BREAKING NEWS: State Department inspector general fired

Posted: 15 May 2020 07:00 PM PDT

State Department Inspector General Steve Linick has been fired, according to a senior administration official and a congressional aide.

Linick, a Justice Department veteran appointed to the role in 2013 by then President Barack Obama, is the latest of a slew of inspectors general to be ousted in recent months.

He played a minor role in the House of Representatives' impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, ferrying a trove of documents to lawmakers that had been provided to the State Department by Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal lawyer.

The State Department did not immediately respond to a request to explain why Linick had been fired.

Scanning TLS Server Configurations With Burp Suite

Posted: 15 May 2020 06:55 PM PDT

In this post, we present our new Burp Suite extension "TLS-Attacker".
Using this extension penetration testers and security researchers can assess the security of TLS server configurations directly from within Burp Suite.
The extension is based on the TLS-Attacker framework and the TLS-Scanner, both of which are developed by the Chair for Network and Data Security.

You can find the latest release of our extension at: https://github.com/RUB-NDS/TLS-Attacker-BurpExtension/releases

TLS-Scanner

Thanks to the seamless integration of the TLS-Scanner into the BurpSuite, the penetration tester only needs to configure a single parameter: the host to be scanned.  After clicking the Scan button, the extension runs the default checks and responds with a report that allows penetration testers to quickly determine potential issues in the server's TLS configuration.  Basic tests check the supported cipher suites and protocol versions.  In addition, several known attacks on TLS are automatically evaluated, including Bleichenbacher's attack, Padding Oracles, and Invalid Curve attacks.

Furthermore, the extension allows fine-tuning for the configuration of the underlying TLS-Scanner.  The two parameters parallelProbes and overallThreads can be used to improve the scan performance (at the cost of increased network load and resource usage).

It is also possible to configure the granularity of the scan using Scan Detail and Danger Level. The level of detail contained in the returned scan report can also be controlled using the Report Detail setting.

Please refer to the GitHub repositories linked above for further details on configuration and usage of TLS-Scanner.

Scan History 

If several hosts are scanned, the Scan History tab keeps track of the preformed scans and is a useful tool when comparing the results of subsequent scans.

Additional functions will follow in later versions

Currently, we are working on integrating an at-a-glance rating mechanism to allow for easily estimating the security of a scanned host's TLS configuration.

This is a combined work of Nurullah Erinola, Nils Engelbertz, David Herring, Juraj Somorovsky, Vladislav Mladenov, and Robert Merget.  The research was supported by the European Commission through the FutureTrust project (grant 700542-Future-Trust-H2020-DS-2015-1).

If you would like to learn more about TLS, Juraj and Robert will give a TLS Training at Ruhrsec on the 27th of May 2019. There are still a few seats left.

BREAKING NEWS: House approves $3 trillion coronavirus relief package

Posted: 15 May 2020 06:31 PM PDT

The House passed a $3 trillion coronavirus relief package that would deliver federal aid for state and local governments, provide rent and mortgage relief and expand unemployment and food assistance programs.

The massive aid package was approved mostly along party lines with only a handful of Republicans joining most Democrats in backing the legislation.

The GOP-controlled Senate is not expected to take up the measure.

HOW TO HACK A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT? STEP BY STEP

Posted: 15 May 2020 04:24 PM PDT

Phishing is the way to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details or any other confidential information, often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Phishing is typically carried out by several ways like email spoofing or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter personal information at a fake website, the look and feel of which are almost identical to the legitimate one. In this tutorial, I will be showing how to hack a facebook account through phishing.

SO, HOW TO HACK A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT?

There are few techniques by which you can hack a facebook account but here the easiest way we'll discuss.

REQUIREMENTS

  1. Phisher Creator ( Fake page generator)
  2. Hosting ( To host a fake page). Either you can purchase one or also can use free hosting like 110mb.com. But in free hosting, the account will be suspended after a few logins.

