In the US “the aggression against science and scientists is coming from one political party, and the extreme element of one political party” but the article talks about harassment in other countries as well.
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
The Nation is witnessing the determined delegitimization of both its Federal and State judiciaries and the systematic dismantling of its system of justice and Rule of Law by a single man
– the former President of the United States.
In the months ahead, the former president can only be expected to ramp up his unprecedented efforts to #delegitimize the courts of the United States, the nation’s state courts, and America’s system of justice, through his vicious, disgraceful, and unforgiveable #attacks and #threats on the Federal and State Judiciaries and the individual Judges of these courts.
Never in American history has any person, let alone a President of the United States, leveled such threatening attacks against the federal and state courts and federal and state judicial officers of the kind the former president has leveled continually now for years.
The #GitLab#vulnerability allowing trivial account hijacking (CVE-2023-7028) will lead to ton of problems: It will allow malicious actors to perform #supplychain#attacks - something that will allow attacker to gain access to 3rd party who don't themselves run GitLab but just include from projects that do. I would suggest great caution regardless if you run GitLab yourself or not.
Naturally anyone using GitLab themselves must update as soon as possible. I would also suggest performing forensic investigation to find out if you have already been compromised, and take further action in case compromise has already occurred. Check "Were any accounts actually compromised due to this vulnerability?" section in this post for details: https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2024/01/11/critical-security-release-gitlab-16-7-2-released/
