The head of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday investigators still do not know who worked on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 door plug involved in a Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines midair emergency and that video footage was overwritten.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said in a letter to senators that investigators sought security camera footage when the door plug was opened and closed in September but were informed the material was overwritten. "The absence of those records will complicate the NTSB’s investigation moving forward," Homendy said.

The NTSB said previously that four key bolts were missing from the door plug that blew out on the plane.

Last week, Homendy said she spoke to Boeing CEO David Calhoun "and asked for the names of the people who performed the work. He stated he was unable to provide that information and maintained that Boeing has no records of the work being performed."

Boeing did not immediately comment.

The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the mid-air emergency.

On Friday, Boeing said it believes required documents detailing the removal of the door plug during production were never created.

Boeing said its working hypothesis was "the documents required by our processes were not created when the door plug was opened."

Homendy last week criticized what she called Boeing's lack of cooperation and failure to disclose some documents, including on the door plug opening and closing, as well as the names of 25 workers on the door crew at the 737 factory in Renton, Washington. After Homendy's comments, Boeing provided the 25 names.

In the aftermath of the incident the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the MAX 9 for several weeks in January, barred Boeing from increasing the MAX production rate and ordered Boeing to develop a comprehensive plan to address "systemic quality-control issues" within 90 days.

Separately, the NTSB wrote Boeing on Wednesday reminding them they face restrictions on information they can release publicly as a party to the investigation.

"Releasing investigative information without context is misleading to Congress and the public and undermines both the investigation and the integrity of the NTSB," Homendy wrote.

American Express says customer data exposed in third-party breach

https://cybernews.com/news/american-express-hit-by-third-party-data-breach/

American Express (Amex) credit card holders may have had some of their account information exposed via a third party breach, the company has disclosed.

The financial services and credit card giant filed a breach notification letter as “a precautionary measure” with the Massachusetts State Attorney Generals Office on March 4th.

An American Express spokesperson told Cybernews the “incident was not caused by a data breach” at the company of any of its service providers.

The breach was the caused by “a point-of-sale attack at a merchant processor in which American Express Card member data was impacted,” they said.

It has been reported the merchant processor at the center of the hack is used by the American Express Travel Related Services Company, one of the entities under the company’s travel services division.

The Amex notification letter states that the account information of some Card Members “may have been involved,” including:

§  Your name

§  American Express Card account number

§  Expiration date

This applies to credit card account numbers that are currently active or were previously issued, which means some customers may receive more than one letter about the incident, the company said.

The breach notification letter states that Amex was informed by the third-party service provider – which is used by numerous merchants – that it had “experienced unauthorized access to its system” but did not provide any specific dates.

“A courtesy notice of this incident was provided to the Massachusetts regulators due to impacts to American Express Card members residing in Massachusetts,” the spokesperson said.

Amex addresses card holders

“Protecting the security of our Card Members’ information is very important to us and we strive to let you know about security concerns as soon as possible,” American Express said.

American Express Card Members will not be liable for fraudulent charges on their accounts, and the company will take protective actions if it sees any unusual activity on an account, the spokesperson told Cybernews.

“We have sophisticated monitoring systems and internal safeguards in place to help detect fraudulent and suspicious activity.”

Amex is recommending customer regularly review and monitor their account activity, and immediately contact Amex if they detect any suspicious activity.

“For added protection, customers can receive free fraud and account activity alerts via email, SMS text messaging, and/or notifications through our app,” the spokesperson added.

Headquartered in lower Manhattan, American Express provides multiple banking services, such as online checking and savings accounts, to personal loans, as well as corporate and luxury travel programs.

There are over 121 million Amex card holders worldwide, according to the latest research by Zippia, with more than 50% of those card holders in the United States.

Third-party service providers need to be held accountable

Liat Hayun, CEO and co-founder of Eureka Security highlighted to Cybernews that the Amex breach is “coming just weeks after similar incidents at Bank of America.”

“This incident likely stemming from unauthorized system access… underscores the critical need for organizations to hold their service providers accountable for data security,” Hayun said.