STEPS TO FOLLOW

  1. Download phisher creator and run it.
  2. As you run it, you'll see a screen like the shown below. Here you can type the fields as I have done. 
  3. Once you hit the Create Phisher button, it'll create a fake facebook index page and fb_login.php file in the output folder.
  4. Now you need to upload these both files index.html and fb_login.php to the hosting account.
  5. After uploading the file, open the index.html file path. It will open up a page like same facebook page as you can see below.
  6. We're all done, now we just need to copy the URL of our fake page and distribute it to the victims, you just have to trick them with your social engineering that how you convenience them to open this URL to login facebook. Once someone tries to login through your fake facebook page URL, you'll get their account username and password in the log_file.txt in the same directory of hosting where you have uploaded index.php and fb_login.php.
Hope it'll work fine for you and you have learned how to hack a facebook account. If you find any question or query related to this, feel free to comment below or you can also follow another way that might work well for you to hack facebook account.

‘Manipulative, deceitful, user’: Tara Reade left a trail of aggrieved acquaintances

Posted: 15 May 2020 03:12 PM PDT

Over the past decade, Tara Reade, who has accused former Vice President Joe Biden of sexual assault, has left a trail of aggrieved acquaintances in California's Central Coast region who say they remember two things about her — she spoke favorably about her time working for Biden, and she left them feeling duped.

As part of an investigation into Reade's allegations against Biden, POLITICO interviewed more than a dozen people, many of whom interacted with Reade through her involvement in the animal-rescue community. A number of those in close contact with Reade over the past 12 years laid out a familiar pattern: Reade ingratiated herself, explained she was down on her luck and needed help, and eventually took advantage of their goodwill to extract money, skip rent payments or walk out on other bills.

‘Controlled’ infections

Posted: 15 May 2020 03:04 PM PDT

Evening Briefing
Bloomberg

A group of U.S. East Coast states is coordinating the opening of beaches for Memorial Day weekend. Italy had the fewest new coronavirus cases in four days while the German economy shrank the most in more than a decade. Abbott Laboratories fell after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said its Covid-19 test has potential accuracy issues, and British American Tobacco said it will begin testing an experimental vaccine in humans. The financial cost of the global crisis could reach $8.8 trillion, but the higher cost—the one in lives—already stands at 306,000, with 4.5 million infected and 1.6 million recovered. Here is the latest on the pandemic.David E. Rovella

Bloomberg is mapping the pandemic globally and across America. For the latest news, sign up for our Covid-19 podcast and daily newsletter.

Here are today's top stories

New York, the planetary epicenter of the catastrophe with 27,000 dead, telegraphed the beginning of a new phase for the state. Governor Andrew Cuomo said he expects a "controlled" increase in coronavirus cases as some of the Empire State's regions lift restrictions. New York City and its eastern suburbs however will remain shut for two more weeks. Across the rest of America, some restrictions are being lifted as infections continue to rise, moves that experts warn will have horrific consequences for a nation that has already suffered 1.4 million infections and 87,000 deaths.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is planning "a number of significant" hires in preparation for the general election. The campaign is also expected to roll out a new website and live-streaming platform for the presumptive Democratic Party nominee in his bid to unseat President Donald Trump.

Millions of Americans owed tens of billions of dollars in unemployment benefits are still waiting for help they were promised months ago. States continue to struggle with outdated systems amid a surge that has seen 36.5 million people, about one in five American workers, file for unemployment since mid-March.

The Fed issued a stark warning Friday that stock and other asset prices could suffer significant declines should the pandemic deepen, with the commercial real estate market among the hardest-hit.

A little-noticed provision in the bailout bill Congress passed in March is being exploited by fossil fuel firms, allowing them to rake in millions of taxpayer dollars. "This is a stealth bailout for the oil and gas industry," says one watchdog group.

China contends that it didn't know until Jan. 19 how infectious the new coronavirus is, attempting to push back against accusations that it intentionally withheld information about the severity of the outbreak.

Face masks, gloves, disinfectants, plexiglass, temperature checks and yes, even longer lines. Get ready for the airport, pandemic-style. Says one airport CEO: "The whole travel experience will be as enjoyable as open-heart surgery."

Today's Agenda

Essential workers in a shaky food supply.

Some Things Have to Change Around Here

Not long after the Sept. 11 attacks, Warren Buffett wrote the classic line, "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out." In the current crisis, which is kind of like a 9/11 that never ends, we're learning the entire country was naked.

