Unterseekabel zwischen #Lettland und #Schweden beschädigt – Sabotage vermutet
Ein Untersee-Glasfaserkabel des staatlichen lettischen Radio- und Fernsehzentrums LVRTS ist in der #Ostsee in der ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone Schwedens am Sonntagmorgen beschädigt worden, teilte das Portal LSM unter Verweis auf das LVRTS mit. Es wird angenommen, dass der Schaden auf externe Einflüsse zurückzuführen sei.
Die lettische Marine inspizierte das Schiff „Michalis San“, das sich zum Zeitpunkt der Beschädigung in dem Gebiet befand und angeblich unter maltesischer Flagge nach Russland fuhr. Es wurden jedoch keine verdächtigen Aktivitäten festgestellt. Die schwedische Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt wegen „schwerer Sabotage“ und hat das Schiff festgesetzt.

Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.”
