Rogue...

Capital One is dealing with one of the most important data breaches of the year.

The incident involved theft of more than 100 million customer records, stolen by a single, experienced engineer, according to court filings in Seattle.

The details set it apart from breaches of companies which were attacked from the outside by criminals and different from the spate of ransomware attacks by groups of individuals outside the U.S.

Paige Thompson was able to exploit a flaw in an application firewall stored on an Amazon Web Services cloud server to gain access to the information.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed Thompson had worked for Amazon but she left in 2016. The breach took place between March and July this year.

The incident is still unraveling and will bring up major issues facing the biggest tech companies, cloud firms and banks, namely how to control who has access to sensitive consumer data and detect insiders who may go rogue.

Katz...

The New York City Board of Elections declared Monday that Queens Borough President Melinda Katz narrowly topped her challenger, Tiffany Cabán, in the Democratic primary to become the county’s next district attorney by a margin of just 60 votes.

But the fight for the party’s nomination will continue in Queens Supreme Court, where public defender Cabán plans to argue the BOE improperly excluded hundreds of ballots that could once again tip the scales in her favor.

Gun Laws...

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, joined by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, fulfilled his promise to sign the Red Flag Bill, a key component of his 2019 Justice Agenda. The Red Flag Bill prevents individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or possessing any kind of firearm. 

This legislation builds on New York's strongest in the nation gun laws and makes New York the first in the United States to empower its teachers and school administrators to prevent school shootings by pursuing court intervention.              

 (Three months later)

A community festival was coming to a close when gunfire erupted in a Brooklyn neighborhood, leaving one man dead, another person in critical condition and 10 others wounded, authorities said as they searched for two shooters they believe were involved.

NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said the shooting late Saturday in the borough's Brownsville section "was a tragic end to a wonderful weekend" where thousands of people had come to take part in the annual Old Timers Event, which he said had been held since 1963. 

So it is not as simple as the governor say.  Just a thought.