That we weren't ready for a pandemic was obvious. We're still scrambling for adequate medical supplies and testing equipment. But there are other weaknesses making this disaster worse than it had to be:

Nursing homes have been a particularly nasty vector of coronavirus spread, an indirect result of how poorly their workers are paid, writes Bloomberg's editorial board. Many work in multiple homes to make ends meet, helping spread the disease. These people need better pay and health benefits so they can stay in one place and take time off when necessary.

The disease has also exposed the vulnerability of America's food supply, notes Amanda Little. It's too centralized and inflexible, so when the disease hit we suddenly had millions of unemployed people clamoring for food, even as tons of it was being destroyed. There's got to be a better way, and it could start with a new Department of Food Security.

Global supply chains, meanwhile, have gone from a big benefit to American industry to a huge problem as factories shut down around the world. To avoid shortages in future calamities, U.S. manufacturing will increasingly come back home — or at least to Mexico, writes Brooke Sutherland. Unfortunately, much of it will be done by robots.

A universal basic income could help American workers get over the whole robots-taking-jobs thing. And this pandemic has made UBI suddenly look much more reasonable, write Tyler Cowen and Garry Kasparov. But the U.S. still needs more-productive economic growth to help pay for it first.

More-productive schooling might help with that. Tweens and teenagers are on to something when they complain about sitting in a classroom all day. All the remote-learning we're suddenly doing hints at a future of education that is more flexible and active, writes Andreas Kluth. We just have to make sure it also benefits all students equally, another problem this crisis has exposed.

It's hard to call big cities a national weakness, but their density may have helped spread Covid-19. They now have to calculate how to carve out more space to let people shop, eat and commute safely, writes Chris Bryant. Oh, and keep out all the extra cars people will suddenly be driving.

One of Elon Musk's solutions to that last problem is tunnels for carrying Teslas instead of trains, for "individualized mass transit." Sounds like you just invented the subway, but vastly slower and more expensive! Maybe another of our big pre-Covid weaknesses was paying too much attention to Musk and other Silicon Valley blowhards, writes Tim O'Brien. Somebody like Buffett may offer a better model. He's at least more quotable.

Corporate Coronavirus Complaints

We just wrapped up a few weeks of corporate-earnings reports during the worst quarter for the economy since the Great Depression. In the Before Times, earnings calls were just chances to mock suck-ups who say "Great quarter, guys!" Now they may be windows into the uncertain future of the economy. Beth Williams rounds up a cast of Bloomberg Opinion thousands — including Brian Chappatta, Liam Denning, Andrea Felsted, Tae Kim, Tara Lachapelle, Max Nisen and Brooke Sutherland — to talk about what they learned during this quarter's calls.

One very important company playing it close to the vest is Apple Inc. The maker of that thing you're constantly staring at in your hand declined last month to offer a forecast for the June quarter, rattling investors. But one of its top suppliers, Foxconn Technology Group, did make a prediction, writes Tim Culpan. It ain't pretty.

Further Corporate Tea-Leaf Reading: Coronavirus or no, Toyota is still spending a bunch of money on the future. — Anjani Trivedi

Pandemics: The More You Know

As America stumbles headlong into reopening businesses and beaches across the country, we can at least take some comfort in knowing we've learned a bit more about the relative riskiness of various activities. We are not so likely to catch coronavirus from chance encounters in grocery stores or on jogging paths, writes Faye Flam, while prolonged exposure in enclosed spaces is much riskier. Govern your paranoia levels accordingly.

Because we can't stand not to know what happens next, many of us will be staring at computer models purporting to tell us the shape of outbreaks across the country. Some of these are much less useful than others, notes Cathy O'Neil. White House adviser Kevin Hassett used a model to predict U.S. virus deaths would fall to zero by today, for example. Spoiler alert: No. Cathy offers a helpful field guide to some better models.

Telltale Charts

As much as China bickers with major trading partners, the flow of business and people never stops, writes David Fickling.

Oil's not negative anymore, but futures prices shouldn't encourage frackers to start willy-nilly pumping the stuff again, writes Liam Denning.

Further Reading

No, the New Deal didn't make the Depression worse, as a long-debunked revisionist theory alleges. — Noah Smith

Are we sure President Donald Trump wants to be re-elected? Because he seems to have surrendered to the pandemic. — Jonathan Bernstein

Coronavirus Ireland Live Updates: Taoiseach to make announcement on easing of lockdown restrictions this afternoon

Posted: 15 May 2020 08:51 AM PDT

15 May 2020

Welcome to the evening edition of the Daily Digest,

It's going to be another busy Friday evening, with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announcing changes to the plans for phase one of the gradual reopening of the country. There's growing confusion as the famous roadmap gets revised along the way.