Mid-February, it was revealed that the data of more than 50,000 Bank of America customers was exposed from a third party breach of the American financial services Infosys McCamish Systems (IMS).

The IMS breach which took place last November was eventually claimed by the LockBit ransomware gang.

It was the second third-party breach for Bank of America in 2023 – BOA fell victim to the infamous MoveIT hacks when accounting giant Ernst & Young was hit by the Cl0p ransom group, exposing another 30,000 customers.

“Lessons from past breaches highlight the importance of robust access controls,” Hayun said.

“While mapping access points for sensitive data can be complex, it's a crucial security measure that organizations must prioritize in alignment with their overall business objectives and compliance requirements,” she said.

No, most people in Gaza are not ‘just like us’

Israel365News.com

GERALD STEINBERG  OPINION  MARCH 1, 2024  3 MIN READ


https://israel365news.com/387161/no-most-people-in-gaza-are-not-just-like-us/

According to the mantras of peace activists, the way to end wars—and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular—is by recognizing that the people on the other side are “just like us.” Students in university peace studies programs are taught that conflicts end by bringing individuals from opposing sides together, to discover shared values and overcome stereotypes about “the other.” Based on this seemingly indisputable truth, millions of dollars are provided every year for women’s reconciliation dialogues, summer peace camps and similar frameworks. 

The articles of faith are also passionately repeated by Western diplomats. Speaking to the Israeli public on Feb. 7, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that most people in Gaza “are just like our families…The overwhelming majority of the people in Gaza had nothing to do with Oct. 7. Their mothers and fathers want to earn a decent living, send their kids to school and have a normal life…We cannot, we must not lose sight of our common humanity.”

But is this belief reflected in reality? Is Palestinian society “just like” Israeli society, or is this a comforting but very dangerous illusion?

When Israelis look at the evidence from Gaza, we see that many supported the horrendous brutality in the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7. Large crowds in Gaza turned out to cheer the terrorists returning from their heinous spree of torture, murder, rape and kidnapping. When some Israeli hostages in Gaza were transferred to the International Red Cross after weeks of torture, mobs harassed and intimidated them. 

Long before Oct. 7, everyone living in Gaza (including United Nations Relief And Works Agency employees) knew that Hamas was stealing international aid to build a massive underground terror infrastructure that could be used to attack Israelis. Some of these “ordinary civilians” who saw the horrendous pogrom ran immediately to join in the looting. No Palestinian has expressed human empathy for the Israeli victims. But Secretary Blinken did not lecture Palestinians on the theme that Israelis are “just like” them. 

In the face of this overwhelming evidence, what leads Western liberals to cling to the myths of “common humanity” and a universal society?  One explanation is “mirror imaging,” which is a mindset that erases obvious and fundamental societal differences. This filter removes the disturbing fact that, in contrast to the majority of Israelis, many Palestinian mothers repeatedly encourage their children to become “martyrs” and express pride when they are killed while murdering and brutalizing Jews. No, they are not “just like us.”

Another major difference is cultural—particularly what professor Richard Landes calls “honor-shame cultures,” in which humiliation (such as defeat in an aggressive war) leads to unbounded determination to exact revenge. This is the essence of the Palestinian nakba—the ongoing humiliation of the Arab armies’ loss of the 1948 war. If Palestinians were “just like us,” they would instead examine their own shortcomings. In contrast to the Palestinian textbooks and those in many Arab countries, in which Jews and Israelis are depicted as monsters, Israeli children are not systematically raised on hate and incitement. The fundamental differences in our identities are deeply embedded in cultural values, taught to children from generation to generation. 

Another key difference is that for some groups (Christians and Muslims, in particular), affirmation of their identity and beliefs requires the conversion of others, often through coercion and humiliation. The Islamic world relegates Christians and Jews to second-class status (dhimmis). In contrast, Jews have nothing comparable—we are content to be “a nation that dwells alone” and a “light unto the nations,” neither of which leads to mass murder. 

At the same time, those who believe that people on the other side are “just like us” need different explanations for wars and terror. These include conspiracy theories that blame a small group of evil manipulators, often painted with classical antisemitic symbols, who gain power illicitly and create conflict. For example, instead of blaming Hamas and its allies for the Oct. 7 slaughter and the war that followed, the myth spinners refer to “Netanyahu’s war” against the presumably innocent civilians in Gaza. 

