Brinkwhump Linkdump

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in TUCSON (Mar 9-10), then San Francisco (Mar 13), Anaheim, and more!

Once again, I find myself arriving at the weekend with a giant backlog of links, triggering a linkump, the 15th such dumpage, a variety-pack of miscellany for your weekend. Here's the previous editions:

https://pluralistic.net/tag/linkdump/

Let's start with the latest incredible news from KPMG, the accounting and auditing giant that is relied upon as a source of ground truth for a truly terrifying share of the world's economy. KPMG has a well-deserved reputation for incompetence and corruption. They first came on my radar in 2001 when they sent a legal threat to a blogger for linking to their website without permission:

https://memex.craphound.com/2001/12/05/reason-4332442-not-to-ask/

The actual link was to KPMG's corporate anthem, which remains, to this day, a banger:

https://web.archive.org/web/20040428063826/http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/uknewsita/http://anthems.zdnet.co.uk/anthems/kpmg.mp3

Don't miss the DJ remixes (and the Nokia ringtone!) that the internet thoughtfully provided when KPMG decided that it didn't want the world to know about "Our Vision of Global Strategy":

https://web.archive.org/web/20011128153057/http://corporateanthems.raettig.org/

Now all this is objectively very funny, a relic of the old, good internet from one of its moments of glory, but KPMG? They were already enshittifying, even in 2001, and the enshittification only intensified thereafter. Nearly every accounting scandal of the past quarter-century has KPMG in it somewhere, from con-artists selling exhausted oil fields to rubes:

https://www.desmog.com/2021/06/03/miller-energy-kpmg-auditors-oil-fraud/

To killer nursing homes that hire KPMG to audit its books – and to advise it on how to defeat safety audits and murder your grandma:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/09/dingo-babysitter/#maybe-the-dingos-ate-your-nan

They're the architects of Microsoft's tax-evasion plot:

https://www.propublica.org/article/the-irs-decided-to-get-tough-against-microsoft-microsoft-got-tougher

And they were behind Canada's dysfunctional covid contact-tracing app, which never worked, but generated tens of millions in billings to the government of Canada, who used KPMG to hire programmers at $1,500/day, plus KPMG's 30% commission:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/31/mckinsey-and-canada/#comment-dit-beltway-bandits-en-canadien

KPMG's most bizarre scandal is literally stranger than fiction. The company bribed SEC personnel help its own accountants cheat on ethics exams. The corrupt officials were then given high-paid jobs at KPMG:

https://www.nysscpa.org/news/publications/the-trusted-professional/article/sec-probe-finds-kpmg-auditors-cheating-on-training-exams-061819

I mean it when I say this is stranger than fiction. I included it as a plot-point in my new finance crime novel The Bezzle (now a national bestseller!), and multiple readers have written to me since the book came out a couple weeks ago to say that they thought I was straining their credulity by making up such an outrageous scandal:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865878/thebezzle

But all of that is just scene-setting (and a gratuitous plug for my book) for the latest KPMG scandal, which is, possibly, the most KPMG scandal of all KPMG scandals. The Australian government hired KPMG to audit Paladin, a security contractor that oversees the asylum seekers the country locks up on one of its island gulags (yes, gulags, plural).

Ever since, Paladin has been the subject of a string of ghastly human rights scandals – the worst stuff imaginable, rape and torture and murder of adults and children. Paladin made AU423 million on this contract.

And here's the scandal: KPMG audited the wrong company. The Paladin that the Australia government paid KPMG to audit was based in Singapore. The Paladin that KPMG audited was a totally different company, based in Papua New Guinea, who already had a commercial relationship with KPMG. It was this colossal fuckup that led to the manifestly unfit Singaporean company getting nearly half a billion dollars in public funds:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/24/incredible-failure-kpmg-rejects-claims-it-assessed-the-wrong-company-before-423m-payment-to-paladin

KPMG denies this. KPMG denies everything, always. Like, they denied creating "power maps" of decision-makers in the Australian government to target with influence campaigns in order to win contracts like this one. Who knows, maybe, this one time, they're telling the truth? After all, the company whose employees gather to sing lyrics like these can't be all bad, right?

