FILE: Tim Larson is the executive director of the Connecticut Office of Higher Education. Imagine paying money and spending time studying to become a nurse — only to find out your school is closing before you get the degree and that a lot of your class credits won’t count. That’s the situation nearly 900 students at the for-profit Stone Academy find themselves in. The abrupt closure on Feb. 15 of three Stone Academy campuses in Connecticut has prompted Attorney General William Tong to launch an investigation into the nursing school. The state Office of Higher Education (OHE) is taking control of student records at Stone Academy. The office has been evaluating the transcripts of all students affected by Stone Academy’s closure to help those students move forward, said Timothy Larson, executive director of the Office of Higher Education. "When we did our evaluation, it was determined that about 20% of the faculty was not trained appropriately to teach these courses," Larson said. "And several of the students were involved in what we would refer to as an invalid clinical experience which was done on campus, not at a medical facility." Larson said the OHE is working with an auditor […]

An unknown threat actor has discreetly compromised business-grade DrayTek routers in Europe, Latin and North America, equipping them with a remote access trojan (dubbed HiatusRAT) and a packet capturing program. “The impacted models are high-bandwidth routers that can support VPN connections for hundreds of remote workers and offer ideal capacity for the average, medium-sized business. We suspect the actor infects targets of interest for data collection, and targets of opportunity for the purpose of establishing a covert proxy network,” Lumen researchers have posited . How did it happen? The researchers haven’t been able to pinpoint how the threat actor compromised the devices, but they know what happens next: a deployed bash script retrieves the HiatusRAT and a tcpdump variant. HiatusRAT allows the threat actor to download files or run commands on the router and it serves as a SOCKS5 proxy device. It is capable of collecting information about the router: system-level information such as MAC address and firmware version, as well as information about other files and processes running on it. But it can also collect network information to pinpoint local IP and MAC addresses of the other devices on the adjacent LAN, which can come in handy at […]

A passenger of a business jet was killed when the plane, which was traveling from Keene, N.H., to Leesburg, Va., encountered “severe turbulence” on Friday, officials said. The aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 300, was carrying two crew members and three passengers and was forced to land in Windsor Locks, a town about 14 miles north of Hartford, Conn., the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement. Officials have not identified the passenger who died. That person had been taken from the airport to a nearby hospital, the Connecticut State Police said. The N.T.S.B. said that investigators were interviewing the crew, operator and passengers and had removed the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorders from the plane, which had been secured at the Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks. Sarah Sulick, a spokeswoman for the transportation agency, said that it could not release further information about the nature of the turbulence, the passenger who was killed or any related injuries, as the investigation remained ongoing. The death follows a similar incident last week in which seven passengers of a Lufthansa flight traveling from Texas to Frankfurt were hospitalized with injuries after their plane encountered extreme turbulence. In December, […]

A creature is formed of clay. A puppet becomes a boy. A monster rises in a lab. A computer takes over a spaceship. And all manner of robots serve or control us. For generations we’ve told ourselves stories, using themes of magic and science, about inanimate things that we bring to life or imbue with power beyond human capacity. Is it any wonder that we can be primed to accept what marketers say about new tools and devices that supposedly reflect the abilities and benefits of artificial intelligence (AI)? And what exactly is “artificial intelligence” anyway? It’s an ambiguous term with many possible definitions. It often refers to a variety of technological tools and techniques that use computation to perform tasks such as predictions, decisions, or recommendations. But one thing is for sure: it’s a marketing term. Right now it’s a hot one. And at the FTC, one thing we know about hot marketing terms is that some advertisers won’t be able to stop themselves from overusing and abusing them. AI hype is playing out today across many products, from toys to cars to chatbots and a lot of things in between. Breathless media accounts don’t help, but it […]
