  • SEC suing AT&T for telling analysts nonpublic information

    The Securities and Exchange Commission is suing AT&T and three of its investor relations executives for telling Wall Street analysts about the telecom giant's sales data before it released quarterly results. The early warning helped AT&T avoid having its results fall short of Wall Street expectations, according to the SEC's complaint filed in Manhattan federal court. The U.S. financial regulator said Friday that in March 2016, AT&T was worried that a steeper-than-expected decline in smartphone sales would make it miss Wall Street estimates for its first quarter.

  • Microsoft Server Flaws Raise Alarms at White House, DHS

    (Bloomberg) -- Newly discovered flaws in Microsoft Corp.’s software for email has raised concerns at the highest levels of the U.S. government, which is urging users to immediately apply patches.At least 30,000 organizations across the U.S., including significant numbers of small businesses and local governments, have been hacked via holes in Microsoft’s email software in the last few days by suspected Chinese attackers who are focused on stealing email from victims, the blog KrebsonSecurity reported Friday.“This is a significant vulnerability that could have far-reaching impacts,” said Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, speaking at a briefing. “We are concerned there are a large number of victims.” She characterized the incident as an “active threat.”Her remark comes after Microsoft disclosed on Tuesday that nation-state hackers based in China were exploiting previously unknown flaws in on-premise versions of the software and released patches for them. The following day, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is known as CISA and is part of the Department of Homeland Security, issued an emergency directive in response to “observed active exploitation of these products.” As a result, civilian agencies and departments were directed to apply the patches, or disconnect Microsoft Exchange from their networks, and to look for compromises.Government concern over the flaws continued to build over the course of the week. On Thursday, CISA released an alert stating that it was aware of hackers using tools to search for servers that hadn’t yet been patched. That evening, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan wrote on Twitter that the U.S. is “closely tracking Microsoft’s emergency patch.” He cited “reports of potential compromises of U.S. think tanks and defense industrial base entities.”The specific targets and timing of the hacking remains unknown. Defense Department spokesman John Kirby said the Pentagon is assessing its systems based on Microsoft’s advisory. The cybersecurity firm FireEye Inc. found that victims included “U.S.-based retailers, local governments, a university, and an engineering firm.” The version of exchange targeted by hackers is typically run by small businesses, putting them at special risk, according to Allan Liska, an analyst at the firm Recorded Future Inc..A Microsoft representative said the vulnerabilities were disclosed to the company in early January. Microsoft isn’t aware of attacks before then, the representative said.The cybersecurity firm Volexity reported finding attacks leveraging the flaws that date back to as early as Jan. 6. However, CISA urged operators to look for compromises dating back to September, “out of an abundance of caution,” according to a spokesperson.(Updates with additional details starting in the fifth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Zona rossa e arancione, ordinanza: i colori delle regioni