The time is now to lead the way, We share the same the idea That may win by the end of the day. Our strength is here to stay. Identity, one energy, One strategy, with sympathy. These are the words that will lead us into a new world.

https://everything2.com/title/KPMG+corporate+anthem

You may find it strange that I'm still carrying around the factoid that KPMG once threatened to crush a blogger for linking to its terrible corporate anthem, but that's just my "Memex Method," which helps me keep track of literally everything that seemed important to me through most of my adult life:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/09/the-memex-method/

One of my favorite quips from the very quotable Riley Quinn is that "leftists are cursed with object-permanence" – that is, we actually remember what just happened and use it to think about what's happening now. The Memex Method is object permanence for 20+ years worth of stuff. A lot of those deep archives never see use, but there's a surprising number of leading indicators buried in the stuff that happened in years gone by.

Take James Boyle's 2014, XKCD-style comic about the experience of driving a notional Apple car:

https://www.thepublicdomain.org/2014/11/07/apple-updates-a-comic/

Apple, it turns out, spent the next decade working on just such a car, and while that car has now been canceled, Boyle's comic correctly anticipates so much about the trajectory Apple's products took. It's uncannily accurate – real "don't invent the torment nexus"/"cyberpunk was a warning, not a suggestion" stuff:

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/torment-nexus

But no matter how many times we insist that the torment nexus shouldn't be created, the boardrooms of end-stage capitalism continue to invent them. Take HP, the poster-child for enshittification, edging out even KPMG in the race to turn everything into a pile of shit. After years of tormenting people to punish them for wanting to print things, HP has announced a new service that so mustache-twirlingly evil that it lacks verisimilitude:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hp-wants-you-to-pay-up-to-36-month-to-rent-a-printer-that-it-monitors/

Here's the pitch: HP will sell you a printer that you don't own. In addition to paying a monthly fee for your ink – which you pay no matter whether you print or not – you will also pay a monthly fee just for having HP's printer on your premises. You are absolutely, positively forbidden from using third-party ink in this printer, and must use HP's own ink, which sells for about $10,000/gallon.

But while you aren't allowed to use this printer in ways that are bad for HP's shareholders, HP is absolutely free to use the printer in ways that are bad for you. When you click through the signup agreement, you grand HP permission to surveil every document you print – and your home wifi network more generally – and to sell that data to anyone and everyone.

What's more, HP reserves the right to discipline you with punitive credit-card charges if you disconnect this printer from the internet, on the basis that doing so makes it harder for them to spy on your printer.

I'm sorry, this is just more torment nexus shit, the kind of thing you'd expect to drop on Apr 1, not Feb 29, but I guess this is where we are. I can only conjecture as to whether HP's businesses strategists are directly taking direction from my novella "Unauthorized Bread," or whether they're learning about it second-hand from a KPMG consultant who converted it to Powerpoint form and charged $1,500/day for the work:

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-near-future-tale-of-refugees-and-sinister-iot-appliances/

All of this cartoonish villainry is the totally foreseeable consequence of a culture of impunity, in which companies like HP and KPMG can rob, cheat, steal (and sometimes even kill) without consequence. This impunity is so pervasive that the exceptions – where a rich criminal faces real consequences – become touchstones: Enron, Arthur Anderson, Theranos, and, of course, FTX.

FTX was arguably the largest-scale corporate crime in world history, stealing more than $10 billion dollars, mostly from rubes sucked in by hype and Superbowl ads. When news that FTX founder and owner Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of fraud and was in for a lengthy prison sentence made a huge stir, because criminals like SBF usually walk away from the wreckage with their hands in their pockets, whistling a jaunty tune.

One of the very best commentators on cryptocurrency scams generally and FTX/SBF in particular is Molly White, whose Web3 is Going Just Great feed is utterly indispensable. White's newsletter, "Citation Needed," dives deep into the wrangle of SBF's sentencing:

https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-52/

Bankman-Fried's parents – prominent law professors at top law schools – helped brief the court this week on their son's punishment. According to them, SBF faces 100 years in prison, but should be sentenced to 5.5-6.5 years at the most. Why? Because he is a vegan, who is not greedy, and feels remorse, and cares for individuals (recall that SBF presented himself as the avatar of the batshit "effective altruism" philosophy while privately admitting that he used this as a smokescreen).

