Hewlett Packard Enterprise reveals hack by Russian state actor

Tech firm Hewlett Packard Enterprise says its cloud-based email systems were breached by the same Russian hacking group that compromised some Microsoft email accounts earlier this month.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, also known as HPE, revealed the breach in a securities filing last week. The incident took place on December 12, 2023, and affected a small percentage of HPE mailboxes belonging to individuals in our cybersecurity, go-to-market, business segments, and other functions, the company said.
The Company, with assistance from external cybersecurity experts, immediately activated our response process to investigate, contain, and remediate the incident, eradicating the activity, HPE said in the filing.
HPE said in the filing it suspects a group sometimes referred to as Midnight Blizzard was responsible for last months attack.
The hacking group, which US officials and private experts say has links to Russias foreign intelligence service, has gained a reputation as one of the stealthiest and most advanced cyber espionage groups in the world. Private analysts have referred to the group as Midnight Blizzard or as part of a group known as APT29, among other names.

Night Mode not working correctly during Jury Duty
This has happened to me several times. I like Night Mode for DU but for some reason the text doesn't change color during jury duty for me. Text and background will display the same color so I have to highlight it in order to read it.
Anyone else having this issue or know a workaround?

Earthquake felt in D.C. suburbs, startling residents
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/01/02/earthquake-maryland-shaking-tuesday-felt/
A small earthquake occurred near Rockville, Md., early Tuesday, and within an hour, hundreds of people in Marylands suburbs reported hearing or feeling it, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The 2.3-magnitude quake, according to initial estimates, occurred a few minutes before 1 a.m. at a depth of about 9.5 miles and an approximate distance of 1.8 miles west of Rockville.
A quake of that magnitude is regarded as minor and very weak.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury, but the quake occurred at a time when many people were asleep. Most accounts of experiencing the quake came from Montgomery County, where Rockville is located.
Reports told of shaking, of the kind caused by a heavy truck passing by. Others emphasized the sound, likening it to a kind of growling or low roar.
A Silver Spring resident told The Washington Post of hearing a distinctive rumble that lasted 10 or 15 seconds.

In the graphs, black is for adults, orange-brown is for under 18.
Regardless of politics, there is no denying violent crime has gotten worse in my city. I've lived in the middle of the district and inside the beltway in VA and MD for the last 16 years. After 8 years in downtown DC I moved to Arlington last spring because of the shootings, carjackings, break-ins, and sirens at all hours. It is undeniably worse now than when I moved from MD to DC 8 years ago.
2023 was District's deadliest year in more than two decades

The city recorded 40 homicides per 100,000 residents, with victims in every ward, from babies to the elderly
The nations capital recorded more homicides in 2023 than in any year since 1997, giving the District the fifth-highest murder rate among the nations biggest cities.
The 274 confirmed victims ranged from infants to octogenarians. They were killed in homes, in Metro stations and in motor vehicles; they were killed in alleys, in school zones and in public parks. They were slain on streets by acquaintances and strangers and in the crossfire of warring neighborhood crews, in double shootings and triple shootings. They died in the dark and the dawn and under the midday sun in all parts of Washington, from its poorest precincts to its busiest commercial and nightlife areas.
To illustrate the human dimension of the violence, The Washington Post compiled a comprehensive list of the casualties a month-by-month tally of who the victims were, how they died and where while also examining the broader trends of the citys 2023 homicide crisis.
The loss of lives in the year just ended, including the killings of 19 children and young teenagers, plunged families and communities into grief and ignited a local political crisis that escalated to the halls of Congress. Federal officials questioned whether D.C. leaders were equipped to prevent the District from regressing to the social dysfunction and near municipal collapse of the late 20th century, when the city, overwhelmed by crack-fueled bloodshed, became known as Americas murder capital.
Its been a tough year, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said in an interview. There is no doubt about that.
With a rate of 40 homicides per 100,000 residents, the District was deadlier than 55 of the countrys 60 most populous cities, behind only New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore and Memphis. While homicides surged in Washington, they decreased in many other metropolises, including New York and Chicago.
