Twitter leak of email addresses totals at least 200 million

Comment

Records of 235 million Twitter accounts and the email addresses used to register them have been posted to an online hacking forum, setting the stage for anonymous handles to be linked to real-world identities.

That poses threats of exposure, arrest or violence against people who used Twitter to criticize governments or powerful individuals, and it could open up others to extortion, security experts said. Hackers could also use the email addresses to attempt to reset passwords and take control of accounts, especially those not protected by two-factor authentication.

“This database is going to be used by hackers, political hacktivists and of course governments to harm our privacy even further,” said Alon Gal, co-founder of the Israeli security company Hudson Rock, who spotted the posting on a popular underground marketplace.

The records were probably compiled in late 2021, using a flaw in Twitter’s system that allowed outsiders who already had an email address or phone number to find any account that had shared that information with Twitter. Those lookups could be automated to check an unlimited list of emails or phone numbers.

Twitter said in August that it had learned of the vulnerability in January 2022 through its reward program for bug reports and that the vulnerability had been accidentally introduced in a code update seven months before that.

In July, hackers were spotted selling a set of 5.4 million Twitter account handles and associated emails and phone numbers, which Twitter said was the first it learned that someone had taken advantage of the flaw.

The much larger data dump was almost certainly compiled in the same way and has been offered for private sale and circulated for a while before the recent publication, Gal said.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission said last month that it was investigating the earlier breach and that Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation might have been violated. The new batch is likely to add to the intensity of that probe and an ongoing inquiry by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission into whether Twitter has been violating consent decrees in which it promised to better protect user data. The FTC declined to comment.

Three-quarters of Twitter users live outside the United States and Canada.

Twitter did not respond to an email seeking comment and asking if the company had any advice for users.

Those users at the least risk provided throwaway email addresses or ones not tied to them elsewhere. But even they could be subject to account takeover attempts, phishing or emailed threats.

In its previous statement, Twitter said it fixed the flaw when it learned of it but did not say how long the process took. The report from January 2022 came during a chaotic month when the company fired both of its top security officers.

One of them, Peiter Zatko, had been arguing internally that Twitter was grossly unprepared to fend off hacking attempts, and he later filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission and testified about the deficiencies in Congress.

While 235 million published records ranks among the largest breaches anywhere, it is only the latest in a stretch of security disasters at Twitter dating back more than a decade. Frequent account takeovers led to a 2011 settlement with the FTC that Zatko said the company has been violating.

While Elon Musk previously used Zatko’s testimony about poor security practices in a failed attempt to get out of buying the company, he has since laid off many of its security staffers.

GM third quarter sales rise 24% over 2021 totals

DETROIT – General Motors’ third-quarter vehicle sales increased 24% compared to a year ago, when supply chain issues weighed more heavily on the company’s output.

The Detroit automaker on Monday said it sold 555,580 vehicles from July through September, up from 447,000 a year earlier, when sales were depressed due to Malaysia-related supply issues of semiconductor chips. The increase was in line with or higher than industry analysts’ expectations of an at least 21.6% increase.

Regarding electric vehicles, GM said it plans to increase production of its Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV after the vehicles recorded their best quarterly sales ever at 14,709 units. GM intends to boost calendar-year production for global markets from approximately 44,000 vehicles in 2022 to more than 70,000 in 2023.

The increase for GM’s older Bolt models is in contrast to production of the pricy GMC Hummer EV pickup. Beginning in late November, the company on Monday said it will pause production of the pickup for several weeks to pull ahead body shop upgrades for the upcoming electric Chevrolet Silverado.

The company has been producing the Hummer EV pickup, which was the first vehicle to feature GM’s next-generation Ultium batteries and platform, at a snail’s pace compared to its typical output of vehicles.

GM did not immediately release sales of individual vehicles such as the Hummer EV, which it traditionally has each quarter.

