Salmon Rushdie was attacked onstage at the centuries old Chautauqua Institution in Western New York. In the Eastern District of NY, a disgruntled litigant, rebuffed in his request to see his magistrate judge, attacked a marshall in the courthouse elevator. The FBI executed a search warrant at the former Winter White House in Mar-a-Lago. Phishers are using the phone numbers of targets’ families(successfully) at security savvy Cloudflare.

Baron, former director of litigation for NARA and two cyber lawyers, the Dever brothers on Presidential Records, the Federal Records Act and the Secret Service, DHS and DOD’s lost texts.

The FTC has started the rule making process on collection and monetization of personal data. Tornado Cash, a crypto mixer designed to obscure the source and movement of funds, was sanctioned by the US Treasury, with the crypto community watching intently. The Markup identified 37 companies gathering up data from automobiles. And hat tip to photographer, videographer and blogger, Chris Dale, who pointed to methods to authenticate old photographs.
