Speck Announces New ImpactHero Phone Cases for Android
“We at Speck are excited to now support a wider variety of Android phones from manufacturers like Samsung, TCL, Motorola, and more,” said Jeff Eisses, Chief Revenue Officer at Speck Products. “Every phone could use a ‘hero’ to protect it from harm, and now having ImpactHero lets us reach a much wider audience that hasn’t had many quality protection options up to now.”
ImpactHero is made with a patented dual-layer construction to provide a soft-touch outer surface over protective inner cushioning, creating its ability to survive an eight-foot fall. Its slim profile enables uninterrupted wireless charging while featuring Microban® antimicrobial product protection against stain and odor-causing bacteria. The scratch-resistant, yet supple, surface of ImpactHero feels great in the hand and provides a secure grip while taking pictures and videos. Like Speck’s other protective cases, ImpactHero includes a raised bezel that protects the screen when placed face down, full access to ports, covered buttons and an anti-stretch design to maintain its heroic form. Speck’s suggested retail price for ImpactHero is $29.95 for most models. Visit SpeckProducts.com to learn more.

Resolution to hacking cases in Indonesia still eludes all
Government websites often become the target of hacking from time to time, as it easily draws attention.
News pertaining to data leaks have continued to surface since the start of this year.
Cybersecurity expert Pratama Persadha remarked that annually, a leak is always reported in several government institutions, starting from the Health Ministry to Bank Indonesia (BI).
However, a resolution to the cases of hacking in Indonesia is nowhere to be found despite the authorities having responded to the data leak.
A case that recently came to light was a ransomware attack on the BI website.
As of January 26, 2022, BI’s 368 internal computers were claimed to have been hacked by a Conti ransomware group, with 1330 gigabytes of data being uploaded.
In connection with this data leak, the National Police (Polri) investigates this case and also communicates with BI, Polri’s Public Relations Head Dedi Prasetyo told ANTARA here on Thursday, January 20.

Moreover, Persadha drew attention to the state-owned oil company Pertamina’s leak case.
The website https://recruitment.pertamina-ptc.com still cannot be accessed to this day ever since the news of the data leak surfaced.
Several reasons behind the inaccessibility of the Pertamina Training and Consulting include an audit assessment that had yet to be conducted on the system in the government’s institution.
It is also likely that Pertamina is not yet confident that it has sterilized the system from the malware that the hacker utilized.
Moreover, it may not be sure that it could bolster its defence post-attack to make it safer from a takedown.

It should not take too long for an organization as large as Pertamina to deal with this type of problem, especially since the website involves a third party and utilizes a service level agreement (SLA).
This means, with SLA, there is standardization and accountability regarding the website’s service and others, such as its security.
Points within the SLA are crucial since during several recent hacking cases, the perpetrator had attacked the weakest segment, such as the…
SAGE expert warns Covid cases could ‘really take off’
A Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) member has warned of the risk of waning immunity in older individuals and extended strain on the NHS.
Professor John Edmunds told BBC Radio 4’s the World at One programme: “I think there’s a risk because of waning immunity in older individuals, and that’s all adults, not just the elderly, that cases could really take off.
“So, I think it’s really important that we boost immunity in older individuals and then we might be able to avoid any significant fourth wave.”
He said the UK is ahead of other parts of Europe – where the Covid-19 situation is worsening – due to the rollout of boosters and the level of infection, but warned over the length of pressure being heaped on the NHS.
“It has been (under strain) for months and months, and that’s not going to ease up any time soon because this very high level of infection that we have now and we’ve had for months isn’t going to decline significantly,” he added.
“We’re going to have high levels of infection for many months, so I think the NHS will unfortunately be under significant strain – it may not get to breaking point, where we were close to before – but significant strain for a very long period of time is certainly on the cards.”
Booster jabs are to be added to the NHS Covid pass for travel from Friday, it has been announced.
It means travellers will be able to prove they have had the extra jab when visiting other countries.
The move comes as a number of countries, including Croatia and Austria, have introduced a time limit for the validity of the coronavirus jab.
Boosters will not be added to the domestic Covid pass.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for people to show their vaccine status if they are travelling abroad.
“This update to the NHS Covid pass will mean people can have their complete medical picture at their fingertips if they are going on holiday or seeing loved ones overseas.”
Around one in 65 people in private households in England had Covid-19 in the week to November 13, down from one in 60 the previous week, according to the…