GM is among the first major automakers to report third-quarter sales Monday. Overall, analysts estimate automakers sold 3.4 million new light-duty vehicles in the U.S., down less than 1% from the same time last year.

Automakers continue to deal with supply chain issues – from semiconductors and wire harnesses to smaller parts such as vehicle and company logos.

GM ended the third quarter with 359,292 vehicles in dealer inventory, including units in-transit, an increase of 111,453 units from the previous quarter. That’s nearly three times the inventory available at the end of the third quarter of 2021, when Covid-related supply chain issues impacted production.

‘Booster effort is falling short’: Daily booster shots now half of December totals: COVID updates

Interest in booster shots is waning, and just 40% of fully vaccinated Americans have received a booster dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The average number of booster shots dispensed per day in the U.S. declined from 1 million in early December to less than half of that number last week.

Initial vaccinations also have leveled off. Less than two-thirds – 63% – of Americans are fully vaccinated with the initial rounds of shots, while Wyoming, Idaho, Mississippi and Alabama have vaccinations rates below 50%.

And a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that Americans are more likely to see those jabs – rather than a booster – as essential.

“It’s clear that the booster effort is falling short,” said Jason Schwartz, a vaccine policy expert at Yale University.

Also in the news:

►Two members of Norway’s women’s cross-country ski squad have tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of next month’s Beijing Olympics, the team said Wednesday. It was uncertain whether Heidi Weng and Anne Kjersti Kalvå will participate in the Games.

►Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, and Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-New Mexico, joined the long list of lawmakers who have announced positive COVID tests. Both described their infections as breakthrough cases.

►California showed signs of turning the corner on the omicron wave, with infection rates falling and hospitalizations well short of the overwhelming deluge officials feared a few weeks ago.

📈Today’s numbers: The U.S. has recorded more than 72 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 871,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Global totals: More than 357 million cases and over 5.6 million deaths. More than 210 million Americans — 63.5% — are fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kansas considers easing ivermectin restrictions

The Kansas Senate is considering a bill making it easier for doctors to prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19. The bill would also require pharmacists to fill such prescriptions, even if they believe the drugs would be dangerous for patients. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned against using the drugs for COVID-19, Kansas joins Indiana, Iowa and a handful of other states considering bills to shield doctors from legal liability and board discipline for prescribing the drugs.

“This is politics, unfortunately, and not health care,” said Steve Stites, the chief medical officer at The University of Kansas Health System. “And when politics gets involved in health care, it kind of gets a little messy.”

Study shows omicron really isn’t as severe as other virus versions

A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found that although the omicron variant has shattered COVID-19 case and hospitalization records, other factors have shown it’s still less severe than other waves in the pandemic. The highly contagious variant has pushed the U.S. to break 1 million cases in a day multiple times and the pace of reported deaths is currently above 15,000 per week.

But despite omicron seeing the highest reported numbers of hospitalizations during the pandemic, the ratio of emergency department visits and hospitalizations to case numbers were actually lower compared to the COVID-19 waves from the delta variant and during winter 2020–21, the study says. Intensive care unit admission, length of stay, and in-hospital deaths were all lower during omicron, the CDC report says, likely in part due to vaccinations and booster shots.

Omicron’s new variant cousin has arrived in the US

Don’t panic yet, experts say.

Unlike two years ago when everyone was first learning about COVID-19, there are now many tools to combat the disease, and, like its cousin, omicron BA.2 is expected to remain relatively mild.

“I don’t think it’s going to cause the degree of chaos and disruption, morbidity and mortality that BA.1 did,” said Dr. Jacob Lemieux, an infectious disease specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “I’m cautiously optimistic that we’re going to continue to move to a better place and, hopefully, one where each new variant on the horizon isn’t news.”

While COVID-19 cases have begun to decline in places like Massachusetts, where omicron hit hard late last year, cases of BA.2 are on the rise in the Philippines, India, Denmark and South Africa, Lemieux said. Cases have been reported in the United States, too – so far in California, New Mexico, Texas and Washington state.

