Google Chrome's uBlock Origin Purge Has Begun
In what may be a first, the US Department of Justice this week charged a hacker with attempting to cause injury and death by launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against hospitals. Ahmed Omer and his brother Alaa are accused of carrying out a cyberattack spree that targeted hundreds of victims under the hacktivist banner Anonymous Sudan. The group's DDoS victims included Microsoft's Azure cloud services, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Israel's missile alert system, according to prosecutors. It was the brothers' alleged attacks on hospitals, however, that drew the most serious accusations from the Justice Department, which singled out Ahmed for allegedly seeking to kill people with the crude cyberattacks that overwhelm systems, knocking them offline. If someone told you there's a tool that can--using only open source information--create a "cyber profile" of you that can locate your phone in real time or place you at the scene of a crime at any date in the past, would you believe them?