Here's a selection of the best Covid-19 coverage you can trust from Independent.ie, Ireland and across the world.


Fionnán Sheahan,
Ireland Editor 


Hardware not homeware

Hardware stores will open but homeware stores won't. Confused? We don't blame you, as so are the retailers who were all set to welcome back their customers on Monday morning in phase one of the opening of the lockdown. And that means no trips to Ikea for either furniture or meatballs.


Facemask fiasco

Our country is behind the curve when it comes to recommending everyone wears facemasks while shopping and using public transport. Ahead of a likely move in this direction, Andrew Lynch examines the rationale and asks which masks work best. (Premium)


Tipped to return

It was the last major sport to shut down, with a few meets still taking place at empty tracks. Now horseracing will be one of the first to return, albeit behind closed doors. Racing will be back on June 8, three weeks earlier than previously planned after the authorities successfully lobbied the Government.


Frontline lessons

The lessons of previous crises are that scenario planning can show the prior actions which will work and help prepare for the unexpected. In an editorial in 'Science' magazine, Marcia McNutt points to the benefits of long-term initiatives in the short-term handling of an immediate crisis.


Cuckoos fly

The cuckoos haven't gone away. Despite the downturn in the economy associated with the coronavirus and a 20pc anticipated fall in house prices, housebuilder Cairn Homes said there's still keen interest from institutional investors – so-called cuckoo funds – for homes to lease.


Keep your head up

Ah sure, it'll be grand. The attitude is unique to Ireland and Dan O'Brien finds it refreshing. He says there are reasons to be cheerful amidst the gloom of the economic crisis, as he examines the high levels of optimism in this country shown in this week's Europe-wide survey. (Premium)


The new Brexit

Brexit was supposed to dominate Europe this decade. Instead, the Covid-19 response is causing divisions. From a backlash against green policies to the return of border controls, Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, argues the accelerating tensions could unravel the EU.

Laochra Gaeil

Dr. Ron Paul Warning: Watch this before you cast your mail-in ballot

Posted: 15 May 2020 08:41 AM PDT

The following is a message from one of our advertisers. This message does not represent the opinion of The Washington Times.


Untitled Document

Dear Reader,

Ron Paul here, with an urgent warning before you mail in your 2020 Presidential Primary ballot.

Because if you cast your vote before watching an important documentary I was interviewed in, you might make a massive mistake.

One that will cost you not just your wealth… but also your freedom.

I served in Congress for more than 20 years, and never before have I seen such danger in America as I do today.

When I left Congress in 2012, I warned that big government, fiat money, ignoring liberty, central economic planning, welfarism, and warfarism caused our prior crisis.

And that if folks in Washington didn't wake up and realize it, then we could expect an even more dangerous crisis in the future.

Today, that's exactly the world we face.

The consequences will be severe.

As I recently warned in a documentary film that's already been watched by more than 1 million Americans, it could ultimately mean the total disintegration of society.

And it won't matter who you vote for this fall.

Because, philosophically, all the 2020 candidates believe the same way on the big issues – whether it's war, money, deficits, welfare, the military industrial complex, or the Federal Reserve…

Obviously they all agree on spending money.

If you believe, as I do, that the current folks in Washington D.C. are playing with fire – then I urge you to act today.

And if you're concerned about the direction of our nation, we have bad news. It's going to get much, much worse.

Many Americans face disaster in the coming years. What will happen when vast swathes of the nation can't afford the next month's rent… gas for their car… or food for their children?

When you learn more here, you'll soon understand why the 2020 election will turn into a national nightmare.

The good news is that there are a few simple things you can do to protect yourself and your family.

I'm working with my friends P.J. O'Rourke and Buck Sexton to spread this urgent warning about the coming crisis that could impact every American retiree's hard-earned savings.

Their free American Consequences magazine predicted President Donald Trump's impeachment before it happened last year and his ultimate acquittal… the rise in tension in Iran… the ups and downs in the stock market… and they even reported on the coronavirus in China months before most American media, in a piece titled quite appropriately "Why politicians are lying to you about coronavirus."