It’s not clear yet whether BA.2 is pushing out the original omicron variant, now referred to as BA.1, he said.

Joe Burrow believes low COVID-19 totals among Bengals partly due to Cincinnati’s lack of nightlife

CINCINNATI — Being in a small market might not be so bad after all.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said having limited nightlife options in the city has helped the team keep its number of COVID-19 cases down as positive tests have surged around the NFL in recent weeks.

“Fortunately, there’s not a ton to do in Cincinnati,” Burrow said Wednesday. “Nobody is going out to clubs and bars and getting COVID every weekend. But we’ve been healthy.”

The Bengals (8-6) currently have just one player on the reserve/COVID-19 list — starting cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.

Throughout the season, the Bengals have been careful with players experiencing signs of illness, holding them out for precautionary reasons. The NFL sent a leaguewide memo last week announcing stricter COVID-19 protocols as cases spiked and caused logistical problems.

The Cleveland Browns had their game against the Las Vegas Raiders moved from Saturday to Monday, and two other Week 15 games — Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams and Washington-Philadelphia Eagles — were postponed from Sunday to Tuesday.

“We’re still a healthy team, which not a lot of people can say at this point of the season,” Burrow said. “We’ve been lucky as far as injuries and COVID.”

The Bengals are tied for the AFC North lead with the Baltimore Ravens (8-6), and they play this weekend in Cincinnati. A Bengals victory would give them a clean sweep over the Ravens this season.

The lack of attractions in downtown Cincinnati hasn’t been lost on local officials.

Within the past decade, the area between the Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium and the Cincinnati Reds’ Great American Ball Park known as “The Banks” has seen significant development. In March, the city designated areas between both stadiums where open containers of alcohol are allowed on the street. The Andrew J. Brady Music Center, which is adjacent to Paul Brown Stadium, also opened this year.

MLB Proposes Replacing Arbitration With Salaries Based Off Player WAR Totals

In August, Major League Baseball made its first core economics proposal to the MLB Players Association. That would’ve involved a radical restructuring of the game’s economic system, first granting players free agency at age 29 1/2 (as opposed to after six years of MLB service) and replacing the current arbitration structure with a pool-based system attached to revenues.

This week, the league proposed an unexpected wrinkle in CBA talks. While the new proposal contains the same age threshold for free agency qualification, Evan Drellich, Ken Rosenthal and Eno Sarris of the Athletic report that this offer would tie pre-free agency pay directly to a player’s Wins Above Replacement tally. Under this structure, a player’s service time and career WAR marks (weighted to emphasize the most recent seasons more heavily) would set the player’s salary. While multiple websites calculate WAR totals in different ways, MLB’s proposal would base salaries on FanGraphs’ WAR tabulations.

Earlier this afternoon, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reported (on Twitter) that MLB had offered to replace the arbitration system with salaries based on an algorithm. Nicholson-Smith added that the MLBPA was not enamored with that idea, and the Athletic trio quotes one player representative as saying that such an offer has “zero chance” of being approved.

That’s not at all surprising. MLB’s proposal to set free agency at 29 1/2 years has always looked to be a non-starter for the players. The league’s top prospects typically reach the majors in their early-mid 20’s. Those who live up to their promise will often pass six years of service and hit free agency in advance of their age-28 or age-29 seasons. Marketing as many prime-aged seasons as possible is what often allows players to land contracts that push free agency forward, and the league’s proposal could tether that elite group to their original teams for longer than the current system does. (For example, neither of this offseason’s top two free agents — Carlos Correa and Corey Seager — would be eligible for free agency were the age set at 29 1/2).

Certainly, the age threshold would impact some players positively as well. Players like Aaron Judge and Willson Contreras would’ve reached free agency this winter as opposed to going into their final year of arbitration. A late bloomer like Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom would’ve been on the open market instead of making the league minimum salary, and he’d have likely made a few million dollars in 2022 coming off a 28-homer showing over just 375 plate appearances. Overall, though, the union likely sees the 29 1/2 year age threshold as too old to be more desirable than the current service structure.

