On December 18, Comcast notified customers of a «recent data security incident» with one of its software companies that exposed their personal information to an outside party. In October, someone gained «unauthorized access» to customers' usernames and hashed passwords for a period of four days. And it gets worse: Comcast says that «for some customers, other information was also included, such as names, contact information, last four digits of social security numbers, dates of birth and/or secret questions and answers.»
As CBS News reports, the data breach seems to have affected basically everyone subscribed to Xfinity—some 36 million Comcast Xfinity subscribers. The company reported over 32 million internet customers in a recent earnings report; according to the data breach notification Comcast filed with the Maine attorney general's office on Monday, the October hack affected 35,879,455 people. That's nearly 36 million, «including residents,» presumably meaning household members of Xfinity subscribers. That makes it hard to pin down exactly how many customers were victims of the breach, but regardless, if you're an Xfinity subscriber, change your password immediately.
According to Comcast, the company had determined «that information was likely acquired» in the breach back on November 16, and then it took until December 6 to determine that information included usernames, hashed passwords, and so on.
I'm sure there's a mountain of red tape and legal liability blah blah to wade through before reporting a breach that affects 36 million people—but also, Comcast could've potentially told those 36 million people to change their passwords and security questions more than a month ago. The company has given whoever hacked it a full extra month to make use of that compromising information.
The US government has recently been pushing for more cybersecurity regulation, and a new SEC measure on cybersecurity risk management, which just went into effect on December 18, requires companies to disclose «any cybersecurity incident they determine to be material [to investors]» within four business days. While the SEC's primarily out to protect the stock market here, the rules will hopefully also benefit anyone affected by a serious breach like this one by speeding up the notification process.
Xfinity is now prompting internet subscribers to reset their passwords. If you were impacted, also make sure to change your password on any other service you used the same password for, and make sure to enable two-factor authentication wherever you can. You should also change your security questions and/or enable two-factor authentication on any services where you used the same security questions, since those could potentially be

InfoWars host Alex Jones now has a game on Steam—the same Alex Jones who fundraised for and attended the January 6 protests that led to the storming of the US Capitol building and who owes $1.5 billion to the families of murdered children over defamation.

@BearsEatBeets @LN78 Have no idea, as I've not seen the film in god know how long and don't remember that scene.
Focusing on the key campaigns of the US air force during World War 2 was something executive producer Gary Goetzman and his partners, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, "had always talked about" in the wake of their hit shows Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010).
Microsoft President Brad Smith has softened his stance on the UK regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority, following the Microsoft – Activision deal.
In yet another blow to China as it attempts to maintain a path towards self-reliance, Dutch-based lithography systems manufacturer ASML has revoked shipments of some of its DUV machines thanks to a request brought forward by the Biden administration. The export ban for such equipment was supposed to come into effect after a few weeks, which would have given China a little breathing room to procure sufficient machinery to continue mass producing chips for various applications, but the U.S. had other plans.
So what did we learn this year? Specifically, I am asking how the real-world events of the past 12 months should have caused us to update our social scientific views. In a year rich with news, which insights turned out to be more useful, or less? The first big lesson from 2023 is hopeful: Huge gains in technology can be made very quickly.
