New legislation just signed into law on Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom will significantly advance the development of an offshore wind power industry on the West Coast, especially in Humboldt County, say developers of a proposed local project and the area’s Community Choice Aggregator (CCA). The legislation, AB 525, which was approved nearly unanimously by the California Legislature earlier this month, directs California state agencies to develop a strategic plan to facilitate the development of offshore wind on a large scale over the next two decades. California law states that, by 2045, 100 percent of electricity consumed in California must come from carbon-free sources. One study has suggested offshore wind has the potential to generate electricity in an amount equal to 150 percent… Source link

Old sometimes is not gold, especially when it comes to ancient versions of ColdFusion running on versions of Windows that have reached their end-of-life, as the global security firm Sophos has demonstrated through its research into a server that was taken over by unknown actors using the Cring ransomware. Andrew Brandt, principal researcher at SophosLabs, said the recent findings — no time element was given — had shown that Adobe ColdFusion 9 — which is 11 years old — and Windows Server 2008 — which was declared end-of-life for the Web-application development platform in 2016 — were running on the server that served as an entry point. Several other machines were also hit with the same ransomware and made inaccessible, but the box running ColdFusion was partially… Source link

OXFORD, United Kingdom, Sept. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, has published research, “Cring Ransomware Exploits Ancient ColdFusion Server,” describing a sophisticated attack the Cring ransomware operators mounted against a target after hacking a server running an unpatched, 11-year-old version of Adobe’s ColdFusion 9 software. The target used the server to collect timesheet and accounting data for payroll and to host multiple virtual machines. The attackers breached the internet-facing server in minutes and executed the ransomware 79 hours later. “Devices running vulnerable, outdated software are low-hanging-fruit for cyberattackers looking for an easy way into a target,” said Andrew Brandt, principal researcher at… Source link
