23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns". The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'. (x) These 147 people would rather have women die of sepsis than let women control their own bodies. If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

As the Israel-Hamas war escalated this week, WIRED looked at the conditions that contributed to Israel's intelligence failures ahead of Hamas' initial attack last Saturday, as well as the hacktivism and digital mayhem that has subsequently sprung up around the kinetic war. The situation has led to a torrent of misinformation across global discourse, particularly on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where fake photos, old videos, and video game footage have exploded on an unprecedented scale. 
X’s Trust and Safety team claims it has been working to address the situation, but company CEO Elon Musk has been “posting through it,” sharing conspiracies and engaging with QAnon discourse on the platform. The chaotic situation on X has been difficult for the average user to keep up with. In one case, a graphic Hamas video that Donald Trump Jr. shared on the platform actually turned out to be legitimate, even though it seemed at first look like it might have been part of the broader deluge of misinformation. And beyond just X, rumors of a “Global Day of Jihad” on Friday unleashed a dangerous wave of disinformation across digital platforms—one that threatened to cross into real-world violence.
With the trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried in full swing this week, WIRED took a deep look at the day someone stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the ill-fated cryptocurrency exchange as it was declaring bankruptcy. And new evidence released by researchers this week indicates that the stolen FTX funds went through a chain of intermediaries that eventually led to Russia-linked money launderers.
As chaos in the United States House of Representatives continues over Republicans' inability to deal with far-right hardliners and elect a new speaker, WIRED reported that Republican Party leaders have imposed cell phone bans in an attempt to keep backroom dealmaking under wraps. The United Nations' top internet governance body may host its next two annual meetings in countries known for repressive digital policies and abusive information control, which risks normalizing internet censorship. And white supremacist “active clubs” are gaining traction in part through communication on the messaging app Telegram.
Meanwhile, Google announced this week that it will make the more secure password replacement known as passkeys the default login option for its personal account holders as part of the company's efforts to promote adoption of the technology. And a new internet protocol vulnerability known as “HTTP/2 Rapid Reset” impacts virtually every web server around the world and will take years to stamp out, exposing some sites and digital services to denial of service attacks long-term.
And there's more. Each week we round up the security and privacy news that we didn’t cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.
Vietnam Used Predator Spyware to Target US Congress
Notorious high-end commercial spyware like Pegasus and Predator has been used over the past decade to target human rights activists, protesters, and journalists. But a foreign nation using it to target the smartphones of US members of Congress represents a rare and brazen new appearance of those notorious tools. On Monday The Washington Post, along with a consortium of more than a dozen international media outlets, revealed that the Vietnamese government used that Predator spyware, distributed by the surveillance firms Cytrox and Intellexa, to target at least four members of Congress—representative Michael McCaul and senators Chris Murphy, John Hoeven, and Gary Peters—as well as Asia-focused experts at US think tanks and several journalists that include CNN’s lead national security reporter, Jim Sciutto.
In the hacking campaign, those individuals were targeted in replies on X (formerly known as Twitter) that included links to websites that would have infected their iOS or Android phones with the Predator spyware. That tactic appears to have been both reckless and unsuccessful: Anyone else who saw the tweets and clicked on the link would have been infected too, and the highly public nature of that infection attempt helped researchers and reporters to analyze the scope and targeting of the campaign. The attempted espionage was timed to US government meetings with Vietnamese officials, and it appears to have been aimed at understanding US intentions in the meeting, particularly related to relations with China.
The media consortium, along with security researchers from Amnesty International and Google’s Threat Analysis Group, were able to show Vietnam’s connection to the Predator hacking campaign through documents they obtained that detail the Vietnamese government’s contract with Intellexa in 2020, and later an extension of the deal to allow the use of the Predator software. The internal documents went so far as to capture the response of Intellexa’s founder, Israeli former military hacker turned entrepreneur Tal Dilian, when the deal was announced: “Wooow!!!!” Vietnam’s government would later target French officials with Predator before this year’s campaign targeting US congressmen.