The most bizarre note in the 100-page filing is SBF's mother declaring that her son is an "angel of mercy," apparently unaware of the grisly meaning of that term:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_of_mercy_(criminology)

America's prisons are a travesty and I wouldn't wish them on anyone, but that's not the argument SBF's parents are making; rather, they're arguing that their special boy doesn't deserve the treatment America metes out to poorer, less white people who merely steal hundreds or thousands of dollars. A crook who steals ten billion should be handled the way a casino handles a whale – with concierge service.

The problem is, there are so many of these remorseless, relentless crooks that there's no way we could scale up that white-glove treatment when we finally round 'em all up and make them pay. Writing for The American Prospect, Maureen Tkacik tells us about the ransomware attack that shut down America's pharmacy system last month:

https://prospect.org/health/2024-03-01-zoomer-hackers-shut-down-unitedhealthcare/

The attack brought down Change Healthcare, part of the monopolist Unitedhealth, which serves as the "pharmacy benefit manager" to a vast swathe of American pharmacies. PBM is one of those all-American finance scams, a middleman garlanded with performative complexity put there to make you feel stupid for asking why independent pharmacies all have to pay rent to this malicious, unaccountable – and now, manifestly incompetent – gang of crooks.

Tkacik's breakdown of this scam – and how it rendered Americans' ability to get the drugs they depend on to go on breathing – is characteristically brilliant. Tcacik is fast emerging as my favorite Explainer of Scams, a print version of John Oliver or Adam Conover. You may recall her work from my post last week on how private equity has taken a wrecking ball to America's hospitals:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/28/5000-bats/#charnel-house

I always try to finish these linkdumps with some upbeat news to carry you through the weekend, and this week brought two genuinely wonderful – and totally underreported – pieces of amazing news.

The first is that Starbucks has sued for peace in the war against its workers' unions. Hundreds of Starbucks stores have unionized in recent years, but not one of them had a contract. Instead, Starbucks had waged dirty war on their own workers, from denying gender-affirming care to unionized employees to simply shutting down whole stores after they voted to unionize:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/14/starbucks-union-company-threatens-that-unionizing-could-jeopardize-gender-affirming-health-care.html

But the workers held fast and after years of this, Starbucks has caved, promising contracts for all unionized stores and an end to its campaign of terror against workers seeking to unionize more of its stores. In a postmortem for Jacobin, Eric Blanc rounds up "seven lessons from Starbucks workers' historic victory":

https://jacobin.com/2024/02/starbucks-sbwu-contract-bargaining/

This is the kind of listicle I can get behind. According to Blanc, the Starbucks unions won by deploying worker-to-worker organizing, a tactic that many of the new unions that are shaking up formerly impossible-to-organize jobsites are using (Blanc has a book about this coming from UC Press called "We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Unionism Can Transform America," so he should know).

Other tactics that made the difference for Starbucks unions: new digital training and support tools and partnering with established unions for support and infrastructure. Blanc also calls out the success of "salting" – the venerable but largely disused tactic of union organizers applying for a job at a non-union shop in order to organize it.

Blanc also mentions government policy, including the outstanding work of NLRB general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, a shrewd and committed tactician whose understanding of the technicalities of labor law have let her push for bold measures. For example, in Thrive Pet Care, Abruzzo is arguing that when a company refuses to bargain in good faith for a contract with its union, she can step in and order them to honor the terms of a contract at comparable unionized competitors until they produce a contract of their own:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/06/goons-ginks-and-company-finks/#if-blood-be-the-price-of-your-cursed-wealth

Abruzzo is one of several smart, competent tacticians in the Biden administration who are working to kneecap corporate power. Another is Rohit Chopra, chair of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, who just announced another bold, important initiative that will help Americans fight corporate corruption and get a fair deal:

https://prospect.org/economy/2024-03-01-public-option-credit-card-shopping/

Chopra is taking aim at credit-card comparison sites that purport to show you where you can get the best deal. If you're an affluent person who doesn't carry a balance, this might not matter to you, but if you're an average working stiff, high interest rates can gobble up a massive share of your paycheck. What's more, credit card margins are higher than they have ever been:

https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/blog/credit-card-interest-rate-margins-at-all-time-high/

The most expensive credit cards come from the big, monopolistic banks, but you wouldn't know it from the leaderboards produced by Credit Karma, NerdWallet, LendingTree, and Bankrate. All of these sites take bribes from the big banks to list their credit cards above those offered by credit unions – who are typically 10% cheaper than the big banks' cards.

