If the US government had its way, the Court says, the law "would attach criminal penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity," such as sending a personal email or reading the news on a work computer. More here: https://t.co/xd0oBonQ0H — PolitiTweet.org

There's a bit of a weird dynamic here. On one hand, this decision tacitly permits law enforcement to abuse their power / access to resources. On the other hand, it constrains the government's ability to prosecute misconduct that stops short of breaking into a computer. — PolitiTweet.org

The FBI has attributed the JBS cyberattack to REvil and issued this statement, per CNN’s @NatashaBertrand: “We continue to focus our efforts on imposing risk and consequences and holding the responsible cyber actors accountable. A cyber attack on one is an attack on us all.” — PolitiTweet.org

Basically, CrowdStrike is saying that to the extent REvil *may be* involved, the security firm has previously linked that malware to Pinchy Spider — not that the JBS hack was the work of Pinchy Spider. — PolitiTweet.org

I checked with CrowdStrike directly, and what I’m told is that there was a miscommunication involving their PR agency. CrowdStrike is commenting on other public reports claiming REvil’s involvement, not making a statement of attribution. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier today I got an email from a PR agency repping CrowdStrike that made it sound like the cybersecurity firm was publicly attributing the JBS hack to a Russian group it calls Pinchy Spider. In case it’s helpful to other reporters: It turns out that that is NOT the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Some JBS workers may gain an extra Saturday shift following the cyberattack. But by then, the damage will have been done, and the extra shift will also disrupt family schedules, Gutierres told me. https://t.co/IDNA33mF2I — PolitiTweet.org

The human cost of the JBS hack: Erika Gutierres works at a beef plant in Texas. The disruption forced her to fall behind on rent, babysitting and gas. "It sounds, like, so small — 'It's two days off, get some rest.' But to me, it's the end of the world." https://t.co/IDNA33mF2I — PolitiTweet.org
