DEA given permission to ‘conduct covert surveillance’ on protesters
The Justice Dept. this week gave the Drug Enforcement Administration, a federal agency typically tasked with enforcing federal drug-related law, the right to “to “enforce any federal crime committed as a result of the protests over the death of George Floyd.” The DEA is one of the most tech savvy agencies, with access to stingrays, billions of cell phone records, facial recognition tech and more. According to BuzzFeed, even some at the DEA are uneasy about the move, saying the Justice Dept. is “potentially abusing” its power to smear the protesters. The ACLU said that drug enforcement agents should “not be conducting covert surveillance of protests and First Amendment protected speech.”

“Too many people, especially in the infosec community have remained silent.”
The director of Google’s Threat Analysis Group that’s tasked with investigating nation-state hacking, said Chinese hackers were targeting the Biden campaign just as Iranian hackers were targeting the Trump camp (again). Both campaigns were alerted to the unsuccessful intrusions. “No sign of compromise,” said Huntley. It just goes to show that foreign actors are still interested in meddling with the upcoming U.S. election.

Introducing Secret Network: In February 2020, over 20 independent validators launched a new blockchain that at the time was known as the Enigma mainnet blockchain. This mainnet is a proof-of-stake-based blockchain based on Cosmos SDK / Tendermint and secured by a new native coin, Secret (SCRT). The collective vision for this blockchain was to create a privacy-first chain that would allow smart contracts to utilize private and sensitive data. The network would utilize privacy technologies that could enable secure computation over encrypted data.
Today, in collaboration with initial block signers and validators from across the Enigma ecosystem, we’re excited to announce the successful launch of the first Enigma mainnet — a proof-of-stake-based blockchain based on Cosmos SDK/Tendermint and secured by a new native coin, Secret (SCRT).

Appear to Have a Lower Risk of Catching Coronavirus. Scientists in China similarly concluded those with the blood type O “had a significantly lower risk” for getting COVID-19. Those findings were released on the pre-print site medRxiv, a website where health researchers can put studies before they have gone through the rigorous peer-review process required by scientific journals.