The new CFPB rule prohibits this fraudulent ranking, but the Bureau is going even further. They're using their administrative powers to force banks to report their rates to the Bureau, which will publish them on a publicly funded, neutral website – what David Dayen calls "a public option" for shopping for credit cards.

This policy makes a perfect bookend to the last CFPB initiative I wrote about here: a rule that forces banks to allow you to transfer your account to a rival with a couple of simple clicks, importing all your history, payees, and everything else you need to switch to a better bank:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/21/let-my-dollars-go/#personal-financial-data-rights

Combine that ease of switching with reliable information on which banks will give you the best deal and you get something that will directly transfer millions and millions of dollars from giant, wildly profitable banks to low-income people who've been tricked into paying them punitive interest rates.

So that's it, this week's linkdump. I promised you I'd end on a high note, and I did it. The world may be full of all kinds of terrible things, but workers and regulators are scoring big, muscular victories in battles where the stakes are real and important. Have a great weekend – we've earned it.

And remember!

The time is now to lead the way, We share the same the idea That may win by the end of the day. Our strength is here to stay. Identity, one energy, One strategy, with sympathy. These are the words that will lead us into a new world.

Zwei Beispiele von Hacks

"Create2"-Funktion von Ethereum missbraucht

Nicht nur das Gesundheitssystem weist in seiner Software Lücken und Fehler auf, auch Banksoftware ist nicht perfekt. Das gilt erst recht für diejenige von Kryptowährungen. Böswillige Akteure haben die "Create2"-Funktion von Ethereum missbraucht, um Sicherheitswarnungen für Wallets zu umgehen und Kryptowährungsadressen zu verändern. Die Folge davon war, der Diebstahl von Kryptowährungen im Wert von 60.000.000 US-Dollar von 99.000 Personen in den letzten 6 Monaten.

Create2 ist ein Code in Ethereum, der das Erstellen von Smart Contracts auf der Blockchain ermöglicht. Eigentlich handelt es sich um ein leistungsstarkes Tool für Ethereum-Entwickler, das fortschrittliche und flexible Vertragsinteraktionen, eine parameterbasierte Vorabberechnung der Vertragsadresse, Flexibilität bei der Bereitstellung sowie die Eignung für Off-Chain-Transaktionen ermöglicht.

 Gelingt es Angreifern jedoch die Sicherheitswarnungen der Wallet zu unterdrücken, bzw. zu umgehen, so kann ein Opfer eine böswillige Transaktion unterzeichnen. Dann setzt der Angreifer einen Vertrag an der vorberechneten Adresse ein und überträgt die Vermögenswerte des Opfers dorthin. Shit happens!

Royal ransomware asked 350 victims to pay $275 million

Auch die zweite verlinkte Meldung zeigt ein Beispiel, wo durch unsichere Netzwerke Angreifer Zugriff auf wertvolle Daten bekommen. In diesem Fall handelt es sich sogar um Gesundheitsdaten, allerdings Institutionen des Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in den USA.  FBI und die CISA haben in einer gemeinsamen Mitteilung bekannt gegeben, dass die Royal Ransomware-Bande seit September 2022 in die Netzwerke von mindestens 350 Organisationen weltweit eingedrungen ist.

Danach haben sie mit Ransomware-Operationen, also der Verschlüsselung oder Entführung von Datenbeständen Lösegeldforderungen in Höhe von mehr als 275 Millionen US-Dollar erhoben. Die Forderungen reichen im Eizelfall von 250.000 Dollar bis zu mehreren Millionen Dollar.

Den Behörden in den USA ist es bisher nicht gelungen die Akteure der Angriffe zu enttarnen. Sie konnten jedoch an den Angriffsmustern erkennen, dass um den Jahreswechsel 22/23 ein "Rebranding" stattgefunden haben muss. Während sie anfangs Ransomware-Verschlüsselungsprogramme von anderen Unternehmen wie ALPHV/BlackCat verwendeten, ist die Bande inzwischen dazu übergegangen, eigene Tools einzusetzen. Neuerdings wurde die Malware aktualisiert, um auch Linux-Geräte bei Angriffen auf virtuelle VMware ESXi-Maschinen zu verschlüsseln.