And what they predict about the 2020 election is even more surprising.

To be one of the first to know what's coming later this year… click here.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ron Paul

12-term Congressman and author of End the Fed

Friday Morning Briefing: Entering the Baltic travel bubble

Posted: 15 May 2020 05:17 AM PDT

What you need to know about the coronavirus today

Entering the Baltic Travel Bubble

The Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia opened their borders to each other at the stroke of midnight, creating Europe's first "travel bubble".

The idea is that neighboring countries with similar results in tackling the pandemic allow free movement between them. New Zealand and Australia discussed a similar "Trans-Tasman bubble" earlier this month, but have not yet set a date for its start.

"The Baltic Travel Bubble is an opportunity for businesses to reopen, and a glimmer of hope for the people that life is getting back to normal," Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said. Full border-free movement within Europe is unlikely to resume until next month at the earliest.

Queues in the airport ...

Anyone worried about the difficulty of maintaining social distancing when travel does begin again, has good reason, judging by the queues at Jakarta's airport on Thursday.

Photographs posted on social media days after the partial resumption of operations showed passengers queuing cheek by jowl in snaking lines to enter the airport and crowding inside it.

State airport operator Angkasa Pura said lines had thinned by afternoon and efforts were underway to ensure physical distancing. Travelers are required to provide a clean bill of health, and a letter from their employer stating the purpose of travel to be able to board an airplane.

...and the office

Not removing your face mask even indoors, casual dress codes and awkwardness over accepting handshakes are characterising the new normal as financial professionals start returning to the office in Hong Kong.
But above all there are the queues, as social distancing affects everything from taking the lift to grabbing a coffee.

"It's refreshing to come back to the office, but with so many restrictions, I now wouldn't mind working from home once in a while," said one of a group of bankers who gave up on a team coffee and returned to the office after waiting for a table.

In Wuhan, more testing times

Residents stood in pouring rain in queues of more than an hour to be tested for the novel coronavirus in Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the global pandemic began last year.

State media reported the city of 11 million tested over 3 million residents since April, and will now focus its testing efforts on the rest, prioritizing those who have not been tested before, people living in residential compounds that had previous cases of the virus, as well as old or densely populated estates.

Wuhan has conducted 1.79 million tests from April 1 to May 13, according to Reuters calculations based on daily reports published by the city's health commission.

Reuters reporters and editors around the world are investigating the response to the coronavirus pandemic.

We need your help to tell these stories. Our news organization wants to capture the full scope of what’s happening and how we got here by drawing on a wide variety of sources. Here’s a look at our coverage.

Are you a government employee or contractor involved in coronavirus testing or the wider public health response? Are you a doctor, nurse or health worker caring for patients? Have you worked on similar outbreaks in the past? Has the disease known as COVID-19 personally affected you or your family? Are you aware of new problems that are about to emerge, such as critical supply shortages?

Life under lockdown

Lying in rows of cots in a small hotel on the outskirts of Kiev, 51 babies born to surrogate mothers are stranded in Ukraine as the coronavirus lockdown is preventing parents from the United States, Europe and elsewhere from collecting them. Ukraine imposed a ban on foreigners entering in March, and most parents have only seen their newborns through pictures and video calls with the clinic.

Since Venezuela went into its coronavirus lockdown, dozens of needy people have been lining up at a slaughterhouse in the western town of San Cristobal to pick up the only protein they can find for free: cattle blood. Mechanic Aleyair Romero, 20, goes twice a week. He lost his job at a local garage and says boxes of subsidized food from the government of President Nicolas Maduro arrive too slowly.

For Yerbin Estrada, the worst part of the day is when the sun begins to set. The hundreds of inmates of La Esperanza prison in central Honduras must leave its small courtyard and file back to their cramped cells. “That is when the hell really begins,” said the powerfully built and bearded 25-year-old, glancing a final time at the armed guards perched on the rooftop, silhouetted against the dimming sky.

Muslim-majority Malaysia will ease a ban on mass prayers in mosques, starting from Friday and ahead of this month’s Eid festival, the government said, as it gradually relaxes curbs that have helped rein in the coronavirus. The news follows last week’s reopening of many businesses in Malaysia, which has a tally of 6,819 infections and 112 deaths. It comes ahead of the Eid holiday that ends the fasting month of Ramadan, and falls on May 24 this year.