Fixing player salaries to a statistical formula comes with its own challenges. Past performance will, of course, always be relevant to player pay. The existing arbitration system awards players salaries based on their combination of service time and prior salaries of statistically-comparable players. There’s a case to be made that MLB’s proposal would modernize that process.

Arbitration can lean a little more heavily than most modern teams do on traditional box score statistics like pitcher wins, saves, and hitters’ home runs and RBI totals. While arbitrators will also consider newer, WAR-like metrics, their comparative reliance on old-school stats has led to arb salaries for closers and defensively-limited sluggers tending to skew higher than teams have been willing to pay. On the other hand, arbitrators haven’t generally placed as much value as clubs have on glove-first players and high-leverage setup relievers. Basing pre-free agency salaries off WAR would probably help to close that gap.

That said, the MLBPA seems likely to take issue with tying salaries to WAR directly. As the Athletic scribes write, using that metric is particularly challenging with regards to relievers. Both the free agent and arbitration markets have valued bullpen arms more highly than WAR totals typically do. Advanced defensive metrics — a key component in WAR calculations — can be unstable on a yearly basis. Over the long run, those metrics tend to align with general evaluations of a player’s defensive acumen. Fixing salaries weighted heavily on single-season defensive metrics, though, seems suboptimal.

WAR naturally involves making imprecise adjustments for different parks, which could pose problems when teams adjust playing field dimensions. And WAR metrics differ on how to separate a pitcher’s contributions from those of his defense; FanGraphs, upon which MLB’s proposal would be based, evaluates pitchers essentially off their strikeout, walk and home run rates. That strips out ball in play luck but also creates some seemingly odd results. For instance, Aaron Nola — who threw 180 2/3 innings of 4.63 ERA/3.37 FIP ball — had a higher 2021 fWAR than Robbie Ray, who tossed 193 1/3 frames of 2.84 ERA/3.69 FIP pitching.

None of this is meant as an indictment of WAR models generally or of FanGraphs’ choices specifically. Most or all MLB teams rely on similar calculations in making player evaluations. That’s with good reason, since advanced metrics of that nature can offer insights into players not found by typical box score stats. Still, these limitations highlight the potential pitfalls of tying player salaries directly to this one statistic.

MLB’s proposal looks unlikely to make much headway ultimately, and both sides will continue negotiations as we near the expiration of the current CBA on December 1. Nicholson-Smith reports that the two sides are scheduled to meet next on Monday.

N.J. weather: Updated snowfall totals across state, with 25 inches already on the ground in some towns

Those snow accumulation numbers across New Jersey keep shooting up, with several towns now reporting as much as 25 inches on the ground — and one town with a measurement of 30 inches as of 7:20 p.m. Monday.

All that snow, and the monster winter storm still has a long way to go before it tapers down.

The top snow totals Monday morning were 8 to 9 inches, but during the afternoon hours when the storm intensified, accumulations jumped to as much as a 2 feet in some parts of the Garden State. The big leader so far is Mendham in Morris County, with a whopping 30 inches of snow reported by the National Weather Service Monday evening.

That is only 4 inches away from matching New Jersey’s all-time snowstorm record of 34 inches — a record that has stood for nearly 122 years. The elusive record was set during a multi-day storm that stretched from Feb. 11 to Feb. 14, 1899, in Cape May.

Among the other huge snowfall totals reported Monday evening were 28 inches in Sparta in Sussex County, 26 inches in Ledgewood and Long Valley in Morris County, and 25.8 inches in Randolph, also in Morris.

Here’s a rundown of the latest snowfall accumulations in each county, reported by the National Weather Service’s regional forecast offices in New Jersey and New York regional office, along with the Community Cooperative Rain, Hail & Snow Network, as of 4 p.m. Monday.