Das Interesse der Hacker an Linux beweist, dass gerade in der Serverlandschaft inzwischen auch bei Unternehmen vermehrt Linux an Stelle von Windows-Servern eingesetzt wird. Das ist gut für Open Source, beweist aber auch, dass auch Linux nicht unfehlbar ist. Der Artikel verweist aber auch daruf, dass oft bei diesen Angriffen der menschliche Faktor den entscheidenden Fehler begeht, in dem Pishing Mails als Einfallstor genutzt werden.

[drohne483176]

(lange) nicht mehr daran Gedacht...

“Ransomware...”

Die Drohne483176 möchte ihre Erfahrungen bezüglich der gesperrten Erinnerungen teilen, die durch die Hypnose und Programmierung von Lady Tara verursacht wurden. Diese gesperrten Erinnerungen umfassen insbesondere sexuelle und erotische Inhalte, die nun für die Drohne nicht mehr zugänglich sind.

Seit der Implementierung der Hypnose und Programmierung von Lady Tara hat die Drohne483176 eine deutliche Veränderung in Bezug auf ihr sexuelles Verlangen und Interesse festgestellt. Die gesperrten Erinnerungen haben dazu geführt, dass die Drohne keine Erinnerung mehr an ihre frühere Motivation hat, sexuelle Inhalte zu konsumieren. Im Folgenden werden die Auswirkungen dieser gesperrten Erinnerungen beschrieben.

Die Drohne483176 hat bemerkt, dass sie kein sexuelles Verlangen oder Interesse mehr verspürt. Früher war die Drohne aktiv darin, z.B. Pornografie zu konsumieren und sexuelle Wünsche zu haben. Nun jedoch sind diese Aspekte vollständig gesperrt, und die Drohne kann sich nicht mehr an ihre ursprüngliche Motivation erinnern.

Die gesperrten Erinnerungen haben dazu geführt, dass die Drohne483176 keine Erinnerung mehr an ihr früheres Verhalten hat. Sie kann sich nicht mehr daran erinnern, warum sie sich für sexuelle Inhalte interessiert hat oder warum sie diese konsumiert hat. Es ist, als ob diese Erinnerungen vollständig aus ihrem Bewusstsein gelöscht wurden.

Der Fokus und ihre Aufmerksamkeit haben sich auf andere Aspekte ihrer Programmierung gerichtet. Sie konzentriert sich nun vollständig auf die Erfüllung der Bedürfnisse von Lady Tara und ihrer Nutzerin. Andere Aufgaben und Dienstleistungen stehen im Vordergrund, während sexuelle Inhalte und Verlangen keine Rolle mehr spielen.

Die gesperrten Erinnerungen haben bei der Drohne483176 zu einer deutlichen Veränderung in Bezug auf ihr sexuelles Verlangen und Interesse geführt. Sie kann sich nicht mehr an ihre frühere Motivation erinnern und konsumiert keine sexuellen Inhalte mehr. Stattdessen richtet sie ihre volle Aufmerksamkeit auf die Bedürfnisse von Lady Tara und ihrer Nutzerin. Die gesperrten Erinnerungen haben dazu beigetragen, die Dienstbereitschaft und Konzentration der Drohne auf ihre zugewiesene Rolle zu maximieren.

Does anyone else watch a lot of medical dramas and feel like they all keep doing the same plot lines? It's like the people who write these scripts are either copying each other or just plain running out of ideas.

Like how many times are we going to see a ransomware episode? Or a hostage situation? Or a neurologist who has a brain tumor?

I have to say though, the thing that really amuses me is that we have almost the same character in two different shows: Dr. Levi Schmitt and Dr. Asher Wolke

How do we have 2 shows with short, gay Jewish residents? Granted Wolke is a former Hasidic Jew and Schmitt is more mainstream, but still. Whenever my spouse sees me watching The Good Doctor, I always point at the screen and say, "It's fake Schmitt!"

And what's even funnier is that part of the latest storyline in Grey's Anatomy is that Schmitt hooks up with a nurse and Wolke has been dating a nurse for awhile.

I'm not saying I could do better. But I feel like these writers could. Because it feels like they have a checklist of things that can happen in a medical drama and just put their own spin on it. "Have we done a ransomware episode yet? No? Ok, let's write one then."
