The 2017 deal for Tomlinson had Mayhew’s stamp on it. The 49ers traded a 2019 fifth-round pick to the Lions for Tomlinson, whom Mayhew had selected in the first round in 2015. Tomlinson, a disappointment in Detroit, has flourished with the 49ers and signed a three-year, $18 million extension in 2018. … [Read more...] about Report: 49ers’ Martin Mayhew will take executive role with Washington

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott’s term ending a year early
“This moment, when college athletics are moving in a new direction and with the Conference soon commencing the next round of media negotiations, it seems the right time to make a change,” said Scott in the Pac-12 statement. “It is important that the conference be able to put in place the person who will negotiate and carry out that next agreement. Based on the recent robust valuation and marketplace interest we’ve received from traditional and nontraditional media organizations, I am confident the conference is well-positioned for continued success. I appreciate the support of the Pac-12 member institutions and a very talented staff, with whom it has been my privilege to work.” … [Read more...] about Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott’s term ending a year early
The Many Ways to Map the Islamic ‘State’
The Economist's map shows where ISIS is present in, controlling, or contesting territory—a broad depiction of what the 'caliphate' might be. Under that definition, this image would not have changed much since June despite recent gains by ISIS; where it has acquired more territory (as in Syria's Raqqa province, where this week it seized the last of the government-controlled military bases), ISIS was in many cases already shown as "present" in the map above. The difference now is that ISIS has won more battles, and as a result has more infrastructure and resources to fund and defend what it now calls the Islamic State. … [Read more...] about The Many Ways to Map the Islamic ‘State’
Will the City of London Remain Europe’s Main Financial Centre After Brexit?
On 1 January 2021 the City of London lost its blanket access to EU financial markets which is due to be replaced by the equivalence system, which envisages the bloc recognising Britain's legal requirements for regulating services, even though they may not be exactly the same. However, an EU-UK comprehensive equivalence agreement, which would help preserve London as a hub for EU finance, has yet to be struck, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty. … [Read more...] about Will the City of London Remain Europe’s Main Financial Centre After Brexit?

Facebook Can’t Be Trusted to Self-Police, Regulation May Be Needed – Canadian MP
'Don't you see that by using the same tactics of misinformation, rather than being accountable, that you've lost public trust and cannot be trusted to police yourselves?… I put it to you that you have lost the trust of the international community to self-police and that we have to start looking at the methods for holding you and your company accountable', Angus told Richard Allan, the vice president of policy solutions at Facebook. … [Read more...] about Facebook Can’t Be Trusted to Self-Police, Regulation May Be Needed – Canadian MP

The road to permanent remote working
Often, employees do not adhere to the security protocols simply due to a lack of knowledge of the threats, which failure to comply can leave them vulnerable to. The move to remote working was so necessarily abrupt that many businesses did not have the time to implement clear policies and procedures, leaving employees to improvise. This creates a ‘perfect storm’ scenario for cybercriminals. We have already seen a recent ramp up in malicious activity: VMWare’s ‘Global Threat Report’ discovered that 91% of global respondents saw an increase in cyberattacks as a result of employees working from home. … [Read more...] about The road to permanent remote working
DDoS attacks trending larger and more persistent
As was the case in previous quarters last year, in Q4 the majority of attacks were under 1Gbps and 1m pps. This trend reflects the fact that most DDoS attacks are launched by amateur attackers using simple and cheap tools. However, these small attacks can also be used to distract security teams from other cyberattacks or to test a network's defense mechanisms. … [Read more...] about DDoS attacks trending larger and more persistent