How To Build A "Burner Device" For DEF CON In One Easy Step

Posted: 15 May 2020 04:05 AM PDT

TL;DR: Don't build a burner device. Probably this is not the risk you are looking for.

Introduction

Every year before DEF CON people starts to give advice to attendees to bring "burner devices" to DEF CON. Some people also start to create long lists on how to build burner devices, especially laptops. But the deeper we look into the topic, the more confusing it gets. Why are we doing this? Why are we recommending this? Are we focusing on the right things?

What is a "burner device" used for?

For starters, the whole "burner device" concept is totally misunderstood, even within the ITSEC community. A "burner device" is used for non-attribution. You know, for example, you are a spy and you don't want the country where you live to know that you are communicating with someone else. I believe this is not the situation for most attendees at DEF CON. More info about the meaning of "burner" https://twitter.com/Viss/status/877400669669306369

Burner phone means it has a throwaway SIM card with a throwaway phone, used for one specific operation only. You don't use the "burner device" to log in to your e-mail account or to VPN to your work or home.
But let's forget this word misuse issue for a moment, and focus on the real problem.

The bad advice

The Internet is full of articles focusing on the wrong things, especially when it comes to "burner devices". Like how to build a burner laptop, without explaining why you need it or how to use it.
The problem with this approach is that people end up "burning" (lame wordplay, sorry) significant resources for building a secure "burner device". But people are not educated about how they should use these devices.

The threats

I believe the followings are some real threats which are higher when you travel:
1. The laptop getting lost or stolen.
2. The laptop getting inspected/copied at the border.

These two risks have nothing to do with DEF CON, this is true for every travel.

Some other risks which are usually mentioned when it comes to "burner devices" and DEF CON:
3. Device getting owned via physical access while in a hotel room.
4. Network traffic Man-in-the-middle attacked. Your password displayed on a Wall of Sheep. Or having fun with Shellshock with DHCP. Information leak of NTLM hashes or similar.
5. Pwning the device via some nasty things like WiFi/TCP/Bluetooth/LTE/3G/GSM stack. These are unicorn attacks.

6. Pwning your device by pwning a service on your device. Like leaving your upload.php file in the root folder you use at CTFs and Nginx is set to autostart. The author of this article cannot comment on this incident whether it happened in real life or is just an imaginary example. 

How to mitigate these risks? 

Laptop getting stolen/lost/inspected at the border?
1. Bring a cheap, empty device with you. Or set up a fake OS/fake account to log in if you really need your day-to-day laptop. This dummy account should not decrypt the real files in the real account.

Device getting owned while in a hotel room with physical access

1. Don't bring any device with you.
2. If you bring any, make it tamper-resistant. How to do that depends on your enemy, but you can start by using nail glitter and Full Disk Encryption. Tools like Do Not Disturb help. It also helps if your OS supports suspending DMA devices before the user logs in.
3. If you can't make the device tamper-resistant, use a device that has a good defense against physical attackers, like iOS.
4. Probably you are not that important anyway that anyone will spend time and resources on you. If they do, probably you will only make your life miserable with all the hardening, but still, get pwned.

Network traffic Man-in-the-middle attacked

1. Don't bring any device with you.
2. Use services that are protected against MiTM. Like TLS.
3. Update your OS to the latest and greatest versions. Not everyone at DEF CON has a 0dayz worth of 100K USD, and even the ones who have won't waste it on you. 
4. Use fail-safe VPN. Unfortunately, not many people talk about this or have proper solutions for the most popular operating systems.
5. For specific attacks like Responder, disable LLMNR, NBT-NS, WPAD, and IPv6 and use a non-work account on the machine. If you don't have the privileges to do so on your machine, you probably should not bring this device with you. Or ask your local IT to disable these services and set up a new account for you.

Pwning the device via some nasty thing like WiFi/TCP/Bluetooth/LTE/3G/GSM stack

1. Don't bring any device with you.
2. If you bring any, do not use this device to log in to work, personal email, social media, etc.
3. Don't worry, these things don't happen very often. 

Pwning your device by pwning a service on your device

Just set up a firewall profile where all services are hidden from the outside. You rarely need any service accessible on your device at a hacker conference.