These illusions carry a very high cost. The “Oslo disaster” was the product of good intentions and myths, but instead of expected cooperation toward shared goals, Arafat and the Palestinians interpreted Israel’s decision to give up territory as weakness. Similarly, the hopes and illusions accompanying Israeli withdrawals from southern Lebanon in 2000—and from Gaza in 2005—quickly turned to dust. Even after the Hamas takeover and escalating attacks that followed, Israel’s leaders continued to avoid a full-force response, and this mistake culminated in the Oct. 7 slaughter. 

To avoid more disasters, Israelis must firmly reject the temptations of mirror imaging, “common humanity” and other messianic illusions. Instead, we need to return to the unfiltered political realism of Ben-Gurion, Begin, Meir and others. As long as the goal of the Palestinians, Iran and their allies is the elimination of Israel, sufficient military power must be available and displayed so that they understand that attacks on Israel will result in their own destruction. A strong and what might be falsely denounced as “disproportionate” deterrent force is the best option for survival.

Hopefully in the future, Palestinians and their allies will begin to view Israelis as “like us” enough to end generations of hate and terror. But until that happens, we cannot afford to entrust our survival to illusions and myths.

https://www.newsmax.com/us/cbs-catherine-herridge-hunter-biden/2024/02/22/id/1154657/?

CBS seized the confidential files, personal items, and laptop of investigative reporter Catherine Herridge, who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop scandal when she became one of hundreds laid off last week, the New York Post reported Thursday.

The Post was told by a source within CBS that the move was "unprecedented," adding that CBS informed Herridge what, if anything, would be returned to her.

Further, the documents seized might contain privileged conversations Herridge had with her lawyer and identities of confidential sources, according to the report. Herridge was in the middle of a First Amendment case, in which she refused to identify a source to a court.

"The timing of Herridge's termination immediately raised suspicions in Washington," legal scholar and professor Jonathan Turley wrote in an opinion piece for The Hill.

"She was pursuing stories that were unwelcomed by the Biden White House and many Democratic powerhouses, including the Hur report on Joe Biden's diminished mental capacity, the Biden corruption scandal, and the Hunter Biden laptop," Turley wrote. "She continued to pursue these stories despite reports of pushback from CBS executives, including CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews."

A CBS spokesperson told the Post that Herridges belongings will be returned to her soon.

"We have respected her request to not go through the files. And out of our concern for confidential sources, the office she occupied has remained secure since her departure," the spokesperson told the Post. "We are prepared to pack up the rest of her files immediately on her behalf — with her representative present as she requested."

Turley called the approach to her files "heavy-handed," adding it "left many wondering if it was the result of the past reported tension over stories."

"Regardless of motive, the company is dead wrong," he wrote.

SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents CBS staffers, also responded.

"This action is deeply concerning to the union because it sets a dangerous precedent for all media professionals and threatens the very foundation of the First Amendment," the union said in a statement to the Post.

Herridge previously worked for Fox News. And Fox, according to the Post, is paying for her legal counsel. It was at Fox News where she landed on a story in 2017, the saga of which continues.

Herridge's First Amendment fight involved defying "U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper's order to reveal how she learned about a federal probe into a Chinese American scientist who operated a graduate program in Virginia," according to the Post.

She could be fined up to $5,000 a day.

And, according to the Post's sources, CBS could be subpoenaed to reveal the identity of Herridge's source, which CBS could possibly have under guard in her old office.

In 1906, Luther Lee Blake founded the Standard Statistics Bureau, with the view to providing financial information on non-railroad companies. Instead of an annually published book, Standard Statistics would use 5-by-7-inch cards, allowing for more frequent updates.[4]

In 1941, Paul Talbot Babson purchased Poor's Publishing and merged it with Standard Statistics to become Standard & Poor's Corp. In 1966, the company was acquired by The McGraw-Hill Companies, extending McGraw-Hill into the field of financial information services.