Hamas Raised Millions in Crypto Ahead of Attacks
Despite efforts by Israel and other nations to cut off funding to Hamas in recent years, the group raised millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency before the past weekend’s attack that killed more than a thousand Israelis. An analysis by The Wall Street Journal found that Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah had collectively raised hundreds of millions in crypto over the past several years, with $41 million going to Hamas specifically. Given that the Journal learned of that funding in part through Israeli seizures of crypto accounts, however, it’s not clear how much of that money was frozen or seized versus how much might have actually been successfully laundered or liquidated by Hamas and other groups. 
In response to the weekend’s attacks, the Israeli government and the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, both announced that a new round of Hamas crypto accounts had been frozen. Though crypto has helped Hamas and other groups move funds across borders, its traceability on blockchains has presented a challenge for designated terrorist groups. In 2021, for instance, Hamas asked its supporters to stop making donations via cryptocurrency, due to the ease of tracking those transactions and unmasking contributors.
Exxon Used Hacked Documents to Counter State Investigations
Last year, Reuters reporters Chris Bing and Raphael Satter published an investigation into Aviram Azari, an Israeli private investigator who is accused of using mercenary hackers to gather intelligence on the critics of major corporations involved in lawsuits against them. 
Now, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, where Azari has been convicted on criminal charges, have filed a sentencing memo that notes that activists’ communications stolen by Azari’s hackers were later used by Exxon in the company’s attempts to head off investigations and lawsuits by state attorneys general. The memo still doesn’t name Exxon as Azari’s client, but it implicitly suggests a link between the company and Azari: Prosecutors point in their memo to leaks of climate activists’ private emails to media, which were later cited by Exxon in their responses to state attorney generals as evidence of underhanded tactics by activists as they tried to prove that Exxon knew and covered up the role of fossil fuels in climate change. A Massachusetts lawsuit against Exxon that resulted from the state’s investigation is ongoing.
Magecart Cybercrime Crew Skims Cards With New 404 Trick
Internet giant Akamai warned this week that the infamous Magecart hacker crew, long focused on credit card fraud, has developed a clever new technique for spoofing credit card payment fields. The hackers managed to hide their malicious scripts in the 404 “page not found” error pages of ecommerce sites, then trigger those pages to load a spoofed payment field that impersonates a checkout page to steal credit card information. “The idea of manipulating the default 404 error page of a targeted website can offer Magecart actors various creative options for improved hiding and evasion,” warned Akamai researcher Roman Lvovsky. Akamai noted that the technique was used on the website of significant brands in the food and retail industries but declined to name them.

What Is a PCA? How does it impact Elder care in 2024
Tumblr media
This Blog was Originally Published at:
What Is a PCA? How does it impact Elder care in 2024
“Caring for our seniors is perhaps the greatest responsibility we have. Those who walked before us have given so much and made possible the life we all enjoy.” — Senator John Hoeven.
What is a Personal Care Assistant (PCA)?
A personal care assistant is a professional who provides essential support to individuals who may struggle with everyday tasks due to age, illness, disability, or other physical challenges. Specifically in the context of elder care, PCAs are trained to help elderly individuals maintain their independence while ensuring their safety, comfort, and overall well-being in the home environment. The role of a PCA includes a wide range of duties, from assisting with basic activities of daily living (ADLs) to offering companionship and emotional support.
In 2024, the role of a PCA has gained even more significance due to the increasing elderly population, growing demand for home-based care, and shifts in healthcare delivery, which prioritize in-home services over institutional settings. As more elderly individuals express a desire to age in place, the services of a PCA provide a vital solution for maintaining a higher quality of life while reducing the burden on family caregivers.
Responsibilities of a PCA
Personal Care Assistants are versatile in their roles, offering various services tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Their responsibilities can be divided into two primary categories: personal care and household assistance.
Household Assistance
Meal Preparation: Nutritious meals are vital for maintaining the health of the elderly, but many struggle with cooking due to physical limitations. PCAs assist with meal planning, preparation, and feeding if necessary.
Light Housekeeping: Maintaining a clean and safe living environment is essential for elderly individuals. PCAs often help with light housekeeping duties, such as laundry, tidying up, and ensuring that the home is free of hazards.
Errands and Transportationt: For elderly individuals who no longer drive or have difficulty getting around, PCAs may assist with shopping for groceries, picking up medications, and accompanying them to appointments.