Conclusion

If you are still so afraid to go there, just don't go there. Watch the talks at home. But how is the hotel WiFi at a random place different from a hacker conference? Turns out, it is not much different, so you better spend time and resources on hardening your daily work devices for 365 days, instead of building a "burner device".

You probably need a "burner device" if you are a spy for a foreign government. Or you are the head of a criminal organization. Otherwise, you don't need a burner device. Maybe you need to bring a cheap replacement device.

The next battleground

Balance of Power
Bloomberg

The coronavirus has injected a new element of uncertainty about voter turnout into the battle for control of the White House and Congress in November.

Democrats in particular are concerned their supporters, already facing disproportionate barriers to voting and concentrated in urban areas hardest-hit by the virus, will be disinclined to stand in long lines at polling stations on Nov. 3, perhaps helping to hand a second term to President Donald Trump.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been pushing expanded voting options and federal funding to help state and local governments prepare for the upcoming elections. The Democrats' latest stimulus package, scheduled for a vote today, would require all 50 states to allow voting by mail.

Trump vehemently opposes expanding mail-in voting, telling reporters this week the process "is subject to tremendous corruption."

"We're not going to lose elections because of that," he said.

A dramatic increase in voting by mail — which already is allowed without an excuse in 34 states — could trigger unpleasant memories of the 2000 presidential ballot-counting in Florida, Ryan Teague Beckwith reports.

Back then, it took more than a month to settle on George W. Bush as the victor over Al Gore — ending with a controversial decision by a divided U.S. Supreme Court.

Another brokered outcome could be on the horizon.

Global Headlines

Worst case | The China-U.S. relationship has deteriorated to the breaking point just four months after Trump said ties were the best they've ever been. While the world's biggest economies still have plenty of incentive to avoid the worst-case scenarios as they seek to restore economic growth after the pandemic, tensions are only expected to heat up before the U.S. election in November.

  • Read more on how Trump's "America First" agenda has left a void in the Indo-Pacific region that forces Australia to take a stand, even at the risk of retaliation.

Boomeranging allegations | Trump has long complained that Barack Obama and factions in the Justice Department and U.S. intelligence misused power to undermine him. Now, as Chris Strohm reports, top administration officials have taken highly unusual steps that are prompting accusations they're using the same agencies to boost Trump ahead of the November election.

  • Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said anyone who believes the sexual assault allegations against him shouldn't vote for him.

Inside knowledge | Republican Senator Richard Burr is temporarily stepping down as chairman of the Intelligence Committee amid a federal probe into whether he sold stocks as a result of secret briefings. Burr was among senators who shed holdings around the time intelligence officials were delivering closed-door briefings about the emerging virus threat. He's denied any wrongdoing.

Brexit stalemate | The U.K. and the European Union are stumbling toward the brink in talks about their future relationship following Britain's exit. With the latest round of negotiations due to end today, the U.K. is refusing to compromise in key areas such as the conditions the EU wants the country to accept in return for a trade deal, fisheries and the role of the bloc's courts. Politicians will meet in June to decide if it's worth carrying on.

Loss of confidence | Following a failed coup led by an American, some opposition lawmakers in Venezuela are losing faith in both their Washington-backed opposition leader, Juan Guaido, and the Trump administration's approach to ousting President Nicolas Maduro. As Alex Vasquez explains, they believe the spread of the coronavirus demands more focus on social policy and less diplomatic grandstanding.

What to Watch:

  • Euro-area finance ministers are scheduled to sign off later today on emergency credit facilities for struggling nations and discuss the bloc's recovery fund.

  • Trump will be presented with the Space Force flag at the White House today, his latest effort to herald the launch of the new branch of the U.S. military.

  • Italy will allow citizens to move freely between its 20 regions starting June 3, according to a draft decree seen by Bloomberg.

Pop quiz, readers (no cheating!). Which national leader said Italy needs help from the European Union to cope with its debt load. Send us your answers and tell us how we're doing or what we're missing at balancepower@bloomberg.net.

And finally ... As airlines take off again, flying is likely to be more tedious than ever. Passengers can expect new temperature check points, long lines of distancing people, and plexiglass barriers isolating baggage clerks, baristas, and other staffers. Face masks and gloves will be de rigueur, disinfectants will be everywhere, and although processes will be automated to minimize human interaction, industry officials predict travel times will increase.
