Microsoft warned Tuesday that a hacking group supported by the Chinese government is exploiting security flaws in an email program popular among American businesses. The company said in a blog post that the group, named Hafnium, is trying to take advantage of previously unknown security weaknesses in the email application Exchange Server. Microsoft called on customers to update Exchange Server to fix four susceptibilities in the program. Microsoft said it determined Hafnium was behind the hack “based on observed victimology, tactics and procedures.” ADVERTISEMENT “Even though we’ve worked quickly to deploy an update for the Hafnium exploits, we know that many nation-state actors and criminal groups will move quickly to take advantage of any unpatched systems,” Tom Burt, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of customer trust and security, wrote in a blog post . Microsoft said Hafnium waged “limited and targeted attacks” by working through leased virtual private … [Read more...] about Microsoft says Chinese hacking group targeting security flaws in business email app

close Video Green New Deal would create ‘more events’ like Texas power outage: Rick Perry Rick Perry, former Energy Secretary and former Texas governor, discusses the potential impacts of progressive energy policies on ‘America Reports.’ As Texas entered a deep freeze on Feb. 14, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio broke seven record lows over three days. Ice-laden trees snapped power lines. Wind turbines ground to a halt while some reliable natural gas, coal and nuclear plants failed to get energy to the grid. Electricity demand hit an all-time high – but the supply wasn’t available, plunging some four million Texans into the cold and darkness. As massive gas-powered turbines spun down across Texas and the lights went out, an aggressive narrative spun up: the electric grid failed in Texas, not because wind and solar failed, but due to a lack of regulatory power to force the electric industry – from natural gas producers to pipeline operators to power … [Read more...] about Chuck DeVore: Texas’ blackouts – here’s the truth about why they happened and what we have to do next

New owners giving 63-year-old Wheat Ridge shopping center “some love”
After losing a grocery store and a bowling alley in the last decade, a 63-year-old shopping center at a prominent Wheat Ridge corner is getting new life. Denver-based real estate firms Quannah Partners and Outpost Investments are in the process of renovating the 59,000-square-foot Paramount Heights Shopping Center at the corner of 26th Avenue and Kipling Street, after purchasing the property early last year. The center is being renamed Gold’s Marketplace, after the former Gold’s Corner Grocery, which operated in the shopping center from 1988 until 2014. “Wheat Ridge residents are proud and have fond memories of going to this center,” said Bobby Ghiselli, a partner with Quannah Partners. “There used to be an old donut shop where people would get served out of their own dedicated mug.

They … [Read more...] about New owners giving 63-year-old Wheat Ridge shopping center “some love”
