In a statement, AT&T said, “We have long supported a comprehensive federal privacy policy protecting all Americans that applies across the internet ecosystem. Currently, data privacy laws exist in 19 states covering at least 150 million Americans, though differing in scale and scope. Industry trade groups say that while cyber security and data privacy can be interrelated, there is tension between those concepts that might not be fully covered in a data privacy law. What it’s like trying to pass data privacy lawsWhen Collin Walke, a data privacy and cybersecurity attorney, was in the Oklahoma House, he focused on data privacy legislation. One lobby, the State Privacy & Security Coalition, represents AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Meta, as well as automobile, healthcare and payment card companies.

New York CNN —If you were an AT&T cellphone customer in 2022, your call data was possibly breached to bad actors. AT&T said Friday that data was breached from “nearly all” of its cellular customers and the customers of wireless providers that used its network between May 1, 2022, and October 31, 2022. The records of a “very small number” of customers from January 2, 2023, were also breached, AT&T said. What they did get is metadata — call logs that contain a record of every number AT&T customers called or texted (including customers of other wireless networks), the number of times they interacted and the call duration. The age of artificial intelligence makes this even more pressing, according to Collin Walke, cybersecurity and data privacy partner at Hall Estill.

☆ Who will care for older adults? We’ve plenty of know-how but too few specialists

Research suggests each geriatrician should care for no more than 700 patients; the current ratio of providers to older patients is 1 to 10,000. In some respects, geriatrics has been remarkably successful in disseminating principles and practices meant to improve the care of older adults. Under this model, older adults with acute but non-life-threatening illnesses get care at home, managed closely by nurses and doctors. In July 2019, the American College of Surgeons created a program with 32 standards designed to improve the care of older adults. The bright lights, noise, and harried atmosphere in hospital emergency rooms can disorient older adults.

☆ The generative A.I. battle between companies and hackers is starting

More and more individuals have the capabilities of hackers, using things like ransomware-as-a-service and AI, and for CISOs and other cyber leaders, the rapid adoption of generative AI "changes the threat landscape tremendously," he said. For example, the use of generative AI has made phishing attacks easier and more authentic looking. With generative AI, a non-English-speaking bad actor can instantly and nearly flawlessly translate an email into any language, making it harder for employees to spot the fakes. In fact, using AI to amplify speed and scale in cybersecurity is among the biggest benefits experts see coming in the near term. I think over the next year, cyber leaders are going to figure out where AI is really useful and where it's not."

☆ Biden EPA cracks down on mercury pollution from power plants
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( Emma Newburger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Michael Regan, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), speaks during an event at the EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Monday, Dec. 20, 2021. The agency's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards rule would be the most stringent update on regulations on mercury emissions since the Obama administration's standards in 2012. The proposal is the latest action by the Biden administration to address environmental justice and air pollution while curbing climate-warming emissions. The EPA also recently unveiled tougher limits on deadly soot pollution and is expected to propose updated greenhouse gas rules for power plants in the coming weeks. The new rule would aim to reduce remaining mercury emissions by 70% while curbing other non-mercury metal pollution such as nickel, arsenic and lead.

În urmă cu câteva săptămâni, Marea Britanie a fost pusă în carantină peste noapte de întreaga planetă. Fostul record similar a fost de 2.847 de persoane care au așteptat 12 ore pentru un pat în ianuarie 2020. Pe de altă parte, Marea Britanie este cea mai eficientă țară când vine vorba de programul de vaccinare. A fost detectată în eșantioane care datau din octombrie și ulterior a fost reperată în alte câteva țări, în special în Regatul Unit și în Franța. Reacția agresivă față de Marea Britanie de acum câteva săptămâni nu a fost una alimentată de descoperiri științifice, ci de frică.
