Nike prüft möglichen Cyberangriff
Eine Ransomware-Bande behauptet, Daten von Nike erbeutet zu haben. Das Unternehmen untersucht den Vorfall. Angeblich wurden auch Designprototypen gestohlen.
It's a whole lot of "We don't know" at this point. But, if you live in the I-95 corridor, especially beginning in the Carolinas and points north, I would make those weekend plans tentative. It's possible this system heads out to sea instead of going up the Eastern Seaboard. But, whatever this system does, it will start doing it Friday.
Another winter storm this weekend? Cold, snow, rain in early forecast. #USWx #US #Weather #Snow #News

It has gotten to a point that some news services are automatically fact-checking every Trump statement, as he speaks.]

#Hackster round-up time, and I'm going to break with tradition and post these out of order - so that I can highlight my very favourite, a look at Piotr Grzesik's M8SBC-486.
It's a motherboard for an Intel i486 or compatible. But... scratch-built. Chipset delivered via #FPGA, two ISA slots, it's capable of running DOS, Windows 3.x (though mouse support is a work-in-progress), Doom... Yeah. Wow.
