The name on the card? It wasn’t Joe. It was Ann Hebert, VP and GM of Nike’s North American market.

Harris gave a house number on East Lafayette Street.Middleton told Harris to go outside with his cell-phone and take a photograph of the house number. Harris declined, saying he was limited by low phone battery and that his device was connected to a charger.A few moments later, Davis said the police were at the door of Lindsey’s confirmed location to check on her. Lindsey was instructed to go to the door to speak to police.“We may need to adjourn this, your Honor,” Davis said to Middleton.Lindsey's connection to the court proceeding went offline after it showed her speaking to police outside the home. Moments later, Lindsey’s livestream came back online, showing Harris inside on Lindsey's phone and in the custody of police. Davis briefly “face-palmed” upon the reveal that Harris was at the same location as Lindsey.https://eu.sturgisjournal.com/story/news/crime/2021/03/05/court-hearing-postponed-after-accused-found-same-house-witness/4587600001/(start at 06:30.) Rollerblading Karachi cops https://youtu.be/Q0jED85uwbw Our source on probation over at the Infosec PA newswire has been very busy bringing us the latest and greatest security news from around the globe! Industry newsSITA Supply Chain Breach Hits Multiple AirlinesDocker Hub and Bitbucket Resources Hijacked for Crypto-MiningMcAfee Faces Decades Behind Bars After Fraud IndictmentNCSC: Don’t Fall for Mother’s Day Scams This WeekMicrosoft Expands Coverage of Exchange Server PatchesMost Threat Analysts Banned from Sharing Intel with PeersThird of Office Workers Warned After Sharing Data Via Unofficial AppsSuperstar K-Pop Band’s TikTok HackedSchool Boss Resigns After Porn Found on Computer Javvad’s Weekly StoriesIndustry Leaders Javvad Malik and Wendy Nather to Headline Infosecurity Magazine Online Summit - industry pioneers Javvad Malik, security awareness advocate at KnowBe4, and Wendy Nather, head of advisory CISOs at Duo Security (Cisco), will be headlining the upcoming Infosecurity Magazine Online Summit, taking place on March 23 and 24. Tweet of the WeekDr Jen Golbeck reminding us how creepy Facebook and other advertisers (but mostly Facebook) are:Accelerometer Vibrations to Speech — How your phone’s accelerometer can snoop on your calls (popular press)La Liga Soccer App Spying Scandal — Without telling users, Spain’s soccer app used GPS and microphone access to fine bars who hadn’t paid licensing feesSonitor’s Lyra system uses your phone’s microphone to track your position — an example of the ultrasonic beacons mentioned in one of my videosLocation tracking through WiFi signals — Your location can be tracked even if you turn off location servicesFacebook Shadow Profiles — Even if you haven’t set up a Facebook account, the company likely maintains a “shadow profile” of you.Target Knows You’re Pregnant before you tell anyone else — here’s howhttps://www.tiktok.com/@jengolbeck? https://gizmodo.com/facebook-knows-how-to-track-you-using-the-dust-on-your-1821030620https://twitter.com/jengolbeck/status/1368991334309257216?s=20 Come on!