    Campania in zona rossa, Friuli Venezia Giulia e Veneto in zona arancione. Da lunedì 8 marzo, altre 3 regioni cambiano colore mentre l'epidemia di coronavirus accelera e la situazione in Italia peggiora. L'indice Rt sale a 1,06, come evidenzia il report Iss, superando la soglia di 1 dopo 7 settimane. La Lombardia è entrata in zona arancione rafforzata, come buona parte del Piemonte. L'Emilia Romagna è in zona arancione, ma la zona rossa già adottata per le province di Bologna e Modena è destinata ad estendersi anche altre province. Lazio e Liguria rimangono in zona gialla. Il quadro è complesso, come evidenzia il report Iss: "Dieci regioni e province autonome hanno un Rt puntuale maggiore di 1". Sono Basilicata, Emilia Romagna, Lombardia, Marche, Molise, Piemonte, Trento, Toscana, Valle d'Aosta e Veneto. "Si osserva un peggioramento anche nel numero di Regioni e Province autonome che hanno un tasso di occupazione in terapia intensiva e aree mediche sopra la soglia critica: sono 9, erano 8 la settimana precedente", evidenzia il report. "Il tasso di occupazione in terapia intensiva a livello nazionale è complessivamente in aumento (26% rispetto al 24% della scorsa settimana). Complessivamente, il numero di persone ricoverate in terapia intensiva è in netto aumento da 2.146 (23 febbraio) a 2.327 (02 marzo). Il numero di persone ricoverate in aree mediche è passato da 18.295 a 19.570". Zona rossa: Campania, Molise, Basilicata. Zona arancione: Lombardia, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Abruzzo, Piemonte, Emilia Romagna, Piemonte, Umbria, Toscana, province autonome di Bolzano e Trento. Zona gialla: Lazio, Liguria, Calabria, Puglia, Sicilia e Valle d'Aosta. Zona bianca: Sardegna. La Campania arriva in zona rossa dopo una giornata con 2.842 contagi e 13 decessi. Il tasso di positività nella regione è dell'11,22%. "Come era ampiamente prevedibile ormai siamo in zona rossa perché questo livello di contagio non si può più reggere, perché la ricaduta sulla rete ospedaliera diventa grande e alla lunga insostenibile", ha detto il governatore Vincenzo De Luca. "Abbiamo già oggi un appesantimento della situazione negli ospedali, in particolare al Cardarelli. E' evidente che bisogna prendere misure eccezionali", ha aggiunto. Il Veneto in zona arancione mentre registra 1.505 nuovi contagi e 25 morti. "Siamo zona arancione. Il dato fa comprendere quanto corra velocemente l'infezione. Le proiezioni sono preoccupanti. Siamo davanti ad una mutazione del virus che è dal 43% al 100% più contagioso. Speriamo sia l'ultima", le parole del governatore Luca Zaia. Per il Friuli Venezia Giulia, il passaggio dal giallo alla zona arancione si concretizza mentre vengono registrati 12 morti e 823 nuovi contagi. "L'ingresso in zona arancione dall'8 marzo -dice il governatore Massimiliano Fedriga - è riconducibile non tanto all'indice Rt quanto al repentino e vistoso aumento dei contagi nel nostro territorio regionale che ci colloca a rischio alto". Ancora domani e domenica, spiega una nota, le sole aree delle ex province di Trieste e Pordenone permarranno gialle; da lunedì tutto il territorio del Friuli Venezia Giulia sarà pertanto zona arancione, con didattica a distanza per le scuole medie, superiori e università. La Sardegna, unica regione in zona bianca, vara controlli anti Covid 19 per chi arriva da lunedì 8 marzo. Tutti coloro che vogliono raggiungere l’Isola, prima di imbarcarsi su linee aeree o marittime, devono registrarsi nel sito della Regione e presentare copia della ricevuta di avvenuta registrazione con la carta d’imbarco e il documento d’identità in corso di validità. Nella piattaforma istituzionale, i passeggeri in arrivo possono dimostrare l'avvenuta vaccinazione (prima e seconda dose) o di essersi sottoposti a tampone molecolare, con esito negativo, eseguito non oltre le 48 ore dalla partenza. Chi arriva senza aver fatto il test nè il vaccino, una volta sbarcato dovrà sottoporsi al tampone rapido nelle aree che saranno predisposte nei porti e negli aeroporti. In caso di risultato negativo, il passeggero dovrà ripetere l’antigenico dopo 5 giorni, mentre nel caso risultasse positivo, dovrà sottoporsi a tampone molecolare, a proprie spese e ha l’obbligo di isolamento fiduciario, dall’ingresso in Sardegna per i successivi dieci giorni. L’ordinanza resterà in vigore fino al 24 marzo. Sempre in serata, il presidente Solinas ha firmato anche una seconda ordinanza che mantiene immutate le disposizioni sulla didattica a distanza per le scuole Superiori e sul contingentamento dei posti sui mezzi pubblici regionali.

  • Orietta Berti trasforma i Maneskin in Naziskin, la gaffe è servita

    "Mi piacerebbe cantare con i Naziskin". Orietta Berti modifica 'lievemente' il nome dei Maneskin e la gaffe è servita. Nel corso di una diretta social con il magazine Le Rane, la cantente confessa che le piacerebbe duettare con "Ermal Metal", con una 'elle' di troppo "e con i Naziskin". Ovviamente, la veterana del festival della canzone italiana intende dire Maneskin, ma la confusione non sfugge all'occhio di lince del web, che non perde l'occasione d'oro: in poche ore spunta un florilegio di meme, fotomontaggi, video e vignette che ironizzano sulla clamorosa gaffe. E così, ecco Orietta comparire sorridente ad un rave di nerboruti tatuati con il braccio alzato, salire su un palco metal e abbracciare il cantante, o fare addominali mostrando pettorali e svastica tatuata sul petto. Per finire, l'artista emiliana sale persino sul palco ad un concerto di Capodanno ed eccola cantare, al posto di 'Finché la barca va...', un pezzo heavy metal. Niente male, per un'artista che quest'anno compirà 77 anni, e riesce ancora e sempre a far parlare di sé.