Tumblr media
Emotional and Social Support
In addition to physical assistance, the emotional well-being of the elderly is a crucial aspect of PCA services. Isolation and loneliness are common issues faced by elderly individuals, especially those who live alone or are socially disconnected. PCAs offer companionship, engage in conversations, and encourage social activities, which can have a significant impact on mental health.
In 2024, the importance of social connection has been recognized more than ever. Research consistently shows that loneliness can have serious negative effects on both physical and mental health, particularly in elderly populations. They often bridge the gap, providing not only practical care but also a compassionate human connection that enhances the overall quality of life.
The Impact of PCAs on Elder Care in 2024
The role of Personal Care Assistants has evolved to meet the changing demands of elder care. As healthcare shifts towards more personalized and in-home care models, PCAs are becoming indispensable in addressing the growing needs of an ageing population. Here are some key impacts:
Ageing
Many elderly individuals prefer to remain in their homes rather than move into assisted living facilities or nursing homes. PCAs enable ageing in place by providing essential support that allows individuals to live independently for longer periods. This not only enhances the dignity and quality of life of the elderly but also reduces the financial burden associated with institutional care.
In 2024, the trend of ageing in place is stronger than ever, thanks in part to advancements in home-based care technology, improved access to services, and a cultural shift toward personalized care. These perosnal caregiver are at the heart of this movement, ensuring that the elderly receive the necessary assistance without having to leave the comfort of their own homes.
Reducing Hospital Readmissions
PCAs play a crucial role in helping elderly individuals manage chronic conditions, recover from surgeries, and adhere to prescribed care plans. By assisting with medication reminders, monitoring health metrics, and encouraging healthy habits, PCAs help prevent complications that could lead to hospital readmissions.
With healthcare systems increasingly focused on reducing hospital admissions and improving patient outcomes, the work of PCAs in elder care has become even more vital in 2024. Their presence in the home ensures that elderly individuals receive consistent care, which leads to better health outcomes and reduces the strain on hospitals and medical facilities.
Supporting Family Caregivers
Caring for an elderly family member can be emotionally and physically exhausting for family caregivers. PCAs provide much-needed respite by taking on many of the caregiving responsibilities. This allows family members to rest, work, or focus on other aspects of their lives without feeling overwhelmed by caregiving duties.
In 2024, the demand for PCA services has grown as more families recognize the need for professional support in caring for their elderly loved ones. This support not only alleviates caregiver burnout but also ensures that the elderly receive professional, dedicated care.
Flexibility and Customization of Care
One of the most significant advantages of caregiver services is the flexibility they offer. Care plans are tailored to the specific needs of each individual, whether they require full-time assistance or just a few hours of help each day. This personalized approach ensures that elderly individuals receive the right level of care, whether it’s for mobility assistance, meal preparation, or companionship.
Tumblr media
The Future of PCA Services in Elder Care
Looking ahead, the role of PCAs in elder care will likely continue to expand as the elderly population grows and healthcare priorities shift further toward home-based care.
Technological Integration: In 2024, technology is becoming an integral part of elder care, from telehealth services to platforms like Kizuna, which acts as a marketplace connecting families with caregivers, helping them find the right care for their loved ones with utmost ease.
Increased Training and Specialization: As the needs of the elderly population become more complex, there will be an increasing demand for caregivers with specialized training in areas like dementia care, mobility support, and chronic disease management. This trend is likely to grow in the coming years, as more caregivers receive advanced training to meet the diverse needs of their clients.
Policy and Regulation: Governments are recognizing the critical role that caregivers play in elder care. In 2024, there has been a push for better regulation, certification, and support for these professionals, ensuring they are adequately trained and compensated for the essential work they do.
Kizuna: Elder Care Made Simple and Secure
If you’re on the lookout for the right care for an elderly loved one, platforms like Kizuna make the process effortless in 2024. Kizuna ensures that caregivers are thoroughly verified, undergoing comprehensive background checks that provide peace of mind about their trustworthiness and reliability.
Caregivers are also highly motivated, as they receive the majority of their earnings, which drives them to deliver exceptional care. Additionally, Kizuna provides dedicated care coordinators who offer ongoing support and education for both families and caregivers, helping you navigate the complexities of elder care with ease.
