Lynnfield teacher fired due to ‘alleged hate based ideologies’

“This information and behavior is not aligned with our values as a school community,” Lynnfield Public Schools Superintendent Tom Geary wrote. A substitute math teacher working at Lynnfield High School was fired Monday due to his “alleged connection to hate based ideologies,” school officials said. Lynnfield Public Schools Superintendent Tom Geary wrote in a letter to families Monday that “Mr. Reihner” was fired after the district became aware of the allegations Sunday night.  “This information and behavior is not aligned with our values as a school community,” Geary wrote. “In an abundance of caution, we have school counselors available who are reaching out to potentially impacted students, and we have a strong police presence at the high school today. Providing a safe learning environment for every student and staff member will always be our top priority.”

Students adapt Meta’s smart glasses to dox strangers in real time

Two Harvard students created facial recognition glasses using tools that are readily available and then demonstrated them on strangers in Boston. They created them to prove the privacy risks of smart glasses. Two students have made a pair of smart glasses with facial recognition technology to discover the private information of strangers. In a video demonstration, one of the Harvard students is shown using the technology to quickly discover details about the woman sitting near him at a train station in Boston. “Wait, are you Betsy?” he asks her. Betsy is a complete stranger and he hasn’t heard of her until seconds before. “I think I met you through the Cambridge Community Foundation, right?” She smiles, stands up to greet him and shakes his hand. AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio made the demonstration to show how easily smart glasses can be used maliciously. “Are we ready for a world where our data is exposed at a glance?” Mr Nguyen asked in a post on X. Mr Nguyen, who studies human augmentation, and Mr Ardayfio, who studies physics, created the facial recognition glasses using tools that are readily available on the market. They used a pair of Meta’s smart Ray Bans and streamed its live recordings to a computer, where AI was used to spot when the glasses were looking at a face. Using that first, live picture, the computer looked up more pictures of the person and then scoured voter registration databases and news articles.

Pakistani Immigrant With Signs of Torture Found Dead in a Greek Police Station

By Yegor Halva, Contributor September 30, 2024 Athens, Greece – Muhammad Kamran Ashiq, a 38-year-old Pakistani immigrant, was found dead at the Agios Panteleimonas Police Station in central Athens, indicating another case of racist police brutality in Greece. Missing since September 13, Ashiq was found dead on September 21. Publicly released photographs revealed multiple abrasions and bruises on his body, strongly suggesting torture. According to his lawyer, Mrs. Spetsou, the injuries had been inflicted in a period between four hours and five days before his death. A report from an independent medical examiner is expected to clarify further the cause and timing of his injuries soon. Documents released by the Ashiq family’s attorney show that Muhammad was first taken to the Omonia Police Station on September 13 and transferred to five other police stations before his death. He was also taken to the Evelpidon central courts of Athens, but was not allowed contact with any attorney or his family during his detention. This prolonged period of isolation adds more suspicion and uncertainty to the circumstances surrounding his death. Muhammad had lived in Greece since 2005, spoke fluent Greek, had a residence permit since 2017, working legally and renting a house in his own name. However, in stark contrast to these facts, the police report depicted Muhammad as a homeless drug addict who didn’t speak any Greek. Moreover, police claimed that he had supposedly already been beaten up by others before being detained at the Agios Panteleimon Police Station. The event report failed to mention the exact time, location, or reason for his detention, raising further questions about the transparency of the process.

Trump campaign hands out signs with white supremacist slogan at rally

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign distributed signs with a phrase often used by white supremacists. Before Trump spoke in Saginaw, Michigan, Thursday, campaign staff could be seen handing out pre-printed signs with the words “Reclaim America.” “You’ve got to put on a great show today, and the president will recognize your efforts,” Michigan GOP Chair Pete Hoekstra said as the signs were distributed. As CNN noted, white supremacist members of the Patriot Front recently carried a banner with the same slogan while shouting “Sieg Heil” and “Deportation saves the nation” at a rally in Nashville.

U.S. and Microsoft seize dozens of domains tied to Russian hacking group

U.S. authorities have seized dozens of internet domains used by Russian intelligence agents and their proxies to steal valuable information from U.S. government computers and email accounts, the Department of Justice revealed Thursday.  In a warrant unsealed this week, the department accused the “Callisto Group,” a unit under Russia’s FSB security service, of orchestrating an “ongoing and sophisticated spear phishing campaign” aimed at gaining unauthorized access to the computers and email accounts of victims. The warrant alleged that Russian-directed cybercriminals pilfered “valuable information and sensitive United States government intelligence.” Targets included former U.S. intelligence employees, former and current Department of Defense personnel, Department of State employees, Department of Energy staff, U.S. military contractors and U.S.-based companies.  The Justice Department seized 41 internet domains and coordinated the takedowns with tech giant Microsoft, which seized an additional 66 unique domains operated by the same group.
