Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Incendiary Attack Leaves Everyone Damaged

/in


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s allegations against the royal family have now shattered their reputation in Britain and America—but there are increasing signs the royal family may have problems too.

The Duke of Sussex’s memoir Spare became the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history after runaway sales on its first day while their Netflix documentary was on the Top 10 list in 85 countries, earning 81.55 million hours watched in the week after it first aired on December 8.

The exposure, however, does not appear to have had a positive impact on their reputations after Harry’s U.S. approval rating plunged 45 points and Meghan’s 36 points between December 5, 2022, and January 16, 2023, according to polling by Redfield & Wilton for Newsweek.

The couple’s standing with Americans has in fact sunk so low that Meghan was marginally less popular than Queen Camilla, even after Season 5 of The Crown brought back to the fore the queen consort’s former status as the “other woman” in King Charles III and Princess Diana‘s marriage.

While the damage appears to have hit Harry and Meghan hardest, the royals have not escaped unharmed either—and that appears to be the case in the U.K. as well as the U.S.

U.S. Reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Revelations

Prince Harry dropped from +38 in polling for Newsweek on December 5—three days before the first episodes of the couple’s Netflix documentary aired—down to -7 on January 16, six days after the release of his book Spare.

That negative figure was made up of 31 percent who liked him and 38 percent who viewed him negatively.

Much of that damage, it would appear, happened in the days that followed the book’s release on January 10 as polling by Ipsos Mori over January 11 and 12 recorded 41 percent of Americans feeling positive about the duke. The pollster does not appear to have recorded the percentage who…

Riverhead schools: Computer system damaged by possible ‘cyber incident’

/in


The Riverhead school district’s computer system was damaged by a possible “cyber incident” that has crippled its email and internet services, district officials said Friday.

District officials said they discovered the problem Friday and are investigating the source of the breakdown.

“Preliminary reports indicate it might stem from a cyber incident,” the district said in a written statement.

A cyber incident is a breach of a system’s security in order to affect its integrity or availability, or the unauthorized access to a system, according to the National Cyber Security Centre.

The announcement of the cyber incident occurred only days after the Riverhead Board of Education adopted a cyber incident response plan on Tuesday.

Officials said the full extent of the damage remains unclear. The incident has not affected the district’s student management systems, as that data is housed off-campus. School phone lines remain operational, officials said.

Superintendent Augustine Tornatore did not respond to requests for an interview.

The Riverhead school district has about 6,000 students and 400 teachers, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

During Tuesday’s school board meeting, technology director Robert Hines said the district has already placed advanced firewalls between the system and the internet.

The district has also upgraded email security, he said, noting that the great majority of cyberattacks start with an email.

He also noted that the district’s wireless…
