Financial institutions have been happy with the fees generated by not having this system in place. And the Fed is explicitly not allowed to compete with its member banks.
Isn’t ACH a service by the fed? If this is a service for financial institutions, I don’t expect them to make it free. I don’t see how this changes much except maybe making Zelle obsolete or at least changing the back end of it.
Not really. ACH is more of a protocol for non-realtime payments. This is for realtime. While there is a fed ACH the largest ACH provider in the US is The Clearing House LLC. Which, as the name suggests, is a private company.
Emails sent from the .MIL domain to the .ML addresses “are blocked before they leave the .mil domain and the sender is notified that they must validate the email addresses of the intended recipients," Gorman said.
So they aren’t actually making it to the .ml addresses? I can’t tell if I’m not understanding something properly or someone is lying or what
That’s only for emails sent from the .mil domain. Emails sent from other domains don’t have the same filters in place. The issue is that plenty of other domains are attempting to send emails to the .mil domain and are actually sending to the .ml domain. The article only confirms a filter is in place for .mil users, so it’s entirely possible that .gov users have no such filter. Plenty of government workers with .gov domains would be trying to send sensitive info to .mil users. Or government contractors, who would have a whole bunch of possible domains, would be trying to send to the .mil domain and failing.
It’s a pretty big, and stupid, breach, but I’m not sure how you get everyone who’s not part of your closed system to ensure they’re typing out .mil correctly.
That wouldn’t really make a difference here, I don’t think. A standard encrypted email just ensures that only the intended recipient can open it. Since the addressed recipients were the .ml domain, the emails would still be accessible by the wrong people.
Email encryption is kind of broken, but kind of in a good way: if you don’t have the recipient’s key, then you can’t send an encrypted email. Since there would be no reason for senders of sensitive info intended for .mil receivers, to have the key for an equivalent receiver at a .ml domain, the emails would just fail to send, stopping any leak before it happened.
Conservatism needs to be outlawed. It is a dangerous, deadly ideology that spreads like a disease. Racism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, antisemitism and other conservative traits are poisonous and should be regulated as such.
This is infuriating as fuck that Republicans are just allowed to abandon any presumption of governing and just subject citizens to these endless campaigns of outrage that always seem to end up putting some group of people in the crosshairs. I am really tired of politicians being allowed to waste tax dollars on this meaningless bullshit. You should not be allowed to go after any specific group of citizens for pursuing “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.
I want these cruel crooks to be punished for their constant culture war battles.
It could, because the requirements will be laughable. This is just a way for them to obfuscate their investment via a third party while virtue signaling.
It’s also a way for them to finger point during election season.
While a agree with the legal charges I still feel really bad for these two women. What made them so desperate that they chose these actions? Was this really a case of terrible decision making or even malicious intent? I don’t think we’ll ever really know and I hate that the pro-birthers use these sorts of cases as ammunition.
Authorities alleged Celeste Burgess had a medication abortion, and that it violated the state’s prohibition of abortion after 20 weeks. Celeste Burgess was around 28 weeks pregnant when her pregnancy ended, court documents allege.
Jessica Burgess, 42, was charged with the same offenses as her daughter, plus a felony count of performing an abortion beyond 20 weeks and a felony count of performing an abortion as someone other than a licensed physician.
You know that most western countries disallow abortion after 17 weeks (sans risk to the mother) right? The mother was also only given a felony for performing an abortion while not being a doctor, not for the abortion itself.
This also occurred two or three years ago, long before the states abortion laws were restricted
You know that all western countries aren’t the same right? Like how lots have universal healthcare, better social protections, GDPR, etc right?
I feel awful for anyone in this situation that feels they have no other choice.
I’m not a doctor, nor do I have any medical background, but sacrificing a healthy life for something that isn’t doesn’t make logical sense to me, but again I’m in the US, fighting in the US, and posting in the US NEWS. Not other western countries.
I also find it suspect you lump in all western countries as if that’s easily defined and the laws are easily molded together as if they’re all under 1 law structure. Even in the States alone that’s not feasible.
And did I say this was due to Roe overturned? If you don’t think we’ll see more more stories like this, then I wish I lived in your world.
Should be a cautionary tale to protect your data. Especially when it comes to your health information thrown over channels you think are “private”.
