“Front Desk Alert: Ransomware Gang’s Latest Tactics for Extortion”

When a hacker called the company that his gang claimed to breach, he felt the same way that most of us feel when calling the front desk: frustrated. The recording also shows how ransomware gangs are always looking for different ways to intimidate the companies they hack. I’m just trying to help you,” the hacker responds, growing increasingly frustrated. “So is that Dragonforce.com?”The hacker then threatens Beth, saying they will start calling the company’s clients, employees and partners. “Excuse me?” the hacker responds.

OpenAI Addresses Lack of Diversity on Its Board in Response to Congressional Black Caucus

OpenAI has responded to a letter sent by the Congressional Black Caucus that flagged the lack of diversity on its board. OpenAI’s response letter, which TechCrunch saw, was dated January 5 and signed by CEO Sam Altman and Chairman of the Board Bret Taylor. The OpenAI board has received criticism for its lack of gender and racial diversity since its reconfiguration after Altman’s ousting and prompt return in November. In mid-December, CBC Chairs Rep. Emanuel Cleaver and Rep. Barbara Lee sent a letter to OpenAI, asking it to “move expeditiously” in diversifying its board. OpenAI did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment regarding its response letter or its plans to diversify its board.
