto accident and is laying in a hospital north of #Dallas, TX. His mom is there, being medical advocate. I’m many hundreds of miles away. But, I would love to be able to pass along to her the number of a good #attorney. He went through the windshield, ejected from the car. It ain’t pretty. But he’s being a brave lad. Told his mom he “felt like Superman, flying through the air.” But he landed on his back 50 feet from the car, breaking 6 ribs, damaging his spleen & liver, 3-4 vertebrae etc. so I’d have to say he’s being fairly brave about it all. Anyway, I’m not doing a GoFundMe campaign, but I am asking if anyone’s familiar with a good, competent legal practice working in the #Texoma region north of Dallas? Let me know if you have anyone you’d recommend? TIA.

”I want to live
in the negative space
of your landscapes, recede into
shadows on the horizon soft like
an echo,
a ghost note.”

Mit #Yellowstone kann ich nicht wirklich was anfangen, das ist mir einfach zu sehr #Dallas, und die Weltsicht aus der das geschrieben wurde, ist durchaus US-Republikaner-kompatibel. Erstaunlicherweise sind die Ableger #1883 und #1923 (die auch völlig ohne die Mutterserie funktionieren) wirklich gut! Gerade 1923 schafft es, große Emotionen übers Display ins Wohnzimmer zu wuppen. Eine Art reaktionärer Basis-Vibe schwingt allerdings auch hier mit.

Although #Republicans are targeting the #LGBTQIA+ community in #Texas, this is nothing new. We've fought for decades—and won before. We will win again.

No sooner do I post that than Vegas scores AGAIN. #Dallas fans have every right to be pissed. What an embarrassment.

Gonna be hard to want to wear my Jamie Benn jersey any time soon after his ridiculous penalty tonight for the #Dallas #Stars. Major penalty pissed away any chance they had of climbing back into it. Shameful and ridiculous.

Well, #Dallas owned that game for 55 minutes but that wasn’t enough. They’ve now wasted two good OT chances and are down 0-2 in the WCF. So frustrating.

Wow, #Dallas hitting the post twice in the first few minutes of the third period. Those two go in and the game is tied. Game of inches.
